Giving that the GP platform says " We do not place faith in paternalistic "big government." how do you explain all the additional goverment programs that would be required to impliment the rest of your platform?
If you have the goverment paying for all education, all medical care, a min wage level, energy research,antipolution research and housing assistance isn't that the very definition of Big Goverment?
Do you plan to force Home School and private schools to teach your diversity plan? IOW, to you plan to force religious schools to teach that other religions are just a good as the religion they believe in?
"We support universal health care and a single-payer insurance program, that is publicly financed at the national level, administered locally, and privately delivered with freedom of choice of provider. It would cover all standard medical procedures, as well as drug treatment, dental care, medication for chronic and terminal illness, equal coverage of mental illness, and abortion."
Does this mean that you would make it illegal for a person to pay for medical care themselves? If not, how do you plan on inforcing the 'single-payer' portion of your plan?
What about wages in the medical field? Would you limit how much hourly workers like nurses are paid?
We oppose those who seek to divide us for political gain by raising ethnic and racial hatreds. "
Does that extend to groups like MEChA? or does it only apply to groups that are pro American?
--FROM the NET--
What does MEChA stand for that is so radical? They express contempt for people of European ancestry and advocate returning Texas and the other Southwestern U.S. states to Mexico. Their "El Plan Espiritual de Aztlán" (which can be found at the MEChA website) declares:
"In the spirit of a new people that is conscious not only of its proud historical heritage but also of the brutal "gringo" invasion of our territories, we, the Chicano inhabitants and civilizers of the northern land of Aztlán from whence came our forefathers, reclaiming the land of their birth and consecrating the determination of our people of the sun, declare that the call of our blood is our power, our responsibility, and our inevitable destiny. We are free and sovereign to determine those tasks which are justly called for by our house, our land, the sweat of our brows, and by our hearts. Aztlán belongs to those who plant the seeds, water the fields, and gather the crops and not to the foreign Europeans. We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent. Brotherhood unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people whose time has come and who struggles against the foreigner "gabacho" who exploits our riches and destroys our culture. With our heart in our hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the independence of our mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze culture. Before the world, before all of North America, before all our brothers in the bronze continent, we are a nation, we are a union of free pueblos, we are Aztlán."
Since the green party platform calls for the banning of homophobia would you make it illegal for Christian preachers to preach on that topic? It has happend in Europ.
Did the USGOV (IOW the taxpayers) 'INSURE' the overseas Enron operations?
And what happened is that Enron had a deal to build a power generation facility in India with the written understand that a subset (it's late and I don't want to look up the correct name) of the indian goverment would buy power from the plant.
They didn't and that caused the loses from Enron/India.
In Texas the people selling the stamp can not tell the LEO's about who they sell to for any reason, not that it would help because about the only people who buy the damn stamp are tax collectors.
No, it isn't. That number is as much BS as enron's books. It doesn't include food and energy (gas, natural gas, fuel oil, petro, or electricty) in its figures.
What has went up the most in the past 12-24 months? Food (Milk and anything made with milk) and Energy prices.
Funny how it excludes the products that almost everyone has to buy from its calculations, isn't it?

WTF has happened to
First, do not put words in my mouth. I never said that working that much was a good thing, now did I?
Second, Human history shows that people, as a groups, suck.
Perhaps you should read the GP platform before you say what is and isn't in it.
"Public funding for living wage jobs. "
http://www.gp.org/issues/issue2c.html
It wasn't under the plan that the Clintons came up with.
Do you support the banning of Guns?
Giving that the GP platform says " We do not place faith in paternalistic "big government." how do you explain all the additional goverment programs that would be required to impliment the rest of your platform?
,antipolution research and housing assistance isn't that the very definition of Big Goverment?
If you have the goverment paying for all education, all medical care, a min wage level, energy research
Do you also plan to ban sports?
http://www.gp.org/issues/index.html
And are your 'after school' and pre school programs mandatory? What if parents do not wish to have their kids in them, is that allowed?
Do you plan to force Home School and private schools to teach your diversity plan? IOW, to you plan to force religious schools to teach that other religions are just a good as the religion they believe in?

"We call for a graduated supplemental income (negative income tax) that would maintain all adult incomes above the poverty level. "
http://www.gp.org/issues/index.html
"Income tax policies that restrict the accumulation of excessive wealth."
That is from http://www.gp.org/issues/index.html
What dollar amount is excessive?
Since the green party platform calls for the banning of homophobia would you make it illegal for Christian preachers to preach on that topic? It has happend in Europ.
Does the green party platform still call for a Max wage that would tax at 100% any income over 10 times the min wage?
If it does not, do you support such a plan?

But you trust electronic voting machines? I think you are just posting to get people to click that link in your sig.
You can buy MiniDisks at ChinaMart, that is about as mainstream as you can get.
Or it could be the Clintons trying to clear the way for a run by Hillary in 2008.
See, I can make shit up too!!!!
Are line items for those items included? YES
Do they have any relation to reality? NO
The cost of Milk and Gas are up just a little more than what is listed on that table.
In the same what that all good economic news is his fault and all bad economic news isn't.
It depends on what side you are on and facts do not factor into it.
You forget that not every one can do the high tech work. You also forget that they can vote.
If it gets bad enought they will just vote them a much larger portion of your check.
