And you are the same bald faced liar as usual. No one here has posted
any anti-homosexual matter at all--except you, of course. Matches
nicely with your colonialist views of liberation, you simpleminded
moron. And, of course, since no one else brought this up at all, you
just had to to show your real agenda didnt' you?

Apparently, he is not married and never has been married. Now we can
see why it means so little to him.

None of these are tax money issues. They are questions about a society's

Maybe because there are no usenet posts from there bragging about how great

He can be. Of course seeing from your eyes you wouldn't think so.

So you're the expert on what people think? Your personal experience
of running with certain crowds, or swallowing everyhthing in the
media, is going to color your views.

What behaviours are you talking about? Most Americans do not behave

That's not evidence. I'll bet most parties don't even have a single
flag at them. All the media needs to do is get some footage and show
it, and you believe that it is everywhere.

The economy has been down, but beyond recovery?

"THE ARMY THAT CAN DEFEAT TERRORISM doesn't wear uniforms, or drive Humvees,
or call in airstrikes. It doesn't have a high command, or high security,
or a high budget. The army that can defeat terrorism does battle quietly,
clearing minefields and vaccinating children. It undermines military
dictatorships and military lobbyists. It subverts sweatshops and special
interests. Where people feel powerless, it helps them organize for change,
and where people are powerful, it reminds them of their responsibility." --
