You don't have to be a libertarian to believe in the concept of Natural Rights, AB, you just have to believe that Locke was on to something. There's no monopoly on the concept by any one side. I am not a libertarian, I prefer to think of myself as at least trying to be a pragmatic. I occasionally sc...

It is irrelevant what their tax rate is. The british colonies actually had a much much lower tax rate than that of England, yet they still deserved representation in Parliment. It is irrelevant who they will elect or how that person might vote, that is the choice and privilage of the residents of DC...

Yes, but considering there's a very good chance that the next president will be of African descent, passing the bill now could help it pass again in 2009, where it would be signed into law by President Obama. (I suspect Clinton, Richardson, or Edwards would sign it too.) Bush might also reaize that ...

Bush has threatened vetoes and not gone through with it before. It is entirely possible that he will cave in when he realizes that this could potentially severely threaten his party's efforts to reach out to black voters. Also, even if he does veto it, it can still help the bill pass when the next p...

That's it John, you're reading a poem at my wedding. A long and sentemental one.

I think the point of the ceremony is that you care enough about the bride and/or groom to sit through hours of boring speeches and what-not. It's a "misery loves company" thing.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but getting a bill to the floor of congress is a lot further than "a bunch of activists." Now this actually has a good amount of interest outside of DC, but its a good idea to keep pushing. The bill left committee with a vote of 24-5, indicating that it has a v...
