I said that the benefit of road programs, roads, are more tangible then the benefit of a Navy, defense. Roads are more tangible then defense.

I said that I cant have a conversation with the constitution, so I asked bdickens what his opinion was. Because I can have a conversation with bdickens. I specifically said that I was willing to have a conversation about the military, but that my preference was for the other topics.


Anyone want to have a conversation related to the topic of this thread?

How lengthy should our response be? Is this like an essay or a thesis? Are we limited to any particular channel?

"To establish Post Offices and Post Roads"
This will only hurt a little. What comes next, more so.

You could just let me know what it is and I can ask you some questions about it. If you want you can start by briefly describing the benefits that the program creates and why it should be in the purview of the government.

Is that something that you would like to discuss with me?

I saw the OP's question and didn't go any further before. That was weird.

This one feels the same. I tried to resist this one, but it finally sucked me in.

If you guys think this is a trap or something you can send your response in a PM and we can discuss it through PMs. I have simply been introduced to a new idea concerning political discourse through this speech:

and i wish to have a discussion or two to see if it rings true.
