  1. From commipedia.. Classical liberalism (also known as traditional liberalism[1] and laissez-faire liberalism,[2] or, in much of the world, simply called liberalism) is a doctrine stressing individual freedom and limited government. This includes the importance of human rationality, individual property rights, natural rights, the protection of civil liberties, constitutional limitations of government, free markets, and individual freedom from restraint as exemplified in the writings of Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill,[3] Montesquieu, Voltaire,[4] Thomas Paine and others. As such, it is seen as the fusion of economic liberalism with political liberalism.[2] The "normative core" of classical liberalism is the idea that laissez-faire economics will bring about a spontaneous order or invisible hand that benefits the society,[5] though it does not necessarily oppose the state's provision of a few basic public goods.[6] The qualification classical was applied in retrospect to distinguish early nineteenth-century liberalism from evolutions in liberal thought during the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially the "new liberalism" associated with Thomas Hill Green, Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse,[7] and Franklin D. Roosevelt,[8] which grants the state a more interventionist role in the economy, including a welfare state. Classical liberalism is not to be confused with the ideology that is commonly called "liberalism" today in the United States, as "classical liberalism" is actually closer to being a tendency of "conservatism" in the U.S.[9] Seems someone has been playing my favorite game. Role reversal.
  2. Honestly, I find these labels useless as I think everyone has their views on each specific issue. We're all individuals, not labels. I do find myself siding with human life rather than currency in most situations. If that makes me a liberal, so be it. But personal responsibility comes first and foremost.. and don't believe in coddling stupidity. Make a mistake, learn from it. Not rocket science. Plus, I think the label has changed drastically from what it was for the founding fathers.. It used to mean individual freedom first and foremost.. Not pinko communism.. Conservative has lost it's identity too it seems. Just words for people to choose sides and divide while both parties give us the shaft in much the same way..
  3. Only those who know me knew I meant it as a personal attack.. a damn serious one too. This is where you ask me what's so bad about being called liberal after validating benders right to phreak out on me for the next week for not really calling him a liberal. Right, eddo?
  4. Welcome to the liberal party... Last time I said that to someone, I was in a week long fight for my account.

  6. No doubt.. Karma.. It is a bitch. So is Martha, apparently..
  7. That was the deal, huh? All I caught on the tube was "Elliot Spitzer infidelity scandel".. Good use of tax payer dollars. Isn't prostitution illegal? Guy couldn't get it for free?
  8. I heard this on the radio on the way to school today.. ridiculous.. She wont get a dime. Has to be one of the most absurd things I've ever heard. Imagine the door this would open? Unbelievable is right. I predict not only will she receive nothing, but will be prosecuted for embezzlement from an employer as well..
  9. Can't forget about Wish You Were Here... Great album.. Shine on you Crazy Diamond Pink Floyd Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun. Shine on you crazy diamond. Now theres a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky. Shine on you crazy diamond. You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom, blown on the Steel breeze. Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, You martyr, and shine! Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far. Shine on you crazy diamond. Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there. Shine on you crazy diamond. And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph, sail on the steel breeze. Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyqgjCKm9nQ]YouTube - Pink Floyd "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Syd Barrett Tribute[/ame] Wish you were Here Pink Floyd So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain. Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk on part in the war, For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here. We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Where have you been? its alright we know where youve been. Youve been in the pipeline, filling in time, provided with toys and scouting for boys. You bought a guitar to punish your ma, And you didnt like school, and you know youre nobodys fool, So welcome to the machine. Welcome my son, welcome to the machine. What did you dream? its alright we told you what to dream. You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar, He always ate in the steak bar. he loved to drive in his jaguar. So welcome to the machine. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCfVFxRsKQc]YouTube - Welcome To The Machine - Pink Floyd[/ame] Have a Cigar Pink Floyd Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar. youre gonna go far, fly high, Youre never gonna die, youre gonna make it if you try;theyre gonna love you. Well Ive always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely. The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think. oh by the way, Which ones pink? And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it riding the Gravy train. Were just knocked out. we heard about the sell out. you gotta get an Album out, You owe it to the people. were so happy we can hardly count. Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart? Its a helluva start, it could be made into a monster if we all pull together As a team. And did we tell you the name of the game, boy, we call it riding the Gravy train.

  10. Seems I'm feeling a bit Pink lately.. here's some from Dark side of the Moon Us and Them/Eclipse Pink Floyd Us, and them And after all were only ordinary men. Me, and you. God only knows its noz what we would choose to do. Forward he cried from the rear And the front rank died. And the general sat and the lines on the map Moved from side to side. Black and blue And who knows which is which and who is who. Up and down. But in the end its only round and round. Havent you heard its a battle of words The poster bearer cried. Listen son, said the man with the gun Theres room for you inside. I mean, theyre not gunna kill ya, so if you give em a quick short, Sharp, shock, they wont do it again. dig it? I mean he get off Lightly, cos I wouldve given him a thrashing - I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really...i mean good manners Dont cost nothing do they, eh? Down and out It cant be helped but theres a lot of it about. With, without. And wholl deny its what the fightings all about? Out of the way, its a busy day Ive got things on my mind. For the want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died. Eclipse All that you touch All that you see All that you taste All you feel. All that you love All that you hate All you distrust All you save. All that you give All that you deal All that you buy, Beg, borrow or steal. All you create All you destroy All that you do All that you say. All that you eat And everyone you meet All that you slight And everyone you fight. All that is now All that is gone All thats to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon. There is no dark side of the moon really. matter of fact its all dark. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlY-JlE5ZCo]YouTube - Pink Floyd - Us And Them[/ame] The Great Gig in the Sky Pink Floyd "And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime." "If you can hear this whispering you are dying." "I never said I was frightened of dying." (Instrumental) [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXkVpifmxUg&feature=related]YouTube - Pink Floyd- Great Gig In The Sky- Screen Film[/ame] Lets try this version.. that other had crappy sound. Gotta be the best vocal solo ever! Money Pink Floyd Money, get away. Get a good job with good pay and you're okay. Money, it's a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash. New car, caviar, four star daydream, Think I'll buy me a football team. Money, get back. I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack. Money, it's a hit. Don't give me that do goody good bull . I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set And I think I need a Lear jet. Money, it's a crime. Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie. Money, so they say Is the root of all evil today. But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're giving none away. "HuHuh! I was in the right!" "Yes, absolutely in the right!" "I certainly was in the right!" "You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!" "Yeah!" "Why does anyone do anything?" "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!" "I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely. It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hkjkTe5kZE]YouTube - Pink Floyd - Money[/ame]
  11. Well, I told her not to come over or call me anymore. The reek of dysfunction is gone.. Come on over if you want to talk about it Ali.. ask me anything you like. Got my haircut at great clips last Friday too.. yay me.
  12. Anyone besides me watch this? Quite interesting...
  13. No doubt, I get wacko's online running around accusing me of being delusional and lying quite often while trying to ban me for many of my beliefs. I guess if I'm right, they must be wrong.. rather than examine their views and challenge me with logic, they'd rather I just disappear.. Crazy. 6 billion people can say something is truth, one person can say the opposite. That one person just may be right..
  14. Most likely would be something like that.. But I'm sure people would still die, unless we build titanium bodies. I'd love to wake up in thousand years just for the experience... I just checked that.. Alpha Cenautri is over 4 light years actually.. Crazy. Takes it's light 4+ years to get here..
  15. Makes sense.. Also, the Sun will eventually burn all it's fuel. It is a fact.. the Earth will cease to exist.. All good things come to an end. Earthlings will eventually need to leave the "nest" if they are to survive. The amazing thing.. we have the capability to do so.. Is that Gods plan? Find a new nest? The universe is a big place. I find it nearly impossible that we would be the only planet with life. The problem is, it would take more than a year traveling the speed of light, which is like 186,000 miles per second, to get to the nearest star in our own galaxy.. mind boggling. It's like seeing back in time.. the light we see from Proxima Centauri (Alpha Centauri C), the nearest star to us, started over a year ago. Plus, not all stars are created equal.. stars like our Sun are not the norm.. Crazy to think about..
  16. Very true... I'd go with pollution.. I don't see genetic manipulation itself as a "sin".. All cells start out as undifferentiated stem cells.. Being a smoker, and an idiot, I'd like to be able to culture me up a new pair of lungs.. Pull some cells from my femur.. be my guest.. However, I could see it getting full out of hand.. But what will be, will be. Not a big fan of cloning, or designer babies and the like.. just growing spare parts basically.. Hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys, etc.. I think lifespans could take a huge leap.. What if they are ever able to "shut off" aging? Crazy stuff.. Keep the brain/spinal cord alive.. live forever. Who knows? I'd be willing to be cryogenically frozen on the chance I could wake up in a thousand years..
  17. I think Catholic priests molesting young boys and the Vatican covering it up should be at the top of the list..
  18. I had to vote gays.. You know, 2 people of the same sex, having sex is going to be the end of America.. Really, people don't have a problem with friends and roommates and the like being the same gender... it's just the act of sex people have a problem with.. Hahahaha.. who cares? No one is going to force anyone to have gay sex..Unless you're in prison of course. If churches don't want to marry them, that's fine.. but as far as the laws and benifits given to married couples, they should be available to all domestic partnerships, in my opinion.. gay and straight, if they choose to. If it's Gods will to condemn them after death.. that's their choice. It is a fact that genetics get messed up and although someone may look like a man or woman on the outside, they are completely opposite on the inside.. Hormones play a huge role in who we are..
  19. May as well post some off The Wall as well Young Lust Pink Floyd I am just a new boy Stranger in this town Where are all the good times? Who's gonna show this stranger around? Ooooo I need a dirty woman Ooooo I need a dirty girl Will some woman in this desert land Make me feel like a real man?

Got a bag, got a toothbrush and a comb. When Im a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone. I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on. Got those swollen hands blues. Got thirteen channels of on the tv to choose from. I got electric light, And I got second sight. Got amazing powers of observation. And that is how I know, When I try to get through, On the telephone to you, Therell be nobody home. I got the obligatory hendrix perm, And the inevitable pinhole burns, All down the front of my favorite satin shirt. I got nicotine stains on my fingers. I got a silver spoon on a chain. Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains. Ive got wild, staring eyes. And I got a strong urge to fly, But I got nowhere to fly to (-- fly to... fly to... fly to...). Ooooo babe, When I pick up the phone, Theres still nobody home. I got a pair of gohill boots, And I got fading roots.

Hey you, standing in the aisles With itchy feet and fading smiles Can you feel me? Hey you, dont help them to bury the light Dont give in without a fight. Hey you, out there on your own Sitting naked by the phone Would you touch me? Hey you, with you ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out Would you touch me? Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, Im coming home. But it was only fantasy. The wall was too high, As you can see. No matter how he tried, He could not break free. And the worms ate into his brain. Hey you, standing in the road Always doing what youre told, Can you help me? Hey you, out there beyond the wall, Breaking bottles in the hall, Can you help me? Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall. [click of tv being turned on] Well, only got an hour of daylight left. better get started Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?

One of my Turns Pink Floyd Day after day, love turns gray Like the skin of a dying man. Night after night, we pretend its all right But I have grown older and You have grown colder and Nothing is very much fun any more. And I can feel one of my turns coming on. I feel cold as a razor blade, Tight as a tourniquet, Dry as a funeral drum. Run to the bedroom, In the suitcase on the left You'll find my favorite axe. Don't look so frightened This is just a passing phase, One of my bad days. Would you like to watch T.V.? Or get between the sheets? Or contemplate the silent freeway? Would you like something to eat? Would you like to learn to fly? Would'ya? Would you like to see me try? AAAH, no! Would you like to call the cops? Do you think it's time I stopped? Why are you running away [ame]www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmwUIgLzVEE[/ame] Don't leave me now Pink Floyd Ooooh babe Don't leave me now Don't say it's the end of the road Remember the flowers I sent I need you babe to put through the shredder in front of my friends Ooooh babe Don't leave me now How could you go? When you know how I need you to beat to a pulp on a Saturday night Ooooh babe Don't leave me now How can you treat me this way? Running away I need you babe Why are you running away?

Goodbye cruel world, its over. Walk on by. Sitting in a bunker, Here behind my wall, Waiting for the worms to come. ( worms to come. ) In perfect isolation, Here behind my wall, Waiting for the worms to come. ( worms to come. ) Waiting, to cut out the deadwood. Waiting, to clean up the city. Waiting, to follow the worms. Waiting, to put on a black shirt. Waiting, to weed out the weaklings. Waiting, to smash in their windows and kick in their doors. Waiting, for the final solution to strengthen the strain. Waiting, to follow the worms. Waiting, to turn on the showers and fire the ovens. Waiting, for the queers and the coons and the reds and the jews. Waiting, to follow the worms. Would you like to see britannia, Rule again, my friend? All you have to do is follow the worms.

And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions You can hide, hide, hide, "I'll tell you what, I'll give you three blacks, and play you for five ..." "Ta! You was unlucky there son" "Time gentleman!" Behind paranoid eyes. You put on our brave face and slip over the road for a jar. Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar, Laughing too loud at the rest of the world With the boys in the crowd You hide, hide, hide, Behind petrified eyes. You believed in their stories of fame, fortune and glory. Now you're lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle age The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high.

Did they expect us to treat them with any respect? They can polish their medals and sharpen their Smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for awhile. Boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead.

And if I show you my dark side Will you still hold me tonight? And if I open my heart to you And show you my weak side What would you do? Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone? Would you take the children away And leave me alone? And smile in reassurance As you whisper down the phone? Would you send me packing? Or would you take me home? Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings, Thought I oughta tear the curtain down. I held the blade in trembling hands Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang I never had the nerve to make the final cut. "Hello? Listen, I think I've got it. Okay, listen its a HaHa!"

[phzzt!] "...moving in. They say the third world countries, like Bolivia, which produce the drug are suffering from rising violence...[fades]" Tell me true, tell me why, was Jesus crucified Is it for this that Daddy died? Was it for you? Was it me? Did I watch too much T.V.? Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes? If it wasn't for the nips Being so good at building ships The yards would still be open on the clyde. And it can't be much fun for them Beneath the rising sun With all their kids committing suicide. What have we done, Maggie what have we done? What have we done to England? Should we shout, should we scream "What happened to the post war dream?" Oh Maggie, Maggie what have we done? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_g9ysArxCdk&feature=related]YouTube - Pink Floyd - The post war dream (From The Final Cut album)[/ame] The Gunners Dream Pink Floyd Floating down through the clouds Memories come rushing up to meet me now. In the space between the heavens and in the corner of some foreign field I had a dream. I had a dream. Good-bye Max. Good-bye Ma. After the service when you're walking slowly to the car And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air You hear the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream. A place to stay "Oi! A real one ..." Enough to eat Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud About your doubts and fears And what's more no-one ever disappears You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door. You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no-one kills the children anymore. And no one kills the children anymore. Night after night Going round and round my brain His dream is driving me insane. In the corner of some foreign field The gunner sleeps tonight. What's done is done. We cannot just write off his final scene. Take heed of his dream. Take heed.
