So much was beyond his control and not really his fault.1) Dot-com bust 2) 9-11 attacks 3) Morgage crisis And perhaps others. Signing as many money bills as he did may not have been so good for our economy but it sure kept the Dems from attacking him like they did when Gerald Ford vetoed so many bills back in the 70's (an action which actually ended up helping the economy a bit). I heard that a recent Nobel-prize winner for economics claimed that if Bush's tax cuts had been greater and more frequent, our economy might be significantly better than it is now. He was criticized by many (probably Kensians) for his remarks. |

fuzzy logic wrote: Dearborn Michigan? Isn't that the city where Hawkeye Pierce wanted ribs--specifically Adam's Ribs? I remember watching that episode, but it's been over 20 years. I thought Adam's Ribs was someplace in Maine, where Hawkeye Pierce was from. |

'Moses was probably also on drugs when he saw the "burning bush," suggested Shanon, who said he himself has dabbled with such substances.'This guy is trying to project his own experiences onto a historical figure! Problem I have with his argument is that I've been told that those who indulge in psychedelics often feel extremely empowered (able to perform super-human tasks like flying, etc.); but Moses was VERY TIMID regarding God's commision for him to confront Pharoah while seeing the burning bush. Baalam may have used drugs to achieve his "trance state" while prophesying, and apostate israel may very well have used drugs while worshipping on "every high hill" and "under every green tree", but to automatically impune the more faithful Israelites of what the Bible calls "sorcery" is just plain unfair. Anything and everything that burned in the temple/tabernacle (sacrifices, incense, oil-burning lamps, etc.) was made of standard substances, not drugs, according to Biblical accounts. |

Dr Roger Clark wrote: "Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment." (Ecclesiastes 11;9) VERY sobering passage, as is a similar one in Isaiah 50:11, geared toward those who would justify themselves rather than trust in the Lord. |
