so predictable.
your point-by-point analysis of my post smacks of *personal attack*, but i'll ignore that.
putting the God myth in school textbooks just because many believe it is hogwash. people used to believe the earth was flat. some still do. the god myth was created by primative men who had no knowledge of science or scientific method. they believed in a geocentric universe and the bible (i assume this is your myth of choice) reflects this. If the bible is the word of god, how come he thought the earth was in the center? how can your god be wrong? i thought he was omnipotent.
so many believe in the god myth because it is taught to children before they have any reasoning or logic skills. kids would believe that the color blue is green if you told them that from the time they were babies.
to incorporate the god myth into public education, to me, is like teaching Tolkien as fact.
Here's a pretty good demolition of the
Creationist Agenda and the God Myth in general;

religion kills.
more folks have died because of your god, or their god, or someone else's god than in all the traffic accidents, diseases and other causes put together.
believe what you please, but don't teach fantasy bs in the school system as 'truth'. We have come a long way in the last thousand years, why undo it?
anyway, sorry to go off topic like that.

pretty reasonable arguments for a rightie except that your characterizing the deficit as something that hasn't happened is bull. there are CONTRACTS in place already. the money is SPENT just like your car payment for the next whatever period. just because you haven't received your bill yet doesn't mean it won't come.
unfortunately, every month the same bills show up.
California, and every other state gets about the same bills each month/quarter/year. unless there are big disasters, most stuff is already calculable.
the deficit is real.
arnold is in over his head and we can have another recall if we get tired of him.
i think the ONLY reason that people voted for him is that most people think arnold is his character that he plays in the movies. everyone knows the name, so he was bound to win right out of the box. once people realize he's just a guy, the novelty will wear off and we'll be saddled with the very reality of a republican gov in california.
i expect more recession, job losses and people and business flocking OUT of the state in the next several years.
i have been considering moving out of state.
