I think the really important distinction to make here is that Obama's plan DOES sound reasonable. However, consider that this is the plan for the purpose of getting elected. In order to actually enact such a plan, congress would have to do it, and that means getting Nancy Pelosi and Harry Ried on bo...

I'm a \"just under 50\" guy, and from the perspective of most in the middle-class, I have a pretty good income. My retirement accounts aren't huge for someone my age, but aren't (weren't) too bad either. By most standards, they would also be considered pretty well diversified and well mana...

The democrat party has never wanted success in Iraq, they bet their future on it being a big quagmire and of course Obama wants the troops to stay until he can bring them home.

And the neighbor's dog, who was just as deserving, died of starvation. That statement says a lot. NONE of us are "deserving", not you, not me, not the neighbor's dog, and that's the TRUTH. Blaming God, or trying to explain away His non-existance based on what He SHOULD do because of those...

... a widescreen monitor of the same diagonal is not wider than a fullscreen monitor, it is simply less tall. That part's not correct. As a diagonal gets more horizonal, the width goes up. Conversely, the width goes down as the diagonal gets more vertical. Area is maximized at the 45 degree point. ...

That looks like a good price for that monitor, but if it was me, I'd spend a little more and get a better one. Check out the LG W2252TQ.

The important thing here is that the 300 bil was by private citizens. Exactly. It seems like the point trying to be made in the OP is that the US is using too much of its revenue on foreign aid.

This isn't a Catholic vs. Protestant debate either, guys. Try and stay on-topic? Sorry to degrade further... not my intent.

I have no interest in arguing your \"points\", but it seems as though you missed mine. The main point is that skirting the ethical question entirely should allow SC research to go forward full-speed, likely with federal support and funding. It gets us past the impasse, and what WERE two op...
