@PowerCow,Shouldn't be able to gamble on credit? Does that include all the money people take out of their houses when they refinance?

@PowerCowThat's not the ONLY difference. The stock market allocates capital to businesses.I understand your point, though. We sanction some risks and prohibit others.

[quote]Because congress has the right to regulate interstate commerce[/quote]Which they voted into law themselves. Along with the Federal Reserve and Federal income taxes.Americans sat by and did nothing, now look at the result.Bush is right about one thing: freedom isn't free, it must be fought for and protected.That obviously doesn't include "pre-emptive" invasions based on suspicion alone.

@ Subcranium"Thats not the ONLY difference.
