No. The justification for continual re-examination (or 'monitoring', 'vigilance', or whatever you want to call it) is not dependent on a problem having been detected. It's the other way around - how do you detect endemic problems that emerge over the course of decades unless you're subjecting the status quo to continuous scrutiny?Originally Posted by HDR
Examination itself doesn't mean action or intervention is automatically necessary or desirable.
In wartime there are no economic arguments at all. I've never heard a general say "I can't bomb Baghdad this month because I've exceeded my budget". In wartime you do whatever is required, and we should adopt the principle that in peacetime you do whatever is required - Tony Benn
Your choice of continual was appropriate.
Rather fitting wasn't it?Definition of CONTINUAL1: continuing indefinitely in time without interruption <continual fear>
2: recurring in steady usually rapid succession <a history of continual invasions>

Your choice of "endemic" was interesting.
Verbal flatulence is using big words in an attempt to talk down to others; in this case it is closer to PC liberal racism...Definition of ENDEMIC
1 a : belonging or native to a particular people or country b : characteristic of or prevalent in a particular field, area, or environment <problems endemic to translation> <the self-indulgence endemic in the film industry>
2 : restricted or peculiar to a locality or region <endemic diseases> <an endemic species>
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/endemicKudos for for the excellently camouflaged racism. Our local racists welcome you into their small boring and insignificant lives.
No it doesn't; however, history shows an almost continual stream of action and intervention. As liberals, socialists or leftists can't envision anything past their own agenda they usually make matters worse.
We've found a drilling method which can tap into Bakken oil fields and 0bama blocks drilling. Oil is the past says -0bama because he is so deep in his agenda he can't see all the cars and trucks on the highways. 0bama is so oblivious to anything but his agenda that during worst recession since the Great Depression he expects us to buy GM's Volt?
As I said no one can get further out of touch with reality than a liberal, leftist or socialists. As they can't even admit what they are Progressives are even more out of touch.
Actually that was your choice of word, when you said...
... I just dropped the "ly" off the end and used it in the abstract sense.
Well for the record, this...Your choice of "endemic" was interesting. Verbal flatulence is using big words in an attempt to talk down to others; in this case it is closer to PC liberal racism...
characteristic of or prevalent in a particular field, area, or environment
... is the sense in which the word "endemic" was used. Would you like to have another attempt at dismissing me on a personal level as some kind of -ist ?
Your attempts to discredit me based on dubious inferrences are becoming quite trite and add nothing of value to the thread.
Thank you for acknowledging that point without resorting to baseless, vitriolic accusations...

Endemic was your choice of words and all I did was post the definition.
So how was I painting you as anything other than providing a definition? Are you implying the definition is incorrect? Should I apologize for quoting a dictionary?
Whatever finger endemic points was the one you provided.
All I did was define your point minus the verbal flatulence.
