And I thought conservative meant 'keeping up the status quo', much like Micro$oft. > example: taxpayer funded flower planting, What, you don't like flowers?

If you understood your history books (what's left after conservatives censored them), the only reason African-Americans were 'welcome' in the North was because they were a cheap source of labor. Capital- ism is really slavery. You do realize that 2% of this country's population controls more than 90% of this country's resources, don't you? > Federal > funding for empty city bus lines. Surely you're not talking about LTD. Have you ever ridden an LTD bus? Do you think we need /more/ cars in Eugene? > > At 01:53 PM 2/26/2001, you wrote: > > > >Please define 'fact'. Yes, I wrote that, but not at 1:53 PM 2/26/2001 Furthermore, I hardly consider Eugene's government liberal. I mean, really, Jim Torrey a liberal? Give me a break! Yeah, they may talk pseudo-liberal, to pander to the many pseudo-hippie-but-really-yuppie people in Eugene. You know, the type that go to Saturday Market and pay outrageous prices for crafts and clothing they could make themselves. (A real hipppie-liberal would quit his job and sit at home with his friends and family and make everything they need, and do it with as little commercial product as possible. Much like an open source programmer :)) The reason the government of Eugene spends money on things like bricks for the mall is they're afraid they'll get sued if they do anything but the mundane. That's why there's no cross on Skinner's Butte. That's why Christmas trees are banned in public work places. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
