I don't see any particular obligation on our behalf to fund US drug companies' advertising campaigns, do you? Enjoy spending your money on your personal charity - advertisements. What are you talking about?

"Always"? Alberta has only existed for a little over a hundred years! So what? So saying 'always' seems a little ambitious.

What fantasyland is that policy coming from??? Carve up Jordan!?!? What else can Olmert realistically do? Withdraw to the Green Line.

I don't think this variation on the issue is canvassed there.

What a truly pathetic attack on one of Canada's most respectable figures. You are one sad, little soul. Stephen Lewis? He wants my government to throw my tax dollars at his personal charity. If its so important, why doesn't Lewis sell his nice big house and live in a smaller place and give the money himself?

I can't believe some of the sh!t you people come up with!

Such humbug!

So you aren't going to read the articles I linked to. What makes you think that? Please stop being ridiculous. You said you had read thru something and made an analysis. I simply asked you for that analysis and you went ballistic. So, you won't share this vaunted analysis you alleged you made? If not, I would suggest that we are free to assume you made it up.

Libertarianism doesn't make any sense. Supposedly it advocates limited government, but what dose that mean, really? What reference points are there to determine what is 'limited' enough? How, if at all, does that differ theoretically from straight up liberalism? As there are not good answers to those questions, Libertarianism in practice just amounts to a name for individual complaints about governments ... I say the GST is bad, you say there at too many civil servants, he says to much is spent on national parks, she says ....

Saturn did. Saturn provided links to two reports on health care spending. Here is one from the Canadian perspective. Here is one by Dr. David Gratzer from the US perspective comparing the two countries. Now I have done exactly what Saturn did. I posted two data heavy links that, yet again, prove his 60% figure is fallacious. You need to review posts 122 and 140, because Saturn not only provided links, s/he also provided excerpts with explicative emphases added. Face up to it, Ricki, we know you didn't read the materials, let alone analyze them. Just admit it and you'll feel a lot better.

Dude, open your eyes. The man you're defending doesn't deserve it.

Do you think it bothers me to say I hate Bush? It doesn't. I hate Bush. I hate Bush for many reasons ... undermining the US constitution, destroying America's image abroad, trashing international law, and catering to the undeserving rich, being chief among them.

Again, do you have a problem with that? Do you have any substantive comments?

BTW, here is an interesing roundup of Bush impeachment grounds ... http://www.impeachbush.tv/impeach/grounds.html

f/this crappy forum

So, refute my points if you can.

I'm just sooooo sorry that you can't stand to hear the truth about the disastrous Bush regime. Obviously part of what bothers you about it is that you have no substantive response.

Criminal recklessness. Theres no law in the united states that has the ability to impeach for that. Unless he gets behind the wheel of the limo half cocked. FYI... I wish Bush had not precipitated America's decline.

I certainly posted the thread to criticise incompetent Bush and his destructive administration. Do you have a problem with that?

I see a lot of people who, through either willful ignorance or an intention to mislead, insist on misrepresenting the nature of the equalization program. Again I ask, why not just complain about how it really operates, rather than make up an incorrect description?

Simply go to Statistics Canada. It will provide you with all the info you need concerning homicides, domicides and what most Canadians had for breakfast this morning....................... and frankly , it didn't appear very plausible to me either (and my kind......whatever that means). Thats why it concernes me. Sometimes, the truth is unfortunate. Seems like Myata is right about your posting.

I'll share my efforts when somebody else shares theirs. Saturn did. But you said you've already put out the effort, all you need to do now is reveal it.

Thank you for your comment. You're allegation that I am bashing Bush reveals an inherent distaste for free discussion, and by extension for democracy. This is not surprising, since as a defender of Bush, you are defending the same disdain for the American way that he has revealed. My post consisted of a excerpts and comments about specific policies of the Bush administration. I didn't make up the problems, I am merely discussing them. If you wished to dispute the troubling nature of these choices, why did you not do so? Instead, you merely complained about having them even mentioned.

This used to be a military post of the IDF. They used to farm the area around their post. Then 35 Yeshiva students preparing for service in the Israeli Army lived there in a bunch of trailers. Its situated in the Jordan Valley. Now it appeats 40 settlers removed from a settlement in Gaza will live there. The bottom line is its 40 people. The bottom line is it's not Israel's land and settling there suggests it has no intention of making a just peace with the Palestinians. What fantasyland is that policy coming from??? Carve up Jordan!?!?
