Japan also has 1/10th the population and far fewer resources than China does. Like it or not, those sheer numbers make China formidable.
The role we're going to share is that of superpower, as I clearly stated. I'm not sure what you mean by 'roles', unless you're just trying to be...
China is bound to overtake us at some point. They have around four times the people we do. The only thing that has stopped them to this point has...
That you find my comments irrelevant does not make them so. Frankly, I find your extrapolations (which are based on short term trends and...
I guess you didn't read the article, because if you had you'd realize that race is by far the most prominent driver mentioned (hint: it's part of...
Well, I've addressed the major points, and I have heard nothing from its defenders aside from the usual "they must be racists because that's what...
"Sensibly"? Well, that's certainly a matter of opinion. With mouthpieces so willing to feebly paint race across every issue, it's not surprising...
I think the notion that racism and bigotry are the impetus behind the actions of the Republican Party is misguided. None of what the author...
The author makes the mistake of assuming that race is either the only variable or far more important than any others. Any cogent analysis of...
Please, we haven't mastered much of anything other than arrogance and self-righteousness. (But to be fair, pretty much every previous generation...
Nonsense. You act as though the current world circumstances are far too complex for a simple 18th century mind to grasp. People like Jefferson...
Which it won't because it has no need. Look at this past election. Despite the large turnover, 86% of congressional incumbents who ran for...
It won't work because neither side is willing to take power away from corporate interests and return it to the people. You can talk theory all...
Year........Total Debt per year.......Budget Surplus/Deficit FY94..................(286) B...............(203) B FY95..................(281)...
That's a nice pipedream. Too bad it has a snowball's chance of ever happening.
Methinks the rich will use the inevitable newly created loopholes to find ways to keep more of their money than most people think.
I don't expect them to. What irritates me is when people use CBO prognostications to justify some sort of political maneuvering. For instance,...
I really wish people would stop using the CBO crystal ball as a baseline. According to the 2002 estimates we were supposed to have a $145 billion...
That's because prudent government intervention and fiscal responsibility cannot coexist in America. People realize they can get "free" stuff from...
Our economy is based on consumption beyond the point of necessity. The government overspends, the people overspend. We lurve borrowing from the...
There's a fundamental flaw in the American system of governance (or any system of governance with democratic leanings), and that is the ability of...
I'm holding out hope that my proposal to pay for it with goat milk will gain traction.
A Tea Party whore is every bit as enamored of power and its trappings as the Republican and Democratic varieties.
I don't trust politicians, especially the 500+ of them in Washington. The particular party is irrelevant, and any people who think that one...
