Jeez, Hepcat. I probably won't be around much tomorrow. And it looks like I'm booked up for a few days. But I have a good opening on Wednesday afternoon. Does that work for you?

Speak for yourself. I only ask to be left alone. It's actually entirely unfair from the standpoint of us libertarians. If we get our way, we're perfectly willing to leave other people to their own devices. When others get their way, however, they're determined to shackle us with chains financed out of our own pockets. It's a bitch to be sure.
What functions do you think government should carry out?

"Take the country back" is the war cry of the scooter riding tea-baggers. If the blacks and hispanics walked the streets carying guns saying they were going to take the country back, we'd be under martial law. The "failed stimulus" was Bush's idea. Obama has done 70% of what he said he would do in the first half of his term. The problem is that cracker America awoke in January 2009 with a black president, and they cannot handle it. They cannot handle the mathmatical fact that whites will not be the majority forever.
