"history proves the elimination of free markets within a state ruins a state's ability to compete in a global free market."

Moronic.

True False or Meaningless, what "free market"???-Globalism is a unilateral clusterfuck for the common man-and an elaborate ruse, designed to eventually subjugate every nation of the world-muddro is correct, because the bankrupting and assimilation of nations is what the game is-you dipshitz who are keeping the faith, had better start developing off-the-grid alternatives to this illusion of a global economy, instead of worrying what your vote will do to "change" anything-....perhaps barter, perhaps take some agri-lessons, and keep seed stores, and find an alternative to the larger cities....haven't heard Obama the implant say a goddamn thing regarding NAFTA, the NAU, the Amero, but it's coming kids, fast and strong-all that we need is a so-called "Natl. emergency".....then this voice crying in this wilderness, will be in the wilderness....deathcow, please keep me a pallet, on your floor....

GB senior's head, along with his putrid wife, over the mantle in the oval office fireside chat room.....a worthy addition, to the wall of past shame.

Yeah, go ahead and laugh it up McCain haters. You all just don't understand a true maverick when you see one (hint: it has nothing to do with Top Gun).

John McCain doesn't play by your rules, because he thinks out of the box, lives off the grid, calls 'em like he sees 'em dreams impossible dreams and lives in the moment.

-John McCain uses a hammer to eat his breakfast cereal and a spoon to hammer his nails.

-When going to the movies, John McCain buys 3 tickets and then just sits in the aisle for the duration of the film, growling at anyone who passes by.

-I once saw John McCain destroy a parking meter with his bare hands. He took all the dimes and nickels, but left the quarters.

-John McCain brushes his teeth with shaving cream; shaves his face with shampoo; washes his hair with with whipped butter and takes his bagels with a thin coating of his own semen.

-John McCain is a rebel, and a living tribute to American individuality; if Ayn Rand were still alive, she would try to stuff John McCain into her vagina in a vain attempt to assimilate his many powers.

You go ahead and spout your fancy words, trying to understand the enigma we've named John McCain, but John McCain has no use for fancy words or names, because words and names are merely labels, and mavericks have no use for labels.

Henceforth we shall call him Mhlellgbnhwyllxinoufrn, the messianic man-servant of creeping infinities.

Am I the first roastER or the first roastEE? !!

Hurry guys or put me at the bottom of the roster... I'm closing on my new house Nov 1st and will be off the grid soon after for a week or so till after the move.

Farhad raised a good point that people aren't going to change their energy consumption habits any time soon. I think that so long as their energy needs are being met, there is no motivation to change, but for the future of the planet, I believe we must change.

The problem I have with nuclear power aside from the risks it poses to the environment, is that it won't revolutionize how we consume resources. Individuals and industries will continue to consume at a heady rate and as aidos mentioned, nuclear power is not a renewable resource, either.

We've got brilliant people on this planet capable of developing all kinds of technology- I'm not buying the argument that renewable energy systems can't meet our needs. It's always the well-funded technology that gets off the ground first. I bet solar R&D budgets are just a drop in the bucket compared with the nuclear establishment's.

Anyway, renewables can certainly meet the needs of the average household. People who have put the effort into going off the grid will tell you that it's a great exercise in changing lifestyle and habits. It's like being made to use a rainwater tank. You quickly work out how to reduce your usage.

thanks for shoving it up choggs' ass aaronfr.....Yeah that was a stretch with China....as for France... if the children of north African muslims are a barometer for the brilliant idea to bring in cheap labor, then to have required them to become French citizens through a process that would make them proud, thankful, and energetic to become French, would have gone a long way to alleviate the stress of a nation now diluting the culture. Here in the U.S., brilliant thinking and lack of legislation and enforcement of existing laws, has brought the same dilution to America, who used to have a singularly unique culture, of immigrants who were excited to be American, rather than excited to be IN America, but not having to "become" American, with a sense of pride and nationalism.....




Most folks in the US, have enough cultural awareness to know, that letting Mexico osmose into America, is a pathetic trade-off economically, etc. Most Hispanics in this country that have naturalized through proper channels, are livid about the influx.....Come to America, retain your culture and heritage, yet become American, not Mexican-American

Learn the Language
Pay into the System
Build assets, and invest here.
Being American must be a pathetic prospect for most of the world and who can blame them....??


[however, the muslims never really integrated within the french society.]

Is this not a symptom of the same type of scenario?? Muslims have been a non-integrating element in England as well haven't they?? The fact that they were given citizenship for indentured labor doesn't really matter, they still never became French, in the true sense...(are not the French sticklers for preserving the language and culture?...they used to be)
Canadians do not let the children born on their soil, automatically become citizens....they saw Chinese doing it, and nuked that shit!!
No nation, if they want to remain a nation, should do this.
Wish we'd used a similar model, but powers have other things in store, for a once great Nation.
France was a once great nation, but they have been bitched slapped from without and within for so long, well,......the 3 countries that provided Iraq with most of their sheit, Nuclear power techs, WMD's (that, incidentally, were there and were moved), were France, Germany, and Russia.......

Why won't they be held accountable??? Because the bastards that are allowed to play games with humans, have governments by the short and curlies......

Eliminate hunger, educate evryone to get them up to speed with the 21st century, and get off the grid/teat by giving the cheap, and/or,free-energy technology that has existed
for decades, and watch a world change very drastically...
no war, no currency, no shit.

Where is the "meh" vote link? I've been off the grid...
Get back on the grid and read the body of the post first, silly!
"Instead of modifying the voting system to allow for this, a much more managable method has been implemented."

James speaks the truth. If you have any problems, let us know.

Where is the "meh" vote link? I've been off the grid a few days up in the boonies of NH. (The withdrawal shakes and pink elephants are worst the first). I'm in the Queue and don't see a "Meh" link.. would expect it to be by the up/down arrows.

Hopefully this makes it to the main sift as well. So I can goof off more efficiently
