Below Canada and above Mexico!

And yet he still spoke out against blacks serving in the army. And stop assuming that you're so smart and that people who disagree with you don't know anything. If we're talking about basic principals, of course they still apply. I'm sure that Adams didn't believe in murder, and neither does the government today. Hell, neither did Moses thousands of years ago. But what you're saying is that Adams would disagree with what the government is doing today, and I say, "DUH!!!" The Founding Fathers would disagree with many things about our government because their time was incredibly different, and you are very misguided for thinking that their all holy rules are 100% relevant regardless of the times.

Right below Canada and above Mexico.

"Recent polls have shown 1/5 of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?"

Can't we throw these AIG exec. dickholes in jail? Treason maybe?

Adams would have been against economic redistribution, in any form. The amount of money the US has redistributed blatantly this year, is more than most countries have.

If the bailout was a county, it would have had the 13th largest GDP, and that's just one bailout package.

I don't act like I am smarter than the rest, but give me a break. Who in their right mind thinks what we have done over the last 6 months is sane?

I hope no one. So stop defending it!

And yet you still don't understand how the 18th century was different from the 21st century. In the 18th century, there was barely even a middle class and rich elitists pretty much owned the government. Hell, there wasn't even any money to redistribute. At the time of the Founding Fathers, America was, surprise, being founded. No one cared about helping the poor and redistributing money because no one could. Then again, I shouldn't have differing opinions. That makes me insane and makes you angry.

I dunno. I think the real troubling this is that basically the government is voiding agreed opon contracts.

I mean... that's something that usually only third world countries resorts to and tends to hurt your investment base.

I mean who wants to make a deal when they aren't sure whether or not the government will actually honor it.

It's why Iraq is considered a much better place to invest and safer place to get oil then Venezula.

I mean they are basically blackmailing these people.  Whether they deserve their money or not it's in their contracts.

It's really... really stupid... and i'd like one person if favor of it to tell me why it's a good idea.

You keep acting like I am belittling people, yet the only personal attacks I see are these two.

AIG lost 61 BILLION dollars in a quarter last year.

they are using BAILOUT Money to give High rank executives million dollar bonuses over around 170 million!!!
