No kidding. My point is that the left is always critical of the
government when it's in their best interest, yet runs to hide behind
its skirt, when they feel the need for dependance.

Everyone feeds at the same nipple, Dave. Polluters love to complain about
government control until a willing puppet is elected and that puppet
appoints another puppet to run the EPA. When the puppet then relaxes
regulations on pollution, the industries involved fall all over the evil
government with campaign contributions. It's not a left-wing thing, Dave.
You know that.

You have nothing but speculation to support this point. You have no
first hand knowlege of what hand shaking, back slapping or "bribery" did
or did not occur, or the reasons behind them.



I am critical of things which deseve criticism. Too many people are
critical of things which they either do not understand, or are lacking
sufficient information to make an informed decision.

FWIW, I am a registered Republican, who happens to believe that
thought is more important than dogma. This country is FULL of
"me-too's", who are willing to believe whatever they are told by the
Party Line. Sheep. Nothing but sheep. Both parties.

Most of them are standing in line right now to throw rocks at GWB, over
something they are ill-informed about.

Many are standing in line right now to spout theories about religions and
cultures which are relatively new to this country.

Such as?

I suspect your ancestors,
who were native Americans, didn't have to put up with such nonsense. They
were natives, right? They must be. You speak as if you belong here and
others don't.

Where did you come up with that one? Never mind, I'm sure you have a
very active immagination.
