alcohol is NOT the answer to your halcyon orbital queries.

Jack ass tags cannot be forgiven though, although jack ass jackassery prior to the tags being called cannot either.

My bad.

...bad tags.

>> ^direpickle:
I think the title of the remix is more correctly "Halcyon and On and On" / "Halcyon (plus sign that video sift refuses to render) On (plus sign that video sift refuses to render) On".


to get a + sign to show you have to put three spaces in front and behind it.
It is strange but hey... Technology!

>> ^EMPIRE:

Halcyon, & on & on is a different mix. I believe this is the original one.
But Halcyon, & on & on is one of my favorite songs of all times.


"I remixed a remix... It was back to normal!"

I think the title of the remix is more correctly "Halcyon and On and On" / "Halcyon (plus sign that video sift refuses to render) On (plus sign that video sift refuses to render) On".

@Psychologic, seriously, you link me an article about a study done by Cato?

Try a non-partisan study, please!

As for my murder legalization example, I don't think it's hard to see that there would be more murders.

Let's try some other silly hypothetical. Let's say that during the halcyon days of the Bush administration they placed an embargo on all French cheeses, just because they wanted to stick it to the French for not going along with the whole invade Iraq thing.

Would that immediately increase the amount of French cheese into the United States, and ultimately make those snooty Saddam-loving French get even higher export revenue from the US because of the embargo?

Wouldn't it stand to reason that if the world really worked that way, that much of foreign trade policy would center around trying to provoke other nations into placing an embargo on US goods?

I freely admit I don't understand why it's so important to have "good standing" among our "global neighbors" when these other countries have governments that treat their peoples like serfs and cattle and are ruled with iron fist by kleptocrats, dictators or socialists who can seize private property any time they wish.

Is America supposed to feel bad for not living down to these lower, inferior standards and ways of life?

The good general, reflecting on the halcyon days of Gulf War I, seems to have selective amnesia about the Muslim war against the West that's been ongoing since 1979 and well before.

He's also wrong about imperialism, which DOES work, when applied sincerely and with great intent. Countries ruled under the British Empire in its heyday prospered far more than their more primitive neighbors. We should freely take some Iraqi oil to help pay for the war effort, as well as taking some of Mexico's oil reserves to pay for the cleanup of their undeclared invasion.

America has lost its martial spirit; the same reason ancient Rome fell. That's the real problem in Iraq and elsewhere.

END OP-ED.

ah, the halcyon days when a comedian to open a show with telling "faggots" not to look at his ass.

Kerry represents one of the more cliched liberal fantasies: marrying into money instead of working for it and then wiling the halcyon days away spending other people's money like a drunken diamond thief, except even said thief WORKED for his ill-gotten gains.

The Swiftboaters were a nice touch, but such an obvious (flip)flop socialist belongs in the crumbling European-soon-to-be-Islamic Onion, not anywhere near the American Presidency. Mission Accomplished.
