You still have some work to do on the concept, grasshopper.

Nice flame, however. <eg>

Yo Eddie!,

Maybe that Scott Ritter considers himself a conservative Republican and
supported Bush II and voted for him in the 2000 US Presidential
Election?

That's OK, Johnnie. The Brits and Russians and French (for God's sake) and
even Saddam's own generals will vouch for you (along with the U.N., CIA,
FBI, State Dept., etc etc etc.)

Oh, and don't forget the Kurds, of course. Pity they're too DEAD to talk
about it...

The FREE MARKET is never wrong. If competition brings down wages, it is
a natural correction to financial overcompensation.

What the US needs is to remove artificial barriers to practicing law
and medicine in the US, so the FREE MARKET will bring the costs of
these services to a reasonable level.

What you don't realize is that you just stepped into a pile of **** with
that remark. Houses down there are going for over a million dollars to
live in a decent area. How the hell are you going to pay for that with a
globally adjusted wage? The foreigners, almost all of whom are single,
share a house between 4 or 5 or more. How is a married couple going to
compete with that? The damned executives pay themselves millions a year
so they can afford it then ***** about the shortage of skilled labor.
The reason for that is that any sensible kid going to college these days
is better off becoming a corporate lawyer, doctor, or something that
can't be off shored. Along the lines of your last comment, VOIP and
video conferencing via the Internet could make that happen. The
prosecution lawyer could be in India and the defense lawyer in China,
both on big screens in the courtroom. How about out sourcing politicians
while we are at it? I am sure they could find suitably corrupt ones
overseas too.

Limbaugh is the best and most entertaining radio talk show personality ever
to come down the pike. When others occasionally substitute for him, you
realize all over again what a genius he is. The drive-by media (NY Times,
CBS News, etc.) is pitiful compared to him.

Then why the MS...NBC?
Billy boy also bought most if not all of Ziff-Davis publishing, a
magazine house that just happens to put out a large percentage of the
electronics news magazines. That way they can cover Linux or some other
operating system but they can't rave over it. Money talks.

Bill, your daughter is a genius, but she is also quite unique for a woman.
Most men do not care much about reproducing themselves. They just want to
have sex - period! But it is mainly women who want children. They are
living, breathing, walking baby factories for sure. If women can be
convinced not to want children, or at least not so many children, that will
partly solve the overpopulation problem in a few generations, at least here
in the West.

The real problem with too many people arises in the third world. And now
they are exporting their surplus people to the West and we are just stupid
enough to take them in. The rather small town where I have lived most of my
life here on the high prairie of southern Minnesota had zero minorities when
I was a kid (not even any native Indians). Now it is half Mexican and Asian.
Go figure!

So does she, but with protection and not tied to a guy who wants to get
married and, oh, by the way, have a few kids.

She sees the world as it is and would not want to sentence her child to
live in it.

Thanks again to the self serving politicians who think growth at any
cost is a good thing. They should be lined up for a firing squad for
what they have done to this once great country.

You just confirmed my point. I am part native American, the rest from
immigrants from Europe who got here legally via Ellis island. The damned
Mexicans get over here and have one kid and we let them stay because
that kid is an 'American' and we can't kick out an 'American' and his
family of ten non-Americans. Then they make the women into baby
factories because they all claim to be good little Catholics and the
Pope says babies are good, have many, and raise them Catholic so we can
overpopulate the planet.
Maybe we should nuke the Vatican when all the world's Cardinals and
highest Catholics are their. The world would be better off.
Religion just causes trouble.

Maybe there really is a planet Baka! I have been going out riding every day
for the past 30 years and the only others I ever run into are crusty old
bastards like myself. It is a wonder to me that murder has not been
committed many times over by now. Maybe Bill could send some of those 20
something blondes my way or are they all to be found only in California
(near Sacramento).

No, Brickston has a unique wit which I appreciate. I myself do not have any
wit at all. All I can do is parody, the lowest form of humor. But more
importantly, I detect good nature between the two of you. If you are not the
best of friends, then you are the best of enemies. That is not a bad
trade-off in the world of men.

Whether Bill Gates (Microsoft) bought an interest in NBC or not, I do not
think he ever has one thing to say about its news division. After all, he is
busy doing many other things.

Nope, you got to really listen to him and if you do so you will be royally

It's getting scary, I'm agreeing with Baka. The large corporations would
like nothing else than to push their work force into low standard of living
conditions where they would be not much more than slaves that could not
afford to move to a better job. Sherman's "Free Market" concept means
"free" labor to the company and give control to some socialist government.
BTW, I'm one of the most conservative people you will find, it's just I see
what's happening to well paying skilled manufacturing jobs in this country
and what they are being replaced with in low pay service jobs.

I most certainly do not approve of anyone having sex for any other reason
than procreation, most especially women! We men are slobs and sinners, but I
expect women to be infinitely better than us.

Yes, you are quite correct about this business of being born in America,
therefore you are an American. We have to get rid of that concept
altogether.

Well, now you have gone astray yet once again. It is not religion which
causes third world peoples to procreate like they do, it is their status as
peasants and ignoramuses. Birth control is a very tricky thing to get right
and third world peoples just cannot manage it at all. Religion has nothing
to do with it; our human natures (surging hormones) have everything to do
with it. It is only in the West that we have managed to get any control over
it at all (mainly via abortion). The ignorant Muslims procreate just the
same as ignorant Catholics or ignorant pagans do.

The ultimate solution is some kind of chemistry which will shut down the
reproduction of women. I would also like to see some kind of chemistry that
would shut down the activity of sex too, but maybe that is hoping for too
much.

Religion, however much trouble it causes in the world, is necessary to
mankind. Even you admit to being religious, unlike myself. I am a full going
atheist without any reservations whatsoever. Only a very small percentage of
mankind is capable of atheism and, frankly, I do not wish this kind of
brutal truth and honesty on anyone. It requires a very high degree of
intellect and civilization to be an atheist and a humanitarian at the same
time. Most of history's great atheists have been nothing but great
murderers. ****** and Stalin come immediately to mind as recent examples.

So why the hell wasn't the above posted to ARBR, you confounded moron! You
know that is where I am at and most of this **** on RBM is strictly for
idiots.

As for the dumb blondes that Bill Baka admires, I would advise them not to
get involved with men who are older than they are. There is no one in this
world who admires dirty old men, least of all Saint Edward the Great.

No one really believes the above statement anymore. It is universally

Yes, the above would not be a bad start, and then we should get rid of third
party insurance. If everyone had to pay for his health care out of his own
wallet, that would make quite a difference in what could be charged. My
grandparents were doctors and they were anything but rich. Same goes for
lawyers a few generations ago. Now those professional degrees are nothing
but a license to steal.

No, Scott Ritter was a liberal asshole from the get go. It is immaterial he

Many on the political right disagree about the need for government
regulation.

The other option is to let business regulate the government on economic
and labor matters. This was first put into full practice in the 1930's
by nice men such as Benito Mussolini, Ferdinand Franco and Adplf
******. However, today's proponents of such a system shun the
comparison to these men for some reason, and the associated term
fascism.
