Wahkonta Anathema- I will hate to see you go, but I'm glad to read that you will still be blogging and putting up a site. You always have respectful, informative and insightful comments and replies. Blogs like yours, where users can read news articles that are hard to find and would be so time consuming to hunt down, if we even knew they existed in the first place to try to hunt then down, are a joy and I would think a good reason to visit this site. I will let you know of any sites.

WiseFawn: What exactly do you propose? "OH, such an insightful article, oh, he's so right, Thomas Jefferson believed we shouldn't leave behind debts." Thomas Jefferson, btw, also believed in trying to eliminate all federal taxes Umm, yes, I think this was a good and insightful article. $7,063,087,073,83

stevendedalus- So many times when I'm on my blog and click on the title of an article that catches my eye, it is one of your articles! And you've made another great point. But I see you've caught the attention of the welfare pair, too! ;)

Oh, thank you. Absolutely! The town used to have a large Army Depot and the Army buried some barrels under ground. Later, a school was built on the spot. They've relocated the school and are still trying to clean it all up. The same town has a creosote problem in a river nearby. It was really incredible to see the way it was all handled by the local media and town.

stevendedalus- This an excellent article! One of the reasons I stay here is the bloggers who are putting out the stories we don't get to hear. I saw what the controlled media was like, in a small way, when I lived in a town where the high rate of Leukemia was being investigated. I had to depend on others outside of town to send me the real news that we were kept from hearing. It was amazing, frustrating and outrageous. Thank you for putting this up.

This is a good article. Personal is good. A man came upon another on the beach one day. The second man was walking along, looking down, then every few feet would bend down, pick something up out of the sand, and toss it into the ocean. The first man asked the other what he was doing. The second man replied, “I am saving starfish”. The first man was incredulous. “Are you kidding?? There are too many! What are you going to do? Spend all day and night out here tossing starfish back in

Exploring the Myth of the Free Market By Marjorie Kelly "A truly natural free market would free all groups to compete equally, to have a chance to pursue their own self-interest, to have an opportunity for their voices to be heard and their needs considered. Real free markets are not about enshrining the self-interest of one group alone in law. Privilege like that has no place in a free market. Even in an imaginary one." http://www.divinerightofcapital.com/newpage14.htm

Good article! Another example of needing a new approach, that this isn't working and we don't approve of the way money is being spent.

wow, even if he is unemployed, retired or disabled, or whatever the case may be, he has a voice, an opinion, and actually a great right if he is any of those. The ones in the system know much better how the system works than those who aren't. Asking for health care is not a question of success or failure at life. Muddle through, though.

I am left speechless again. stevendedalus - I've been reading your articles about a more tender and gentler nation. You have good ideas. I can't help but hope that enough people can come up with enough ideas to create compromises and solutions.

Critical? Do you know anyone that's undergone cancer treatments? That has kidney dialysis or diabetes? Do you know that a lot of doctors don't even accept cash payments?If you don't have some form of insurance, they won't take you as a patient? My sister sat with the phone book in Cleveland and could NOT FIND ONE that took a cash paying patient! Have you ever walked into a "free" clinic? How about the price of medicine being so high that Americans are going to other countries for their medicine

This is a good article! And I agree, there is no doubt that the differences are there and always will be. There are also right brained people and left brained and the lucky ones that use both sides. And there will always be differences between men and women. We think differently and we both know it. But somehow, we find a way to come together. :)

Brad Wardell- it sometimes is amazing that people survive. It sounds like your mother was a strong person! I will definitely read your article, but I do have one more question for you. I notice whenever you talk of unwed mothers, you never talk of the fathers. Would it not, in fact, be cheaper if the US ever went mandatory birth control, which we know I'd be in the lead parade against, to have the birth control be that every boy, by the age of, let's go ahead and say 13, be given a reversible va

This is a wonderful article and I couldn't agree more. I'm really trying to learn where others are coming from and I've learned a great deal in the time I've been here. I agree with you about Sherye Hanson, too!

Brad Wardell- Why thank you, I enjoy your writings too, that comment you made on a blog that you ARE watching all the time made me almost choke on my sandwich with laughter! I may come from a personal point of view, because I'm a firm believer that if you have the actual experiences personally, you are very well equipped to talk on the subject, but I'm still not sure how I gave the impression I don't understand the problem in it's entirety. Decisions are made and policies are changed quite

Another great article stevendedalus! Brad Wardell- on one of your blogs I offered to bring kids to people's houses for supper to prove that there ARE hungry children in our country. I agree with debidoll about walking a mile. And now, I'd like to make another offer. I'd like for you to trade places for one day with a lovely young woman that would probably not be here if it weren't for the fact that she got on medicaid. One day. As a citizen of the United States, I expect programs to be
