In reply to:
I personally know three guys who left $70,000 to $100,000 jobs to start an eBay biz... they are all making $100,000 or more from their house... I thought they were nuts for quitting their jobs, but it works great for them.
Clearly I'm in the wrong business. What are they selling?

Perhaps we should take different slant and only let those people vote that have a clue....perhaps an entrance exam. The problems we have is that we have an electorate that is apathetic and often ignorant. Perhaps if we made it difficult to actually vote, people might just get off their a$$es, put down the damn cup cakes, and educate themselves on civic responsibility and the issues that make up the platforms of each candidate. Everyone goes ra ra ra and tries to get everyone to get out and vote.....Perhaps we should reconsider trying to recruit the idiot drones and focus more on those that have some semblance of a clue about the responsibilities of being a voter in a democracy/republic.
...end sermon/rant.

And maybe if the Repubs and Dems would stop recruiting "idiot drones" as their candidates for office the more informed of the electorate might get excited about their choices. Sorry couldn't resist.

Remember "No taxation without Representation ?" ... How about "No Representation without taxation" ? ... If you don't pay Federal Income taxes... you do not vote.

Sounds like a recipe for unprecedented apathy to me.

One of my twins looks just like that, but only between 10:00 PM and 1:00 AM!

"...but that might just desensitize them to the fact that War = death and violence (by and for both sides)."
In all seriousness, I wonder what the future would have held for us had we not responded to 9-11 by going to war in Afghanistan, and then continuing the liberation of the Muslim world with the invasion of Iraq.
If, after 9-11, we had just mourned for a while and shrugged it off - what would the world be like today? How would future events have played out differently than they are going to now?
BTW, Kerry's done - put a fork in him.

Did I at any time say we should not have gone into Afghanistan? In reply to:
...continuing the liberation of the Muslim world...
Hmmm. If you take Afghanistan as an example of liberation of the Muslin world, then I really hope Iraq ends up faring much better. As it stands now, we shoud return to Afghanistan since most of it seems to have "unliberated" iteself.
