Rumor: Kerry & Edwards Want to Ban SEIV

If that's true about CPS, Attro, then it is a corrupt organization out of control that needs shutting down. Maybe some laws need to be modified. It doesn't amount to a disagreement about abuse on either end of the scale (child abuse, or parent abuse by an agency) - I trust none of us, and no honest and sane people want either. It also doesn't fall under "those darn liberals are to blame".

Parents don't have any way to punish their children besides hitting them are in sad need of help in parenting. That's where an even worse crisis is in this country - too many parents without enough understanding of how to be a good parent.

As for the Patriot Act, IMO it's far worse than airliner kamikaze attacks, in a different way, of course. If anyone believed George W. Bush was defending our freedom, well he surrendered that war with that act, and became a far worse enemy to freedom than any terrorists.

We don't need population control in the U.S. Our population is only growing becuase of imigration, which is a good thing.

Eventually, with increases in urbanization, other countries won't have population problems either. And when their 'baby boomers' reach adulthood each and every one will experience a culteral revolution, perhaps even a political one. That's the way it works.

As for this law, don't forget that the courts have consistantly came to the side of the publishers and developers on grounds of free speach. Unjust laws do get passed in the U.S., sometimes. We have a system of checks and balances that corrects this, given time.

I would like to ask, alarikf, why you switched from Libertarian to 'liberal' (whatever that means, you have indicated that you favor the Democrats)?

Most people I know who were Libertarians in their youth no longer call themselves such. They may swithc to one of the main parties, may go further into the extreme and favor anarchism, or may come up with their own names for their beliefs, like Anarchial Capitalism, or somesuch.

Hell, if you think you have overpopulation in the US, well you can always come up here to Canada. We're in need of some good, decent people. After all, we're a larger country than the States, and with about 10% the population! No worries about overcrowding here

My dad never spanked me, but knowing that he would if he had to kept some of my worst impulses under control.

So can they ban boxing, gridiron, US invasions of othre countries, george W Bush being on the news (its a terrorfiying image to behold the ugly mug - even chaney is more attractive), how about shopping (i mean women and violence against their cash balances and credit cards)

You can never know what they can ban until they ban it.

Look at what prohobition did to the economy. Many believe that it lead to the colaps of the US economy back in the day as it put so many people out of work at one time and lead to economic stress that ultimately brought down the stock market and ignited the great depression.
