I second both. Its a sad sad situation.

We'll just have to see how far it gets in all this political hub bub.

Wow. Good writing Brad. :salute: I see your point. But answer me this? How do you purpose to keep individual's from infringing on "your" rights without having a social order (government)? And on that same note. Since the pursuit of individual money/power/influence is usually with/upon the...

True. But you are getting crustier... :dontpanic:

Couldn't agree more. However...          ...they TRY to a point to control the drugs coming in (And Bruce can probably attest to the REAL world on this), but only to a point. Keeping the bad guys "happy" means that they don't have to work as hard dealing with them (which is extremely...

Two things in that last rant. One. Putting more police on the streets means nothing. You have to get the criminals charged and through court. More police just mean more back log in the court system. Not to mention no where near enough jail space. Their double bunking them already, which is...

If you pay attention to what goes on in your riding, you can pretty well be assured that there is SOMEONE who is running with the same ideals as yourself. Problem is most people vote strategically and that leaves you basically 3 choices. So we can either have even more parties sitting in...

Majoor - No arguement here. I've never said I have supported the liberal's and all their ideas/fiasco's/wastes. I agree, don't vote for them. On that issue, I would just argue that it is not only the Liberal's who have done these things in the past. Yes they are the latest pigs at the trough...

I think the majority did when we voted in the last election? His name wasn't Steve was it? Sounds alot like that friend I referred too. Except the work-fare put a stop to that and allowed him to re-train in something he was finally good at (graphic design). Now he has money, a job, and travels...

What form of twisted philosophy are you reading? Or is that from Adam's economics? As for the "yous" and government. They can only act upon what the majority of the "yous" demand and then vote for. I suggest you read European Dream by Rifkin. It takes a good look at the American dream and the...

Its funny that that should be said. Considering Alberta has had one (absolute) majority government or another (3 in fact) in its whole 100 year history. They love their continuity.

Larry - You do? Thats wonderful. Congrats. I find it rather disturbing that with all those wonderful kids you would have the attitude of "somethings going to kill me, oh well.". but then I say...   ...Oh well too. Actually its called democracy. That ideal form of government that we have these...

Sounds like the Democrats and Republicans down south. ;D Not far off at all. Lets all vote NDP and see what a pisser that would be. :blotto:

You must lead a very very sad lonely existence Larry. :'(  I wonder if you have kids to pass that sorry attitude onto? As for 48th - Sheesh. I hear there may be some survivalist militia in minnisota looking for recruits. And I wonder how you can maintain that patriotism in the face of all that...

I guess I have no heart, and no brains? (Don't all jump on that one at once ;D) As a Red Tory that has had his party swept out from under him, I find it difficult to side with either. Otherwise. Good posts by Ape and Medic. You've both hit very close to where I stand.

I guess you don't mind the fact that Alberta has one of the worst environments in country? One of the fastest rising number of cases of cancer? Lousy Educational standards? Etc... Fine, he's done a great fiscal job. But at a price. Lets hope that he starts to remedy things now that he's paid...

I guess it comes down too...                ...the Liberal's got caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Past governments did not. Doesn't mean they didn't have their hands in there too. The reason that "central" Canada does not sway easily is because they are looking at the whole picture of...

I'll speak to that last part first. Hmm...    ...welfare kids are begot by welfare parents? So we should get rid of welfare and let them all starve to death? Or do we try to give those kids the best chance of breaking the cycle as possable? And your quoting someone who puts his foot in his...

I think there is a basis for both. In order to get elected and stay there, you have to tell the people what they want to hear. If that requires a lie, then off to the lie they go as long as they get re-elected.

Once again your talking in economics alone! GDP and PPP are simply economic models that do not look at the true health of anything other then the economy. Because the US has a large GDP doesn't mean that the people benefit from health care or lead "healthy" lives. And I agree with you that...
