I'll bet even janeway has a scene using that combo. Once again: drop kick :)

No one can touch the old show, imo, for it's playhouse-threatre like quality. classic drama, classic themes.

James T, for 2 words: drop kick

I think most? of shillary's backers would rather see a neo con if they can't get their neo lib.

The obvious answer to this nonsense is public financing and use of public 'commons' (including airwaves) to provide equal opportunity for all. If private money wants to support a person or issue, then they need to give equal amounts to all concerned parties. No advertising 1 week before elections, national standardized election paper ballots (no voting machines), standard methods to secure ballots and various other rules are needed. This would not be easy to set up, and would be imperfect always, but it's the only way out. No chance of clinton supporting this imo, and probably not obama, but who knows.

repectfully disagree, they continue to live in a hell-hole. It wasn't like that for them before Israel.

At the risk of posing easy answers: there are 2 facts to consider imo: 1. Compared to where they used to be (pre-1947), the palestinians got royally screwed by the establishment of Israel. They should get at least the pre-1967 borders back. 2. Israel is the big dog and they abuse the crap out of the palestinians. These 2 facts alone are sufficient for anyone to have genuine sympathy for the palestinians. All the other arguments here are just cirmcumstantial evidence compared to these facts. Take any people except maybe Amish and Buddists, put them through the same thing the Palestinians went through, and it's not suprising how horrible some of thier actions are. After what the Jews have been through, it's also not surprising how they are acting either.
