Reply to If you could build a perfect car in Misc JoeUser Forums

i'll get another perfect car (at least one that "pursues perfection") when i trade in my Lexus and get another. the thing that keeps me from doing that now is the fact that my ES has been perfect over the years...only oil changes and a little wear n tear mainenence. and everytime i go look for a new one, i get harshly reminded of how good it is not to have a car payment. something i had from the 80's till i paid this car off years back. the

Keith Joins Me...In Blasting the Democrats and Their Failure in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Last night, Keith Olbermann gave one of his special comments. This time, he was not primarily focused on the President or Vice President and their failed Iraq policy, but rather the Democratic Congress folding to the President after recieving a clear mandate last fall from the voters. For those who claim that "all we do is bash the President" should read this. And tho

Yup, genocide works wonders. as stated in the article. this has nothing to do with the morality of abortion. it is about the real reasons crime went down in the 90's despite what giuliani and others want to claim. you should read freakonomics gid...you'd like it. some real "outside the box" thinking.

How about I chime in and tell you that since the roads are built with my tax money, just the same as everyone else's, that all HOV lanes should be opened to *all* users period an interesting take

Your last line basically gives me veto power over abortion, doesn't it? baker,,,you seem to think that i've made up my mind on abortion. that might serve yer lil rant here, but it's hardly the case. if you notice the title,,,this is a question. a question you haven't even come close to answering in between yer rhetoric. but i can see the subject itself gets yer panties all up in a bundle...that's kinda funny. lighten up francis <img src="http

but how an oil company runs its business is the business of the individual voter? it is when the business is anti competitive and manipulates the market.

Giuliani: The Biggest Benefactor Of Legalized Abortion? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Presidential candidate and ex-NYC mayor, Rudy Giuliani has been running his campaign on 2 themes. Both of which are pretty much false. The 1st is his "9/11" experience. Giuliani's ads love to show him walking the streets with his team after the twin towers were struck. It looks good. There's only one problem. The only reason they are "out on the streets" is

Reply to Giving Truckers The HOV Lane in The Environment JoeUser Forums

ONe problem (at least on this coast) is that the HOV lanes are designed to get you INTO a city fast. Most truckers are trying to get around the city, so it would not do them much good. perhaps...i do wonder how our resident trucker mason feels about this. perhaps he can give us some insight into his experiences and whether or not the idea would be worth pursuing.

My wife Colleen gets to ride in the HOV lane alone due to her spending the extra money for a hybrid car, then spending more money for the acsess stickers on all four sides of her car... kinda like al gore and his carbon credits, eh?

Reply to Why Wait For A Census Or Trust A Poll??? in Politics JoeUser Forums

IN a democracy, which we are not. We are a representative Democracy, and as such the "one person, one vote" does not apply. It would require a complete reworking of the constitution, and then the dangers of a pure democracy in an imperfect world takes root. no it doesn't require any constitutional reworking. it is simply a non binding survey, like a census. of course, there will be an ad campaign to make people aware. and i think educating the tax prep

Giving Truckers The HOV Lane in The Environment JoeUser Forums

In the 80's, highway designers and engineers came up with a plan to alleviate America's roads from growing gridlock on our highways. Their idea, at least on paper, was a good one. It was commonly reffered to as the "HOV" lane. HOV stood for high occupancy vehicle. The plan was simple. Build these special roads with a clear path to home or work that could byp

for those wondering...the stat is not from the NYT. it is from a study conducted in both the 80's and 90's and is reported by a university . the times actually puts the number a little low, like i did. the actual termination rate is 92%. below is a NIH site that reported the findings. there are other sources that report sim. information. the times is not the source however. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=Displ

I think a doctor and a patient should make the decision RE: abortion. And they should live with the consequences. As long as they foot the bill, not the taxpayer. If the taxpayer foots the bill, the taxpayer should set the restrictions. Its. That. Simple. that's a valid view of course. but, i am really talking more about the shifting morality tho. and despite the recent advancements in technology that guy cited that can detect (only 87% of the time, com
