GODDAMMIT! Down with all this socialized stuff:

[Gabi Hayes]

like police

and

firemen

get it?

where's the OUTRAGE?

pay for it, or don't get it

get it?

[Matsubara]

1. Um, I know you're being sarcastic, but there are greedhead repugs...

...who would LOVE to make such service subject to per-use fees. In Florida, a lot of the city parks already have expensive fees to get in, even on a bike.

They are against socialized ANYTHING.

[sallyseven]

3. I wonder if the jails in the south are privatized?

You know the ones that have poison in their toothpaste from China.

[jwirr]

20. Actually some of them are.

[Gabi Hayes]

40. YES!!!!! socialized risk. private PROFIT!!!!! MORE MORE MORE!!!!

The creation of a prison-industrial complex is one the
BEST (my edit there) things going on. Note there is no contradiction between the facts that prisons are both hugely expensive and very profitable. Just like with military spending, the cost is public cost and the profits are private profits: it's yet another way of funneling public money into the pockets of the rich few. Here are a collection of interesting articles on prison privatization and prison labor.

VIVA!!

5. I know a guy who worked for the CIA (National Reconnaissance Office), but wouldn't admit it,

who doesn't believe in money among other things. his wife, who's in the army, outed him, and he's PISSED about that

he wants to go back to the barter system

police? HA

he's got LOTS of cool guns

[blm]

2. heh....

now that makes the point perfectly clear.

[Gabi Hayes]

4. that dirty commie bastard Michael Moore gets the credit. I wish I

were that clever

down with Chavez!

up with Exxon!

[Gabi Hayes]

6. Oh...and let's ask all those farmers in California and, say, Oregon,

to start paying for their own water

DOWN with fish!

here's my answering machine intro, btw:

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."-Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000

tell it to unca Dick, you dick

[Liberal Veteran]

7. Exactly. And everyone should build their own roads and have their own private military...

...cause only evil commies would want to nationalize national defense!

[Gabi Hayes]

9. See: Indiana Toll Road. See

Blackwater

[Gabi Hayes]

8. anybody know how much drug/health companies pay for advertising/marketing?

I read here that they spend 9 billion on marketing/ads and 4 billion on research

is that correct?

9 billion sounds low

I was at the doctor Wednesday and I noticed a little business card rack he had next to the counter

at LEAST a hundred different cards; many cards deep

maybe more than a hundred

[Gabi Hayes]

10. Down with government programs!

"They want the federal government controlling Social Security like it's some kind of federal program."—Debate in St. Charles, Mo., Nov. 2, 2000

[Gabi Hayes]

11. Why didn't Gore run on that? just use it over and over and over and over and over.....

and over

huh?

[LWolf]

12. GREAT idea!

When I privatize, I expect my income to at least double. It's going to cost you people a generous professional salary commensurate with what other people with MA + earn plus expenses divided by 15, the largest class size that research says is still efficient and effective, for me to make sure your kids are literate and numerate, inquirers and thinkers, while you're at work.

[blondeatlast]

13. Damn that commie pinko socialist water system too! nt

[Gabi Hayes]

17. I mentioned it, sort of, above.

they tried to privatize RAINWATER in Bolivia

that helped bring down the government, and install the first indigenous president they've had, IIRC, whose a true Bolivarian

viva!

[KG]

14. not to mention public schools; an insidious commie plot...

[Gabi Hayes]

15. I left that one alone, because of the huge arguments about it: why it's so bad for so many,

who's at fault, etc.

just this...NCLB is DESIGNED to destroy public education, and bring about private religious schools

[EFerrari]

43. I notice, watching BookTV, that there is a cohort of fake authors

hawking books (propaganda) that put down "government schools". I watched one of these pieces of cR@P! and learned that the answer was to put kids in front of a computer running "educational software".

There is an all out war on our once decent public schools. :mad:

[Iris]

22. yes - forget tax-funded state colleges and universities as well.

Let everyone pay the REAL cost of their tuition.

[Nay]

16. You just saw "Sicko," didn't you?

[Gabi Hayes]

18. No. but I saw him say this on The View....I mentioned it above

If I could think up stuff like that, I'd be on TV, too.

[KoKo]

19. I know...FIRST IT'S THE SOCIALISTS ...then IT'S COMMUNISTS!

They are COMING TO GET US ....AHA!

[EFerrari]

21. Before you know it, we're knee deep in FEMINISTS!

LOL

[KoKo]

23. lol's ......funny but sad because SO TRUE! then it's the GAYS and on and on!

ugh.

[EFerrari]

24. Did you notice that as soon as we had Feminism, the very next day

we had POST Feminism? :hi:

[Gabi Hayes]

28. don't you mean Feminazis?

[EFerrari]

30. That was after the uniforms came in.

:rofl:

[KoKo]

32. Neo-Feminists? HA! Heard Rush one day talking about his date who was

reading "Feminazi Book" when he took her out to dinner...he said that was when he got turned off about the "Feminazi's." (I don't ever listen to him...but had to sit in a car with a person who does)....it was hell listening to that weenie talk about how one date with a female who brought along a book to dinner about female rights turned him off forever.) He claimed she was trying to indoctrinate him!:D

[EFerrari]

34. He was under the mistaken impression that she thought he had

a brain to indoctrinate. lol

[Gabi Hayes]

31. First, they came for my bra........

[EFerrari]

35. then they turned my blender

[Gabi Hayes]

41. OK...got me there.

[EFerrari]

25. Don't forget about those pesky libraries!

[The Backlash Cometh]
