have i been missing this person's posts? happy birthday anyway!

ok, so i finally finished it... (and after my pc dumped ~200mb of page file). there are tons of good examples of ways to improve this world, it would be much better even if some of this would start, but i don't know about this "System" necessarily eliminating religion....I think religion will survive indefinitely by one means or another because we simply don't know everything, nor could we. I could agree that "this system" could alleviate many of our problems, but agreeing on what "love" is (in a worldwide idea) will be the biggest challenge after ending "money".

can you guess what i could say? end all subsidies (for all types of fuels) over the next five - 10 years and open up everything with a tad (reasonable, but when is the gov reasonable?) of oversight for environment reasons, ...they prolly have that oversight already. that should slowly creep the price higher, but also as more oil becomes available after the typical 5 - 10 years getting things online, keeping the market a tad more stable (not counting natural disasters) and allowing for truly economic alt fuels to come into their own and expand.

the local "rhodes" hit below $3 ..as a twist, usually they are the last to move prices down and first to raise prices.

traditional.... if you mean since bush 1, probably, if you mean goldwater, no, but there is a large dichotomy of ideas in the "republican party"...there are prolly some "anti gay rights" people that call themselves democrats.

oh, not watched anymore, but it sounds like the project means that if it succeeded, we could become as lazy as we want....Wall-E...? or it would be start of ...eternal prosperity...and "self evolution"

~35 minutes left the venus project is intriguing, but I think there seems like there are flaws in it...unless i'm just "trapped in the monetary mindset". would this "world" numb us to pain/loss? how can you eliminate hate? how would all these initial resources be found/made? do people like to be irresponsible? does sustainability mean everything has to be planned? ....these are things that Utopia's have tried to do, i'm not saying this is impossible, but social changes between now and "success" would be chaos. want and need would have to be merged somehow when at times they are extremes to one another. ...at least until holodecks and replicators. the venus project could be the new "garden of eden"...but what would keep us from "eating the forbidden fruit" again? Camino, you got anything?

I hate you..and your gas prices too. not that i buy gas often (~3weeks), but it's just still way too high over here, i blame the traffic from Illinois....we get tons of business from it, but it keeps our demand high, i guess.

more regulation just makes it's easier for the wealthy to "make more money", control things.

it does seem distressing in spite of the usual. sadly more aren't coming home and reentering our workforce and starting new companies and reindustrializing this nation.

it's finally getting below 3.30 around here.

that would at least be bipartisan.

my first thought.. that is really silly. i guess it's not so bad though.

downloading the first one... it'll only take, a day or so.

and illegal.

how f'n fast was the caravan going?!!!! that's incredible.

hm McCain might not figure how to play, but has actual experience doing something along those lines..or getting it done to him..Obama might have the quicker reactions... LOL

i've started to watch the addendum...at ~12 minute mark... gotta sleep soon. yay buffering!

no offense, but marriage has always been a religious thing...trouble began once the Gov got into it (mainly for incest reason, right?)... gov marriages are technically "legal unions"...they'd just have to expand what "unions" mean....or get out of the "business".

Rule of law: that will solve our debt, increase competition, decrease gov size, get us back to gold/silver, (got $20 on the way) I guess we'd have to go through all past laws and scrap all that contradict earlier ones...if those early laws are actually legal too.

satty, how dare you leave out my choice. http://www.baldwin08.com/ http://www.constitutionparty.com/ you also forgot the green party. EWWW. lol

it says it's a 6 speed on the "clarksometer" eh, i'm not surprised.

http://www.creators.com/opinion/thomas-sowell.html it may not totally encompass most of the "crisis", but if it's true, we have to stop bashing the R's for it...though not entirely.

LOL
