I said that the EU would invade the US...

Newfound? It\'s about 50 years USA are, as Dalec said, super power. The only important difference is that during many years there were TWO Big Brothers incessantly fighting against each other. Finally, one was the winner, and got a control over ex-enemy\'s territories. The Berlin Wall was the border. European Union - a perfect way to have a global control - is a child of USA.

Maybe I phrased it to vaguely.
The Bush-administration is no longer hiding the fact that they\'ll do practically anything for money and wealth, that\'s what I wanted to say.

\"Don\'t vote - it only encourages them\"
=)
as Michael Moore once said \"the only choices left on the menu are cottage cheese and fried breadsticks\" Most ppl dont vote because theres nothing but crap on the menu.

And that\'s because both parties have degraded into organization\'s who\'s job is to disagree with each other.

The reason behind the constitutional amendment for marriage is to protect marriage from lawless judges and mayors.  

I am all for reducing the size of government, but Marriage is already an intrigal part of our government.  Marriage is where church and state overlap and should overlap.  Marriage is defined and a union between a man and a woman period.  There is no room for interpretation.  That is the way it is.  A constitutional amendment will not increase the size of govenment one bit.  However,  it will save us from countless class action lawsuits from ultra liberals who think that this will some how improve our lives.

It is not about rights!  There is nothing in our constitution that grants you the right to marry!  There is in fact several laws that LIMIT who you can marry! The argument that the current law discriminates against Gay couples, completly ignores the fact that marriage is ment to discrimate.  Not just anyone can get married!  There are rules, one of them happens to be that you must be a male/female coulple.  The Mormans tried to change it and the government put them in jail!

Bush is 100% right on this one!

I think your all crazy.  The government doesnt need less power... it needs more power and more control over the people.

Its power should not be limited by the freedoms of the people.  

I\'m gonna let you all in on a little secret. (You can thank me later)

Freedom = Liberty

Too much Liberty = Libertarianism

Too much Libertarianism = Anarchy



With this in mind, I call for total dictatorship!

And my vote goes to Maddox!

Buhahahahaha, tremble in fear goths!!

Those are both extremes. You are trying to avoid one extreme by going to the other. Extremes are bad. There is a happy middle ground somewhere.
