    G'bye...

    Well, it was a tumultuous few weeks... I guess I should have stayed away from RW. I can't stick around anymore, though. I'm not sure what allows some of you guys to beat each other up in RW, and then come over here and be friends, but I don't have it. I'm also not sure what allows some of you to...

    How I see the political spectrum, and why.

    OLI had said at one time that perhaps we should have a discussion of terms and sort out how we're using right-wing vs left-wing. The terms are probably too tainted by common misuse to be untangled at this point, but I will attempt to explain how I see the spectrum. Some people favor a...

    Ba'athist Fascism...

    I was given a link to a really fascinating article on the ideological underpinnings of the Ba'ath Party. The similaritiess with the writings by Mussolini that I posted in another thread are amazing. It's a little long, but well worth reading. Here are a few excerpts...

    Is Suppression a Rule of Marxism?

    The question has been raised as to whether the use of force is part of the theory of communism, or whether its use by every communist country is simply a perversion of the theory. I pulled out my copy of The Marx-Engels Reader to examine the question more indepth. Marx certainly reserved the...

    Snatching Defeat...

    From the Jaws of Victory... It's in the news, it's on the board... glum faces, and dire predicitions that what looks like an American victory will prove Pyrrhic. "The Iraqis will revert to hating Americans once the euphoria of being rid of Saddam wears off." "Iraq will balkanize into...

    A mystery...

    Look at the picture and see if you can guess what it is... :) For bonus points, see if you can guess who done it.

    It's not that I prefer not to be called a conservative, I'm simply not a conservative by any stretch of the imagination. One can call me a capitalist, a classical liberal (19th century edition), a libertarian with a small 'l', a Jeffersonian, a free market advocate, an Objectivist... My...

    Hey Guys!

    :wave: Just thought I would say 'hi'. I've been embedded with the news channels for the past couple of weeks, and I thought I would drop in to see how you guys are reacting to the war. Things are going well otherwise. Hope you're all doing well too. :)

    Taking a break...

    I was just sitting here looking back over the day and thinking that I have spent entirely too much time on OTC. It's been steadily taking over for the past several weeks, and I need to scale back. The best way to do it is to walk away for a bit. I just have too much that I need to do around here...

    Tom Tom Club -- Help

    I'm trying to find the Tom Tom Club album Close to the Bone on CD, and not having any luck. Anyone know where I might be able to track that down? Does it exist? I have it on cassette, but the sound quality has gotten pretty shitty over the years. The cassette is older than some of the people...

    Individual Rights and Prior Restraint

    It doesn't matter if they do or not. All that matters is that they are prevented from violating individual rights. Yes. People have the right to life and property. If someone violates those rights, they should be subject to criminal charges, but I'm against all laws that place a prior...
