 figure of speach.
 <ROFLOL> Absolutely.
          Probably why 24 million (plus) people have signed petitions to
          Impeach President Clinton for malfeasance (Political form
          of being a traitor) due to passing an ex post facto (retro-
          active) tax law, which Article 1, Section 9, Part 3 of the
          US Constitution makes passing ex post facto laws illegal.
          If Congress and the President aren't going to uphold this
          little part of the Constitution, aren't telling the truth
          with regards to major bills and funding, and are with-holding
          releases of politically important reports until the day
          after a bill is passed into law that would have been effected
          by that report; what else are they going to do with laws
          written 'for the people' by representatives 'of the people.'

assistant: Since Joey Minckler wrote to Bill Hayes about Nafta
 We can't impeach him over NAFTA, however, his tax law, retroactive
 to January 1st, is an 'ex post facto' (retroactive) law. In the US
 Constitution, Article 1, Section 9, Part 3, "No bill of attainder
 or ex post facto law shall be passed"
 malfeasance n. 1. unlawful action by a public official.
 While people might argue that the part of Section 9 of Article 1
 is "only" in reference to criminal activities, Chief Justices of
 the Supreme Court from 1863 to 1968 have used that part of Section
 9 of Article 1 in references to laws passed in these 50 States as
 being unconstitutional in reference to their 'retroactive' clauses.
 If the Supreme Court has not used the reference as "only" criminal
 activities, arguing that it is "only" in reference to criminal
 activities will only fall flat on its face.
 According to Hillary, The Health Care 'added costs' will be paid for
 by increasing cigerette luxury taxes. I'm surprized she didn't add
 taxes on the illegal sales of recreational drugs.

 No biggy.
 As the airport is owned by the City of Fort Worth, Not H.Ross Perot.
 (although, Henry will lease the surrounding land to people who want
 to use the land as support facilities for cargo planes that will fly
 in and out of Alliance)
 As for the 100 Million, Our Congress has left us with a $4 billion hole
 in Waxahachie that won't be making any money, creating jobs, or effecting
 the economy and tax base of our country. I'd be a heades of a lot more
 madder at that Prospect, than being mad at Fort Worth owning a cargo
 airport. In which case, I'm mad as haedes at the prospect of having a
 tourist attraction in Waxahachie that the U.S. taxpayers paid over $4
 billion for and aren't going to get anything to show for the investment.
 Just makes me want to pelt a New York House of Representatives Donkey,

 However, other supporters are doing loads of work in their state.
 Search me, I got off the phone with Michael just a few seconds ago.
 He was willing to admit to me it is 10 million signatures -in- Texas.
 There are 18 other states that I know of, with anywhere between 22,000
 signatures to 3 or 4 million signatures due to incrediably hard working
 vollenteers. Some have started wearing T-Shirts that read, "Impeach
 Clinton" on the front with the definition of 'Malfeasance' and
 'ex post facto' on the back.
 It appears to me, Clinton will be the FIRST President Impeached in the
 History of the United States. (Provided he doesn't resign first and
 get his Vice-President to give him amnesty from prosecution of
 malfeasance - in which case, since he broke the tie in the Senate, to
 pass an 'ex post facto' (retroactive) bill, he could be liable for
 malfeasance as well - there is talk of getting them both)

 "Free Trade is destructive. It creates unemployment and destroys

 Take a wild hairy (donkey) guess.
 Karl Marx had the opinion that free trade would cause the loss of jobs.
 In fact, Karl Marx counted on it, in order for a labor movement revolution
 to take place to over throw the government and change it to Communism, a
 place where the state runs everything, and the laborer is the slave.
 Why aren't we selling groceries to the Russians ?
 They are in desperate need of 'food' products.
 Several Historians believe Clinton wants it to be a flop.
 They believe Clinton wants to be the head of the 'New World Order'
 of 'Communism'.
                      Their opinions are based heavily on FACT.

 No, 'Old Ross' does not reap the benefits, 'Big Ross' does.
 Nice try, though.
 Not very much, being a Texan concerned with Texas Jobs, with a Texas
 President strong arming Congress, Alliance was an easy lobby.
 And Fort Worth has an airport like Dallas does (Keeping up with the
 Joneses sort of thing)
 He probably would have, had Fort Worth [not] refused to allow an
 airport on the site without owning it.  Since Fort Worth wanted
 to own Alliance (Dallas owns Love Field jealousy thing), 'Old Ross'
 went to Congress (knowing that you can get funds from Congress to build
 an airport if you provide proof that the airport will create jobs
 for the benefit of the surrounding commerce for 50 to 100 miles)
 Keeping Fort Worth happy, Keeping the tax accessor happy, and setting
 up a potential profitable enterprise that will benefit the surrounding
 commerce a hundred fold. Fort Worth likes it.

 The proletariat is defined by Karl as the laborers of any 'state'.
 The bourgeoiseie is defined by Karl as those people who are not laborers,
 but the capitalists of the 'state'. This is stated plainly in the
