People actually bother to attempt to defend Hillary Clinton? She's just jealous that she can't be as brutal as the Chicoms...yet.

I though the right-wing types would be thrilled, given ACORN's history of union busting activity. They have refused pay overtime and minimum wage, harrassed and fired organizers, and brought in scabs. I thought you people loved that kind of stuff?

Didn't her old man justify his imperial adventurism as "humanitarian intervention"? Disaster and crisis is where the money is these days. Protections are suspended, legislation gets rushed through, private contracts get awarded, all in the speed of the 24 hour news cycle.

Waahhh! That puts the petty in petit bourgeois. It's too bad that the author of the (likely fictional) letter wasted his life in the pursuit of a lie, the notion that more than a tiny percentage of the population will ever be wealthy, and the majority of them worked no harder than surviving...

As far as opioids go, morphine is also very inefficient. That's why the semi-synthetics like oxycodone and hydrocodone. Morphine can only be absorbed into the bloodstream by the liver first unlike the others, so less than 25% of it is bioavaiable when taken orally.

Things sure have changed since I was at Great Lakes. They hounded me to try BUDS, because of my ASVAB, even though I'm scrawny, but even at age 20, I knew I couldn't possibly do it. Now they take functional illiterate, internet tough guy-stoners? They are stretched too thin.

I thought "God's Wrath" or some such did the displacing, not Arabs. I guess a claim to land based on religious mythology is no kookier than a claim to land based on nationalist mythology. That's one serious statute of limitations. I feel better about the US occupation of Iraq, since civilization...

Sorry, I don't have a dog in this fight. All named parties are guilty. I'm not some campus radical who blindly defends every national liberation struggle, but I can't see State violence as being any more legitimate. Nor am I some Protocols quoting, Loose Change, (the love of my life being...

The Israelis would be in big trouble if the Palestinians had a Genghis Khan and as much mechanized infantry with incredibly skilled operators. Not a accurate comparison, but certainly a fun one. Walling people in is a little different than walling them out. People who build was around other...

Since they built the apartheid wall, the Israelis have been the ones doing all the attacking, although I do have to admit, I have no idea how I'd react to what amounts to a big estes model rocket landing in a vacant lot 70 miles from house. Sharon was instrumental in making Hamas what is today...

This country needs divided into 20 million or so countries. The delusion of nationalism (imaginary lines) is only a few hundred years old but has killed so many. Nation-states may have been appropriate in industrial economies, but those days are long gone. Freedom is impossible in a grouping of...

When I was little, I thought the year 2000 would be like the Jetsons, with flying cars and food capsules. Instead, it's the same nonsense. People still do the strangest, most horrible things because of imaginary things like nations, currency, and religion. I can't decide what's stupidest...

Cannabis is ectomycorrhizal, methinks? The cube and pan growers at shroomtalk always made truffle cultivation seem impossible, and cannabis is infinitely easier to cultivate than cubies.

I had a bad experience with HTG, mostly my fault. I bought a ton of stuff there one day and had two people helping me pack the car. The suburban trustafarian working that day decided to keep my ballast and reflector, which could not have happened had one of us stayed and watched the guy or had I...

All government do this. They get the nastiest stuff they can and use it on who ever they can get away with. If you want exposed to chemical weapons, attend a demonstration against the 18 year old Iraq war and uniformed, credentialed terrorists called "cops" may oblige. Musharraf and Sharon were...

I'd take it with a grain of salt. Other than my dad (MOS 112.3), only a few other Vietnam-era aged guys I've talked allege to be anything but ex-special forces, usually the 5th. In the future that will be more believable, as they seem to have seriously lowered the standards for snake eating...

I know actual Marxists and they are all far too doctrinaire and boring (not to mention creepy looking) to be the kind of multimillionaire popularity contest winners, that you parrot from the right-wing radio comics you get your facts from. I"m disabled and therefore part of their target audience...

That's weird, because I'm listening to Limbaugh, and it was strange to see his words pop up on my screen. They aren't Marxists, anymore than Bush is a nazi. They're moderate US politicians, the only kind that get elected. Their first job is to coddle corporations and anything they do for the...

Inbreeding has been a problem among the elites for hundreds of years. Look at the European royal families, I mean look at those ugly people. Prince Charles had to meet a virtual commoner before it was OK for him to reproduce. Laura and Jeb's wife certainly freshened up their New England...

I only registered to post here because free republic won't let me. It's Stockholm syndrome, they identify with their captors. People in the US put up with so much stupid stuff because they believe that they will be Bill Gates or Puff Daddy, Sean Hannity said so.
