I've heard that it was during the Reagan years, but I don't know for sure. I know that it used to be a Federal Dept., but that it isn't anymore. I think the highest authority or rank there was the Postmaster General and it was a position in the Presidents Cabinet of advisors, but again I'm not entirely certain.

The Bush Admistration is looking for a graceful way to put blame somewhere for a lost war. Will they blame Dems, Rumsfeild, civil war, the military, Iran, Syria, congress?

NEW YORK — New York City, long known for clogged arteries during rush hour, took a big and controversial step Tuesday toward helping improve human arteries when the Board of Health officially banned artificial trans fats from restaurant menus.

The board, which passed the ban unanimously, gave restaurants a slight break by relaxing what had been considered a tight deadline for compliance. Restaurants will be barred from using most frying oils containing artificial trans fats by July, and will have to eliminate artificial trans fats from all served foods by July 2008.

"I am very supportive of the changes," said Hasan, a manager at Dervish, a Turkish restaurant. "We stopped using trans fats a long time ago. Health is the most important factor, and people will just have to get used to it."

Pushcart vendor Abu doesn't buy the ban.

"You need a little trans for good taste. I think this is a very bad idea," he said.

City Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden had said that officials weighed complaints from the restaurant industry, which argued that it was unrealistic to give them six months to replace cooking oils and shortening and 18 months to phase out the ingredients altogether.

The question above has earned me a lot of strife. Allow me to clarify in a more peaceful tone: I am wholly against meaningless abortion. As a matter of fact, I think that it should be used only, and only as a last resort. I only condone it for instances of rape, incest and cases like them in which the woman has no control over, and even then I see it as A choice, not THE choice. However, abortion is just the same as pills, as welfare, as nearly everything else you can think of: just because of those who abuse it, doesn't mean they should all be simply scrapped. That was the real reason behind my question, and the reason behind this one.

Comments concerning myself are welcome. Answers for the question above are just as.

He's not over seas. He's off the coast of where he's stationed so I'm just wondering how long would it take for a package to get to him? How is the mail service in the service? I would like to time it so he gets the package the week of Christmas. Thanks for any help you can give me.

It makes me sick when either the Liberals bash the the conservatives and vice versa. I may not like the Liberal agenda, but I would never call them vile names. And it makes me just as sick when I see the conservatives do it too.

What are we a bunch of little school kids that can't do anything better then call each other names?

Let's try to act like grownups people.

(This is coming from a person who claims to never want to grow up and states that people should have fun and play. But this is going over board folks.)
