The best way to strengthen the gene pool is to become the target of genocide. Not if it is were thoroughly. The Germans killed six million jews and there were twenty million in the world the. They were not thorough. Besides which cultural adaptation trumps genetic variation. The human race has been evolving by non genetic means since the end of the last ice age. Culture is everything, race is nothing. The instruments of cultural adaptation and evolution are memes, not genes. Bob Kolker |

If you're going to do it, do it publically. The way the US executes people is entirely ineffective, hidden away. Make it public (and get rid of the lethal injection- go back to firing squad, hanging or Ol' Sparky), so potential bad guys can see the end result of their actions. I happen to not like the death penalty, mostly on account of the way its done. However, if you are going to do it, then *do it*. Do you suppose it would have been a deterrent to conversion if that guy in Afghanistan had been given lethal injection, hidden where nobody can see? There is nothing like a public hanging or beheading to put the Fear of God in the People. Witnessing a lethal injection is like watching paint dry. Boooooring. Bob Kolker |

No. The entire problem with radical Islam can - and likely will - be solved with a few very intense strikes, not even nuclear. What's needed to win a war is that the enemy has to have their will broken. They are crazy. The only way to break their insane will is to destroy their bodies. The Germans and the Japs did not have the Jihad Meme. Bob Kolker |

The second jury was illegally constituted to review the a decision on the same accusation. Actually not. The civil case was for monetary damages flowing from the act of homicide, not the homicide itself. One case was for a felony, the other for a tort. I'm not denying that it was permitted based on that reasoning. I'm denying the basis for that reasoning. Once OJ was found 'not guilty' no jury should be permitted to review those facts. Ever. That's the fundamental issue here. The 'twin' systems of 'civil' vs ' criminal' are permitting something that is not allowed - the review of a jury verdict by another jury. I *know* that US Supreme Court says its ok. I disagree with them, and think that the Constitution and the Foudners agree with me. Note well - if he's found guilty in the criminal case, then there would be no prohibition against a monatary judgment in a civil case. The jury in the civil case is not deciding if he did it or not, but if he should ALSO pay restituion (as opposed to just criminal penalties). -Stephen -- Space Age Cybernomad Stephen Adams (remove SPAM to reply) |

"Atlas Bugged" wrote in message ... The "wars" in Iraq and Afghan have actually been enormous welfare programs. Had they been real wars, the other nations would have sobered up and the people there would have killed off their own terrorists. The real problem is that we went in trying to be their friends. We should *first* have made it clear what it is like to be our enemy. This is what happens when we take classics like The Prince and The Art of War out of the public schools. Given a choice between living in secular peace or religious war, they'll give it up sooner or later. The amount of bloodshed will be up to them, but I think you will see a fast rise of reason to the top of the heap. Genocide is applicable when your national territory has been invaded. Thus, if US territory is invaded, we have a duty to start with NBC weapons on enemy territory, including civilians, until they surrender. Since we invaded Iraq, such weapons would be entirely inappropriate. |

wrote: Article III Section 1. The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. RIGHT THERE BOB. The Constitution ordains the Supreme Court and Congress establishes the inferior courts. The Constitution does no such thing. It ordains that the Congress shall vest judicial power in the SC and inferior courts. Congress is fully responsible for the SC and the lower courts. They are not the third branch of the federal govt. In any case Judges serve for life. They cannot be removed except to blatant misbaviour and moral terpretude. In short, we have an indepdendent judiciary. The fact that Congress appoints judges to serve for life and removes them by impeachment argues that Congress is the controlling agent of judicial power. Why do I have to the read the U.S. Constitution to you. Can't you read it yourself? You need to comprehend what you read. 1) Judicial power is established and controlled by Congress, not the courts. 2) Nowhere in the Constitution is there anything that even remotely argues for the SC to be the third branch of the federal govt. The SC like the federal courts depends on Congress for its establishment and maintenance. -- "A politician's neck should always have a noose around it. It keeps him upright." -Robert Heinlein |

Texas did not sign the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. It did sign an agreement to end hostilities when the Union Army showed up on its doorstep later. Even then Texans continued to prosecute the War for 1 1/2 years after the surrender at Appomattox. Once again you like so many other Americans are confusing Texans with people who live in America. Texas is a whole other country and I hope our little chats are enlightening you about that fact of reality. -- "A politician's neck should always have a noose around it.

As the bible says: There is a Bomb in Gilead. What's God going to say when Iran gets nuclear weapons: "Oops!" All I can say is thank God Bush was appointed president by the NWO because I would not want to think what a completely ****ed up mess we would be in if Gore or Kerry had been appointed. They and the leftist queers would not have had the guts to invade Iraq or Afghanistan and therefore we would not have a strong military presence on both sides of Iran. You want a strong military solution - well, be glad Bush gave it to you. -- "A politician's neck should always have a noose around it. It keeps him upright." -Robert Heinlein |
