i don't think a lack of testing is the problem. tho, i due agree with you that this "mandatory" move in texas by perry's "executive order" was wrong. it's obvious that he tried to slip this into law without any challenge. from what i read, it is more about trying to help out their buddies at places like merck and pfizer. big drug companies that cannot maintain their size with slow sales of a new drug. by getting governors to mandate the sho

Seriously, I find the discovery to be very exciting! me too. maybe we'll start directing our "messages" we beam out lookin for life in their direction and possibly start listening from there (and other places like it as we find em) as well.

Verdict is... I have loser friends. They didn't want to DO anything. They came over, ate my cupcakes, some people stayed to watch "The Holiday", but nobody stayed until the end. i hope ya don't take offense to this, but it sounds like the change in scenery will at least benefit ya in the sense that you might find some less fairweather type friends. maybe it was just the wording, but it sounds like you gave a sh*t and they didn't...just wanted some free s

It is a matter of policy that he would not be told until he was out of the war zone. it wasn't him being lied to in a war zone that is at issue. EVERYONE was lied to and the tillman's were stonewalled from the truth till the inspector general and family pressure became too much and they were able to bring their case before a congressional committee that wasn't a rubber stamp for the administration. and as far as "policy" goes, here's how one of

Every day, the American political landscape is peppered with talk and debate about Iraq. One side talks about a responsible departure while the other uses inflamatory language to try to make the case for surges and further commitments in the region. T.B.T.K. is an old commonly used set of letters around capitol hill. It stands for "too big to kill." It is com

During war you rarely tell the people what is happening until the war is over. During WWII well, unfortunately for that argument, this is not 1941. the facts are that when wwII happened, we were in the industrial age. today, we are in the information age. in the past, leaders used the ability to squelch truth to rally masses and start or perpetuate conflicts that today might not happen if people knew the truth. i don't see the ability to control a free

South Carolina Hosts 1st Presidential "Battle Royale" in Politics JoeUser Forums

This political season reminds me of Christmas. Especially the Christmas's of the 80's and 90's. Not because I have the feeling that it's Christmas morning and waiting under the tree is a super-duper present I had been hoping for. And not because I have any renewed feelings of hope, love and grace. It is because this Presidential election cycle

Reply to Never Argue With A Cop...Good Advice? in Misc JoeUser Forums

B]About the only arguing that should normally done is to say "no" when asked by an officer if you mind if they search an area and even then, think carefully. As LW points out, they'll just use your "no" answer as probable cause for why they need to search even more.[/B] from my experience, the "no" when asked for permission to search will be followed by a call to the canine unit or the bluff of such if none is available. they can "detain" you there for a reasonable amount of time (i do

Bush Divorced From Reality. But Not Cause Sen. Reid Says So in Politics JoeUser Forums

Yesterday, Vice President Cheney, fresh out from the hospital, where he doesn't poll any better than anywhere else, and Sen Harry Reid, fresh from Barnes & Noble, where he was looking for a copy of "The Idiots Guide To Leadership," again bumped heads in what has developed into quite a little feud. Of course, this version of the feud is advantageous to the White House

The controversy involving Pat Tillman isn't about Pat Tillman. It's about you and me, the American people. And it's not really a controversy at this point. At this point , the evidence is alarmingly clear. We were lied to. the use of Pat Tillman's death as a Madison Ave. promotion tool by the executive branch of our government was not only wron

Today, Vice President stood up before the cameras following his hospital visit involving a blod clot in his leg. Cheney blasted Reid for taking 3 positions in the last 6 months on the war. And Reid has. He has gone from saying there will be no defunding of the troops, to saying that there will be a condition based bill, to suggesting that Senator Russ Feing
