    LOL.

    Seriously though I think it points to the true agenda of extreme liberals. They don't give a damn about the environment. All they want is the power to tell other people what to do and make them miserable.

    Jeb put the brakes on drilling off the FL coast.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    It's the problem with our overly localized politics... no one represents the national interest.

    How so? I consider myself in that camp yet I'm a hiker and outdoorsman, and I don't give a damn what people do as long as it doesn't impact me.

    I honestly don't give a damn if someone wants to make themselves miserable.

    They could be playing "Boat Football"... I think it is much like "Ski Football" where you don't pay attention, ski while drunk, and hit trees while trying to catch footballs tossed back to you across the mountain...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    The Kennedya are perfect examples of what inheriting big money can do to ya.

    Also do away with small family businesses.

    At least now I have an inkling on why Liberals love the Death Tax: jealousy.
