Never manage to solve them? Well DAMN.. then WHY am I working 12-on, 12 off, 7 days a week, to protect our country?

You know what? Nevermind... That is your right to feel that way... go ahead, and I wlil continue to protect that right, either way..

Ray,

Read on. I'm not anti-military. In fact, that is one of the few things the Federal Government should be doing, national defense.

However, when I talk about managing problems, I was a bit vague and should elaborate. I mean things like affirmative action, global warming, the spotted owl, and so forth.

Yes, I thank you for defending our nation, and you will check these boards, you will find that I am a veteran as well.

Please name for me a government agency that has actually solved the problem it was charged with. You won't find many, because that generally means they put themselves out of business. Instead, they manage the problem, to ensure that the bueracracy survives.

I hope this clarifies my point. I am not anti-American or anti-Military. I am however, very much anti large, expanding, intrusive centralized government.

FWIW,

Hey man I was with you the whole time, and FWIW didn't think your point needed clarifying either; but whatever.
