The raping and pilaging of our patriotic values and principles isn't enough for the Bush Administration. It's looking more and more like we will be the last generation of individuals that will be able to use the facts as our allies in our political fights. We've already got the energy companies writing our energy laws. The pharmacuetical lobby writing our medicare/medicaid policies. Can you honestly agree with this trend? Complacency and ignorance is killing our system. Please read these links and with a little common sense give me some feedback!!

I hope that when these people in the mountains are found, taxpayers are not stuck paying the bill for all of these helicopter flights, police, rescue workers etc. and that the money that it cost comes out of the people directly. Why should my tax dollars pay for someone else's extreme sports?

are our hearts and soul blind...according to a survey 6 lak people have died in iraq in past 3 years(even if i say this is an exagerated comment and say 2 lak people died then isnt that more than enough to open up peoples eyes through out the world...all hell has broken lose,everyday about dozen people die in iraq,now lets not say that invasion was the right thing or not because what we should be worried about should be what can be done to stabilize iraq and when allied forces should leave iraq(because we all know that before their presence sadam may well be present but the situation was not even 1% as bad as today)...what ever you think please give your reasons aswell...for serious discussion only

The government of the United States has implemented some major programs and laws to fight the war on Terror. These include the Patriot Act, The NSA Surveillance program, increase executive powers for the duration of the war, the drive to build a fence between the US and Mexico, Guantanamo Bay for detention of terrorists, secret and harsh CIA interrogations, etc. I think that these programs damage our image in the world and at home. It is obvious that many of these plans and programs limit personal freedoms and go against many values of our Constitution. This is evident because almost every program enacted has been ruled unconstitutional when the case has went to court. We are now a divided country, and our actions, in my opinion have weakend America. Can it be that our fear of another attack is causing us to give up our values of a free, lawful and morally right country?

It's really bad that those hikers have got lost and I really do hope they find them, but they are expert hikers and they took the risk of hiking up a mountain in winter, and now hundreds of rescuers who have families of their own, are risking their lives to try and find these people and this has been all over the news networks non stop all day. THREE EXPERT hikers are lost on a mountain and could possibly be dead and are getting more news coverage than an American solider killed in Iraq ever will.

...and not in one of the numerous places in Africa? George Bush has talked about liberating people in Afghanistan and Iraq from oppression and terror, but it seems like there are countries in Africa that have the same or worse conditions. Why is this (other than oil)? He doesn't like black people, does he? That little b|tch, Kanye West, was right, wasn't he?

If he wins he will be the first Black president and if she succeeds she will be the first woman for president. How do you all feel about this matter and if you are republican would you change your voting preferance. Blessings

Gunmen in Iraqi army uniforms burst into Red Crescent offices on Sunday and kidnapped more than two dozen people at the humanitarian organization.
That is nice.
So... they blow up bus stops full of women and children and kidnap the very people that are trying to help them.
Why?

Three more Qassam rockets were fired from Gaza toward Jewish towns Thursday, despite the cease-fire agreement between the Olmert government and Gaza’s terror groups.

One of the rockets slammed into central Sderot, causing damage to parked cars and causing nearby pedestrians to go into shock.

The other two missiles landed in open areas outside the rocket-battered town.

Thursday morning, a Qassam struck a kibbutz in the western Negev, causing damage to two homes and sending shards of glass flying into a room where a child was sleeping. No injuries were reported.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, whose restraint policy received wide acclaim during his European tour last week, says the cease-fire is becoming more difficult to observe, but stopped short of ordering offensive action in Gaza.

At least 25 Qassam rockets have been fired at Israeli cities and communities since the cease-fire went into effect. Israel has not fired back.

its thier choice, a voluntary activity. They should know the risks right? So if they choose to go, don't take proper precautions and don't know how to survive an emergency, aren't they voluntarily subjecting themselves to the laws of the wild?

to repay the hundreds of thousands, or perhaps millions of dollars that are being spent to find them, assuming they're found alive?

Personally, I'm tired of seeing tax dollars pay to rescue these people. I'd like to see a policy put in place where climbers have to buy an expensive permit to attempt the summit on one of these dangerous peaks, and sign a contract agreement that if they have to be rescued, they'll get a bill for the cost. They should have to put up a bond or other proof of financial capability to pay.

Heck, maybe some private insurance company should go into business offering policies that will repay these costs, and climbers should be required to show proof of insurance before they get their permit.
