The stupid Democrats are nearly as bad as the Republicans.
In 2002, the Democrats controlled the US Senate. They had the power to kill the Iraq War Resolution. But that power proved useless when 29 (!) Democratic Senators, including John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden, voted for the war. They could have prevented it, and they didn't even try!
Now we have Obama, who is getting us out of Iraq only to expand our war in Afghanistan.
The two party system is a failure.

Yeah, I think we mean the same thing.
Autogestion is when the workers control their own factories through direct democracy. They continue to produce and sell products, and decide for themselves what to do with the profits.
It's very prevalent in Argentina.

I typically support emplyee-runned business, if by that you mean something along the lines of the guild style system.

How do you feel about autogestion?

Amen!

I couldn't agree with you more.
Have you ever read "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Eric Remarque?

A common slur for American "lack of action" during WWI.
No, I have not read that particular book, nor have I seen the movie renditions of the novel.
Thankfully, our Federal Founders left us with plenty of advice concerning foreign wars, entanglements, and the tyranny of being anything other than a well-wisher to all who would follow our lead in giving life and limb for the ideals we cherish. This is most beautifully seen in President Washington's Farewell Address.

I was just gonna say, one of your statements reminded me a lot of that book.
You said that you don't have any personal problems with the people that our country is fighting. The same is true of Paul Baumer, the main character.
The book is all about the futility of war.
By the way, I totally agree with you. The United States must stop her Imperialism before she destroys humanity completely

Ah. Yes, I have no personal problems with those we are fighting. They have never wronged me, my family, or any of those near and dear to me. This is not to say that nobody has been hurt in the wake of 9-11, but our leaders have made a number of unforgivable mistakes:
1. They intentionally misinformed us concerning WMDs.
2. They assumed the role of military enforcer for the UN.
3. They attacked a nation had nothing to do with 9-11.
4. They continue to proceed with this unjust war and impreialism
