I will generate a coherent response later. Too bad I have work to do right now.
ps- We're definitely on for lunch Thursday. Mexican McDonalds?

Uh, let's go to O'Charley's. Is that ok? Eating Mexican food makes me a walking WMD.

O'Charley's sounds great. I love their steamed veggies and you can eat something that used to have a pulse 8)

Spragwa, I first wanted to just blast you about being a lib, but now I am genuinely interested in your views.
Can you please explain why tax cuts are bad. I paid a tremendous amount in taxes last year. Why shouldn't I get to keep more of what I earn. I don't mind paying my fair share, but when I work like mad for a bonus, half of it disappears.
Nevermind don't answer, it will probably be some swill about "fairness". I'm too much of a nice guy to be pissed all the time. Forget it.

Wait a minute. If Bush was sooo concerned about the people of Iraq, then when do we liberate North Korea, Iran, China, etc, etc? Democracy is not even a thought in countless countries of the world. Since we know Iraq had no WMD and no links to terrorists, we look like idiots. We went in to stop a "dictator with WMD and ties to terrorists" and now we're told we went in to free the people who now don't want us there. If we went in to free the people, shouldn't we therefore free all oppressed people all over the world? Oh, that's right, the rest of the poor oppressed people don't have oil under their feet.

Saxman, This is the best point I've read so far...I couldn't agree more
The WHOLE thing was/is a freaking oil war!
In the end, it's always about money.

rhunt and sprag..you two should hook up..two of the most cynical people out there...(besides me)...you have ZERO proof that it was about oil anymore than you have proof it wasn't truly about WMD....you, too, have bought the party line...shame on you both....but keep spinning these sinister theories...it might stick...lmao

yo pigysteak...you're right, I don't have all the facts...But hey if this is all about oil and the US ends up having more control of the oil in the mideast...then maybe gas prices will go back down. My 4 hour drive to the Red every weekend this fall won't cost as much and I'll have more money for pizza.
Because this is really all about me and my selfish pursuit of climbing...right?
