This family goes to the USA because no hospital in Canada could handle this situation. Isn't this another example of what would happen here on a much larger scale if Universal Health Care comes to the US?

My sister has two children. Their father is in jail for a long time. For a while she left her two children in their fathers cousin's care until she got her life together and found a place to stay. One was with one cousin and the other was with another. She signed papers for the younger one and put him in the cousin's custody. She found out that they were not being taken care of like they should be so she picked them up one day for good. Now the two cousin's are threatening to beat her up if she doesn't let them see the kids.They have been harassing her a lot lately and she wants to get a restraining order. My question is do they have any rights?Will they be able to get visitation rights for the kids?They might even try to get the fathers mother involved so she could try to get it also?Can she or anyone else get visitation rights without the mothers consent?

also if a person leaves the hospitol with an injury that was fixed and does not complain about any other problems, but later on, (weeks later) if they go back to the hospitol and find other injuries associated with the first problem. is the home owner liable for that as well? i mean the new problems could have occured somewhere else, so would that still make the home owner liable to be sued for all the conditions even after leaving the hospitol the night it happened?

About half the time when I read an answer by a Rethuglican to a question that's critical of the Bushies, that person throws in a gratuitous comment about Bill Clinton. This, in spite of the fact that the worst thing Clinton did was lie about getting a BJ. He certainly didn't send American troops to die in an illegal war based on a lie. Nor did he authorize torture and the kind of human rights abuses that make America look like a third-world dictatorship. What would Rethuglicans do if they didn't have Clinton to kick around?

Back in 2002 my husband got hit in the eye and had to go to the emergency room to get sewn up. What the doctor did not do is refer him to a eye specialist to make sure the eye was ok. That same year my husband went to the doctor because he was seeing flashes, but the doctor just blew him off and said it was old age. 4 years later my husband started seeing distorted images he then went back to the doctor and she then refered him to a retina specialist becasue he had a detached retina. That doctor said everyhting was going to be ok but in reality it has been a nightmare. After that first surgury he had received another detached retina in a diferent place because of the surgury. He then was diagnosed with glaucoma and cataracts. The pressure from Glaucoma caused a petrution in the white part of the eye which consistently irritates him. He is always in pain and can not work and a lot of life activitys has come to a stop. All the while the doctors seem to not know what to do. Excuses Excuse

"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children"

Is it really hateful for white people to secure their existence and a future for their children?

I´m not concerned with WHO says this type of thing. That is irrelevant, as I´m sure neo-nazis say things like "Star Wars is a good film" too, it doesn´t make it hateful. What I want to know is whether it is hateful for white people to want to secure their existence.

china has more patience then anybody else. they have been a civilization for 5000 years so they are in no great hurry to make things happen in just one persons lifetime. i think they will just keep setting up the dominos for conquest, unless a grand opportunity presents itself or somebody else's plans start to interfere with their long term goals. at some point they will push the first domino. i believe there goal focuses on the pacific rim. of course taiwan will offer little more resistance than a mouse hit by a truck, setting off the alarm that they are making their big move. while the world goes about condemning this action, they will move on australia and the war will begin. n. korea will push on to s.korea backed by china. by now were talking world war. and nuclear option starts looking appealing. their ultimate goal will be the americas. they will shoot for the moon and see what they end with. if they gain control of the panama canal then they have achieved the stepping stone they need to launch the largest campain ever seen for world domination. south america will be enslaved and all of her rescources for china. this is all generality of course, but i think we should watch for the signs, chinese expeditions as far south as antartica. more operatives in panama. chinese/ mexican relations. the u.s.'s role will be to cut their supply lines before they are able to set up shop, the chinese role will be to set that shop up, but they will have very little time. we would see the use of wmd's of every variety as this will be a gloves off, anything goes. in any case, when the smoke settles, we will live in a very different world. meanwhile back at the ranch...the u.s. must set up shop in the middle east for the big showdown, and another point...the muslim world would be smart to welcome the west or the muslim world can kiss it all goodbye, the chinese don't play softball when it comes to religious values............

In all, 41 deaths in the South and Midwest have been confirmed as heat-related, and other deaths are suspected, authorities said. The Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation’s largest public utility, shut down one of three units at the Browns Ferry nuclear plant in Athens, Ala., on Thursday because water drawn from the Tennessee River was exceeding a 90-degree average over 24 hours. “We don’t believe we’ve ever shut down a nuclear unit because of river temperature,” said John Moulton, spokesman for the Knoxville, Tenn.-based utility.
