agreed, i did not say entirely tho for a reason. i mean, i know that world demand for oil is at 88 billion barrels and we can only produce 85, and i know that Bush doesnt control the oil industry's production or prices, im just saying since that oil is responsible for the main functioning of everyday society in our country, it is fair to say that when oil prices rise due to demand, all other energy related prices also rise. and being that companies arent handing out raises whenever the price of oil rises 10 bucks, it is also safe to say that the value of a dollar has declined because people are still making the same amount of money as they were when oil was at $75 a barrel...and i know there are other factors involved such as the treasury printing more and more money and just throwing it towards foreign countries and national corporations and such, i know our dollar isnt THAT bad, yet, but since its fallin below both the Candian dollar and the Euro, i feel reason enough to bitch about it...just tryin to rebulte lol
Fuck George Bush

What America stands for is a government by the people. A government set up by its founding fathers in such a way that the citizens have access to a free press and to free expression. They went out of their way to amend an already excellent Constitution just to make sure that was possible. Their point was to give people an alternative to just leaving a country if they didn't like the policies. Instead, they built in all kinds of mechanisms where the people could change the policies.
What they believed in was that the people would use every means possible to express their opinions and convince each other and their lawmakers to change policies when they didn't like them. The word for it is dissent. And dissent is an almost sacred American duty.
My point is that there is nothing, and I repeat, nothing more un-American than your suggestion of America, Love It or Leave It. What our founding fathers told us was, "America, Love It or Change It." Why do you hate this so much? Why do you hate America so much?

You are starting to get a little bit of froth at the corners of your mouth, and you are shrieking a bit. I am starting to get worried about you. Here, take this paper bag and breath into it for a few minutes. I think you will feel better after that.... That's it. Now doesn't that feel better?

Actually, Sweden has been a sociali democracy for quite a few years now. Under Olof Palme, it has produced a strong economy from sole proprieterships to multinationas (Saab, Ikea, Ericsson, etc), while maintaining low unemployment, low inflation, low infant mortality, low national debt, low cost of living, all while enjoying sizeable economic growth.
In fact, infant mortality is down at 2.8 deaths/1000 which is only beat by Singapore at 2.3 deaths/1000. While life expectancy in Sweden is 80.6 , which is the fifth highest of all nations, the US has infant mortality at 6.4 percent and life expectancy at 78 years of age.
The World Health Organization ranks Sweden 23rd of all nations in respect to quality of health care, beating the USA which is down around #37.
Does this help with your research?

Ah, Singapore. If one was looking for a country vastly different from Sweden, one need look no further than the Fourth Asian Tiger, am I right? :biggrin1:
Mr Pecker, Mr Co-Administrator, could you tell thos of us who don't know, how to start a thread. I have some great topics for chat. Thanks a big one.
If you click on the Et Cetera words above you will be taken to the main board of the Et Cetera forum. At that point go to the words "Thread Starter" and put together your new topic.
Yeah, and that's why there is going to be a huge Democratic landslide this November. Got to get rid of all elected officials who are anti-people, with anti-people ideology.
That's what happens when wealthy people are not made to pay their fair share in Taxes. They seem to have all the perks in society. We need to run all these fat cats out of the country.

Well, the latest polls show President Bush's approval rating at an all time low. Only 32% approve of his work. I wonder what he will do to make it even lower.
Acouple of years ago, there were quite a few stickers, but now only once in a long while do you see one here in Austin. Whether people like it or not, we are becoming more Liberal here in Austin anyway with all the people moving here from all over the country.I'm amused at the number of W bumperstickers I still see on cars here in Orange County, CA...Not surprised, but amused. It's hard to imagine that anyone still thinks he's done or is doing this country any good.
Then again, those bumperstickers might be on cars belonging to employees of Halliburton or Blackwater.
I'm all for seeing him and Cheney stand trial for war crimes, among other things.
We have to get rid of all these insurance companies. They are the ones bleeding our country dry.
Yeah but you've got to remember that Republicans controlled the Congress for most of Bill Clinton's presidency.
If you don't think that these two bumb-fuck oilmen have anything to do with the price of gas, then you are smokin stuff straight from Mexico. lol
If you like conservatives or conservatism, then move to Russia. Be liberal and live your life like you want to.This has been making the rounds on the internet, thought I would share.

The largest is Exxon, a US corporation. Also Chevron is US. The US is the largest market. The US military props up pro oil corporation regimes that are anti democratic like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Nigeria, Burma, etc.
No Willy, not to you buddy. I thought when I pushed the button this would happen. It was an idea for a bumper sticker. In fact I think you should come to Austin and me, my buddy and you could do an allday version of the wild thing. lol Dude, you're hot. lolI hope that was your idea for a bumpersticker and not directed at me., because if it was, you're preaching to the choir.
How about a lying conservative lying to the whole world about everything he says. The man doesn't have a conscience or a soul.
