Over two hundred years ago Adam Smith said that if another country can produce goods that were cheaper and a higher quality then your own country produced you should buy them.
Protectionism destroys wealth and lowers the standard of living of the country it is supposed to be protecting.
Globalism and outsourcing creates wealth for everyone.
or do you think that a person should continue to be made to "live" even though they are in a vegetative state?
An adult has the right to do with his or her body as he she thinks fit.
It is not the right to die, but the right of self ownership.

she's like 50 or 51 now, but when "girls just wanna have fun" came out, as a red blooded teenage boy i was totally in love.. just thought you all needed to know.
I thought Cindi Lauper was fantastic. I thought that she would become a lasting force in music and that Madonna was a flash in the pan.
In the 1970's there was a singer named Nicolette Larsen. I thought she was just as good as Linda Ronstadt but Nicolette never reached superstar recognition.
i was thinking what were jesus last seven statements, & what were there meanings?
it would be after his cruification & before his official death.
any thoughts?
When Jesus said "My God my God why have you forsaken me?" He finally realized he was not the Messiah, just a deluded human being who was going to die and stay dead.
I doubt that he said anything more then that one sentence.
robert blake acquitted of murder
by greg risling .
los angeles (ap) - a jury acquitted tough-guy actor robert blake of murder wednesday in the shooting death of his wife four years ago, bringing a stunning end to a case that played out like pulp fiction.
It is very hard for a jury to convict a defendant of murder on circumstancial evidence.
A woman I loved was murdered by her estranged husband. It was obvious he was guilty. The jury deadlocked because there was no hard evidence and he got off scot free.
in the book of revelation, talking about things to come, babylone the great is to be destroyed, in one hour.. .
some think that babylon the great symbolizes america, while others like the jw's say it's the false relgions that will be destroyed by the un.... .
who do you think babylon the great represents?.
Revelation was written in code to first century Christians to protect them from first century Rome.
Revelation is not about prophecy at all, it is about what was happening at the time it was written.
a couple of years ago i listened to the audio book, abridged version, how the irish saved civilization.
awesome.. today i went to the book store and picked up malachy mccourt's history of ireland which looks to be a promising read.
then today padraig harrington won the honda classic.. aye, irish eyes are gleaming!
Most of the great medeavel universities of Europe were started by Irish monks.
How many people know that St. Brendan discovered America in the 6th or 7th Century?
Whisky was invented so the Irish would not rule the world.
i am not a scientist so i do bow to others superior knowledge on this site regarding these subjects (and welcome their input) but what is to stop these two theories both being proven so that they both apply to our origins.. what is to stop a creator creating evolution as a process just as a creator would create the laws of physics etc?
it would be akin to starting the ball rolling in creation terms and letting it carry on until the highest lifeform is present.
could scientific theory support this view perhaps?.
For creation to be true, first there must be a creator.
If something can not be measured and tested with repeatable results it does not exist.
God cannot be measured or tested with repeatable results so there is no creator.
That leaves evolution as the only alternative.
Science and belief cannot co-exist and can never be reconciled. Science is cold hard fact while belief is warm fuzzy feelings with no basis in reality.
