Sarah Palin Champions Barbaric Aerial Hunting of Wolves
From Alaska Department of Fish and Game (kinda like fish and wildlife)
Wolves and bears are very effective and efficient predators on caribou, moose, deer and other wildlife. In most of Alaska, humans also rely on the same species for food. In Alaska's Interior, predators kill more than 80 percent of the moose and caribou that die during an average year, while humans kill less than 10 percent. In most of the state, predation holds prey populations at levels far below what could be supported by the habitat in the area. Predation is an important part of the ecosystem, and all ADF&G wolf management programs, including control programs, are designed to sustain wolf populations in the future.


In conclusion,
WTF do you know about ALASKA!!!! NOTHING!
You can judge the woman on her policies that might affect you, but seriously, this is probably a necessary form of population control, not just benefiting local people and game, but other wolves as well.

Not trying to flame, just bring in another opinion.

The Philosophy of Liberty (aka Libertarianism made easy!)
>> ^NetRunner:
Ahh, I knew much of it before, but yes that explains how the whole thing is derived from "owning your life", and several sub-questions.

However, it also confirms my suspicion that the libertarian philosophy is anti-democratic and anti-hierarchy w/regard to decision-making.

I don't see how a Libertarian justifies voting (even for Libertarians), because it's an attempt to exercise control over others, by forcing them to accept a leader not of their own choosing -- unless the vote is unanimous.

I would expect all Libertarians to go into fits over the topic of pollution and who's rights get protected; those who are affected by the pollution, or the rights of the polluter to use his property as he pleases?

Who owns the air?


1. By living in a representative republic, i feel that you are subject to the system. If one doesn't like it, they are free to move to a place where their political interests are better met.
2. I feel that in the case of pollution, the polluter should be limited. The best metaphor i can imagine is loud music. While the person who is playing the music is pursuing their own happiness, since it inhibits that of others, it would be wrong.
p.s. not trying to flame.
p.p.s. SOMEONE THROW ME A BONE!!! Don't let this die again! This needs to be brought up front, all for the low low price of one star point!(at least that's my understanding)

Obama's new campaign ad: "Same"
Barr vote here.
We can't afford more government. This has been evident as far back as i can remember. I don't know when the last balanced budget happened, but i know that no matter who wins, we will be paying for it. Take your paycheck. Cut it in half. Now your decision is to give it to a war, or to poor people.

Fox News Gets Reefer Madness Over So-Called Killer Marijuana
>> ^deedub81:
According to the FDA, 249 medical marijuana patients were killed between 1/1/97 - 6/30/05. Marijuana, cannibis, and other Cannabinoids are listed as the secondary cause of death. It is unclear in the study how many people were prescribed marijuana between those dates.


If it doesn't kill you, it will most certainly make you as dumb as a bag of nails.

From Wikipedia: "...a recent study by the Canadian government found cannabis contained more toxic substances than tobacco smoke. It contained 20 times more ammonia, (a carcinogen), five times more hydrogen cyanide (which can cause heart disease) and nitrous oxides, (which can cause lung damage) than tobacco smoke.

Cannabis use has been linked to exacerbating the effects of psychosis, schizophrenia, bronchitis, and emphysema by several peer-reviewed studies for those who are vulnerable to such illnesses based on personal or family history.

n July 2007, British medical journal The Lancet published a study that indicates that cannabis users have, on average, a 41% greater risk of developing psychosis than non-users. The risk was most pronounced in cases with an existing risk of psychotic disorder, and was said to grow up to 200% for the most-frequent users.

While the long term and heavy use of cannabis is not linked to the severe or grossly debilitating cerebral effects associated with chronic heavy alcohol abuse, it has been LINKED to more subtle IMPAIRMENT associated with MEMORY, ATTENTION, AND COGNITIVE FUNCTION.

Ron Paul Doesn't Believe In Evolution.
It's a good thing the American gov't is "separated" from the church. If we really followed the constitution (the supreme American document) it wouldn't matter that Ron Paul is a christian or that Obama had a muslim father. It's too bad that to think that the constitution is working the way that it should is being naive and short-sighted.
