For Stacy Smith - Government Spending still climbs
by Phantom Stranger inconfounding president bush's pledges to rein in government growth, federal discretionary spending expanded by 12.5 percent in the fiscal year that ended sept. 30, capping a two-year bulge that saw the government grow by more than 27 percent, according to preliminary spending figures from congressional budget panels.
the sudden rise in spending subject to congress's annual discretion stands in marked contrast to the 1990s, when such discretionary spending rose an average of 2.4 percent a year.
not since 1980 and 1981 has federal spending risen at a similar clip.

A definition of "fundamentalism" - and a great passage
by Phantom Stranger ini was reading the thread about the secular humanist's comment about jws, and the discussion about fundamentalism that follwed, and i was reminded of a book i read not too long ago.
i dug it up and re-read the passage dealing with fundamentalism, and decided it was worth sharing - mostly because then some of you might go buy the book, and i think this book is the most inspiring i have ever read.
i also thought that some of the comments described jws very well.. .
