I blame the militants gays for the rise of the religious right. They pushed for "gay marriage" too hard instead of equality under the law. Now they have neither and we are stuck with some religious folks with a retrograde ideology. I think this is just one of the causes...especially on the socal side. Another cause would be the rise of radical islam....so to balance out the equation some of the christians got more radical. There are many pressures facing religions in the modern world and I think we all need to be more supportive.
I have to disagree...we are not obsessed with personal wealth. We are obsessed with fear.
Fear of global warming Fear of terrorism Fear that eating popcorn would cause cancer Fear that smoking outdoors will give chipmunks asthma Fear that our cubicles are not ergonomically sound Fear that the chinese, indians, mexicans will steal our jobs
People in the 50's 60's didn't have these fears. They where the people who survied WWII and thought if I can live through that I can do anything.
The fact is we could do anything we wanted if we stopped listening to the doomsayer of the momemnt and just decided to do it.
Thats all you got....they where founded by the Moonies?
I took the time to read the wikipedia link and it said that the Op/Ed section was heavily influenced by the Moonies and the unification movement. Lets say I buy that for a minute. The article I reference was not an Op/Ed piece. In fact I only pulled quotes by Fred Rustmann a source used in the article. So I would say that the Moonie factor in my posting is really low. Wait....maybe the Moonies got to Rustmann too...what a diabolical plot...where does it end.
Thats the rub isn't. Since she was no longer a covert agent the law in question doesn't apply. It strictly relates to ongoing classified operations an agents supporting them. As far as we know Rove just said Wilsons wife worked at the CIA. He did not reveal in what capacity she worked.
Now if you don't like Rove or he administration you must deal with the facts at hand...and no one has been able to dispute Roves comments. There has been a lot of conjecture but no facts. If he is guilty of treason or the things the Dems are claiming he should be prosecuted. But, the shifting accusations tell me there is nothing there.
The real question is who was Judith Millers source. It was obviously not Rove as he released her from her confidentiality requirements regarding him as a source.
It's not all that amazing. According to Larry Johnson as mentioned by another poster. Plame was at the CIA in cladestine operations in 1985. Since Fred Rustmann was in clandestine services during that time period it's possible that he would have knowledge of her career.
Lets see. Wilson said his wife wasn't undercover when the story was released. Larry Johnson says he attended a special CIA training program with Plame in 1985 and that he did not know what she did after that meeting in 1985....20 years ago. Isn't it possible that sometime during that 20 year period where Larry has no idea what Plame was up to her status had changed? I doubt the expected career lifespan of and undercover field operative is 20 years in the field.
Also, you may want to consider using less partisan sources. I think Democracy Now!s viewpoint is a bit slanted.
Actually, the reason Rove hasn't done anything illegal is because Plame was not a clandestine agent when her name was revealed. In fact she hadn't been a covert agent for several years before her name was revealed. Also, Plame was never a deep cover NOC.
From a Washington Times Article: "A former CIA covert agent who supervised Mrs. Plame early in her career yesterday took issue with her identification as an "undercover agent," saying that she worked for more than five years at the agency's headquarters in Langley and that most of her neighbors and friends knew that she was a CIA employee.
"She made no bones about the fact that she was an agency employee and her husband was a diplomat," Fred Rustmann, a covert agent from 1966 to 1990, told The Washington Times."
environmental conservation won't solve this problem. The planet has been going through environmental fluctuations for millions of years. Some will be moderated some will be extreme. Counting on reduction of green house gases to solve this problem are short sighted at best.
Send postcards....it's worked for a long time. Or....develop on one time pad to use before they leave to communicate how Aunt Bebe's bunions are doing.
I beleive Debt of Honor was about about Japanese radicals crashing an airplane into the senate. Sum of All Fears was about islamic radicals nuking a stadium. (If I recall correctly)

They are taking over the world. They plan on taking over the world by not taking over the world. "Hey, Google is nice....they aren't taking over the world" Then before you know it you page ranking what to eat, who your friends are, what car to buy, where to live, where to work.
Then whammo you can't live without Google telling you what to do in nice little browser friendly bites.
Usually an NDAs real purpose is preventing you from telling the world that the company you are working for is really screwed up. It prevents customers from finding out now what they will find out after they pay for the product.
I am writing a movie caller The Phisher King. It's about a guy who was scammed out of all his money by a internet conman and goes crazy. He meets up with a slick internet conman on the street and through a bond of guilt/friendship reforms the evil con artist. It's gonna be a tearjerker.

Yes, we export dollars all over the world...it's our biggest export. The nice thing about dollars is they can really only be spent here.
I have to disagree...we are not obsessed with personal wealth. We are obsessed with fear.

I used to say I fix problems for a living. Now I say I resolve issues and I bill twice as much.
First muscle cars, then SUVs, now roach coaches....the poor planet
Great idea....I have no mod points because someone stole my identity.

is going to tell you that you you didn't get the job because of mods or tats...they just say they found someone more qualified.
In the book I think it was Denver. Been awhile since I read it though.
