Politics & Government - 12 January 2007

Any armourers can give us the necessary Data.
As I see it there is horrific design defect in the helmets worn by non-specialist units. Comparing with those from WWII german army, from which they are copied, we can see there is no saftey ridge line along the bottom. This is necessary to deflect projectiles from the head. This redards the main blast from exploding through the side of the head.
Also, looking at the helmet from the rear, there is a wide gap in the middle, allowing the top of the cervical spine (many injuries suffered here) to be penetrated.
In Vietnam, few survivors of land mines were injured in the head?
Perhaps, a different explosion pattern in Afghanistan and Irag.
Troops are being unnecessarily injured by ineffective equipment and armour.

What do you think?
I think the present government is quite clever - they have not adopted any radical policies like most other previously colonised African countries did.
That is, if you wouldn´t say affirmative action (basically the opposite of Apartheid, where you are employed by the colour of your skin - black being good and white being bad) isn´t radical.

And insufficient policing, high high and very high crime (10% of all the worlds murders occur in S.A.), lack of work, high taxes for no return etc. have been the main reasons for the Europeans to leave.

There is a provision in the new Minimum Wage Bill that allows for the exemption of the American Territory of Samoa. Why do you think they would do that? There is a StarKist Tuna Canning Facility in American Samoa. Can't hurt the tuna industry with wage hikes can we? Especially when StarKist is headquartered in, you guessed it: San Francisco.

While there is a small minority in America who still support Bush and his war in Iraq, but how many of you are willing to send your sons or daughters to be part of the escalation of troops. Or for that matter rush off to join the fight?

What was the main problem with the response to the Twin Towers bombing, according to post incident review, are clear instructions a possibility, can written messages be clear with mispelling?
Why does the military use short commands?
Does the message, "Ignore plan A. Proceed with plan B." indicate a chance for error in an operation?

Democrats, who should tell a senior citizen which medications they should use?

A doctor, or a washington bureaucrat?


I had at least six responses from democrats, all ignoring the question. They all tried to turn the question around talking about medicare d.

This question is very simple.

If medicare D has some problems, fix them, don't destroy the program completely.

NOW PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!!!
