more Big Brother




Government asleep at the switch




Much like smoking in a bar, emergency contraception handouts should be left to the owner of the establishment. If CVS says yes, then the pharmacist should oblige. If someone owns his own pharmacy, and he doesn't morally believe in the use of such, he should be able to not sell them. This should not be a force of the government. As Blagojevich wants, if the pharmacy is out of the contraceptive, it needs to suggest a suitable alternative, order it, or transfer the prescription to another pharmacy. While the big companies will do what they will, and that is to make money, an individual pharmacist should have the right to say,"If you didn't want to have a child, you should stop fucking".

Lies and misconceptions
Allusions to mushroom clouds in the build-up to the war in Iraq.
"Mission Accomplished"
Cheney: the insurgency is "in it's final throes".
McCain: "The frustration that America feels today was all too predictable because they were led to believe this could be some kind of day at the beach." If this was so predictable, couldn't have someone been more vociferous in preventing this?
The media says that we "NOW" reject the link the administration has made betwixt Iraq and the war on terror. But, many objected from the onset of the administration pushing this agenda. Many listened to the people, (Wilson, in particular) that Bush didn't listen to.
Rumsfeld: deeply troubled by the succes of the terrorist groups in manipulating the media to influence Westerners. Gee,who else does that?

In the 80's, many large cities carried urban renewal programs inwhich they put up modern apartment buildings. These buildings replaced hotels and boardinghouses that housed poor and single people, where rent was cheap. During the 70's, states and cities decided that mentally ill people would be better off in the community than in a mental facility. So, they were released, weren't ready, and became homeless.
Bail me out
Bailouts for business is the worst use of taxes. It's a business. If you fail, you failed. It is not fair for those that run a good business or struggle and come through.
tax $ for studies. Tax $ to see if being a rock star shortens your life. C'mon. Is this your science community now?
