So they only have the "right" to determine their own destiny if they determine it in a way you deem satisfactory?

That's interesting.

What's the alternative? Freeing them for what? The UN coming in to rip them off? The french? More islamakazis? Someone will fill the void, if we do not. I tend to believe we ARE better than the rest.

You know, I've been thinking. Why don't we apply these same policies to domestic issues? I mean, really, we have the same concerns, right? People not being "responsible" enough to choose their own destiny?

What we ought to do is have a Government department--we'll call it the Department of Homeland Compassion and Equity--and it this Department will engage in extensive research and then present to Congress a report, the contents of which will report the absolute best way for every American to spend his money.

Then, once the report is adopted by Congress, businesses will quit paying salaries, but instead each worker will receive vouchers for different items--those items deemed to be the best comsumption for his worth. Then, he can go to stores and redeem his vouchers for the best possible products. This way, we won't have to worry about people not spending their money well, and everyone will receive optimum consumption.

Obviously we'll need to hammer out the details, but I'm excited.
