It's not for me but they like it that way. It has worked well for them and as long as the poulace agrees to it's "extremity" they are in good shape.

We don't quite know where we are going in the future. There is far less consensus here than in Scandinavia and living next door to a kooky dragon skews our vision of where we want to go as a nation.

And this would gain us what? Finland was never in NATO. Canada is. Even if it would somehow benefit us to be neutral (which I see none) leaving NATO would have its consequences. And we can forge whatever trade agreements with EU and others with or without NATO.

You have several times in various forms. Regulating it to death and a whole bunch of other stupid ideas which I fortunately haven't wasted any memory cells on their specifics. I would assume you have remembered them since you posted them.

I think if you listen back to the press briefing Trump misunderstood the question and thought it was about collusion and answered it that way Putin even started answering to collusion.

I've certainly never accused Spanky of being intelligent, but he didn't misunderstand or misspeak. He was following the script as written.

YIKES! Socialist that support a school voucher program to private schools! That's not socialism at all. Our Socialists do their very best to squash the school voucher programs. Private schools are competitors to Public Schools. The government is unable to set the curriculum in private schools. School vouchers take money from public schools and the Teacher's Union and Public School Systems are vehemently opposed to that.

That's why I am talking to you.


Seriously though... anyone who claims that every government sponsored program and every road built was because of socialism is being foolish.

I surely did. Which fed into an electoral system which gave all of Maryland's votes to Clinton.

I used to think you understood that, but now I'm beginning to wonder.

Well shoot for that matter I did the same thing. My vote fed into an electoral system which gave all of Massachusetts's votes to Clinton.

GTFO of here... that was so lame.

See? We can both cast votes for whatever we feel like, secure in the knowledge it will make no difference.

Heck, I just voted for BradChel Manning for Congress.

Green Party, eh?

Provincial and Federal combined, NDP, Green, Progressive Conservative, and Libertarian at different times. Since I vote for the candidate and not the party, I tend to vote all over the place when it comes to the party. I have never voted strategically and I never will. Even if I know the person won't win, if I think he's the best candidate, he's the one I'll vote for.
