  A hypothetical economics question...
 
What would happen if all debts public and private were just plain cancelled as of, say, 1/1/2002? I choose an already-passed date so that there couldn't be a mad dash to accrue huge debt in hope that it would be eliminated. In all seroiusness, what (...)

  Re: War on Drugs SUPPORTS terrorists.
 
| Their site doesn't say how they're gonna pay for the extra resources needed to | treat drug abuse as a medical problem. That is because the LP is about ideas, not solutions. The LP should be able, as a fringe party, to raise the level of debate. (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: War on Drugs SUPPORTS terrorists.
 
(...) My guess is the "War on Drugs" probably supports some politicians & businessmen, too. For that matter, there's probably politicians & businessmen that support terrorism. The average Joe probably (unknowingly) supports terrorism indirectly in (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Wackiness, Thy Name is Two-Headed Moose Foetus
 
(...) I'm afraid I explained myself poorly: what I mean is that, besides the obvious scientific study of mutations, and the sociological study you mention (this one I did not recall, to be honest), there is no point in making such a display of (...)

  Re: War on Drugs SUPPORTS terrorists.
 
(...) Yeah, probably. I liked the ad. It reminded me of the better Robbie Conal or Barbara Krueger stuff, some of Conal's posters can be seen at: (URL) esp.: (URL) Hop-Frog (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: War on Drugs SUPPORTS terrorists.
 
Strange, I would have thought that a greater priority for the LP would have been protecting the rights of those held by your government in Guantanemo Bay or even those held without formal charge in jails in the USA? But I expect there are few votes (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  War on Drugs SUPPORTS terrorists.
 
To counter the propaganda run a few weeks ago the LP supposedly placed an ad in today's USA Today. Here is the info on it: (URL) here is the ad: (URL) pdf, may be a bit slow to d/l) Did anyone see it? I don't normally get that paper except when (...)

  scientology conspiracy in Hollywood (was Re: Urantia?)
 
(...) I’m afraid I don’t know enough about French culture/legislation to really answer your point. But you appear to be inferring that this could never happen in the USA? Could the scientologists not just be labelled “un-American” and then a witch (...) (23 years ago, 26-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Urantia?
 
(...) Yeah, I've wondered about this issue as well. For me, much can be made of the fact that the "religion" in question [allegedly] goes to great lengths to restrict its member's freedoms, such as freedom to choose a different religion, so there (...)
