    Even leaders that rise up eventually will have to encounter each others concepts as to how to lead. Compromise is a necessary norm for a Nation's Economy.

    In some others areas it is not. In some there is No Compromise.

    See, I would've thought for sure you'd banged sea monkeys to idolize Jesus - I suppose we all have our own misconceptions about one another.

    Does the law know about your medical mary jane status Alias, last I checked, Idaho's pot laws were pretty stout - and you're a dittohead - it wouldn't bode well for you in the end if you'd got caught.

    Stances on issues shouldn't be relegated to political ideology, as if that were the reason seems to be a common trend on this and many other forums.

    Never said I lived in Idaho. I live in Washington right near the state line with Idaho and near Sandpoint. Don't worry, I'll steer. You just sit back and enjoy the ride.

    I don't get wrapped up with other's political ideologies, they're irrelevant when discussing stances on issues anyways, unless they are the issue - then I'm usually mocking them for groupthink or herd instinct behavior.

    Sandpoint is about thirty plus miles away from the border if I remember right, Eastern Washington sucks - the complete opposite of Northern Idaho, it's a sad existence - I now know why you post the way you do.

    In this part of the world, thirty miles is "near". Yes, this has been a sad experience. Have a nice day.

    Interesting comment, that last.
    If "the time of war" is at an end, does that rule out U.S. military action in Syria or war on Iran?
    Setting aside the 14,000-mile round trip to Afghanistan to do an end zone dance on the anniversary of Seal Team Six's dispatch of Osama bin Laden, Obama seems to have boxed in his Republican rivals.
    His assurance that our wars are ending and our troops are coming home reflects the national will. And his partnership agreement with President Hamid Karzai and pledge that a U.S. force will remain to train the Afghan army and prevent al-Qaida's return inoculates him against the charge that he is cutting and running.
    Yet The New York Times was disappointed.

    Just another worthless Obama speech....................
    An extraordinary tremor runs through the spinal marrow of Europe. It feels it no longer recognizes itself, no longer resembles itself, and is about to lose consciousness.

    Yet in that thirty mile span, it's like night and day - happy lucky go Idahoans going about their day with the occasional problematic moose to worry about - contrasted and compared to the dirty and unhappy unemployed meth-mouth addled toothless Eastern Washingtonians blaming everyone else in the world for their woes, having to live in envy over their neighbors across the state line, ever consider moving - I know, not Idaho, you'd end up in the slammer toss'n salad but to another location that's not as despondent as Eastern Washington? Olympia or even Northeastern Oregon and you'd definitely be better off than Eastern Washington.
