... whatever form it takes. A classic case in point is a government drug treatment center, which reminds me of the definition of a boat ("a hole in the water where you throw money"). These are notorious for extraordinary recidivism clientele. & yes, I've donated to a 12-step programs especially since the government isn't allowed to fund such a successful program, because the reason why it's succeeds precludes its vary funding from a bastardized misreading of the Constitution. But, you knew that too.FWIW, there’s a direct correlation in laxing concerted efforts & results. Since the current scheme is Libertarian as if it would miraculously work here when the results were disasterous everywhere else. It’s always amazing the 3rd option is always removed from consideration (HINT: see above paragraph).
What drives me nuts is the holier than thou attitude the DNC has about soft money when they were recipients of special interest funds ALL along. In most years, the DNC & other groups left of centrist election money exceeds the GOP’s. At least this year, the Republicans finally learned that loophole.
BTW, I’m quite familiar with the redefinition of “Conservative†& “Liberal†in Europe. It reminds me of their redefinition of “Million†in some countries. I forgot to what reference (I think it was monetary) but I read about how it can mean 1e9. Just speculation, but I think it was originally shorthand for a million thousand francs/marks. & FWIW, I’ve heard the British Parliament trying to argue. It’s no wonder they don’t drop trou & finish their debate. I’ve witnessed more intellect amongst the extra chromosome crowd.
