is it possible for a person to "be" nowhere? because that's what utopia means in its original language--greek.
(by be, I mean as in being, not as in location)
most controversial opinion? at this moment, it could be that I think japan needs to get a real military and get a nuke.
I also think that Cardinal Richeliue was alive during the 30 years war (which my poly sci professor didn't seem to agree with)
Oh, and that cuis regio, eius religio (all spelled wrong) was established in 1555 (around then) instead of 1648.
(this is exactly why poly sci people need to know correct history. how the hell are you supposed to draw patterns from past behavior to today's behavior and predict what might happen if you've the wrong history?)

Re: My opinion rocks
one need only to listen to thier rendition of "lemon song" to know that they kicked ass.
Achilles last stand blows away any BS I know. Hell, Down by the Seaside does that.
to tudwell:
stairway is a great song, but not their best. they literally have something for everyone with their music. (except for rap. they never did any of that)

Re: Exclusivity
well, we'll be seeing each other there, but for different reasons. (I reject your God)
My atheist god will put in you in hell, while your theistic god will put me there.
(wait--can I put myself in hell? hmm, God must go and ponder this question, and I'll come back with the answer)

actually, playing the oppostie isn't as far of as you can get. Now, had you been humming Parsely, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme, that would be about as far off as you can get.
There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
WHen she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
And she's buying the stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall,
but she wants to make sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
there's a songbird who sings
sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
you know . . . (live)
There's a feeling I get,
when I look to the west
and my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen
rings of smoke through the trees
and the voices of those who stand looking
that's you . . .(live)
And its whispered that soon
if we all call the tune
then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn
for those who stand long
and the forests will echo in laughter
remember laughter . . .(live)
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,
don't be alarmed now
it's just a srping clean for the may queen
Yes there are two paths you can go buy
but in the long run
there's still time to change the road you're on
Your head is humming and it won't go
in case you don't know
the pipers calling you to join him
Dear lady can you hear the wind blow
and did you know
your stairway lies on the whispering wind
(amazing solo)
And as we wind on down the road
our shadows taller than our soul
there walks a lady we all know
you shines white light and wants to show
how everything still turns to gold
and if you listen very hard
the tune will come to you at last
when all is one and one is all
to be a rock and not to roll
that's what it is . . .(live)
and she's buying a stairway to heaven . . .
Edited by kuresu, : I can't spell laughing.
never mind, I can. the code calls for laugh, instead.
oops.

Re: government funding of cooperatives
what about business that are "L.L.C" instead of "INC.".
the difference is that LLC's are not on the stock market. REI is one such business. Granted, it's a co-op. My uncle's business is also not on the stock market.
How do you determine their "profitablity"

dumBeSEst
says it all. if you're going to use rAndOm caPS, please sPElL correctly.
of course, if you meant to add some force to your argument by mispelling dumbest, it may have just worked.
or were you being funny?
yeah, I'm ambivalent.
