    Romney gives economic speech in empty stadium - the media at work

    The argument pertains to the adage in the business community that a corporation should have legal status as an individual person. Not in reference to a group of people, it's employees, board of directors or anything of the sort. What's wrong or unfair with the notion is that a corporation seeks...

    Romney gives economic speech in empty stadium - the media at work

    The main problem I have with politics-as-usual is either party will say or do anything to get elected. But once locked into office, scarcely delivers on their sales ad that wins the commitment from the public. There are a host of related problems with the structure of our representative...

    Romney gives economic speech in empty stadium - the media at work

    Sure, the entire statement he makes appears to balance out the context of what he's saying. But the larger point is more often Romney flubs the wording he uses as soon as he's forced to be spontaneous or get off his rehearsed script. The shallow tactics and more image driven political theatre...

    Romney gives economic speech in empty stadium - the media at work

    Now that's perfect. He's got the look, the voice and the hair for Truth Or Consequences. American politics is more like a Game Show anyway.

    Romney gives economic speech in empty stadium - the media at work

    Indeed, both sides of the media spectrum are guilty of the same catering to a particular political bias. They've got something to sell and will provide the spin angle their audience wants to hear. More than just entertainment over facts, an already deeply divided populace wants to see and hear...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    Not overly idealist at all, you're exactly right. When America was in what's today considered it's glory years with a strong middle class (when most people actually wanted to be middle class instead of ahead of the pack and above the fray) most Americans recognized that in daily practice...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    It isn't 'Economic Rocket Science' to figure out. There is a vast and irresolvable chasm of conflicting interest between diverse elements of our socioeconomic model among those on both sides of the equation (Business vs wage workers) who seek any way possible to receive more and more quality...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    A major problem is many skilled and physically demanding labor jobs have been relegated to that of low wage third world menial task positions that a monkey could do for peanuts in the American psyche. The successful and desired living wage focus is on high tech innovation and grad school...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    Note, the following is purely conservative role playing mocked sarcasm "What? You lazy good for nothing 99% OWS bums and drug addicts could find a job if you really went out and tried actually working somewhere instead of whining about your circumstances. Why, there's plenty of jobs available...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    Why is it that any decent sort of Presidential contender who might actually do some good if given the chance never seems to garner more than the high teens percentile at the polls? Ron Paul has all these die hard and impassioned followers, who's sort of like Ross Perot that neither party likes...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    Not to stray from the subject of this thread, I too agree that with any luck Santorum will win the nomination, Romney will fall flat and Newtonian Gingrich Physics will suffer a meltdown. Of course up next to Obama, unless something runs astray with his latest upticking approval rating before...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    I think you misunderstood what I said in my posts overall. I have no such disdain for the poor. I was pointing out and making a mockery of the typical shortsighted conservative view about poverty in America. And though I appear to specifically refer to Christianity and the Bible, if you read...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    "And so when you see the abomination that causes desolation standing [where it ought not*], know it is at the doors." Daniel/Jesus * We The People living in the land of the free and home of the brave, with liberty and justice for all. The first and last nation on earth established upon...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    And so it is. Liberty and justice for all has come to be perceived as essentially a government subsidized Socialist entitlement program for the unentitled. That in the land of supposed equal opportunity the only reason the poor are poor is because they're incompetent and lazy underachievers who...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    Just think. When it comes to any argument about taxes, only rougly half the populace can stake claim to what happens to all the taxes from everyone. When by all rights they should only be able to stake claim to their own half of the total tax revenue in the US. Indeed, united we stand and...

    With Any Luck, Santorum Will Win the Nomination

    You touch on something here that has been a long evolving and overlooked fault with democracy and politics-as-ususal in this (and any) country. In any general election there's never more than roughly a 60/40 split to determine who will be Commander In Chief. Most often barely more than half our...

    What is the greatest illusion?

    The now flows into the next fluid moment. Eternity is this fluid moment. And tommorow never arrives. Hence there is an actual reality, and then the, "reality" we perceive. We've all only known and experienced the later. So in this sense our life perception is only an evolving illusion. More than...

    Greetings Earthlings

    Thank you. BTW, one of the most accurate and unbiased accounts I've read on the origins of Islam was written by a former Catholic nun, Karen Armstrong titled: "Muhammad, A Biography of The Prophet" (1992) Harper Collins/Harper San Francisco

    Greetings Earthlings

    Have been cruising this board off and on for a few weeks and thought I should make a more formal intro. I'm a former atheist who at the ripe age of 42 had a profound spiritual experience alone in my own home in the fall of 1999 that left me awestruck and overwhelmed beyond description and that...

    My Idea For A New Religion

    "...Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven." WE THE LORD "We The People" With liberty and justice for all! It's inevitable and unavoidable. Faith or no faith. But before the concept can spread over the entire earth as a single united sovereign, functional time for...
