You can't be serious.  What difference, then, does _anything_ _anyone_
does make?  What people do and say is the best measure of their character.
Your attitude is not surprising since those to the left of center typically
believe in rights without responsibilities and thus place little value
in a persons actions as a measure of their character.

I couldn't agree with you more.  We have to cut our spending and take care of
that debt that we've accumulated over the years.  But the problem is that
the government doesn't want to let go of it's high standard of living.  I
know that if we cut absurd traveling expenses from Congressmen, we won't
solve the deficit.  If we cut defense spening, we won't solve the deficit.
We'll never cut the deficit by making cuts in spending in one area, we have
to make a global cut.  All departments, all special interest groups, all
institutions....this is the only way to make a substantial cut.  If we don't
make any cuts, or a minimal amount, we will fall into a deeper and deeper
debt pit.  Sooner or later, someone's gonna have to buy us out.  Probably
the Japanesse.  Do you want that to happen??

The problem with capital gains taxes in the short term is that they
contribute to the stagnant growth that we've seen over the last 4
years.  The tax is an incentive to not cash in an investment and
use it for other investments.

    Nope, not me, I inhaled like crazy (note the double entendre).

    The thing I *did* fake was acting like I was knowledgeable about women 
while in fact I was a virgin till age 31 and practically never went out on 
dates. Now that I'm older and due to be married in 2 months I don't have 
to act like I understand women any more. These days I just plead ignorance
and my intended wife (bless her heart) has both the capacity to forgive my 
worst gaffes and the tact to overlook the rest.

  Cranston is out (as is Wilson, incidentally). He claims that it
was prostate cancer which made him decide not to run, not the 
Keating 5 thing. Barbara Boxer, Bruce Hershensohn and June Genis
are all vying for the incumbentless seat.

Here's a funny quote that will be on tonight's episode of "The Simpson's"
in response to Bush saying "I wish more family shows were like the Walton's
than the Simpson's" or something to that effect. Bart's reply:

"President Bush, our family IS like the Walton's. Each night we pray for

I have a better idea.  Let's split up into two countries, liberals and 
conservatives.  You liberals can have whatever you want, we conservatives 
just will not pay for it.

The only problem is that within 10 years, you folks will have taxed 
yourselves out of existence and will be begging at our door for food.

  I certainly agree.  What I wonder about is why so many conservatives
are against the teaching of this stuff in public schools.  When I was in
high school (10 years ago, Yikes!), we got sex education in the final six
weeks of health class in 11th grade.  16 and 17-year olds!  By then, at least
5 girls I knew became pregnant.  Many others dropped out mysteriously, I
never heard from them again.  

  Conservatives say "teach abstinence".  I agree.  Say that abstinence in
the only method of birth cotrol that is 100% effective.  Talk about the
rigors of single motherhood.  Show statistics of how poor single parent
families are.  Also, try to give girls to have the self-confidence to say
no.  Many don't have it.  However, you can talk until you're blue in the
face, but some will have sex anyway.  Education about various forms of
birth control *in addition* is essential in trying to fight the spread of
AIDS and reducing the number of teenage pregnancies.

  Handing out condoms?  Well... I really don't think that's a good idea
either because you're promoting sex.  However, access to them should not
be restricted.  Where I live, the local pharmacy has written in its
*lease* that they are not allowed to display condoms on the shelves.
They can sell them, but they are behind the pharmacist's counter and you
have to *ask* for them.  Talk about embarrassing.  I'm 28 and married with
a kid and *I'm* embarrassed.  Can you imagine how a high-school boy or
or *girl* would feel asking a 40-year-old male pharmacist for them?

	This is the kind of arguement that usually goes with this subject:

	"I'm right, and if you can't see that, you're and idiot"

It may be an established fact in your world, where the Rush Limbaugh Show
is a balance perspective, but out here there are quite a number of people
who believe that the media is pro-government and pro-business.

From where I sit, the media coverage of Republican convention is about the
same as the media coverage of the democrats, except that there's more of
it. Right wingers complaining about the way Clinton gets to talk must have
forgotten the way that Ross Perot domonated the front pages during the
Democratic convention. For all the anti-GOP sentiment, there is an awful
lot of positive coverage, and the lack of prime time television can be
easily traced to the share rating of both conventions, which is pretty 
abysmal (less then _Revenge of the Nerds III_, but slightly more then
a _Murphy Brown_ rerun).
