59. It's the UCRP which requires no contribution...

My slip up. But, I suspece, we still have Democrats and a committment to education, and good management to thank for that. Oh, and I guess you can make money out of thin air.

You know what prison guards lobby for? They lobby for laws that require two-way radios with panic buttons and laws that require the prisons to keep a reasonable minimum of guards on duty at one time so that they're not outnumbered in a prison riot. They're the people who are standing between Wackenhut and outrageous profits caused by cutting costs to life-threateningly low levels.

The only reason you want to paint the picture that Democrats are as bad as Republicans is because you hope that, from the ashes, the Liberterian Party will rise. I think your bias prevents you from being honest.

The notion that Davis is worse that the Republicans is laughable. Electricity deregulation, anyone? I'm not saying Democtrats are great, and beyond reproach, but, really, this one's obvious. At least the Democrats are trying to shift wealth and political power to the masses rather than the minority of super powerful corporations.
