Again off topic, but Rosie and friends need to read The Forgotten Man, or the new book Liberal Fascism. Today's democrats running for power want to do things that will wipe out the middle class. U.S. sovereignty will be ceded to some world authority. Taxes will soar. The rich with connections to the power structure will find ways around the tax burden, while other will leave the U.S. and/or take their money elsewhere. Unemployment will rise, the lower class will grown, and the middle class will slowly by stamped out. The economy will be in deep doodoo. I don't even want to think what the price of gas will be.
As for the east, I want to say come back when you have an actual understanding of it, but I know you don't care. I'm inclined to believe that your not so naive that you don't know what is going on, or that you honestly believe it is something other than what it is, or that you really believe the extremists would leave you alone. Either way, I know you don't care. You just want to get a liberal democrat elected.
While I personally believe the effort to transform the middle east is the shining moment of the Bush presidency, I believe we should reject any candidate that is even remotely close to another Bush, in addition to status quo and liberal candidates. Bush is among a growing group of republicans who seemingly wish to take us to the same destination as liberals do, just at a slower pace. He has been a disaster on a number of issues because he has embraced a lot of the nanny state and sovereignty killing stuff that the left is looking for.

Now to throw in something on topic. I have no problem with making a profit. For the most part, a free market can take care of itself. When this doesn't occur, there are legal remedies. The company I work for is not the cheapest carrier on the block, but if they were too high, they would lose enough business to force them to drop prices. Generating a profit allows them to build a better business by having more to invest in new technology. They can attract better employees by paying them more, and in turn providing better service. Having higher rates and being very strict may also help them refine their clientele, and weed out potential problems.
