Best McCain is old joke I've read. Dear God, I hope so. Sign me up.

Oh, I thought you were referring to other countries. It's not about harming others, EIL, its about the dissolution of privacy, banning smoking in bars (that should be up to the bar owner), eminent domain, making it illegal to back up DVDs that you legally own because you have to get around copy protection, and so on. These are what I mean by civil liberties.

I wouldn't have won anyway, but I thought both QBs would be decent this week, with Campbell having much better potential to have a 30-point game.

This is a difficult question, mainly because I don't think its an either-or answer. He definitely has his own desire to be President above anything else (pretty much required to get the job), but I'm sure he also believes he'll do a good job and is better for the country than mccain.

Ah, okay. lol, my boss has already threatened to move to Canada if Palin becomes VP.

Completely agree, there hasn't been a health care proposal yet that I think makes sense. I definitely think that we are getting hurt by 3rd parties and independent candidates being locked out. While 3rd parties haven't themselves been successful in getting elected, lots of new and good ideas in American history have come from 3rd party sources originally, then one of the two major parties incorporates their ideas into their platform.

Deflecting away from the broad point? I guess I don't get your point here. Are you arguing that globalization necessarily involves the devolution of civil liberties? If so, how?

Easiest and most obvious example: Buy a dime bag and smoke it in my own home, though I personally don't even like or have any interest in doing it. Still though, the loss of freedom isn't something that's done in such a non-subtle way, but by eroding your rights (yay patriot act). Economically.

Never said you did wish him harm, and I wouldn't doubt if it wasn't his last arrest (as the statistics show that it wasn't that way). What I *did* assert in this instance is that APD could have overstepped their bounds. Hows that? Because he's the ultimate marketer? Which is EXACTLY what we don't need (and was done by W).

This is a tough question, and one that you won't get a great response to, as it isn't a simple answer. The biggest thing that scares me is we are losing our historical skepticism of government. Both sides want to increase the role of government in our lives; one in the name of foreign policy, one in the name of the domestic policy. On the other hand, we are also losing our sense of balance. There definitely are things that we, as citizens, rely on our government for. We need them to provide infrastructure for the country, and ensure that the free markets are fair markets. In more concrete terms, this has been reflected by the expanding powers of the office holders, the reduction of freedom and liberty in society, the national debt, and the insane Wilsonian notion of forcing democracy onto other countries.

Oh, I forgot, the cops are always 100% right and we shouldn't have a legal system int he country. It's just a waste of time. Excuse me. I also forgot that any future crime proves guilt on any previous charges. My bad. Seriously Bill, there were eye witnesses saying that the Cops were wrong and he was acquitted on all charges. You're showing your police bias here.

Oh yeah, I TOTALLY would vote based off of that too. I guess you didn't hear, but Benson was acquitted on all charges. Just FYI.

Illegal Immigration definitely tops my list as the most important issue in this election.

I don't get it.

Me, for starting Campbell over Warner. Randy Moss.

Sweet, thanks Dennis!

Amen. While I'm very impressed with my 'horns, I have no idea how they are going to beat Mizzou, Okie lite, and Tech over the next 3 weeks.

Sadly, I wasn't at the game this year. However, from past years, I can tell you that the Texas side does seem to be a bit louder sometimes.

While I agere with some of what you are saying, there is not one Presidential Candidate who puts their country ahead of their own ambition. Not one. It seems like the normal progression goes from complete, selfish ambition to both personal ambition and looking out for the country when they actually get into office.

Thanks Cajun! I'm gonna go watch the LSU game with a bunch of LSU alum in a bit. As you could guess right now though, I'm on top of the world. BTW, It's now 2:47PM Texas Time, and OU STILL SUCKS!

Pretty damn good game so far. Hopefully Greg Davis will come out and throw like 5, 6 straight passes. He'll never do it though, he loves those little stretch plays to the otuside that DONT FREAKING WORK against Oklahoma.

I keep trying to get him to talk about the Red River Shootout, but he won't, lol
