		Re: Why the founding fathers limited government scope (was Re: Rolling Blackouts
(...) Didn't say otherwise, but it seems you are trying to slide the primary blame onto America instead of where it firmly belongs. Believe me, I'm not a big Bush backer. (...) Are you saying that "real" arabs wanted Saddam in control of Kuwait? (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: Why the founding fathers limited government scope (was Re: Rolling Blackouts

		Re: Why the founding fathers limited government scope (was Re: Rolling Blackouts

		Re: Why the founding fathers limited government scope (was Re: Rolling Blackouts
(...) I've said before I often agree with Libertarian theory - on paper. In practice, I think it has some serious problems - to be fair, what philosophy doesn't? I registered Libertarian to help get them on the California ballot many years ago, if (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: Why the founding fathers limited government scope (was Re: Rolling Blackouts

(...) Yer all softies. I was born and bred in de briar patch, and I grew up without air conditioners at school, home, or the car.

		Re: Rolling Blackouts
I gotta say, I don't get this one. A few odd birds get killed. Can't say I like it, but at the same time, how many get killed by the pollution of a coal-burning power plant? Seems counter-productive to me. I don't know a tree-hugger that would agree (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: Rolling Blackouts
(...) Of course your state is having a power crisis. Market forces. California is offering more money to the independent power companies than you are.

		Re: Why the founding fathers limited government scope (was Re: Rolling Blackouts

		Re: Rolling Blackouts
(...) California is a study in contrasts and balance. For example, if California is so liberal, how did Pete Wilson and George Deukmajin hold the governor's office for 16 straight years, with the legislature usually within a couple seats of each (...)
