2. I've heard the same things about the BBC. Wasn't there some lord that was a higher up in the BBC that commited suicide over some false anti-American story that aired?
3. ric, [sarcasm]Yes, we gave Halliburton $2 billion to rebuild Iraq so we could steal their oil and lower our gas prices below the $1 mark again.[/sarcasm] I suppose that's why its now $2.20 per gallon now.
4. I'm not completely familiar with the Kyoto accords, but if there are any provisions where countries that are large polluters are fined and other countries get funds, then I can see where its a wealth distribution system.
Well said.
Wasn't it Lenin that said the best way to destroy the middle-class was through taxation and inflation?
Ric - The BBC did have Michael Moore on (Moron?) during the last election to provide commentary. Very....unbiased....of...them. Talk to me when they have Sean Hannity on and I'll call them at least fair.
Ric - Which English newspaper had a headline of "How can 155 million people be so dumb?" after Bush won his second term?
Inherent in the power to tax is the power to destroy.
And I think accusing the US of contributing to 50% of the world's pollution is a reach. Go to central asia if you need convincing of that...or what about the old Soviet Bloc states? How does allowing these places to slide while our businesses take the lion's share of the burden help? Can people be taxed into prosperity? Do we pollute? Yes. 50% world total?...please.
"It takes a villiage" to feed Michael Moore...Don't know who said it but I like it.
I'm withdrawing from any further debate, as it seems anything I say escalates things further. The last thing I want is to bring controversy to this board, where I've gotten a lot of laughs for several months now.
