Since Al Qaeda is only 7% of the insurgents, if we pulled out of Iraq right now, do you think the other insurgents would massacre Al Qaeda once when pull out?

is that we were so hell bent on killing each other, that we might possibly have killed the whole planet. The ultimate paradox. :)

Fair and balanced? You decide.

"...In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States.

...During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so...."

It doesn't make any sense. The Forever Stamp costs $0.41 just like the First Class Postage Stamps. They say it's good for forever, but then they say that when there is a price increase that the price of the Forever Stamp will also increase so then you'd have to buy new Forever Stamps. Does anyone understand this?

Everyone should not buy gas for one day a month. And see what happenes to the prices. Do you feel it would make an impact on oil and gas prices? If we went on strike once a month.

Peak Oil is not just a theory, it is a very real predicition and it will happen in the next few years. It will effect every part of your life, and yet very few people are talking about it, and the scientists and geologists researching it have hardly any attention at all. What they have concluded is earth shattering, so why don't more people know about it? Why is nothing being done to mitigate it's effects?

The Peak Oil study group at the University of Reading have concluded that the effects of oil depletion could be making themselves felt as early as 2012. Five years in planning terms is nothing, but I haven't heard of any plans to face the challenges that Peak Oil will have on every part of our lives.

What do you think we should do?

Don't forget, our whole economy depends on growth, anything that interferes with that will cause an economic meltdown.

Good lord! The smoke here in Tampa is incredible!! It's amazing how fires in Georgia are carrying all the way down to South Florida. It's so hazy, this morning you couldn't see more then 100 feet or so. Just wondering how everybody else is copeing with this? I know most people are all cooped up indoors with their air conditioning blasting.. not me. = )

Are they gettting contributions from Big Oil? Or maybe it wasn't Bush's fault last year.

Free speech...the right to express an opinion freely.
Is there any limit to where it crosses over the line?
Should there be?

Is it OK to yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater?
(to use an old argument)

THE LATEST:
XM Satellite Radio shock jocks Opie and Anthony apologized Friday for airing a homeless man's crude comments that he'd like to have sex with Condoleezza Rice, Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth.

Opie and Anthony laughed as they imagined Rice's "horror" while describing a violent sexual encounter in which Condoleezza Rice is punched in the face.

All we ever hear about the War on Terror is the negatives... never the positive. Is the public even aware of the thousands-upon-thousands of lives that the American soldiers have been saving?

Don't you think that if Iraq doesn't want us to leave, then maybe they should give us some oil?

They should help out somehow, and why not help us bring the price of gas down.

The price of gas is killing all of us.
