| _______________________________ [Oct 10,2008 9:51am - aril ""] number one hope for america would have to be a major increase in funding for the space program and the ability to advance the human race in science. it would also be cool if we could potentially clone neanderthals. talk about racism.. imagine having a whole seperate race of homonoids exisiting with us at the same time. i would ultimatelly like to take over the world with an army of cloned neanderthals, but I doubt that'd happen. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 10,2008 10:35am - aril ""] the funding for NASA could be much, much more. the projects in NASA are very expensive, but the funding is just a small fraction of what we could be doing. then again, the economy sucks right now. I think it's kind of cool that China is about to put a man on the moon. But then again, that's China. |

DEATH2ALL is so down to earth and in the know, always ready and willing to talk at great lengths about these times. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=10504 FEMA sources confirm coming martial law by Wayne Madsen Global Research, October 9, 2008 Wayne Madsen Report WMR has learned from knowledgeable Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sources that the Bush administration is putting the final touches on a plan that would see martial law declared in the United States with various scenarios anticipated as triggers. The triggers include a continuing economic collapse with massive social unrest, bank closures resulting in violence against financial institutions, and another fraudulent presidential election that would result in rioting in major cities and campuses around the country. In addition, Army Corps of Engineer sources report that the assignment of the 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team (BCT) to the Northern Command’s U.S. Army North is to augment FEMA and federal law enforcement in the imposition of traffic controls, crowd control, curfews, enhanced border and port security, and neighborhood patrols in the event a national emergency being declared. The BCT was assigned to duties in Iraq before being assigned to the Northern Command. On April 3, 2008, WMR reported on a highly-classified document regarding the martial law scenario: WMR has learned from knowledgeable sources within the US financial community that an alarming confidential and limited distribution document is circulating among senior members of Congress and their senior staff members that is warning of a bleak future for the United States if it does not quickly get its financial house in order. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is among those who have reportedly read the document. The document is being called the "C & R" document because it reportedly states that if the United States defaults on loans and debt underwriting from China, Japan, and Russia, all of which are propping up the United States government financially, and the United States unilaterally cancels the debts, America can expect a war that will have disastrous results for the United States and the world. "Conflict" is the "C word" in the document. The other scenario is that the federal government will be forced to drastically raise taxes in order to pay off debts to foreign countries to the point that the American people will react with a popular revolution against the government. "Revolution" is the document’s "R word. |

| _______________________________ [Oct 10,2008 12:44pm - Yeti ""] i feel the same way. everyone knows what nuclear war will do, and i think that if a nuke was going to be set off, it would have happened already. if the US declared martial law its silly to think that the American public would just bow down and take it. sure the scenario has been presented in movies, but if it actually came down to it, not many people would be taken down without a fight. |

Americans may be dumbasses, but we are different from anyone else in that regard. i just can't believe that any person living in America would just allow themselves to be policed in that manner. i know that a police state is pretty much what we live in, but its not violently forceful in the sense of martial law. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 10,2008 3:21pm - sacreligion ""] the reason why i say that is because americans would be told "it was for the good of the nation" and that it was "for our protection" etc. etc. etc. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 10,2008 3:23pm - Yeti ""] i definitely don't disagree with that, but even when told that, the dumbest of the dumb can see through it. sure there will be people that follow it, but how many people right now are pretty much on the verge of revolting because of how things are going, never mind if that arose. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 10,2008 3:28pm - sacreligion ""] i wish you could watch that mccain-palin mob thing at work ee gad. that's at least half of the population summed up, and they would not only allow martial law, they would pave the road towards it and give up their money to fund it. |

| __________________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 10:41am - Conservationist ""] The drug war is a giant failure. We have to admit that people are working against their government and it's causing a police state to easily rise. It makes more sense to decriminalize it in certain areas, and to require welfare recipients on drugs to go there. Natural selection takes care of the problem. I would argue that legalizing and taxing isn't the goal. The real goal is to get drugs as cheap as possible so that the people on drugs do not commit crimes to support their habits. If heroin cost them $2 a day, we could shovel them into hovels for $5 a day of total cost and let them smack out and die, with the 2% who always manage to kick coming back to reality. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 12:35pm - orgymf@work ""] this may be my first time disagreeing with you sir, but i do strongly believe that legalizing and taxing weed (as well prostitution) would be a huge help (economically). as far as welafre recipients....if you can afford drugs (be they legal, or illegal) then you do not need ANY support/assistance....no welfare, no food stamps, no free medical care. period. on the other hand, i suppose i can see you point about making hard drugs cheap so parasites die out |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 12:37pm - Conservationist ""] Legalization in many ways is government endorsement of the behavior. Decriminalization is saying KMAGYOYO: kiss my ass goodbye, you're on your own. Agreed on welfare. I'd replace the welfare state with job insurance. Cheap drugs, no age limit. If parents are going to be derelict, we don't want those genes in the population. Interesting that you bring up prostitution. I've always thought Europe had a sensible attitude toward it: legalize and regulate so diseases don't spread. |

| __________________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 12:46pm - Conservationist ""] The genius of the Confederacy was that it allowed different states to have different rules. So if one state wanted to decriminalize weed and legalize prostitution, another wouldn't have to. And because neither state is obligated to save the other if it goes bankrupt, we rapidly see which approach is more realistic. If you ask me, the threat to the dollar is a subtle one -- we no longer make much of anything here in the USA. Our agriculture and manufacturing sectors are minimal, but in entertainment and moving money around through paper finance, we're strong. But those industries are ephemeral, and so not a good basis for a long term plan. Diversified industry is best. We see it here in Houston -- when the energy firms take a dump, the city is a ruin for a decade, and otherwise, it's boomtown. |
