His weakness is part of why we have such issues today in the mid east.

Here are your last dozen posts on this forum. In the past, posting a recap of your posts seemed to positively influence your output here, going forward...

Being they are programmed for one kind of response, the ants are helpless.

The political philosophies matter little when its about who can shout the loudest with the most people, regardless of the merit of the argument.
We are left with those who enjoy the art of the debate, for the sake of the debate, and those with axes to grind. While we can enjoy reading those who are here for the debating, it quickly dissolves when confronted by an axe wielder.
I have a feeling next November will be quite different.

I was once told (by a union official I know personally) that the main reason the democrats (unions) were in favor of every minium wage increase they could get was that it created the baseline for where unions could set their wages. After all if UNSKILLED labor gets X then highly skilled Union labor should get X+Y at the very least. I haven't seen anything that would make me think he was wrong, as the concept of a minium wage is economially stupid.
