    Why are seat belts mandatory on cars...

    The same reason tobacco and ******* are legal but pot and ecstasy aren't ("impaired" is "impaired" - be it from snorting glue or shooting heroin. Yet somehow, one is legal while the other isn't). It's because people have this misguided notion that "banning" something makes the problem go away...

    The Next President?

    And spending money like a ******* sailor to do it. I've come to a startling conclusion over the past month - Every Tom, Dick and Harry claims to love the Constitution and wants less wasteful government and are for peace etc. But when a candidate comes along (Dr. Ron Paul) with impeccable...

    Should the United Nations have their own seperate peace keeping *****?

    You "guess" ? As opposed to the "one world" argument of "You as an individual are nothing, the State is everything?" Now who is bringing "race" into the equation? You or I? I never said anything against any other nation, country or people. I think in terms of individuals - not a "collective...

    Should the United Nations have their own seperate peace keeping *****?

    First - Yes. I whole heartedly support withdrawing US troops from UN mandate. Second - UN relocate out of New York and US withdraws from the UN. I'm sick and tired of my tax payer dollars going to fund this nonsense. American boys and girls are not the property of the world and American...

    Democratic senator proposes censuring Bush

    So your option = "Shred the archaic Constitution. It has no applicable use today?" ? I'm still wondering/curious why you didn't answer/acknowledge the salient point of my opposition to McCain-Feingold namely Am I to assume that you don't care if government decides issues for you? cheers...

    Democratic senator proposes censuring Bush

    You're missing the entire point: McCain-Feingold states that the "Government" mandates what is "acceptable" - not 'we the people'.* That, my friend, is not "protection" of liberty - but an assault on free speech. The original right to free speech was enshrined in the Bill of Rights to provide...

    Sad state of Health care staffing

    I agree. The way we are right now, there is no competition in the system. What we really need to do, is deregulate insurance. We actually don't have "insurance" in this country - we have "assurance". Insurance is only supposed to cover for catastrophic incidents : Heart ******, stroke, accident...

    Funny you mention that - people look at me and call me a "white man": I have Lakota and Tartar-Turko-Slavic ***** in me (besides the Irish, German and who knows what else?!)

    Hell, Tom Clancy practically predicted 9/11.... in that case... Anyone read: "Debt of Honor"/"Executive Orders"? Two of the most frightening books about the growth of American Empire, IMHO.... (despite the "patriotic" veneer Clancy paints those books in. As he does in all of his books...

    Do you still listen to your audio cassette player?

    For some reason, whenever someone uses that term (or "Boom Box"), I automatically think of Michael Jackson and his "Thriller" album. I don't know why - it's like an automatic link-up in my brain! :) cheers,

    I caught the original one when they toured - actually caught 'part of the dark side' when they performed some of the songs during the "Meddle" tour :) Ahhhh! Those were heady days indeed! Led Zep, the Doors, Floyd, Rolling Stones, U2, The Scorpions, ... *sigh* cheers,

    I still have my LPs and my LP player :) I still remember the first time Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" was released. At that point in time, I was broke - could only afford the cassette. In about a month's time, I'd listened to that tape over and over and over and over and over and over to...

    EDIT: My disagreement with Warewolf's assertion "People strike back when hit" or "Most people strike back when hit" does not mean that I conclude, support and endorse that the "opposite is true". i.e. It is not necessarily true that "Most people do not strike back when hit". Finally, for a...

    Let us look at your assertions again. A: "People strike back when hit". I provided three generous examples in the previous post about successful, non-violent movements. This alone ought to be enough to prove your assertion that "people strike back when struck first" isn't always true and that...

    Actually, there are plenty of people who "won't strike back" - choosing to be ****** rather than partake in ********. The Indian Independence movement was based on the message of non-******** as preached by Mahatma Gandhi - even in the face of police *********. Similar movements were held in...

    Yes and no. I don't honestly think that it is "just" another facet of our health care system. You can have all the high tech equipment and the best processes - but without trained professionals - it's little more useful than high tech junk. It is my humble opinion that it is the most vital...

    I admit I'm mildly surprised at the lack of response to this thread. I know a lot of you folks are concerned about health care in the US. I thought there'd be a lot more than "zero" posts in response to a vital aspect of the health care provider industry! cheers,
