Your point is a question?

 

Before you ponder such questions, you really should learn to think

logically first.

 

Who decides is a question most frequently asked by whiners. The solution

in this case is the realization that only scientists are sufficiently

qualified to decide which research warrants funding.

 

So to keep the whiners happy use two funding mechanisms. Discressionary

and non-Discressionary.

 

You set a budget for both, and in the second case the scientists decide,

and in the first, the people - through their elected governments decide.

 

I would propose a valid ND/D ratio would be around 0.8

i really dont know. I can see where American corporations want to get

rid of the cost of corporate healthcare plans to improve their

profits. So, that's what is coming. Maybe socialized medicine is bad,

but if its done for the benefit of the corporations, that's what you

are gonna get. scrod. [pluperfect subjunctive]

The sad fact of the matter is that when KKKonservatives turn the

AmeriKKKan Vetrans health care system into a rat infested hole, it is STILL

BETTER than their plan to provide ZERO health care for AmeriKKKans.

 

And that is why Vetrans sill go to rat infested, underfunded VA hostpitals

that are run into the ground by KKKonservative Political operatives.

 

Death is the only cure for KKKonservativism.

At the risk of opening a ridiculously virulent can of

worms, I am wondering what KKKonservative means in this

context, if only because the true conservatives of the

Goldwater era appear to be no more, and the current bunch

who call themselves "conservatives" or "neo-conservatives"

seem to be very reactionary, apparently wanting to

roll back general regulatory policies to before the New

Deal, about the Roaring 20's era (presumably under the

guise of "improving" government or "reducing" government

interference -- which is funny considering that the budget

under Bush is the largest ever, as is the public debt),

and being generally corrupt in certain subaspects (e.g., the

bankruptcy rewrite was driven by credit card companies, Big Pharm

rewrote sections of Medicare/drug legislation, the Clear Skies

act appears to have gutted Clean Air).

 

The Roaring 20's, as everyone should recall, crashed

rather hard, resulting in the Great Depression -- and,

perhaps, ultimately, World War II, though I'm not sure we

were trading with the Weimar Republic at the time and the

Treaty of Versailles was messed up from the word go.

 

The KKK, of course, is fairly obvious though the Klan is

probably not nearly the same Klan that has been vilified

in the past, either -- though one has to ask the question

as to who's the worse sinner: the one who kills the cow or

the one who simply eats the burger/sandwich at McDonalds,

Wendy's, Arby's, or other such eateries who serve beef

in some form. (And yes, I include myself; I like roast

beef sandwiches. It's an insidious trap. But back to

Christian organizations...)

 

For the record, the KKK appears to have its site at

http://www.kkk.bz, and touts itself as "Christian-Friendly".

However, considering the Internet's general approach

to hate I hesitate to state this with any sort of

definiteness. (Nor is this site particularly responsive

anyway.)

 

Another interesting (and probably more useful) site is

at http://www.kkklan.com/ which is not pro-KKK, and

shows for example an interesting picture of the Klan

(or 7 members thereof, anyway), standing in front of a

billboard stating "Welcome to OXFORD".

 

And of course one can go to Wikipedia:

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan

 

which includes a picture of a classical KKK cross-burning

(at a 1923 rally), a somewhat gruesome picture of Michael

Donald's lynching in 1981, and a condensation of the KKK's

history.

 

Their only saving grace (FSVO) is that they don't generally

use bombs as such -- but there are exceptions, such as in

1963 when the KKK (or at least one member thereof, anyway,

Robert Chambliss) bombed the 16th Street Baptist Church,

resulting in the deaths of 4 children. (Chambliss was not

convicted until 1978. Slow justice.)

 

So is this sort of thing true conservatism, or just some

sort of evil stupidity masquerading as such? Of course

I think you (V-for-V) already know the answer, but am

wondering who else is man enough to disavow hate among

the neocon bunch (and to a lesser extent some of the

liberal bunch; ideally we shouldn't hate the Aryan-loving,

Holocaust-denying, Defense-Of-Marriage-Act[ ]-loving bunch,

merely point out the more obvious flaws, including

hypocrisy, in their arguments, and own up to our own

hypocrisy in our own, if necessary).

 

[ ] defining marriage as being exclusively between a

heterosexual man and a heterosexual woman, presumably.

The more strident anti-DOMA activists construe this

as gay-bashing, and to an extent they're right, though

marriage is a bit complicated anyway as ideally it comprises

three aspects:

 

1. Religious.

2. Love/Relationship.

3. Secular recognition.

 

Of these, secular recognition is probably the most

important within the federal and state governments,

though it gets complicated with various scams such

as "marry-me-and-I-become-a-legal-immigrant" or

"marry-me-for-tax-reasons".

But you do. It's part of your moral obligation to your fellow human

I can't answer who is a 'true' conservative.

 

At least some, maybe even most, "modern" conservatives are "classic" liberals to a great

extent or at least to the extent that they see government as envisioned by "modern"

liberal as putting obstacles in the way of the individual.

An interesting subpoint. I'll admit the best I can do

there is note (IMO, anyway) that the liberals by and

large were (and presumably still are) interested in using

government to further their ideals, some of them rather

ambitious (along the lines of the War on Poverty / the

Great Society, for example, in the LBJ era -- one can

endlessly quibble as to whether these programs actually

(a) work as specified and (b) actually do improve the human

condition); the conservatives are more or less content to

go with the tried and true, at least once upon a time.

 

The trouble is that the so-called neocons do neither.

AFAICT they want government to further their ideals,

which involves either favoritism, dismantlement of

already-existing programs and installation of other

programs (the Son of SDI comes to mind; I don't know

what it's called now), decreasing our civil liberties

in the name of defending against external threats to

the Homeland, or a combination of all three.

 

I'm not even sure "reactionary" quite works either.

So perhaps the best term for them are Bushclones,

or perhaps Roveclones, since Karl Rove appears to be

the mover and shaker pushing all this.

 

But even Rove didn't dream up such things as Free Trade.

That was Reagan's baby (though Clinton fed it while he

was in office).

Certianly if you live in a corporate controlled FASCIST state.

 

If that's your preference, then you will have to live with the dire

consequences.

 

The rest of us will continue to watch your society collapse from our

Unlike you the U.S. medical community doesn't consider the dramatic

underperformance of the

U.S. health care industry as a lie, or a problem that can't be solved.

 

The solution is simple. More Socialism and less Libertarian lying.
