So is there no obligation to keep bad people from doing bad things?

If you walked past an alley and someone was being beaten would you:

1) keep on walking, or 

2) go get a commitee together to decide if the person doing the beating should 
be stopped, or 

3) just go in and stop the beating, or

4) look for an inspector to determine whether there was actual beating occuring 
or not before deciding what to do?

If OJ simpson were out Knife shopping, wouldn't you keep an eye on him, and try 
to intervene before he decided to off his latest girlfriend?

Exactly what lie was told?

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/monacharen/mc20030718.shtml

This whole lie is a political sham to give the Democrats a snowballs chance 
in hades of winning the presidency next year.

My biggest fear is that Bush will go so far to the left (perscription drugs, 
willy nilly spending, etc..) that he'll lose his base (and the election), just 
like his daddy did in '92.  

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/jonahgoldberg/jg20030718.shtml 

For all the whining about Bush, just what kind of response do you suppose Big 
Al would have had to september '01? Algore's lies are well documented.

To be fair, I looked for Bushes lies too, and apparently his opposition isn't 
too well organized.  The best I could find was this:

http://www.bushwatch.com/bushlies.htm

And after reading about half of the sheet, it seemed that most all of them were 
not Bush lies, but rather Bush ADMINISTRATION lies - not quite the same thing.  
I can understand statements within an organization being delivered by different 
people at different times in different people getting scrambled.  That's part 
of the nature of large organizations - unfortunate, but true.  I'd think that 
Al could remember whether he actually raised tobacco on his farm or whether he 
really invented the internet

Where do I say that all Americans lie?

The inspectors were not given ready access, nor were they given full ability to 
interview key personel freely.

So what kind of Government would you want Iraq to have?  Are you implying that 
all types of Democracy are evil?  What makes it the right American Democracy

I'm not sure how I'm being Pessimistic.  I believe that the leadership of the 
US and British government did and is doing the morally correct thing.  I'm not 
sure they spoke the right reasons for doing it, but I believe that we are doing 
the morally correct thing, and that Iraq will be a better country when we leave 
it than it was when we arrived.  In some ways, I believe it already is.

I think we're going to have to agree to disagree after your reply.  This is 
WY off topic from my original post, which addressed states rights and 
individual rights within the US.  We aren't going to resolve this, and we're 
cluttering the archives with off topic stuff.  If you want to take this to 
another forum, however, I'll go along.  Just let me know where we're going.

 I know that US is a very dangerous place to live in and if
 you called the police, you would probably be arrested for
 being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
 
 What are you telling me, that all Americans lie?
 
 I agree that it is easier to spot the few true things, said by
 the Bush administration, than following all the lies.
 However, on occasions you can even catch Bush. Like
 the latest (that I know of),
 
 THE PRESIDENT:
 The larger point is, and the fundamental question is,
 did Saddam Hussein have a weapons program?
 And the answer is, absolutely. And we gave him a
 chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't
 let them in. And, therefore, after a reasonable request,
 we decided to remove him from power,
 along with other nations, so as to make sure he was
 not a threat to the United States and our friends
 and allies in the region. I firmly believe the decisions
 we made will make America more secure and
 the world more peaceful.
 
 I maybe have to inform you that the inspectors was allowed in
 and also full access.
 
 Search the motives and I will repeat what I said to start with,
 
 Eric,
 Do not worry, if US can get the right American democracy
 government in place. US have secured close to its 25% need
 of the worlds oil resources and the money was well spent. In
 that case you can definitely say that US did the right thing for
 US. Who cares about the Iraqis? They have the wrong religion
 and do not appreciate the American culture anyway. The world
 is a better place for American actions, after Iraq. It is so afraid of
 Americans, that it is a petty that US cannot benefit from the extra
 Biogas production and use it for solving the Natural gas problem.
 
 You are too pessimistic, try to look at it from the bright side.
 That is what I suggested. Even if the natural gas problem remains.
 
 The Iraqis that was betrayed and murdered by Saddam, with US
 as instigator and silent onlooker are dead. Do not expect that
 their families and friends should love the Americans. I have full
 understanding of that some people will try to take a potshot on
 Americans, when they finally comes in the shooting range.
 Personally, I am against violent revenge or any other killings,
 but that does not mean that I do not understand the motives.

2003-07-17 Thread mtushmoo

My point was a bit misconstrued here.  My point is that none of those programs 
(some of which do some good things) should not be run by the federal 
government.  They are programs that should either be run by state, or local 
governments, or (God Forbid) non-government entities including charities and 
individuals.

I fully understand that everyone does better when everyone does better.  I 
also understand that many well-intentioned government programs do more to keep 
people repressed than to encourage them to expand to their full potential.

That's why I encourage education (for an example) to be removed from the 
government.  It isn't managed in the best interest of the children, but usually 
in the best interest of the teachers union, and the continuation and expansion 
of whatever agency gets its fingers in the cash pie. 

In America today, you go through the school system, and are then thrown into 
the swimming pool of the big wide world.  Unfortunately, our schools are often 
leaving life jackets on kids until graduation day in the interest of 
protecting their self esteem and other touchy feely crap, so that they don't 
know how or whether they can swim.  Come graduation day, all the life vests 
come off, and into the pool you go, until you get to the edge of drowning and 
the government lifeguard department of social services has to fish you out of 
whatever trouble you got sucked into.

I do plenty to support people who need help, and I'm the first person in line 
with my checkbook and my labor through private agencies.  I also recognize, 
though that the only reason I'm able to do that is because I had good parents 
and happened to get a decent public school that taught me how to swim and make 
good choices on what roads to follow.  

I'd rather concentrate on the zeroth approach; try to keep people from needing 
a rescue in the first place, then rescue one or 2 people (through volunteer 
lifeguards) instead of rescuing an entire beach full of people with government 
paid professional lifeguards.

I've been to swimming pools where you had to swim so many laps in the shallow 
end before they let you into the deep end.  Since life doesn't have such a 
test, and life has a nasty habit of throwing in currents, undertows and 
drop-offs, it's in our best interests to make sure as many people as possible 
can swim.  For that to be most effective, it has to happen at as local a level 
as possible without meddling from Washington.

In short, my point was that the feds should have nothing to do with educating 
kids (Head start, teachers, college scholarships), health care, housing, and 
CNG conversions for automobiles.  It was meant as a rant against big government 
putting its fingers where it didn't belong, NOT a rant to let people suffer.

 Something tells me that you're not familiar with the concept (much less the

 Perhaps if you were familiar with water rescue techniques you'd see things a
 bit differently. First approach? - get flotation to them. Last approach? -
 hands on rescue.
 
 Trick is that when the last approach is executed it's usually when the
 individual is but a hair's breadth from going under and in sheer panic. Sad
 thing is that if the situation gets to that point it's all too possible that
 both both parties end up drowning.
 
 But you'd prefer the sink or swim approach, eh?

Actually, I agree that we should have had a formal war declaration.

I DO think we did the right thing, and that the world is a better place for our 
actions in the past few months, but I think the methods by which we got to the 
decision to do it probably are suspect.

It's an example of how violating the constitution just a little bit becomes a 
slippery slope that isn't recoverable.

Abe Lincoln was the first to get away with a wholesale violation of the 
constitution by not letting the south secede peacefully.  The whole concept of 
our government was a VOLUNTARY union of states.  Once membership becomes 
irrevocable, there is no defense against bad government, and the country hasn't 
been the same since.

[biofuel] vac distillation heat disposal

2002-02-12 Thread mtushmoo

Remember, Boiling requires heat to make it happen, even if it is 
occuring in a vacumn.  The vacumn making the ethanol boil will absorb 
heat from the mix.  That's the process that air conditioners work 
byor did you mean the heat in the condensor from the condensing 
vapors?

It's disposing of the heat after I've used it, that will be my
 shortcoming. I am trying to remove the heat disposal problem, by
 simply not putting the heat in to start with.
