Basically we don't know. But it occurs to me that if I wanted to ensure that those in power lost making it apear that they would do such an extrem thing would be very effective for campaining. If somebody wanted him dead wouldn't he more than likely be dead rather than just severely weakened.

But hey it could be the government the fact is I just want to be open to all possiblities until I see something conclusive.

I kind of think absitance only education might be a bit too much wishful thinking. I would like to see it stressed but I would also like to see a solution that is actually useful in the real world. No knowledge of alternatives=pregnant teens=abortion=dead babies.

Shouldn't it be determined who exactly poisened him before jumping to actions that will have severe consequences. For all we know his own people are poisining him just to make his opponet look bad.

The current climate (and I'm talking about the past 50 years in American politics) breeds compromise, but wouldn't a strong third party also further cooperative efforts?

No a third party would split up people of the same ideoligies so the other side would win every time.

Third parties also play an important role in our current system because they bring new issues to the table.
And the more powerful parties scramble to make them non-issues if it doesn't suit their interests.

Didn't Perot run on balancing the budget? It did get balanced.

Although a third party can never win they can be quite a spoiler which is extremely powerful.
But it does no good. No one wants to feel like they wasted their vote.

It sends a clear message and I guarantee that someone would change something to get you back in the next election.

If a party sees a good number of their base drifting twoards a third party because of one issue then they will usually pick up that issue and make it a key part of their platform.
And who is more suited to taking on the issue? The party who wanted to push it through? Or would it be the one who added it to the platform in an attempt to keep the flock together? Is it better to follow the leader who alligned to you, or the one who alligns himself to keep you close by?

Who is better for the country, a party that is centralized around a single issue or many?

Well my computer finally got around to crashing so I spent 2 hours reloading it. I've been too lazy to reload my virus software and firewall and I've noticed my computer is running a lot faster. Maybe I'll just leave them off until after break. Can viruses cause any damage that formatting the hardrive can't fix?

Response to: Do we really need Reps and Dems? Posted December 11th, 2004 in Politics

Having two strong parties means that a lot of compromise is forced. The republicans are in control of both houses and the presidency but it is obvious that they are not getting to do everything they would like to do. I like the way the nation is split now because being so evenly divided between two parties means that neither can become two powerful because in the next election it would only take a few to swing it away.

Third parties also play an important role in our current system because they bring new issues to the table. Although a third party can never win they can be quite a spoiler which is extremely powerful. If a party sees a good number of their base drifting twoards a third party because of one issue then they will usually pick up that issue and make it a key part of their platform. In this way even though third parties don't win they still play a large role in deciding what happens.

Fortunately the autosave thingy saved most of it. Since I'm approaching a catastrpophic system failure I decided to email it to myself so I can open it in a computer lab just in case.

Add an sincere apology to Wade for all of the belittling comments you have made in this thread and I may consider making you a bear suit, even though you are a little liar. First alt accounts then pictures, what else are you fibbing about?

You know Venom, you spend a great deal of time attacking people for things they do that annoy you, would you like to hear my opinion of you? I really do think you're an idiot. You are such a self-righteous little prick with no grasp on reality. You never consider that you might be wrong about something because hell, that would throw off the balance of the universe. Whenever it comes to a disagreement you always stoop to petty bickering about meaningless points and accomplish nothing more than pissing off the person who you have decided to be pissed off at for the moment. Then when that person has the nerve to challenge your assessment of them you whine like a little bitch taken completely aback because some ignorant person was so dumb not to grasp the absolute truth that oozes from your every pore.

Yes indeed if somebody doesn't reach the same conclusion you do then they are obviously stupid and should be chastised. I'll let you in on a little secret, everyone is an asshole when you piss them off. I have seen you attack Wade on four different occassions for baseless whiny reasons. And each time when he attacked you right back you came away calling him mean for starting something with you. That's right Venom, it's always the other guys fault.

Now you have Avie and Shrike, two of the most respected regs, trying to explain to you where you went wrong. Instead of listening to what they have to say and evaluating your own posisition from a different perspective you simply start attacking them because they disagreed with you thus they must be wrong. Maybe you should go see that shrink of yours about some more pills because I don't think the current ones are working.

It may be sucking up but I don't give a shit, I deeply appreciate all of the work the NG admins do to provide me with free entertainment for hours on end each day. If you don't like the people that run this place then why spend so much time here?

Wade is a kick ass bear.
