Did anyone see the Dubyah impersonator on Fox Thursday? Q. Osama Bin Laden has said some pretty bad things about you...calling you a murderer. What do you have to say to him? A. Osama, whatever you say is just like glue....bounces off me and sticks to you.
I would vote for any candidate who has a responsible, sound policy when it comes to addressing terrorism. I will NOT vote for Bush that is for sure. However, regarding Kerry, do we really need a guy in office whose wife keeps his nuts twisted *ouch* by her wealth? How did this moron get to be a senator in the first place? gsr
Washington's Farewell Address use to be required reading in the monopoly known as the public educational system. Is it any wonder most are ignorant when it comes to politics? http://wilstar.com/holidays/farewell.htm
Man, is that thing long......and verbose. I guess people had nothing better to do back then..... Let's see... no radio, no TV, no A/C.....but HEAVY clothing.
i've gotta say that the poll results so far are very sad. if bush does get re-elected, i will be very scared of another attack...i think it's been outlined pretty clearly by former administration members that this administration has no fuckin clue about how to run this country or protect it from terorrists... if bush does lose, it wouldn't surprise me if cheney decides to declare a state of emergency and refuse to leave the white house...
Nah, the attack will come like it did with Spain a day or two prior to the election. That is the terrorists' whole mission now, to control the mass (voters) consciousness. So... you have nothing to fear regarding Bush getting re-elected - just try to survive being blown up at the poles. Sam
European countries are mostly based on social-democracy, which I guess is a little bit like the more collectivist democrats in the US. Taxes are normally high, because of mostly free social services. However, some countries are quite ok with respect to taxes as well. The channel islands like Guernsey, Isle of Man and not to forget Gibraltar (although maybe a bit of a hotspot after the Madrid bombings). There is also an old platform off the coast of Holland towards the UK inhabited by a "separatist" soul - if he's still there (old Wired story). Other than that, there are the usual suspects like Andorra, Lichteinstein, Monaco, Luxembourg and even Portugal in europe. If you could travel farther, Korea is the best OECD country - tax-wise (in europe it's Portugal). For 0 (zero) taxes consider places like Anguilla (really nice - you can see the jet-setting St.Martin/Maarten, lotsa yachts with helicopter decks - check out http://www.ai - also the place for the rather mysterious Financial Cryptography conventions) , UAE - albeit maybe you will consider it rather risky for the time being, Burmei - and I'm sure there are some more out there - but I can't seem to be able to remember them right now. The channel islands require quite a hefty yearly income and assets to be eligible. If I remember correctly, even Elton John had to do some waiting. I used to research these things earlier, and consider all the opportunities - Anguilla always seemed the best of all. The food on St. Martin is absolutely delishous with it's french-caribbean cousine. St. Barths is also nearby, and a jetset hotspot. Martinique is a bit farther, but quite impressive. Barbuda - I remember the USD 100 breakfasts in the clubs - per person, mind you. Some nice sailing around those islands. Rather flat on Barbuda, though. Vince Cate on Anguilla - had to go to the Bahamas to denounce his US citizenship, after he bought a citizenship in an african country for around USD 100 - check out the story in Forbes Magazine (gotta pay for the article nowadays - but check the newspages of http://online.offshore.ai/publicity/). That's how he escaped all US taxes - and any other taxes (consumption based tax system - http://siliconisle.com/taxes.html ) for that matter. Here in Brazil - taxes seems to be a sorry venue. Of (Grande) Sao Paulo's 24 million - only 2 million are considered "economically active" and contributing to taxes, but given the extremely high crime rates, corruption and that it's rather underdeveloped in the luxury goods department - it's not really paradise. 60% import taxes for consumer imports make sure you won't take advantage of any real buying power. Otherwise, rather communist-standard conversion and transfer regulations of capital makes it a sad story - along with the danger of actually flaunting any money. I guess around 80-90% of all the Jeep Grand Cherokee's here are fitted as level 3 bulletproof - I know some are level 5 bomb-resistant (not bomb-proof ). Level 3 adds around 100 lb to your car, I opted out on my Cherokee Overland, but I do have all kinds of alarms.
It is precisely this attitude that keeps us imprisoned in a two party system of idiots. The Democrats tell their people not to vote for libertarian or your throwing your vote away and the republicans will win. The Republicans tell their people not to vote for libertarians or your throwing your vote away and the democrats will win. Both parties have their mindless followers, who wish for a BETTER candidate, completely brainwashed using fear tactics. DAMN IT! Show some spine and vote your consciences for once!
