OK, two comments.

 

Kenke; I call bullshit on your "Fighting Soldiers from the Sky" post. Those two marines who regrettably died in this mess of a war did absolutely nothing to secure anyone's right to protest. Al Qaeda, the Iraqis...none of the folks we've been fighting have threatened that right at all. The only REAL threat to that right has been our own government. You're disingenuously yanking the "patriotic" chain for effect, and you know it.

 

Second: in an age where central (federal) control has fucked our country up the ass in so many ways, property taxes represent the most significant local form of revenue generation, and therefore local political control. I'm all for local control these days.

hehe, maybe this whole Iraq mess HAS done some unexpected good... to make the cc.commies re-think the federal deity they created

 

This just in: "socially liberal" does not equal "in love with police state". And last time I checked, the federal government has been around just a little longer than CC.

Now there are a few hundred kids who walked out of school and are outside the capitol. There is another anti war thing tomorrow. Meanwhile the comments people are posting on related news reports on the Olympian website are calling for blood of those who don't support the war. It's scary how much everyone hates each other in this country.

If there's one thing we should all know by now living in America, it's that money=power. Those who perpetually advocate bigger government in terms of money should be prepared to accept the terms of power that go with it. I just said "cc.commie" because it sounds funny.
