.... ![]() ![]() look at the streets. ![]() .... here it is in the discussion too, that fast food companies should reduce sugar and fat in their meals too. In a two liter bottle of Coke are 80 cubes of sugar or ~200g! A warning on convenience food ain't enforced - unfortunately - so far. At my place a pizza order - appending on the sum - goes with a bottle of red wine. ![]() ![]()

![]() Not all wars are voluntary; but voluntary wars are usually wars fought for profit. The Vietnam War was a good example of policy drift; the entanglement escalated because the military thought (wrongly) that they could turn the war to their advantage; and the JFK and especially the LBJ administrations lacked the focus and strength to appreciate the peril. The Korean War was actually a success in that it prevented a strategic shift in the Far East which would have imperilled Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines. America had her own agenda in both WW1 and WW2, and in WW2 particularly she gained economically and in prestige; but in WW2 she was attacked. It isn't always a case of "follow the money"; but that's a valid approach whenever the reasons for a war aren't obvious.

In other words I believe FDRs conscience led him to support the allies, but I do not think he was actively trying to get the US into a major war. The only thing that could have induced the US into war as overwhelmingly as it did was something like the Pearl Harbor attack which- conspiracy theorists aside-the US did not anticipate as the response of a sober nation state nor was it an attack manufactured by the FRD administration. (After all...why sacrifice the one tool you would need to prosecute a war in the pacific in order to have just cause for declaring war in the first place?) |

![]() Of course,but they think of themselves as elitists ,quasi royalists,who pander to the rich.Face it most of their legislation currenly favors the top 2-4 % of earners.Abortion,issues, & other issues pertaining to personal rights ,their record for the most part, is absysmal,for the majority of them.They are most all in concordance with more millitary spending,& against the presidents step toward NHC.
The GOP is for spending trillions for the "protection" of other countries,start wars under false pretense,as we have currently found out several members of the wreckless & disasterous GWB administration has admitted.Then ,after this debt they have created,they refused to pay for it & dump it & the most disasterous economic calamity in modern US history, on the hands of a new ADIMISTRATION.Then their "rigged" HR refuses to increase taxes on the elite few,who are currently paying the lowest taxes in decades, one cent,again under a rediculous reasoning that if the rich have capital abound,it magically filters its way down to the 96% of the masses! The latest figures of the Presidential election has revealed that the "people", you refer to have lost the presidential election by about 5mil. votes.The "real" people of this country have spoken,loud & clear! |

![]() The point of qwerty ,I think is, from the Ronnie Raygun years, then escalating under the American Royal Family on,yes the GOP has a quick trigger finger on sending hundreds of thousands of US troops to fight wars for purely profit.Clinton too had a part in the very questionable, sending of troops & bombing nations under dubious reasoning,but not to the extent of the Bushies.The US allways bears the brunt ,in modern times,& spends its people trillions in being the policeman of the world,without pay to the people it "protects".This is a formula for economic disaster. |

![]() scoundrel,
Republicans may be "people" but they are no longer "human". Anyone that places a higher value on a weapon over a young child isn't "human", they're something else. Anyone that places a higher value on the health of a corporation or a huge bank over the value of the workers that actually make things isn't "human", they're just greedy. And deserve all those things that greedy "people" deserve. Republicans may be "people" but they certainly aren't "human". Heard that anywhere else, in different context, before? |

As much as it pains me to admit this there are whole VAST numbers of conservatives who really do lead productive and tolerant lives and whose greatest crime is embracing an ideology that may (for now) be out of wack with the mainstream. I would dare say that just because someone believes in tradition and national heritage does NOT mean they place little or no value on the lives of their fellow citizens or that the many should be economically enslaved to the few. I would call such people instead reactionary weirdos, and the far left is just as likely to breed them as the far right. C'mon...lets all be brothers. Go find yourself a conservative and give him a hug. They probably need it the way some of ideological spokesmen keep making them look like idiots. |
