Country to move to

Posted By David Cotterell

Recent events brought this to mind: Of course a huge "IF" is involved. A thought experiment let's say.

What country on Earth, past or present, might one move to if one wanted to have: minimal government, unencumbered and un regulated free enterprise, as little socialistic policy as possible (no labour unions, work for welfare, low minimum wage, low taxes etc.), an overall morality/ethos/modus operandi that is firmly rooted in religious thought, strictly and severely limited immigration and so on and so forth?

Is there such a place? WAS there such a place? Would any of the august denizens of this forum fantasize, at least, about such a country????

AGW science confirmed

Hey, deniers! You are the dupes and pawns of big oil lobbyists and politicians with an agenda powered by an entrenched relationship with big oil. They have spread the snake oil of lies and misinformation and you've lapped it up like you are UFO folks who "want to believe." The science is there, plain for all to see, from all over the world over the past quarter century, from universities, government research centers and private institutions. 12 000 peer reviewed, published articles from over 20 000 authors who actually have degrees in atmospheric physics over a 20-year period.....

It's not even a grey area - you are completely and utterly wrong. People have been, continue to be and will be the major contributors to global climate change. And things will not get prettier as China and India increase their movement toward a consumer economy.

Our only saving grace is that the planet will eventually run out of fossil fuels in a few hundred years. The final solution to AGW.....

DOMA is gone.

Posted By David Cotterell

Supreme court rules DOMA unconstitutional today.

About time.

Next you need a clear law that gives every American citizen the vote without 'literacy tests' or other nonsense restrictions to be considered a nation that is approaching the 21st century.....

Keep up the good work, USA, you're getting there...

Wealth vs. Poverty.

Food for thought.


The expected ad hominem and 'biased ' blah blah will be sure to follow here. I understand and expect this sort of blather from the 'usual suspects'....

What I really don't understand is that the average bloke, teacher, construction worker, cabinet maker, geologist, cop, firefighter, small-town lawyer etc., who is 'fiscally conservative' actually supports this reality even though this reality hurts, demeans and robs these same supporters.

The USA is absolutely NOT the only country with this problem, by the way.....
