Accountants, lawyers, doctors, et al. all have governing bodies that the have to registar with and pay money to. As an accountant I pay $1000~ a year to my governing body, in return they insure me, and lobby the government to adopt various different accounting standards and etc. So yes most real professionals do belong to unions of sorts.
In the end, this is all much ado about nothing, through 30~40 years of republican, democrat and the entire bady boomer generation incompetencies and entitlement attitude has screwed over at least the next generation or two. It will a long road to recoverery and all the while the international elite/bankers are laughing all the way to the bank.

Sexpendables is up with porn greats like Forest Hump(or sorest rump), A Clear and Pleasant Stranger, Bedman And Throbbin, The Hills Have Thighs, The Loin King and Bridge Over the River KY.
As for the Expendables, not a horrible movie per se, but not something I would pay to see at the theater either.

I know when when the wife and I go there, with our cuban friend to visit her family, the money we give them and the tips we give restuarants workers, taxi and etc. all go right into Castro pocket, nothing like punishing people who are already down their luck. With all the uprising, mabye Cuba will have an uprising and then a popular democratic election.

Clearly they will do that like past republicans did by doubling the national debt (Regan,Bush Sr and Bush Jr all did it) and increasing the size of government. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Republicans are no better then the Democrats at fiscal conservatism.

I know plenty of pot smokers in Canada who buy Canada grown pot, yet drug related killings number in the 10's and mostly is just gangsters knocking off other gangsters. It's Mexicans killing Mexicans.

If Egypt and Tunisia are any sort of example, the people who actually live/work/die in a country are far better at bring about change then any foriegn army can do, with a lot less blood loss. Trillions of dollars spent on something that has been has been, relatively speaking, done free in other countries.

Good to see a few of supporters for a pedophile here (by Italian law). Sex is sex, who cares what two consenting adults do, but sex with a minor is a big no no, ethically and morally.

I'm neither one of them but it's not difficult to formulate a reply;
Bush's last budgeted amount $625 Billion
2008 Bush and Democratic Congress approve 161.7 Billion in additional military funding. 625+161.7 = 786.7 Billion
Obama's Budget; 708 Billion
786.7 - 708 = 78.7 Billion more spent. It's hard for those no sense fiscal management to stay on budget(Democrats and Republicans)but easy to make budget look good. Ironically one could surmise that insurgents in Iraq and Afganistan have better fiscal management measures as they are able to effectively fight against a much better financed army.

Perhaps, they just like to reserve thier rights to bear arms(if they have a second type law). Is that only some have the right to over throw a tyrannical leader?

As was going to say something along the lines of what SolidariTea said, Canada sells large amounts of Marijuana to the US, and yet you don't see beheadings, street blockades and the army attacking drug kingpins. So I don't see why those kind of things had to happen in Mexico.

Why? If a majority of Egyptians want a government lead by the Muslim Brotherhood, no one has any right to interfere. If the majority want a Sharia state, then that is their right to want it. Some vote to not allow gay marriage to be recognized by the state on the religious grounds, limiting some peoples personal freedoms, it isn't undemocratic, simply it is the will of majority of people.

An odd analogy, considering Harper runs a minority government and therefore also doesn't represent the will of all or even the majority of Canadians. How is the Egyptian Army siding with Mubarak a show that the protesters don't represent the will of the majority of the people? How many Despotic governments stay in power only becuase the army supports them (I.E. North Korea). What is apparent is that a significant amount of Egyptians have lost so much confidence in their president that they are willing to take to the street in protest. Mubarak shouldn't step down but should call for an immediate election, proving if the majority of Egyptians have confidence or no confidence in him (The democratic process).

Anyone with firearms and common sense should know to carry one, where it is legal to do so. There are plently of people who complain about people from Pakistan(muslims) trying to impose their laws in United States, now that the shoe is on the other foot...
It seems as though he broke Pakistani law, and if he did, he will have to deal with whatever judgement Pakistani law, judges to be his punishment.

If you look at economic strategies that used lowing taxes, in particular corporate taxes, the end result has always been the same, less taxes = more debt (see the amount of national debt that grew under Reagan, hint: he doubled it). As well less regulation, compare what happened to US banks(less regulated) vs Canadian Banks(more regulated) during the financial "meltdown". The government should deeply cut non-essential program spending, halt a large majority of it's foriegn aid (the US should do this as well) and if they really need to cut taxes, give tax breaks to the largest comsumer base the middle class and they will eventually start consuming more and business entities profits will increase. Otherwise they should focus on paying down debt, interest payments are wasted monies, especially in when it comes to government spending.

Because religion slapped a bomb on itself and killed a bunch of pilgrims? It's always easier to blame religion then it is humanity.

Considering it was America that had to bailout it's banking sector (with the biggest welfare cheque ever written) with Chinese money. It is about America (Canada didn't need to bailout it's banks = no need for Chinese money).
and the hard work of Chinese labourers, which causes a significant amount of USD to leave the US. The same USD that leave the US are then lent back to the US with interest Fees. More commonly known as a broken business model.

Is that to say that there is no room for intelligent, well researched and informed arguments without rhetoric, hyberbole and misinformation?
That being said I don't think it's congress's problem but more their vocal extreme left and right supporters. I don't see these groups turning down there rhetoric, childish agruing is ingrained part their of psyche. If politics in the US stays on the same course a comma is going to be needed in God Bless America. God, Bless America (they need it).
In the end it's rich and elite that walk away laughing, they've been able to fleece the American public for years and no one cares because they are to busy agruing with their perceived enemies on the otherside.

Considering a lot of that work seems to entail seeking bailouts from government (manufactoring, banking, farming, et al.) to cover for market inefficiencies, I would have thought that wining and dining a lender/donor was part of that "work". On the other hand, perhaps Obama should have taken Hu to McDonalds for a supersized big mac meal or shopping at Wal Mart, American customs for average Americans no?

Is that because King is black?
Assumably most people take the holiday off, if it was just another day, why don't people go to work?
