my 2 cents

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/irregardless
—Usage note Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.

In truth, the world is and has always been spherically regardless of hopes and dreams. :wink:

(time out greenie). Let's compare your belief that soldiers are dying for oil to ... civilians who choose to die from driving in crashes. :wink: Now which group looses more lives and money each year?

You're picking and choosing politics.
