    The individual is disposable. The institution stands as strong as ever, rebounding with Reagan. And besides, Nixon still received full benefits, same as all the others. So, please, don't try to tell me he suffered any sanctions. If I had those bennies, I would write all the nasty press I would get myself. For sure that is actually how it went down. despite some of the real crimes of treason he committed in '68, the man lived a full life, on our dime. He felt no shame. Nobody ever gave him reason to. Of course, if you want to see much worse, look at Kissinger. He's still around, with as much clout as ever. How is that possible? Please, Nixon was a glitch, covered over by Carter, to make the next guy look good.

    "Respect" and "life" are only words.

    Whatever isn't business is entirely personal. I don't know what else to tell you. I always just do whatever I can to stay out of the way, and I would appreciate the same from everybody else. Basically, just don't block traffic, and it's all good.

    Shame is exactly what they need.

    Doesn't work on sociopaths. That's the behavior we reward every election cycle, so naturally, the trait becomes dominant. It can't be helped.

    ...it LIMITS the governments.

    How does it do that? Unless someone enforces it, it is totally, utterly worthless. We are and will be always dependent on the good will of the guy with the gun. The paper is bullshit.

    The word "right" implies ethics. In nature strength overwhelms weakness. To consider it "right" (which only exists in a man's head) makes it an ethical issue.

    The constitution means nothing, as was said above, it's only words. The only thing with any meaning is the conscience of the man with his finger on the trigger. Does he respect life, or not?

    "Spaceflight" technology goes back to 1926.

    And the 747 still burns kerosene. Progress in that respect has remained static since the first steam engine. However, think about the fact that man spent thousands of years on horseback, makes the present rate of progress look pretty good.

    Or they could suspend Microsoft corporate charter until they come up with the goods. And besides, if the government can go into any country and grab whoever is "on the list", then they can do the same for a hard drive, too.

    They will elect the politicians who will make it happen. If not, then NASA will spend the rest of its existence looking for lost change in the couch.

    Pot is an irritant. So far all long term effects have proven nil. A few months after stopping, it's like you never smoked at all. Maybe natural tobacco isn't so bad either, but cigarettes are so full of nasty shit...

    Hey, look, I'm cool with however you want to run it. I'm just asking if you have a plan for implementation of whatever changes you want made, or are we just expected to slog along, and keep voting for salesmen, and watch the next 10 or 12 years become a little worse than the last, and hope to be rescued by Harry Potter?

    There's no other way to put it. What you have is what you voted for, under the veneer of charisma.

    Fuck Reagan! He's dead, Jim... We've had 30 years to turn that shit around. Who the hell is to blame for that miserable failure, huh? Are you all going to keep on blaming the the people you all vote for every time you vote for some guy just like him? I won't say you deserve this, but you sure did ask for it. If you want to look at who to blame, you'd better look in the opposite direction. Dig?
