We have regulated industry so much it is moving out of the country. If you want nuke plants here, overcome the enviroweenies' regs. You are preaching to the choir.

[Willie Green]

You are preaching to the choir.

The so-called "choir" is in desperate need of one helluva stern hellfire-and-brimstone lecture.
The myopic lemmings merely give rubberstamp approval to a pseudo-conservative Administration that's hellbent on plundering America rather than represent our longterm national interests.

[RightWhale]

There is no coherent alternative. Even Nader is a child of the system. Kerry is a frat brother of Bush, they may express opposite opinions, but their support comes from the same people. The system is like Steve McQueen's Blob: it absorbs all opposition into its structure. There is no 'outside.'

[Willie Green]

There is no 'outside.'

Sure there is.
I'm on the "outside" and dam* proud of it.
I've been listening to this two-party finger-pointing rhetoric on this issue for over 30 years, and I'm not gonna swallow it anymore. When it comes right down to it, those idiots are public SERVENTS, and I, as a citizen, am sovereign. I have no problems with dispensing with partisan politics an moonin' any candidate who doesn't fulfill their obligation to represent our national interests. If they can't do the job they were elected to do, then fire them and give somebody else a chance. Period.

[RightWhale]

Dissent is part of the corporate body. There is no outside, the corporation includes all, even or especially rebels.

[Willie Green]

There is no outside, the corporation includes all, even or especially rebels.

Yeah, yeah... whatever...
The pathetic idiots still aren't gonna get my vote...
That's the only real power that I have within "the system" and
I will NEVER again use it to reward "the lesser of two evils".
I've been down that road way too many times before.
It leads nowhere.

[Tribune7]

No, it's a good idea. We get revenue and hone our industry skills until we come to our senses and start building the things here again.

The Chinese know how to make bombs. This isn't going to make them more dangerous.

[RightWhale]

Yeah, sure. Your vote is counted, probably; your candidate is recognized by the system. Your soapbox is allowed by the corporation; a few million see your comments every day. Your use of the system perpetuates the system itself. Act outside the system if you can figure out a way to effectively do so, although the system will quickly adjust to incorporate you once more.

[JesseHousman]

This is very stupid idea. Nuclear technology to China?

Yeah. Who but Billy-Goat-Jeffy Clinton would have conceived of such a hair-brained and dangerous idea?

Christians believe in a hereafter in heaven while socialist-commies believe they'll get a better deal in hell.

[Willie Green]

Act outside the system if you can figure out a way to effectively do so,

Well ol' Willie Green is firmly dedicated to being a peaceful, law-abiding citizen...
but as long as I'm permitted to peacefully rant and rave my 2¢ on issues, I'll continue to do so no matter what others may think. I'm just gettin' too old and set in my ways to worry about crap like peer pressure. I find that I sleep much better at night if I just do my own thing.

”This above all: to thine ownself be true,
 And it must follow, as the night the day,
 Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

~ William Shakespeare (Hamlet)
