I'm doing a summer assignment and i read this quote on what the people the people thought caused the black death. What do u think this quote means?
" THe knowledge that the disease meant almost certain death provoked the most profound pessimism"

Pessimism has 2 meanings one meaning the tendency to expect the worst and the other meaning evil outweighs the good in life. WHich one do you think it is?


Sorry if this is boring but thank you.lol

First of all, he's had quite a few girlfriends (and possibly a son by one of them)- Julie Madison, Vicki Vale, Talia, etc.

If it's because he wears tights, well, then all costumed superheroes must be gay.

And if you bring up Robin, having such a relationship would make him a pedophile (not gay), which is exactly the type of person Batman hates the most.

"She is so lucky
but why does she cry
if there is nothing
missing in my life
then why do these tears come at night

and the world is spinning
and she keeps on winning
but tell me what happens when it stops?"

Anyone who pays even the slightest attention to the health-care debate in this country probably knows that there are "44 million uninsured Americans." The figure was all but shouted from the rooftops during the recent Cover the Uninsured Week. It is standard boilerplate for John Kerry's stump speeches. Hillary Clinton, in her recent screed, was unwilling to round off the number: "Some 43.6 million Americans are uninsured, and the vast majority of them are in working families."
The existence of the 44-million figure is a tribute to Benjamin Disraeli's quip that "there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." If one accepts the Current Population Survey's numbers (the source for the 44-million statistic), there are in fact closer to 35 million uninsured Americans. Over 20 percent of the uninsured in this country are not citizens.
Yet there is good reason to be skeptical of the CPS's numbers. The CPS is intended to measure the number of people who have been uninsured for an entire year. One problem with the CPS statistic is that it includes both those who are insured for a short time and those who are chronically uninsured (defined as being uninsured for at least a year). Many people go without insurance for a few months often as the result of being between jobs. The CPS statistic of 44 million does not make that distinction.
Another drawback is that CPS asks respondents to recall their insurance status over the last twelve months, increasing the probability of sampling error due to respondents' memory lapses. Last year a paper from the Congressional Budget Office contrasted the CPS with two other surveys, the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). MEPS and SIPP track their respondents every few months, so the error due to memory lapse should be minimized. Interestingly, MEPS reported 31 million chronically uninsured, while SIPP reported only 21 million.
Yet even the numbers reported by the MEPS and SIPP surveys overstate the number of uninsured. Some respondents who receive Medicaid may say they are uninsured because of the stigma associated with the Medicaid program. Studies suggest that this may result in an undercounting of the insured by 12 to 15 percent. According to the CBO, "the number of non-elderly people who are enrolled in Medicaid at any time during the year could be undercounted in population surveys by about 4 to 5 million."
Another wrinkle occurs in the definition of the uninsured. There are many people who are eligible for Medicaid but are not enrolled in the program. Some argue that they should be counted as uninsured, while others argue that they should not. The latter group seems to have the stronger case, since such people can receive Medicaid coverage retroactively for health-care expenses. At present, there is no exact data on the number of people who are eligible for Medicaid but not enrolled. The most recent study, from 1994, estimated that about 2.9 million children who were uninsured were eligible for Medicaid.
Finally, it is important to note that, according to the SIPP survey, over 18 percent of the chronically uninsured say that they have gone without insurance because either they have not needed it or do not believe in it. When the various factors are accounted for, it is possible that the true number of the chronically uninsured is 12 to15 million.
Does the actual number matter? Either way, one might object, there are still millions who lack health insurance. Actually, it matters a great deal, because those who are most likely to tout the 44-million-uninsured statistic also tend to be the advocates of wholesale reform of the health-care system, usually of the government-run variety. A larger number gives their arguments more weight.
Second, understanding the actual magnitude of the problem gives us better direction in terms of policy. Of those chronically uninsured, the vast majority are poor, but over 60 percent are under the age of 35. Thus, the uninsured may be a largely healthy population that could afford to purchase health-care in a more consumer-driven system. Indeed, many of those currently purchasing insurance with health-savings accounts were previously uninsured.
Whatever the solution, we should not let inflated statistics lead us into adopting misguided health-care policies.

Have decided to make a cake for my family & friends, but a few of them diabetics and can't eat really sweet cake icing. So I can't use to store bought icings. A few days ago I was watching TV and saw them making cake icing, and they were use egg white. I'm not sure if I use egg white because there not cooked. Is using egg white for an icing such a good idea? Or should I use something else? Can you help me?

There are products that have ties to racism, such as Maxwell House coffee and the KKK. But have there been actual product, packaging and all that put out a racist message (maybe items from the slavery days or from WWII Germany)?

I had this question posted,"Have you heard Led Zeppelin?", and I added some other details, NONE of which were even remotely offensive. I received a violation notice, and the only thing I can think of is that someone might have been annoyed that I didn't give them a best answer. Come one, really, are people THAT petty? Here's the question I have for you; what question have you posted and received a violation notice on that you felt was totally undeserved?

1. Tax Relief for working Americans. His tax plan saved me 7K last year. I used that money to keep my kids in Private School where they learn the 3 r's.....not about heather having 2 mommies or how to put a condom on a bannana. Like they did GM & Ford, the unions have destroyed public education.

2. Honor & Dignity back in the oval office. It's important for me that my kids can look at our president and be proud. In Bush's oval office you have to wear a suit and a tie. Under Clinton, any chubby 19 year old intern could come in wearing a g-string, knee pads and carrying some k-y jelly. You have to admit LIBS. It's kind of nice having a President who does not spend all his time in front of special prosecutors, Grand Juries and Impeachment Hearings!

(Unlike Clinton, NO Prominent ELECTED official, or Major RESPECTED news outlet is EVEN calling for Impeachment hearings or Grand Jury investigations of BUSH)
