As I said on the other blog, the mines in question had been told repeatedly that they weren't keeping to the safety standards we have NOW. It's irrational to believe that they would have been keeping up even more safety standards than that. But Col said it might have been a lightning strike. (DJBandit l

BTW, if they believed those systems may have worked and they cared enough about their own lives, they could have bought those systmes themselves since GPS systems are not that expensive. Have you even done research on how often miners die in these mines? Maybe you should, you will realize that there are more people to blame than just Bush. Not that you care, the only ones that matter are those who died while Bush was in office. As usual, it be

KEY WORD - MIGHT. They may have lived as well. We will never know since King George stopped the requirement. This is one of the changes he now is considering. Bush cares for ONE THING-- Higher Corporate Profits regardless of the impact on ANYTHING ELSE! And who exactly profited from him stopping this? B

To some immature oafs, "freedom of speech" seems to mean they should be able to do or say anything they want, any time they want, when where they want, simply because they want to. The hypocritical thing about her is, she expects everyone to bow down and listen to her rantings, but doesn't think anyone else should have the ri

You are wrong. Bush has now said we need to do more to help mine safety. Accidents will happen. In fact the accident that killed 12 miners was believed the result of lightning. If The GPS proposal was not stopped, we would have known were the miners were and be better able to rescue them. No you are wro

Everything in its proper place, that's what my dad always tough me. She should have been thankful and felt lucky to have been invited to such an event. She should have respected the place and the people there, including the president. This is not a place to make spectacles. Nothing should could have done before or after the event outside of it. Freedom of expression does not give you the right to disrespect others. Shameful if you ask me, to her, her

It sounds like she wasn't really covering it up, she had a jacket on. It also sounds like it wasn't part of some devious plan she had because her going to the SOTU was a last minute thing. I find it interesting how you chose to defend a woman who has done so many wierd things to make her point and belie

I have often wondered since when is making a lot of money so bad? I mean, isn't that the purpose of every business? I have always said that things are not as valuble as they say but as valueble as people are willing to pay. I know gas is not exactly something we can just go get somewhere else, after all Exxon probaly owns many of the brand name gas stations and some or the nameless or personally owned ones as well. But maybe people should learn to wast

I feel sorry for him. I don't think he's right (in the head, I mean). OCD or something. I kina pity him. I could only pitty him if I actually knew he was sick in the mind, a peperoni short of a meat pizza, had a screw lose, but I don't know for sure. I remember hearing that people don't go to the cr

However, now we see these choices have negative consequences. Since the actions that would have helped locate the miners was stopped by Bush, WHO IS AT FAULT? This is where I can't help but start off by calling you an idiot Col. Maybe it never occurred to you that all of this may not have happened had t

The questions were directed to David Dye, Acting Asst. Sec of Labor for mine safety about WHY proposed new regulations that would have required GPS and individual communications that were proposed near the end of the Clinton Administration were terminated in December 2001 by the Bush Administration. It has nothing to do with the

Ironically, they may be on their way to ensuring GOP success in that district by fracturing the party. Now that's what you call an all or nothing party.

they resort to liberal bashing Kinda funny since you lefties are the ones who point out all the wrong things yet fail to give any good ideas that could have been done. It's easy to say someone is wrong about something, try doing that and having a solution at the same time. Maybe you should look

It is possible but, as you say, people are dividing and so there will always be a part that will be against any of these ideas. Someone will always fight it and so not so easy for it to just happen the way you "seem" to make it sound.

Please don't think for me. I said what I meant. Interesting how they tend to do that often. Somehow they believe they know exactly what your gonna say next. That combined with putting words in other peoples mouths make them great entertainers but terrible debaters.
