Do I go?
QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 02:52 PM) This is totally true. Reagan was a good President, but the left wants to trash him every chance they get and the right wants to put him on Mt. Rushmore. I don't think most try to "trash" him. In fact I list him as one of our greatest presidents. But I also see some legacy issues that frighten me. The single most important thing he did was make Americans believe in America again. The second best cheerleader was Clinton. After the aging Reagan, and the grandfatherly Bush, (with his wife who looked like his mother), the youthful, sax playing Clinton arrives on the scene. We eat that stuff up and it shows in the economic numbers and everything else. The President as cheerleader is very important in my eyes. What Reagan left behind was the GOP trying to recreate his Teflon image by screaming media bias, and our love of debt. The Soviet economy crashed under the weight of debt, and Reagan is given credit for that, who will take "credit" when we collapse under the debt?

Tom House and Steroids
QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 11, 2007 -> 02:27 AM) I'm trying to recall any unusually muscular baseball players from the 70's. Any ball player who was juicing in the 70's was getting ripped off. Most of the time they are looking for an edge. So it isn't someone 100% bigger, maybe just 10% bigger.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 05:30 PM) So, I just bought a rabbit. I guess literally it's still a bunny. Anyone got any helpful tips? They litter box train very easily, that's good news. They also chew worse than any puppy. Be careful with anything they can reach. Rabbits are very cool pets.

Man faces long prison term over doughnut theft
QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 02:34 PM) Fair enough. I could go for that, as long as his criminal past isn't for violent things. Then something different may be called for. Sure. And overall I favor Judges having more, rather than less, options in these cases.

Qaeda Goes Dark After a US Slip
QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 02:39 PM) What did they have to gain by leaking it? Someone is made to feel special. Someone is looking for a job. Someone is looking to be a hero. It could be someone inside the administration but not working under orders. Or it could be the liberal media trying to make the President look bad. But I doubt it in this case, too high profile.

Something less than even 5-years. Perhaps house arrest, or a work release system where he spends a year of nights and weekends in a cell.

For Dems only.
These are messages left on an internet message board. If anyone thinks that speaks for mainstream conservatives, they are blindly partisan. Hell it doesn't speak for most of the wingnuts. You have to go pretty far out there to believe those comments, or be trying to make conservatives look bad.

Do I go?
QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 10:23 AM) That is very cool. For a young person like me who didn't "live" through the moment, my perception of Gorbachev was a guy who understood that letting go of Russias power/zeal to become a hegemon was the best thing for not only Russias future but also the worlds (mixed with an understanding that his country was getting poorer by the second). I also find it amazing that relations between the two nations changed so dramatically in 20-30 years (though it loks like Putin is really starting to trash their democratic spirit). Is that an accurate assessment for those who lived through it? There is a lot there. Certainly the events leading up to the moment, Vietnam, Iran, Inflation, Oil Crisis, left us feeling a bit defeated. Along comes Reagan, his great "tear down this wall" line. And we won something. We won the cold war. In reality, dispite what Nuke will counter with, The USSR was in trouble before Reagan and would have collapsed in time, no matter what Reagan did. And I think anyone looking at this objectively would say that Reagan probably had some help. Perhaps Congress? Maybe other nations? Perhaps the governments of many Soviet block countries.

Feds sue Illinois for flouting immigration law.
No doubt that kids will work, but I happen to volunteer and work around a lot of these kids and the ones that want to work find work. Obviously being between the border and the interior checkpoints this is the easiest spot for illegals. Yet the high school kids that desire jobs find them without any problem. I can't believe that kids who are willing to accept these positions are not getting hired. So the question becomes, absent immigrants, will the kids that aren't working suddenly decide they will work in a bean field? I don't see it. They aren't going to abandon football, dance lessons, gymnastics, WOW, and all their other activities because our nation needs laborers.

Feds sue Illinois for flouting immigration law.
The industry that I am most concerned about is agriculture. High School kids can't follow the crops for 9 months picking and processing. It is also unlikely that enough local workers can be found for 3-4 weeks at a stretch. That is where a guest worker program is critical. I also believe it is critical to our national security. I believe eating is a good thing.

Do I go?
QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Oct 10, 2007 -> 08:16 AM) . All fine and dandy. Except that they also recruit from non-poor areas, so that argument is only half right. And on a different note, I don't recall people here cheering when Russians were starving. In fact, didn't they get alot of food aid from the US? Some of his comments sounded like he was trying to practice a little revisionist history, like Russia really wasn't that bad, etc. But I bet it was still an experience to listen to him. I would have liked to have been there myself. All true. We took joy in winning the cold war, and we sent aid.
