Why do people believe that Republicans are going to do anything about illegal immigration? If anything is true about the Republican Party, it is that it is first and foremost the party of Capitalism, and that means money. It doesnt take much vision to see that whatever walk they may walk, their "social" legislation never gets in the way of those with money making more money, and illegal immigration makes money. In fact, to the pure Capitalist, anything that does not make a maximum profit is considered unethical, which is why corporate buyouts often occur even when said buyout is bad for everybody but the stockholders.

Okay, I've got a question: In a polygamist society, it seems like you'd have a lot of disaffected unmarried men, since in all of them that I've heard of, it's only good for the gander, not the goose. This means that if the practice were widespread, you'd either have a lot of lonely, angry, single men or a lot of cheating. Seems to me that polygamy only works if the practicing group is small and has an adjacent society to siphon women-folk off from.
Or maybe it works just like money, wherein the guys with all the money get all the girls, (in addition to everything else). When you come right down to it, Republicans ought to be in favor of polygamy, since it's really just sexual capitalism. To insist on "One Man/One Woman" smacks a bit of socialism, doesnt it?

Can you see a time in the future when governments such as Burmas are charged with crimes against humanity, and world powers step in to eliminate the problem? No? Me neither. Seems like a good idea, though. I mean, if there was a city in your state being run by a criminal gang, you'd expect the state cops, if not the FBI, to bust up the gang and return the city to the people's control (Hey! Stop that snickering! Dont think I dont hear you). Call it humanitarian colonialism, where instead of invading a country to steal its resources, we do so to eliminate human suffering.

If Barack Obama loses the nomination and/or the election, it will be because he's played the gentleman card, and in America, the concept of gentlemanly behavior is dead. We've decided that gentlemen are "elitists" and would rather have oafs and bullies make our decisions. Take that England!
