I can't say enough as to how fast America is moving towards socialism. With oil at record prices the underground puddle can't fuel the miracle anymore. Bush is hoping for a WWIII to destroy the World once again and then America can emerge as the mighty leader. That is not likely of course.

Face it folks, the only way to survive in the near future is to give up the American Dream and accept a more humble existence. People will soon realize non materialistic happiness is where its at. Sports, music, arts education and so on. Reading books is good too. Fabulous baby.

Are you saying Bush wants to take away my HDTV?

He'll have to pry the remote from my cold dead fingers.

Yep, it seems like only yesterday FDR was introducing the new deal.

Big, does this mean America cannot get up at the crack of dawn on Friday (day after Thanksgiving) and go shopping?

And I used to think that Billy(tickets) was irrepressible.

This board really gets to see irrepressible.

If I had to argue whether our government (fed, state, local) exhibits greater tendencies towards socialism or fascism, I'd argue for fascism.

I'm continually amazed at the abuses of power exerted by governments at all levels. Living in California, I am almost afraid to engage in one of my favorite vices - firing up a forearm-sized stogie while golfing, drinking, or just generally d!cking around. Just one example of the creeping nanny state I live in.
