    BEcause they usually follow Democratic presidents ;) it takes awhile to clean up their mess.

    Seriously I will have to look it up later but I wonder what the corrospondence is with house leadership to the stock market as they have much more to do with the stock market than the president does..

    Actually its quite easy to keep a robotic probe from having bacteria, beyond the vaccume, and radiation you can use heat is excessive amounts can be used. The issue with Apollo was the fact pesky little organic creatures called *MAN* were brought around who had bacteria in them..

    These men had to breath in the same environment with their suits thus contaminating the outside which would have contact with the moons surface..

    Thats why there is a huge backlash in the us against the UN:

    1) They are a do nothing body
    2) They believe they have autority in intanational policies
    3) They are an extreem leftest organization which americans in the middle and right cant stand (UN population growth initiative)
    4) They create treaties that are really slanted against the US (kyoto)
    5) They put Syria on the human right commision!

    This is just a glaring example of how "strategic interest" governs US policy, not any ethical or moral principles.

    lol I love moronic statements like (they wont go into Korea because there is no oil...)

    Lets examine the differences...

    1) Close Allies: (Iraq) Saudi A, Kuaitt; (Korea) Russia, S. Korea, Japan.
    2) Risk to Allies if us attacks: (Iraq) Low, (Korea) High.
    3) Destabiliztion Risk: (Iraq) Low as Iran, SaudiA, Kuaitt, and Turkey were not close friends of Iraq only one neighbor Syria was a serios risk; (Korea) HIGH! China could become involved (as they did in the Korean War), and the conflict could spread into a Taiwan/China conflict.

    As Oil if a fungable commodity if the US wanted cheap oil they could have voted with France to releasse sancations it would have cost a lot less money and driven down the cost of oil far quicker.

    The 35 hours is an averge including the 9+ weeks a year they get off, and is beased on a 45hour work week while they are working.

    Many teachers use the same lesson plans year after year (if you teach math does it really change) they use their 5 hours a week planning time to make slight adjustments.

    Umm this is just wrong...

    Teachers on average get 9 weeks a year off (this is no counting vacation or sick time, this is the summer, a week and a half around Christmas, a Week around Easter, and MLK/Pres/....) All told on a yearly average teachers work about 34 hours a week (assuming during the standard week they work 45 hours). During their workweek they are given an hour paid lunch, and (in most states) a period (45 minutes or an hour) to do paperwork. In many states classes of the younger grades are given (or share with another class) a teaching assist to keep the kiddies in order.

    A good CS program will focus much more on the actual science and less on the application. A good engineering program will focus much more on the process and application than the science.

    Like Chem and ChemE, a computer scientist is hired to solve problems and an Engineer is to find real world applications using those solution..

    This was a crap article, typical tin foil hat garbage.

    Well I will agree that neither of us is evil but as a whole Republicans and Democrats have a very different view on what the *federal* government should do. For example it should have nothing to do with education, and marriage.

    I less Identify myself as a Republican than as a Conservative and while that leads me to vote republican more often than democrat the policies of bush cause me to vote third party usually (during the state of the union I heard ka-ching every time he said something that I know will mean federal dollars.

    What gets me is the hatred of the person that the left has, I did not hate Bill Clinton I hated his policies and that never translated into "I hope he dies" or painted my view of what he did do right. Bush says he wants the US to go to the moon and mars and people here rant about him when in their heart they like the idea.

    And here we have SCO in the lobby and everyone hits bush when DRM$ money went to Fritz Hoillings..
