Velcro,WE are the Federal government. If your state representative passes some horseshit nonsense bill through Congress and you don't check him/her on it, guess what?? That's YOUR responsibility. You want the U.S. to turn into a North American Europe, pre-EU?? Have fun with that. Oh and by the way, nearly all the South will be living under 3rd world status, but that's what those muthafuccas want, so have at it. Only and imbecile thinks the 'solution' is to abolish the Federal government, flaws and all. The sale of unpasteurized milk is a health safety issue, otherwise you could only buy milk produced within 5-10 miles of where you live. You want cigarettes to be illegal?? Guess you feel the same way about beer and alcohol too,smh. How many babies and Iraq vets do you think are 'targeted' by TSA?? TSA does multiple random checks not because said passenger is an imminent threat, but in order to test their search procedures. Every state should be allowed to issue its own legal tender?? LMAO. Good luck with interstate trade when EVERY STATE prints its own money. And if your President and Congress are engaged in sending innocent Americans to their deaths in illegal wars, why do the American people choose to elect that same POTUS....TWICE!!??? It wasn't Dubya's fault he got re-elected. It was the American people who committed that crime. We need more oversight and accountability, and more honest effort to eliminate corruption from the process, but you can't have U.S.A. without 'UNITED' and 'AMERICA'. If the concept of a nation-state is too big for for your mind to grasp, you and you ilk are free to leave the country and go herd goats and live as 'free' men, unburdened by the 'superstate'.
I believe it's Grover Nordquist who is credited with this line. What they want is a federal government "small enough to drown it in a bathtub."
Petty, thanks. Really, it's ok. It's a statistic, so who knows whether it will apply in my case or not? My dad died at 44 from heart problems, but both of his parents lived into their late 90s. Unless something more interesting pops up unexpectedly in my life, I won't be sad when it's my time to go
My son is grown, my career is over, I don't have a partner who'd miss me. There's a saying in the climbing community "Leave no trace" which is code for taking your trash back out with you, cleaning any mess you make outside so you don't spoil things for others, etc. It's always been my goal that when I go, I leave no trace behind

Think that if you want to but last time the states had more rights people that looked like me were picking cotton for free and wearing chains. No thanks I'm good.
true any realist understands that living is a temporary disease on its own. But, instead of looking at it like that, i just try to stay focused and busy doing stuff I like doing. If I knew I was going to die today or tomorrow, i'd be happy and at peace. If I live, i'll still be happy. This is the typical mindset of someone unmarried without children. i'd suspect that if either one of us got married and starting nursing a family, our viewpoint on death and dying would shift dramatically in preservation and preparation of our children. I would definitely be upset if I died before they landed on their feet.
Apathy is what empowers bureaucracies and weakens the rights of the people, not the innate existence of those federal institutions themselves. If you aren't willing to be personally invested in the process, you deserve whatever happens to you. Again, if you're looking for a 'smaller nation', South America has more than a few countries I'm sure would be more to your liking. Ask yourself why is Mexico a failed narco state?? Because the drug cartels are better armed with more resources than a WEAK Mexican federal government. Power to the people!!:smt066 Or the gangsters/drug lords. Social darwinism at its finest.:neutral:
You're right if I had kids I would live for them until they were at an age where they could take care of themselves but since I don't.... eh. I love being alive because the alternative sucks lol but I do miss being a child and thinking everything gets better as you get older. I feel like my first 30 years were the best years of my life. I only got stronger as I got older more pussy than a whore house in Texas and lots of great laughs with my friends and my families. No everything is one more responsibility after the next, the women I meet are only looking for a dude to help them raise kids and are way more concerned about being a mom than a wife, money isn't something to play with anymore just shit to tuck away for a rainy day. As you can tell I definitely need a vacation asap lol

Stop linking and make an argument in your own words, dufus. Since apparently you read all those links, what was your point??
well....those links just contradicted what you said making your personal philosophy and thoughts on politics.... invalid
You are classic, Velcro. You're arguing with me, I think. But it's a 'secret' that you won't elaborate on. But somehow that makes your argument a winner. Read a book, mah dude. Step up that reading comprehension.
This movie, apparently, was ahead of its time. This is the type of person we need to motivate us to get off our asses and take our country back from all of the corrupt politicians, government officials and corporations: [youtube]QMBZDwf9dok[/youtube] We could start a letter writing campaign for starters. Inundate the White House will millions of letters all saying the same thing. We could get a million man march on Washington. Apathy doesn't need to continue.
Brilliant scene@@!! NETWORK is the ultimate postmodern, socio-economic blueprint of the global community over the last 50 years. The scene that always fuccs up my head from NETWORK is the 'Money' scene!:smt107 You wanna really know what's up!!?? I don't think you do. [YOUTUBE]zI5hrcwU7Dk[/YOUTUBE]
Book great post. I wish I had your drive my friend but all I see is a populus way to lazy(not scared) to do anything. At least Americans back then wanted to work now all we have is a generation of people who want a lot for absolutely doing nothing. If you went into any hs in the US and found out how many kids would rather be reality stars instead of doctors firemen or teachers it would sadden the fuck out of you. I pray you're right and I'm wrong because very few of us are prepared for the shit storm that's about to hit this country hard in the up coming years.
