A tad early, however it gives me a few more hours to peruse. Good Night, And Good Luck! Cheers All!

Is the liberal party really "liberal"? What about the individual's right and freedom to the form of health care they choose? Can we all really be equal? Should we all have the exact same state provided diet as well? Should no one be allowed to purchase luxury foods? After all the right to eat...

Does the US Congress' funding for tactical nuke research makes a mockery of the US argument around the world that other countries should not test and otherwise should certainly not develop nuclear weapons? And what of the theory of pre-emption? Would other counties be justified in a pre-emptive...

Bush sure does sound presidential now. After his speech writers have a few weeks to get it all together and "the turd blossom machine" winds up the momentum like after 9/11, Bush looks like a president. Just don't ask for much action as things happen. ;) Here are a few highlights: "For shame...

"Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government," Mr. Bush said "And to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility." Well it is a start. He definitely sounds much more presidential. I am a critical cynic...

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-me-quake8sep08,0,3035306.story Will Cali. be next? Can we start the pre-game blame? Should the poor and everyone else have their own plan instead of only relying on the government? Can they be expected to do more than their daily struggle to provide? Is...

Reminders of the 1927 Mississippi Flood. "Over 13,000 refugees near Greenville, Mississippi were gathered from area farms and evacuated to the crest of an unbroken levee, and stranded there for days without food or clean water, while boats arrived to evacuate white women and children. Many...

All great stories are based on an underling conflict. Is the conflict in the story of mankind that of the struggle between the individual (individualism, the focus on self) and a "higher" authority (God, a despot, the state, an oligarchy, an ideal or collectivism)? Is there currenly a conflict...

As Cobra1 accurately corrected me, both in 1967 and in the Lebanon invasion, Israel attacked first preemptively. Now the only possible solution towards any possible peace is a two state solution with the creation of a sovereign Palestinian state. One that should be rebuild with aid from the...

Did anyone watch the Fifth Estate on CBC last night? http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/dickcheney/ (Yes Americanson the CBC is a pinko threat.) I then watched Turning Points on The History Channel, about the United Fruit Company's involvement in getting the CIA to oust Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954...

Behind Norway, Sweden and Australia. And ahead of The Netherlands, Belgium, Iceland and the United States. I know that this means nothing to people who only consider GDP and household income as gauges of quality of life.

I find it amusing that "some" here have claimed that the "old" Europe was soft on terror because "old" Europe did not rubber stamp, never mind assist, US actions in Iraq. They also said that Spain had rolled over to terrorist. Osama bin Laden has offered Europe a truce. And rightfully so...

Recent threads seem to have turned into slur slinging and outbursts of Tourettes rather than logical discussions (as this one surely will as well). I was wondering what perspective the majority here on TERB have, thus I posted this poll. What really is the use of these arguments? It might even...
