qfnol31 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Posted January 11, 2006 Blah, and it's to be continued! Oh well...maybe it'll be on next! I say this because the scenario is really interesting...it takes place in 2024 when the government tries to take care of all those people without a job. But it doesn't work.

qfnol31 Posted January 11, 2006 Author Posted January 11, 2006 Because I like these types of conversations, why don't we discuss local and state governments? The certainly don't get enough credit, and some are quite odd! Did you guys know that New York has a Republican governor and most of Texas' have been Democrats?

[/quote] Well, I don't know about New York, but Texas was a solidly Democratic state up until very recently. Here is a site which profiles Texas governors: [url="http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/governors/"]http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/governors/[/url] Likewise, have you noticed that the South is largely Republican? It was once solidly Democrat. Captain

Earthsea Annie Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I'd prefer to be standing IN mine than behind them if I were you. But that's just me.

[right][snapback]852852[/snapback][/right] [/quote] And that right there is why I love StarTrek. Startrek, Startrek:TNG, and Startrek:DS9 all gave a lot of effort into the question of humanity, where we are going, and what's wrong with us. Voyager didn't quite capture it I don't think, and Enterprise haha, no comment. But, I am a Republican Evangelical. Although I've been considering leaving the GOP for the Green Party for some time now. So as you can see I am not conservative in fiscal/economic matters. I find it extremely difficult to join the Democrats however as Demo vs Repub is so largely pro-abortion vs anti-abortion and pro-liberal religious agenda vs anti-liberal agenda.

And no more Wheelock ever which is very exciting for me.

[right][snapback]857170[/snapback][/right] [/quote] Yeah, I know, but I'm somewhat of a softie on the social liberal stuff, and in my own upbringing the green party is less branded as pro-abortion than the democrats are. I also have a bit of a green thumb. In Genesis we were commanded to care for the earth and we still have that responsibility. Republicans all too often seem to have no concern at all for it. One of my friends has been a good example of this by saying, "burn the trees down, this world is damned anyway".

Greens are essentially statist socialists, and if in power, would be disasterous for the country morally and economically.
