craig c. wrote i dont know about you stephen but i sure as dont want the cleaness of the air i breathe and water i drink or fish in to be determined by the highest bidder. were capable of doing better with minimal costs. i dont either. but from what ive read commodifying pollution emissions helps offset economic pressures to pollute by giving a true economic value to policies contributing to environmental cleanliness. add supply and demand pressures and you end up with real economic winners and losers over most beneficial environmental policy. guess well just have to wait and see how it goes but it does seem to be catching on though. smh .

a couple of days ago there was talk about how we should or shouldnt be in iraq. anyway somebody and i i apologize cause i dont remember who were going back and forth about the amount of deaths that was visited upon the civilians by saddam. as to why we should stop him. i was watching discovery about two nuns who were put on trial for crimes against humanity in belgium for their actions in rwanda. a few things jumped out. evidence showed that the catholic church tried to derail the whole trial. but heres the part that got me that makes saddam a rank rookie when it came to mass murder. this was one tribe against another ethnic cleansing in the fast lane. in a period of 90 days over 1 million members of the tutsi were killed. documentation showed that in one 8 hour period over 65000 were killed. bear in mind that most of this was done mostly with machetes not machine guns. that is unbelievable. i read some years ago that there was a war going on but wasnt aware of this. im friggn well amazed at the numbers! these figures are crazy. no outside action by the un by the us nobody. actually the un pulled out then after a period of time talked about going back. this im sure doesnt matter in our discussions but the figures just blew me away. roy .

budd ill ask once and only once. its been asked before so dont worry about it. is it really beyond your ability to stay out of arguments i mean shoot youve been posting again for what a week and already you tbone and roy are into it err so to speak. all i have to do is express an opinion belief or attitude not in accordance to their rules and it starts. ah yes they started it. but do you have to finish it i guess it is impossible for them to let me be different. seriously dude if they annoy you like you say or they attack as you so im not going to get into the debate about what i see going on with anyone then why do you engage them in these arguments why not turn the other cheek why is it the christian always has to back off turn the other cheek hide in the corner and not say anything that rocks the liberal atheistic socialist leaky boat in this respect i have to be honest with you you sound just like them. my sincere hope is that you will seriously think about it. i have. and what you see is the result of that thought process prayers bible study more prayers discussions with my pastor retired marine chaplain and my irish welsh scottish english cherokee ancestry. i too am from scottish irish and indian decent. i know full well what temper comes with the blood line. again i ask you why does the christian have to back down all the time that is being discriminatory. my words opinions beliefs and attitudes are of no more nor no less value that theirs. i am not more valuable nor less valuable in my opinion than they are to society. hmmm im not saying you have to back down all the time or that the christian should always back down. but we too have had the discussion about foolish and fruitless arguements and what the bible has to say about them. chris the question you asked isnt worded fairly. it puts the entire responsibility on me instead of all involved in the discussion. why didnt you ask why they dont back down or keep their mouth shut or . . . . afterall they are as responsible for the arguments as i am. i worded it like i did as one christian to another. roy nor tbone for example bring their religious beliefs front and center as you do. i wish you a happy and succesful new year. same to you may you find peace this year. and may your walk with the christ be a fruitful one. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. budd -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

well i may be in error but i dont believe so. the history is just that history the fact of the day is we do not have the miliary forces we need to finish the job. why is that personally i place the blame on citizens to lazy too busy or whatever to go vote. as for political/religious attitudes well lets just agree that we disagree and will probably never agree. as for me personally wysiwyg. accept or killfile i dont give a darn. if you dont like that attitude remember i didnt have it for a long time until i started getting flack for being honest and open about what i believe my opinions and my attitudes. and who was it that gave me the flack look in a mirror. budd why didnt clinton act upon that evidence why did he continue top weaken our armed forces i believe the evidence proves thet clinton did act on the evidence he had. however he admits they failed to capitalize on the opportunities. ok which will it be administration or congress next you should be aware that base closings have nothing to do with the size of our military in terms of troop strength. really where you gonna stack up all those soldiers and sailors for storage for training what about their equipment ships come on scott youre being dumber than t-bone about this. and you are completely skirting the issue. you claimed there was a liberal congess throughout the 90s but thats just not so. base closings are used to consolodate and economizeuse of equipment not to cut troops. fact is the bases in pa were national guard bases not regular army as such consolodation made sense. except for the civilian jobs. what party was in charge of the congress during that time period republican. how many of those congressmen were on that committee and or had influence on it come on scott youre slipping. the majority held the majority. slipping yeah slipping into a laughing fit while you deny historical record. if they were the majority how would they need to get the majority back sorry budd you are making no sense here. i am but youre not reading it right congress has democrat leadership congress loses democrat leadership democrats lie cheat steal etc. to get leadership back. congress hasnt had democratic leadership since before the time period that you are claiming liberals were running the joint. thats why you arent making sense. as to the lies... well both sides are guilty of that. point here is this you are as guilty of being blinded by partisan ideals as anyone. its the liberal way scott. no its not. its the political way. pompous are we now shove it. its hard to be anything less than pompous when you are suggesting that a republican led congress over the past 12-14 years is somehow liberal. its clear you just dont have a grasp of facts when putting together your comments on this subject. i assure you if you check the history books youll find that the liberal congress of which you speak does not exist. thus this is one of them. ok whatever. im beginning to see things about you that i find distressing. i reply in kind. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .
