Because so many of the "Haves" don't want the "have nots" to become "Haves". It used to be that going from "Have Not" to "Have" only required ingenuity and work. But the "Haves" are jealous of their having and don't want to share. They would rather "have" a little less and make sure no one else has what they have and they don't care how much less the "have nots" have in the process. What they don't realize, ever, apparently is that eventually the "have nots" reach a point where they just burn everything done and then no one has anything.

The whole debate about science or creationism is spurious. Science is only supposed to tell us how the universe works, not why it works. On the other hand the Bible tells us why it works, not how. The people around when it was written, when the angels spoke to the shepherds before the birth of Jesus were talking in terms that the people of those days understood. If the angels had said E=MC squared, the shepherds or anyone living in those days would have replied "Huh?".

He didn't expect Putin to steal his ring? What a doofus.

I've said it before, I think that someone must have something they are using to blackmail Rubio. Either that or they found a way to bribe him. He started out sounding so good and has fallen into a bed of roses and come out smelling like fertilizer (to be polite).

And Way Better spent than teaching prostitutes in China to drink responsibly.

Note that in the end "Frodo" became "Nine Finger Frodo" because at the cusp of things, he too was corrupted by the power he could attain by keeping the ring. Only Gullum biting off the finger that had the ring of power and losing his footing did the story come out with a happy ending. My take is that NOBODY can be trusted with the power they seek by defying the constitutional limits like Obama, Bush et al. That's why I'm recommending everyone consider joining the constitution party: www.constitutionparty.com

What amazes me is that prices don't seem to be going up on fuel and food here in California. At least for now. I'm assuming it's because the economy is so bad here that no one could pay higher prices and that depresses prices from where they would normally go if you considered the enormous increase in dollar supply by the fed. Where is it going? I never see any of it.

Yes I am concerned. I'm concerned that they need desperately to be fired and go find an actual productive job and they probably won't be. This concerns me greatly. It also concerns me that should they actually be fired by the voters that they could not find a real job doing something that actually produces wealth because they are simply not capable of doing so. This also concerns me greatly. I'm so concerned.

To damn late for that. We are already totally controlled. Any hint of actual freedom is now granted to us by "The State" rather than by God. They have been trampling the constitution for 150 years. Progressively going further and further every year till now and almost no freedom is left.

I still wonder after all these years, if the Shah had really been such a bad guy, why didn't he have Osama assassinated back when he had the power to do such a thing? And why was Jimmy Carter such a (and still is) a pusillanimous idiot. He claims to be a Christian but his actions lead one to think that he completely misunderstands the message Christ Jesus brought to us.
