Is that advice strictly for the left-leaning or should folk like Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ted Nugent have also stuck strictly to show business? I don't know about Ted...he seems to be an entertainer even when expounding his views. Ronnie and Arnie changed jobs. What's wrong with that? If Cheryl wants to give up singing and become head tp enforcer, I have no problem with that either. It's when they stay entertainers and use that fame to promote something they know nothing about that I object...or rather I scoff. And on this particular topic, it's ridiculous. I mean really...does Cheryl live in a green household? Does she use less water or less fuel than other people? Maybe, but if there's a quiz I'll guess 'not'. Is it really worth the tonnes of jetfuel belched into the atmosphere to have her drifting about the planet like the tooth fairy dispensing bits of wisdom like "one square of toilet paper per wipe"? Why doesn't she adopt a recycleable corncob instead? And Gore is trouncing around the planet leaving sasquatch enviro-"footprints" in his bloated fat wake; I'm sure the planet would breath a sigh of relief if he evaporated tomorrow. Don't these morons see the irony?

Excellent. You will no doubt have read how english common law treats folks deemed outside the law then?

The link you gave me deals exclusively with records of correspondence by the president personally, and the vice president personally.

Good thing too, otherwise one would want the right to stone the other to death.

Must I do everyone's googling for them? http://www.archives.gov/presidential-libra...s/1978-act.html Well, thanks, but that doesn't begin to address the issue. That law deals with presidential and Vice presidential records. Can you one point me to a law dealing with this no doubt dastardly breach of the law?

No word is misleading. They are only used in misleading ways. but, "occupied," is the proper word to apply to both Palestine and Iraq So you think the Jews should leave Woody? What's your solution to "Palestine"?

Ingushetia must be thrilled Woody. Is that before or after it was shut down for funneling money to terrorists? Oh, and look at this: Oh dear. I wonder if they use those wonderful traditional Islamic medicines like...ummm...whatever they used to use in the good old days before they beheaded all the doctors? I bet they work better than modern western medicine.

I was wondering how long it would take you to build a sinister conspiracy with me as a centrepiece. It's not great...I was envisioning myself as the mystical force at the center of the internet or at least as a Demon from Deathstar One, but it'll do I guess. In exchange, I'll use my magical deathrays to protect you from reportage by figleaf for making a post with no content in it.

Now that we've established that no political party has any credibility on the environment -- the Liberals missed the targets and the Tories with this (presumably shows loss of credibility) -- what do we do? Vote NDP? Vote Green? God love us...how do we save the environment? I thought we were going to bring back high seas profiteering? I've already spooned out an eye and fashioned an eyepatch out of eco-friendly hempen threads.

What qualifies a poor old country bankruptcy lawyer as a pro? Sure sure, that's what Barnaby Jones always says just before he puts someone in jail.

WTF are you talking about? You're making no sense whatsoever. Rights that exist outside the rule of law? Do you still have any connectness to reality?

Is it? Is this a serious federal crime? Can you link ne to somewhere that says this? Not that I disbelieve you or anything, it's just that the record of Bush-haters when they bring up the legality of things is not exactly 100%. Like the "illegal" invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan and, well, you knmow. Is no one going to educate me as to the serious nature of this criminal endeavor? Link? Anyone?

Perhaps you should read my post again. I did read your post, and your argument comes across as if someone were singing the virtues of chemotherapy after it cured their lung cancer, when in fact they could have just avoided lung cancer and chemo altogether if they just didn't smoke. Andrew Well, even supposing things were as simplistic as all that, I guess it's something to take up with the Romans for having the effrontry to fall. Unfortunately things are not that simple after all, and I sincerely doubt the Romans would have succeeded in building a similar society, simply because the evolution of western thought is not a unilinear thing. Are you suggesting that the renaissance was merely a pick up point where Greco-Roman thought left off? It wasn't you know. The renaissance was quite a novel thiong, and had it's roots far more deeply embedded in the reformation than in Rome.

No one does.

The American people were still under the mistaken impression that they weren't being run by a bunch of criminals. The vast majority are no longer under that impression. Is this the same "vast majority" that never seems to show up at the polls? The "vast majority" who wants to bancrupt the country to attain...err...nothing? That vast majority is getting harder to find all the time.

So when are you going to swear off all products of fossil fuels and go stand in your backyard naked for a month without eating? when are dimwits, such as you, going to admit the truth? What truth would you like me to admit? That you can stand in your backyard and starve unclothed for a month? Prove it. As long as you're here flapping away I'll know you haven't started yet, because that big bad electricity for the comp has to come from somewhere, and I'll hazard a guess that you haven't coughed up $100,000 or so for a nice fancy hand-modelled windmill made of eco-friendly clay.

Yes, teens and preteens stomp all over the earth with big ugly footprints, let me tell you. Lights on all the time, chaffeuring around town, hour long showers...the planet cringes every time a canadian turns 10.

Despicable stereotyping. Stereotyping would be stuff like saying that all individuals who name themselves 'figleaf' and run around tattling on people have small penises and compensate by taking their frustrations out on other people. Saying that Muslims often explode is like saying the sun will probably rise tomorrow. Even if it were stereotyping though, stereotypes often hold true.

If we pick summary executions, can we have the old 'blown from the mouth of a cannon' method revived? We did it a bit in the Indian mutiny, but I'd really like to see what happens with a 105mm cannon.

Another thing it says is this: I've tried reading that in a number of different ways, and made allowances for a possibly ESL paper, and for the life of me I still arrive at a very scary place. "Disposing of the elderly"? Why is that even in the paper? Why is the subject of euthanasia even broached?

They hit the energy sector and it will go right through the entire economy. Business has two choices, cut wages or close the doors. At the same time wages are cut the cost of living goes up. Never mind that. I'm intrigued by the clear correlation between the demise of pirates and the temperature of the oceans. I put the figures in my handy climate modelling computer, and it said...well it doesn't matter about that right now, there's a clear consensus among scientists anyway...but if we revive the practice of Spanish galleons toting gold and silver to Spain from the new world, I have no doubt that piracy will revive. We'll just have to convince the UN that privateering is essential to the wellbeing of the planet and viola...no more global warming.

I dunno. He seems to have settled for the moment. I'm pretty sure he won't become a Marijuana Party follower this week anyway. Is this supposed to be a real question?

Well said. This fad has caught on with students and whoever walks anyway, and some others have leapt partway on the bandwagon as long as it doesn't hurt too much, but as soon as jobs are threatened or stock portfolios start falling reality will rear its head again. I personally ride my bike most places around town anyway, so I don't care, and I encourage the development of alternate fuels as fast as they are available just to wean ourselves off the Middle east, but I somehow get the idea that the greens think there will be no cost to the program. There will be, and the faster we charge into it the more it's going to cost.

Tell us about the "principles of Parliament" that demand Day resign. What is in the "nature of conflicts" that demands he resign? You mean everytime there are allegations, the object of those allegations ought to "step aside"? There would be no Liberal Party if that were the case, what with mass resignations every time one of them dared pop his or her head above ground. Do please clarify these natures and principles.
