Think the question is about what the scope of government should be.
Almost everyone would agree that foreign policy / defense is a government prerogative.
Lots of people don’t think social security or healthcare should be, regardless of how many experts the government has.

“It’s part of the overall narcissistic, death-spiral of socialism: life is hard, being married is hard, raising kids is hard, paying for defense is hard, having ethics and morality is hard…. Gay marriage isn’t progressive; it’s regressive. I hope it fails.”
Married gay people participate in life. It’s hard.
Married gay people are married. It’s hard.
Married gay people raise children. It’s hard.
Married gay people are moral and ethical. It’s hard.
Is there a line item in the U.S. Budget to pay for Britain’s military?
Is gay marriage socialist?
Equal protection under that law is regressive? Would a return to a feudal lord system be considered progress in your little head?
This looks like a slugfest that I don’t have the energy to engage in at the moment. I would like to rest from my last few ennervating days as landed brownstone gentry but need to find someplace quiet since my stoop is now being drilled and is blasting out all thought.
Dave, so far so good though. It turns out as Minard observed in her/his comment, that the cracks were in concrete, not stone and as I might have gathered by the difference in “weathering”, the landing and second set of steps are “add-ons” and not part of the original stoop configuration. I think Millard has a handle on the whole thing though and I feel very relieved after my initial cardiac infarction.
The grains rally reminds me to check back into work.
Not to revisit the whole health care debate, my point was simply that the law is, in fact, a political solution, just not one you agree with or that had republican support. Yes, a price may be paid in 2010 and possibly 2012. That’s democracy.

rob likes to go where the (illegally) tax free Indian cigs are available.
I always liked William F. Buckley’s ties.
“I would rather be governed by the first 200 people in the Boston phone book than the faculty of Harvard.”
I can’t think of anything worse occurring.
