Name one thing the government does better than the private sector and I'll show you something that requires the use of force to accomplish.
Actually Psycho, I have noticed that you seem to be laughing alot lately. You do realize that hard laughter does release warm breath into the enviornment thereby lending to our serious global warming problem.
As a further observation I wopuld be curious to know if you have mastered the technique of the one sheet wipe as suggested by your coll....coleuge....colleg (how the fuck do you spell coleague anyway?) Sheryl Crow.
emmett, at my age I carry toilet paper just for farts. Know what I mean?
I figure with some laughter the alcohol content of my breath will somewhat diffuse the CO2 emissions around me and the NOX releases from the CIA will be less forthcoming while the H2O fermented will diminish the effects of the BS as prescribed by the PTB's from the WH.
Dig it?
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

Senate Bows to Auto Industry, Bush Administration--Ditches Fuel Economy Improvements
WASHINGTON - July 29 - The Senate today gave the Bush Administration and auto industry increased power to hold up progress on fuel economy standards. The Sierra Club criticized the Senate for doing nothing to save consumers money at the pump, reduce America's oil dependence and reduce global warming pollution. Instead, Senators passed a sham amendment proposed by Senators Carl Levin (D-MI) and Kit Bond (R-MO).
The Senate voted for the irresponsible Levin-Bond amendment, allowing the Bush Administration to deepen our oil dependence. The Senate failed to pass an amendment to significantly improve the fuel economy of cars and light trucks introduced by Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL).
"In handing our nation's energy security over to the auto industry, the Senate bowed to the pressure of the Bush Administration working in cahoots with the auto industry," said Daniel F. Becker, Director of Sierra Club's Global Warming and Energy Program.
The Levin-Bond amendment leaves the fuel economy and safety issue to the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) without providing them with a target for oil savings. NHTSA has failed to effectively implement fuel economy regulations and enforce auto safety standards for the last 25 years. Indeed, average fuel economy of 2002 model year vehicles is the lowest since 1980. The Administration's close ties to the auto-industry, including Chief of Staff Andrew Card's previous position as chief lobbyist for General Motors, are further indications that NHTSA will do little to increase CAFE standards. The Bush Administration's recent announcement of a small 1.5 mpg increase in light truck fuel economy standards shows that it is not serious about cutting our oil use.
"The Senate ignored a chance to make real progress in reducing our oil dependence, saving consumers money, and cutting global warming pollution," said Gary Skulnik, Washington Representative on Sierra Club's Global Warming and Energy Program. "The American people demand better from our Senators than this irresponsible vote to elevate the auto industry's short-term interests over Americans' safety and energy security."
