Easily the best thing I've read since The Game.

When history is rewritten, you know the media will blame the record on the NCAA investigation.

Going to have to drop a C note on Henderson, tough to bet against Jackson, though.

Been downloading since Sunday and am at only 62%. Usually only takes a day, is there something I need to be checking? TIA.

Navy, my secret decoding ring was guessing it had something to do with his advisers. Seems like they could easily bring him in as an athlete to get around the only one RB problem.

Will the contribution to the economy from an educated bottom 20% come close to the cost of educating them? Or is it instead a huge drain of limited resources. It so happens our public schools are set up to meet your standards and I doubt if you can find too many people that are excited about...

Again, it comes back to leadership. Most of us are followers, we just need someone worth following.

Education has been brought up as a major problem yet our college system is the best in the world and attendance is at an all time high. So I doubt if educated people is this country's biggest problem. Independence from foreign oil was brought up. How bad can our independence on this oil be if...

As for an America 2.0, I don't think we need to reinvent the wheel. Our founding fathers wrote a powerful document that lead this country to greatness. The problem is the politicians have attacked it with either amendments giving them more power or they have totally ignored it. The question...

Been here in the 80s and what happened? We went mean and lean and those that couldn't were eliminated. Made major investments in our infrastructure which carried us into this century. How do you win this battle when it is so subjective. Some of our born agains can give the Moslem's a serious...

I think oil is just the tip of the iceburg. There are tons of other corporate interests out there that shape our foreign policies.

Tomorrow works for me. Seriously, I think we first need to come to a consensus on what is a newer, better, faster, shinier base. Is God part of this base, are we capitalist or socialists or a combination, where does defense and police fit in, are we a democracy or a republic, and on and on. I...

Agree, but if an emergency does pop up IMO we can handle it.

Being #2 or being second class are two completely different situations. Why do you think we've lost this war? Sounds exactly like what people were saying about Japan in the 80s. Once China's economy matures, they will go through the same growing pains Japan did and then we'll see who will win...
