    No offense, but that was a really stupid question. The answer can be found at: http://www.google.com/search?q=rick+boucher and it takes five seconds to come up with that search yourself.

    Look up http://singlegoal.com and http://eternalambition.com . Then
    look at the only purpose anybody can have--as follows.

    MEANING

    The meaning of all conscious beings is to pursue one of two
    goals--love or power.

    All subgoals except L2 are unachievable.

    A conscious being...

    -Common subgoals:

    C1. controls reality.

    C2. knows reality.

    C3. has mastery of potential reality.

    C4. has mastery of the abstract plane.

    -Love subgoals:

    L1. and one other are the only conscious beings to exist for all time
    and space.

    L2. is bound by a seed of love to the other conscious being.

    -Power subgoals:

    P1. is the only conscious being to exist for all time and space.

    At least the government is theoreticaly under public supervision.

    They are fighting that tooth and nail though.
    Did you know that Bush wants his Department of Homeland Security to be immune from both the Freedom of Information Act and the Federal Whistleblowers Act?
    Could he state any more absolutely that he intends it to engage in anti-American, unconstitutional, and illegal actions?
