I think you guys are barking up a few trees that are dead. Who cares who is friends with whom? Who owns what, and so forth. You make it sound like if your a conservative or liberal (and NDP), you have to be enemies. WTF? These people work with each other on a daily basis and bond as co-workers...

Lol. Well I say we take examples from dear ol George (Lucas), and develop those really damn cool armed troop transports from the last couple of movies. Those could be do able in one fashion or another. We already have the larger copters, now we just need to add more weaponery. Blah blah...

Heh. Well when we're not busy killing each other it does...

I agree with you there Inf. Minority governments and triple E senate would be wonderful. Although I think having no parties (furturetrooper) would be to much, as it could lead to so much back room jocking for votes that it would lead to a very corrupt system with vote buying and all. Otherwise...

I agree. I think Harper is on the way out. Slowly, but gone... Why the hell didn't McKay run for the damn leadership in the first place? Nut bar. As for Harper having a hidden agenda. Whatever. It sounds good in the media when you say its hidden. Its his non-hidden agenda and his past comments...

Because that seems to be the only info you desire to hear and/or listen too. I don't think so. If by brokerage you mean a party needs to broker deals with other parties in order to stay in power, then we would see that as the system in any country that has more then 2 party rule. In fact...

Since when are the various parties diametrically opposed? Yes they have different ideas of how to do things, but to be diametrically opposed is a little harder then what is actually there. I think I would agree with you there. I'm was not happy when he decided to not to run for the leadership...

Nice post Tom. ;D However, you kind of went a little astray there with your reference to Pak/Indo mega tonne missle exchange. I thought you were refering to the ideas of the terrorist dirty bomb idea? As for the rest. Agreed. Any Asian mass nuke use would definatly cause a radioactive cloud to...

I think the idea of hot and cold LZ's may be correct from that limited point. So the idea of us dropping into a hot LZ has never been something that we "wanted" to do. But I think what they are meaning is more towards that we will not be sending in these rapid deployment forces to any theatre...

With that being asked. When does the next issues of various journals (Armour Bulletin) come out?

It will stay together, with a few more bumps and bruises. Older hot heads in the west (and Quebec) will die off and younger more forward thinkers will prevail. The Liberal's will not last forever, or even as long as the Alberta Tories. I think barring a forced election, they will serve one...

Ok some questions. First. If you give people control of their own money/destiny as far as treatment is concerned, would that not also mean you would have to come up with some way of making clear how much it cost for each kind of treatment? That would be a very long list or brochure. Now some...

Jeez Tom, you really are paranoid about terroists with nukes arn't ya? You better start digging that bomb shelter, or maybe you just need to find the keys to the one you dug back in the 60's... :dontpanic: As for flying tanks. Neat idea. But I think the Robotech ideas are still a ways off...

Sorry Inf. I didn't write the message to knock your idea. I'm still chewing on it. There is alot of stuff there. :o Wow. Just finished reading it for the third time. The MSA idea is not bad. I even think I like it. Its similiar to what the US is trying to do, but not quite. By keeping the...

Brad - Sorry. Poor choice of words there. I still think the existing system can work, albeit not in its present form. Throwing more money at it has proved to do little but increase the problems as our population grows. Scrapping the system as well will do little but harm a great number of...

It still leaves me wondering what the hell the difference between parachute dropped troops and Airborne is? While the article indicated a move in a direction we have discussed on this board for some time (light forces). It still left me with some reservations as to just what those light units...

Did everyone get a gander at this article in the National Post today? http://www.canada.com/national/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=31a9fa57-81f0-402c-b870-d8652ef4a051 One of the big things that caught my eye was: "There are certainly comparisons you could draw (to the CAR), but I don't...

Isn't Bushie boy planning on building refineries on newly closed military bases? Keep those jobs in town and all?

Ok I'll bite. How can you administer a system like that, as well as look after those who cannot afford to pay into the public fund? Also, (not that our system now isn't immune. Far from it.) how would you avoid rampant corruption and fraud? And how would you avoid the best Doctors going to the...

Just a couple of sites. Nothing doom saying or anything, but a counter point. http://www.brookings.edu/views/articles/20041201orszaggale.htm http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3430565.stm That last one is a look at it from outside the States, which is...
