News & Events - August 2007

I was reading news today online, and my toddler started to point at a picture of Alberto Gonzales and Karl Rove. I had him reciting "liar" when he pointed at Alberto and "a$$hole" when he pointed at Karl Rove. Over and over again and he couldn't stop giggling. Me neither.

I saw the movie Sicko recently and LOVED it. I am a big Micheal Moore fan, I think he's an amazing person giving America what it needs.

However, Sicko rants and raves about Cuba's health care system, and in the movie it does seem excellent. Why then, in the The World Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems (that list he zooms down on, the one where the US is just above Slovinea) is Cuba BELOW the USA?


Check the trailer, you can see it, or click here.

Thats interesting that you would say that Toodomo or whoever you are...by your definition the USA is the cause of all the Extremism in the World. That is flat out wrong.,. Iraq ..was a terrorist Regime just ask the victims,..of Saddam ask the Kurds..Iraq Under Saddam Insane..was the epitome of Terrorist Regimes,.but then im sure that your next recourse will be...where are the wmds?....the last time i looked ..mustard gas..and cyanide gas qualifies as weapons of mass destruction..go ask the families of the hundreds of thousands of Kurds and Iraqi's killed by such means...im sure they would tell you...Gasing populations..massively kills...and is massively destructive to human life.

many people seem to forget..or maybe they just ignore,,whichever the case may be..but the USA was attacked ..by Islamic extremists..and over Three thousand innocent victims lost their Lives ..when the twin towers were destroyed,..The U.S. did not instigated this conflict..no matter what Islamic Propaganda tools try to say.. to justify their actions,..their arguments fall short..and their Religio-Manic martrydoms do nothing to glorify their cause.,. or make it somehow Holy...Murder is Murder,,,war is war...no one in their right mind can mistake the two.

mary winkler was allowed to work while she awaited sentencing for shooting her husband while he slept. she then drove to another state with their children. it seems that the world seems to care more about the death of animals than the death of a man. maybe its because michael vick is a well known, well paid, black athlete in america.

Ok... I know I am going to get slammed for this, but oh well...
WHY???? would anyone want to live or rebuild on something that is so beneath the sea level that at anytime it will be washed away again?
I know its home.. i get that.. But, Why??
.. It woukd be like the people from Mt. Saint Helens..climbing to the top and rebuilding there home.. What the heck are we thinking? There are so many other wonderful places to live. Why even try it there?

Please dont take this as if I am heartless. I cried and took in strangers when the Hurricane hit.
I just dont understand why people woukld want to live there now?
They know it is a death trap.. Concrete and dams can only do so much!!
When you live in a Swamp your going to have problems.
Is it worth your life?

Its a bad idea to build anything close to the coastal areas.,,statistically Hurricanes and Monsoons have continually destroyed billions of dollars of Residential and commerical constructions..my question is how many times does something have to be destroyed by Nature..due to its geographical location ,.before...Money mongers...realize that continually building in these areas..is just plain lunacy.

I don't think the "resort" ideas are good, but I think its great that they have to grow their own food. Who else thinks they should get thier butts off the couches and out of the weight rooms, and out in the fields to help support themselves?

The Terrorist attacks in India are an act of war against India. Since Iran is the source of funding for all practical purposes Iran is committing acts of war against India.

What is the proper response of India against Iran?

According to CNN experts, we might run out of oil by about 2020. What do you think will hapen to countries that their economy depends on oil. Lets see:

Dubai is going the right way.-those people see it coming- but:

Russia. Venezuela. Iran. Iraq. Saudi.

What will the Russians do as proud as they are, but oil and gas are MAJOR resources. And what about the venezuelan people.

But, most importantly, Will the end of oil bring more extremists from the middle east? Since their economies depend so much on oil, they will go under hardhips, and some people there think they are superior than anybody-extremists-, what would they do when they are suddenly as bad as Africa.

Last. There is no economy that can support over one billion people there.

This is not intended to target any religion.

I have to write an opinion article about how dangerous it is that most people today are choosing the internet over books for information. So far, the only reason I can think of is
1- internet can be misleading, inaccurate, and out of date.

What else can I add?

Hello,

I was wondering, If a reporter with a camera runs up to you and tries to ask you questions is there a way to get them to not put any of it on the news report?
a clause anywhere or something where if you don't release your "interview"?
do they need your signature?
