| What's kind of funny here is all the people who cry about the evils of "big government" are so gungho when it comes to sucking up to the State ( or states such as China ) when it is deemed useful. One of the results is proprietary bullshit which has made the Internet more complex than nece... |

| I don't know why all of you allow yourselves to be provoked by this guy,"individualist"(sic)? He is really nothing of the sort. Neocons are a confidence game, a kind of "private" marxism. Look at the backgrounds of the major NCs and you will see marxism or more specially trotskyi... |

| The neo-cons are no less elitist than the old tories but the latter at least can not be blamed for the anti-intellectualism so prominent within the United States (and spreading in this country ). "New money" thugs remind me of marxists in their ideological evasiveness while the old money t... |

| Some points here have been made before so this is more of a recap. Neo-cons are not conservatives at all but just a kind of right-wing liberalism. Political equality does not mean people are actually equal in the sense of similiarity. I understand that, old tories understand that, but the "new&... |

| Well put. Some years ago the former chancellor of Germany, Schroeder decided to (sort of) switch sides and become a critic of Bushman in the hopes of getting a few more votes. Didn't really work at least not in the long run. The social democratic consensus in Europe seems to be wearing a bit thin es... |

| Some fairly good observations all round. I think one of the problems with the CBC is their part-desire to appear different from other media without actually being so; like their (so named) television comedy which tries to be "controversial" without really saying a great deal. I particularl... |

If anyone happens to be passing through Ottawa perhaps they should consider going down to Parliament Hill with a big sign. On the sign would be only two words,
" Reichstag Fire ". |

I wonder if anyone has ever asked the question,
" Mr. Prime Minister, if you think Afghanistan is so great why don't YOU join the army?"
Might make a good sign to plant on Parliament Hill! |

| Sounds good. I wonder how many people on this site would be in favour of some sort of public ownership in the energy sector? If not direct control of the industry how about the licencing of oil and gas fields with some stipulation that a two tier price must be brought in for domestic consumption? |
