Enemy of my enemy, and don't look gift horses in the mouth. For the moment at least. Agreed. Dubya is at least good enough for government work, as my dad used to say. Every year hundreds of people hurt themselves tripping over shoelaces that aren't properly tied. If Algore had been elected there would probably already be a multibillion-dollar Department of Shoe-Tying, most likely with bipartisan support, to spend a mountain of cash on Shoe-Tying Awareness. Okay, maybe not. But the DST is less looney than some of Algore's real proposals and at least slightly more looney than Dubya's most left-leaning ideas. --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Al G. woulda slapped in nationwide price fixing, and tried to force the electricity industry to employ unionized workers by the thousands to pedal their way to power generation on excercise bikes. Or made public power contribution and healthy excercise pedalling compulsory by every household. Or just plain told everyone to go back to horse-and-buggy and hand-waved fans. scuppering the OECD all your money are belong to us initiative, etc. Scuppered not. The battle isn't won yet. The OECD is taking a new tack. But Bush is their enemy - he sees plainly enough that the USA is the worlds biggest tax haven and stands the most in harm's way. Enemy of my enemy, and don't look gift horses in the mouth. For the moment at least. Well, I stretched my brain as far as possible to see Bush as a gift horse, and couldn't pull off that feat. Gift horse: as in getting something for nothing? I don't believe I can get something for nothing. Particularly from a politician or a government. Gift horse as in: getting a helluva lot more than anyone could have expected. Most politicians would have handwaved kyoto through and at most stalled the ratification. Most would have compromised away the tax cut idea into a blatant tax raise plus handouts for their good buddies. Most would have dropped the missile protection thing by now. Modulo the deliberate weakness of the executive in a checks-and-blances system, Bush basically seems to have taken the I said it so I'll do it attitude that's normally only prevalent in politicians with no chance of ever getting a chance to do. He's just about as far from Libertarianism as Gore is. That's silly. Nobody could say the Moon is only a short walk away, but it's still kinda near compared to Andromeda. --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
