They feel it has absolutly nothing to do with bad choices and money mismanagement?
It's how you spend your money. Many people I know who are poor have jobs.
But people don't HAVE to smoke, drink, gamble, use illegal drugs, waste money on frivilous things...
I find it disturbing with some of you that even when it is pointed out they smoke in the house with children, sometimes asthmatic, you don't care, you still think these people should not be "judged". What extremes do poor people have to reach to make it permissible to then "judge" them. Statistically, they have more problems with child abuse too, but don't judge, right?
Quite disturbing. I'm wondering how many of you are the classic "ivory tower" liberal or just young and naive.

My grandmother is in a nursing home. She has to pay $ 6.200 every month. They even put every diaper extra on the bill, even she already pays so much. That nursing come gets rich in that they employ cheap immigrants / aliens without health care insurance. They rip of all old people. Nursing homes have extremely exaggerated prices in the USA. The government should set a limit for all nursing homes.

My granny is very sick. She feels bad when she smells anything like deodorant, soap etc. She needs oxygen and really needs a single bad room. She also is snoring every night. She could not sleep with another patient in one room. Her account is shrinking very fast. If all her money is used and she has nothing, all her life time savings and assets wasted for a nursing home, who earns too much, she will get Medicaid. Medicaid will pay $ 2.000 less.

A person I know, who I kind of don't like, yet like at the same time, got caught dealing drugs. I have known about his drug dealings for a while. However, he's a smart honors student who has been class treasurer and club president of amnesty international at my school. He went to Nicaragua last last summer to try and fix up the country. Yet, two days ago, he got expelled from school. He's 17 and a half, what's going to happen to him? Is he going to go to jail? Is his life basically over? A lot of people thought he was going to get into stanford university. I kind of feel bad for him, yet I guess he got what he deserved. He should never have dealed drugs, he'll do anything for money. So what's going to happen to him?
Btw, i have never done drugs and i never plan to. He has never asked me to do drugs.

If those spies have been able to bring the polonium from Russia to the UK lately (or vice versa, im not sure) to poison another spy without anyone knowing about that until all 4 were cought ill with radiation. Then why the terrorists cannot bring a portable atomic bomb to the USA without anyone knowing about that too?

Malachi Ritscher's Suicide Note

[link to www.savagesound.com]


mission statement


My actions should be self-explanatory, and since in our self-obsessed culture words seldom match the deed, writing a mission statement would seem questionable. So judge me by my actions. Maybe some will be scared enough to wake from their walking dream state - am I therefore a martyr or terrorist? I would prefer to be thought of as a 'spiritual warrior'. Our so-called leaders are the real terrorists in the world today, responsible for more deaths than Osama bin Laden.

I have had a wonderful life, both full and full of wonder. I have experienced love and the joy and heartache of raising a child. I have jumped out of an airplane, and escaped a burning building. I have spent the night in jail, and dropped acid during the sixties. I have been privileged to have met many supremely talented musicians and writers, most of whom were extremely generous and gracious. Even during the hard times, I felt charmed. Even the difficult lessons have been like blessed gifts. When I hear about our young men and women who are sent off to war in the name of God and Country, and who give up their lives for no rational cause at all, my heart is crushed. What has happened to my country? we have become worse than the imagined enemy - killing civilians and calling it 'collateral damage', torturing and trampling human rights inside and outside our own borders, violating our own Constitution whenever it seems convenient, lying and stealing right and left, more concerned with sports on television and ring-tones on cell-phones than the future of the world.... half the population is taking medication because they cannot face the daily stress of living in the richest nation in the world.

American War Protestor Sets Himself on Fire

Protester immolation virtually unnoticed

Staff and agencies
07 December, 2006


By ASHLEY M. HEHER, Associated Press Writer Sun Nov 26, 5:24 PM ET


CHICAGO - Malachi Ritscher envisioned his death as one full of purpose.

At 6:30 a.m. on Nov. 3 — four days before an election caused a seismic shift in Washington politics — Ritscher, a frequent anti-war protester, stood by an off-ramp in downtown Chicago near a statue of a giant flame, set up a video camera, doused himself with gasoline and lit himself on fire.

Republican Senator: Iraq War "May Be Criminal"
Quote

December 8, 2006, 1:14 PM

It's the kind of thing you'd expect to hear on Pacifica Radio, not in a speech by a Republican senator.

"I, for one, am at the end of my rope when it comes to supporting a policy that has our soldiers patrolling the same streets in the same way, being blown up by the same bombs day after day. That is absurd. It may even be criminal," declared Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR), a 10-year veteran of the Senate, in a speech last night.

Why are you not allowed to point out that these people would be doing much better if they it weren't for their drug habits, mostly (alcohol and cigarettes, if not worse, like meth) and bad money management? The conservatives are right about this. I've seen first hand how they waste their money, smoke in the house with children, sometimes even asthmatic children...

How can you say people don't deserve to be poor when they have free will to spend their money as they please?

This is remarkable. This building fell strait down at relatively free fall speed on 9/11. This was the third building to collapse at the complex that day. It was not hit by a plane and only had two small known fires. Keep in mind that this building had 24 core support columns and looked like a controlled demolition. The owner of the building, Larry Silverstien even said in a PBS documentary that it was pulled. Take a look at the video and ask yourself, why have i not seen this on the news? No steel framed building had ever collapsed because of fire, so why not question the collapse of WTC 7. 3000 ppl died on 9/11 and I think we deserve the truth and a new investigation.

You know - the one where her attitude, body language, and words convey the fact that she's clearly right and anybody who disagrees with her is dead wrong.

I think the last six years of apparent personality transformation is just that: apparent - but not real. I don't believe personality transplants are possible for folks in their sixth decade on this earth.

Assuming the old Hillary surfaces during the '08 primaries or in the presidential campaign how do you think it will play with swing voters? Will they be put off by it / will it break down by gender / or by region? What do you think?

I work at an FBO servicing private and general aviation planes in FL. Was offered work next-door doing the same job, as line service technician (lowest in the food chain). Employer was very derrogatory and is threatening to pursue non-compete with legal action. Others have done the same thing, and left to no effect, but employer might be using me as example. Position holds no level of importance or secrecy. There is nothing I can take from them and pass on... Could I go on and start at the other company and dismiss this; even if employer found out where I'm going? What could the consequences be if they decide to enforce it???
