Theoretically, US! That's why the campaigns need reform, and pork projects gotta go! By definition something that isn't voluntary is forced. How does that saying go? The slave is the master's master?

Maybe moreso than it is currently- re: airline & some farm/etc. subsidies. But I like the idea of cheap public transportation, and maintained stuff- and the crazy bit is- holy shit! Do you know how much money even one freaking penny from "every american" /is/? How quickly that adds up? We're spending billions (trillions?) of non-money at the same time, which sucks, but man- think of what we could do if we used those pooled resources for some kick ass shit! That's the optimist in me tho- perhaps humans just can't handle that kind of responsibility. Maybe we have to be all fragmented and only loosly teamed up to really cook. Only looking at the bottom line... It would be hard for a private corporation to spend $300,000 on wet noodle sticking to the wall experiments. Well, hard/er/. Funny question: Would you rather a bunch of people separately come together to accomplish something, or a charismatic leader who gathers people around to accomplish said thing? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:248220 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
