Just a reminder that the president is going to address our nation in approximately half an hour. After that, I'll anxiously look forward to reading your comments on how well he did after listening to the views expressed by all sides represented on the PBS New hour.

It's the company that I keep ... perhaps I've been spending too much time in the Matrix and it's time I unplug, return to Zion, and get some R & R with Trinity. |

Socialist Insecurity reform ??
Hey lets say we are going to let you have a private account that's all yours. But Wait a minute, did anyone catch the word voluntary W. used?
Now if it's voluntary why would anyone need a number?
Oh . . . Yea it's only the selection of whether you want traditional "benefits", or a "private" account.
Now think about this one for a while. It will still be controlled by the controllers; which means some terrorcrat in the District of Criminals will be selecting the funds you can pick from to gamble. But notice W. said "broadly based" funds.
Well can I buy gold with that account?? I bet not.
I can see it now, some big fat cat with deep pockets, paying off the terrorcrats who select which funds the people can select in their "private account". And who cares that it is a marginal to negative return, the terror crats are getting rich while the fat cat has just found a new investment revenue stream for a venture that is consistently in the red.
Hey I have an Idea!! Let's make the whole system voluntary. Then those that are not mathematically challenged can manage their own affairs.
You know they say when a president starts talking about and quoting Lincoln we are in for a war.
I say when a president starts talking about and quoting FDR we are in for more government control and takeover!

How dare you blaspheme our president! Neo, Thanks for the correction. I'm sorry. Did I forget to end my rant with Hail Ceasar? ;D |

H,
I'd say the same thing to all enemies of the state, without preference. It's our standing orders not to discriminate due to our solemn oath and pledge to provide equal protection under the law. Wake up!

Per your request Neo, here is the public post of my reply to you" And Now for something totally different: H, I'd say the same thing to all enemies of the state, without preference. It's our standing orders not to discriminate due to our solemn oath and pledge to provide equal protection under the law. Wake up! Neo: Who is our? Are you also agent smith in disguise?  So now I'm not only a publicly self-admitted blasphemer against the religion of state I am also an enemy? (By implication of the use of the word all). ** Edited to correct a spelloing issue ** ;D |

I'm the Oracle pretending to be Agent Smith who was temporarily in control of Neo's residual self image.
You'd have to be very familar with all three films to decipher that statement. Oooh--De-Cypher!

Ahh, Got it now. . .
And the 10 DVD Set BTW.
The philosophical DVD and the Science behind the fiction documentary is extraordinairly revealing.
I would recommend the set for that 1 DVD.

The only "Agent Smif" I'm aware of is the guy in MEN IN BLACK.
