Thanks Thom. We don't have to accept the lesser of two evils.

Welcome back Gilly,

Your comment are welcome and needed.Add to them; Career politicians, two
party system that limits choice to their approval and representatives
that don't represent but rule

Ole Thom

Donal,

It's terrible that personal freedom, a natural right that government can't
grant, is so easily taken away.

We must fight tyranny wherever it is.

I must respectfully turn down the prime minister offer, but if you guys need
a King, I'm your man. I think Benny Hill would be a fine Prime Minister.

I'm for any candidate who promises:

" I have no interest in streamlining government or in making it more
efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote
welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws,
but
to
cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have
failed
in
their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial
burden.
I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is needed before I
have
first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I
should
later be attacked for neglecting my constituents interests, I shall
reply
that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that
cause
I
am doing the very best I can."

Vote Libertarian! Leave the big party-franchise politics to those who
are
too cowardly to live or think for themselves.

Gilligan, have you considered moving to the UK?

You could be our Prime Minister! ... Unlike the US, some of us still
believe in personal freedom. However, we don't have any politicians who
will represent our views.

Pack your bags immediately. I shall arrange tickets and some temporary
accommodation.

Come quick! We need you!



Regards


Donal

But Jonathan, the Republicans claim if I vote Libertarian then Kerry will
win.
So I look at it this way, according to either side, if I vote Libertarian
their candidate will lose. Is that bad?

How's your Cal 20 doing? I bet you have it fixed up real nice.

If you vote libertarian, you get Bush. Definitely the worse of the
two.

Great job on rising to the challenge.
Is your name really Vito?

You can bet that no matter who wins the end result will be less freedom
and
bigger government. In fact not one of you can name a single President
that
has ever reduced the scope of government or extended freedom......

Tom Jefferson - He disestablished the national bank.

Now I'm really confused. Those songs looked like they could be amusing. I'm
still recovering from the falsetto on:

"I Saw Mr Presley Tiptoeing Through the Tulips"

Katy just emailed me a black and white photo of herself wearing a bee hive
hairdo. That does it for me, I'm staying around. I bet the Navigator doesn't
have one of those!

Yes, but did you _listen_ to Only Ed's song from which I was
quoting, as were you, albeit inadvertently?

Does this immediate confusion of yours bode well for the future?
Or are you simply attempting an eggsuckulent start?

Authority on Everything

Tadpole:

Anyone with an iota of reason knows that the question, "What would Jesus
do"
is a fallacy of logic known as an appeal to authority. It is used to
avoid
personal responsibility and abdicate volition.

It's odd that those who use Jesus are the biggest advocates of
conformism
and big government. It was Jesus who defied the government of his day,
it
was Jesus who disrupted the marketplace. Jesus was a radical. If the
depictions are true, he also had long hair, slept in city parks. If he
was
around today he'd be the guy cleaning your windshield at the traffic
light.
Amen!

The political "debate" here is so funny!

Should one crack the egg on the large end or the small end?

Paper or plastic?

Communism or socialism?

"What would Jesus do?"

You're right. I was thinking Nader, even though you were typing
Libertarian. Go for it. :-)

Cal is doing fine. I'm doing a lot of sailing when I'm not workin. :-)

But he may, Gilligan, he may. Even where male codon pattern

Benny Hill for Tony Blair?
That exchange just don't seem fair!
A swap like that's not where it's at,
It's just exchanging tit for tat.
