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 Quote

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] Quote

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. Quote

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". -- #191, ewill3@earthlink.net Useless C/C++ Programming Idea #10239993: char f(char p) {char q = malloc(strlen(p)); strcpy(q,p); return q; } -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Quote

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.

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). -- #191, ewill3@earthlink.net Linux.
