Only in the US, no other country in the world but ours, allows trial lawyers to create frivolous law suits and not be accountable to compensate the defendant, if they lose the case. How can anyone who truly wants health care reform, support these cretins who prey upon tragedy for their own personal gain? They fill our courts with frivolous suits, they cause medical providers to carry HUGE insurance, force patients to have needless procedures and operations; they force medical givers to shut down or move because juries throw "lottery winning" awards, at these con artists. Insurance and drug industry attributes a great deal of their costs, to defend against these cretins. What a hypocite you are if you support trial lawyers and rail about health care costs! To most, we see you as practicing a staregy to break the backs of our economy, to replace our way of life with socialism and communism.

They skipped the Gay and lesbian debate on LOGO. They skipped the Hispanic debate on Univision and now they are skipping the black debate at Morgan State.

So my question is, have they stopped pretending that they give a damn about minorities. I mean we all know Republicans could care less about minorities. But at least in the past they pretended to care. Even Bush and Newt Gingrich are saying this is a mistake. Whats up with the republican party?

It is confirmed that the claimant's lawyer had change the date and time of hearing for summon for bankruptcy but had intentionally left the time of hearing unchanged; 2 portions in my copy of summon had the dates amended but not the time. However, both the court copy and claimant copies were amended accordingly. As such, I was absent for hearing and the registrar passed the order for the reason. The Lawyer is fully aware that I am raising a very strong objection to the claim with evidences which an official objection was raised and CC to him. This is not a fair judgment as I was not given opportunity to raise my points and that he had intentionally made me absent with that "Trap" What can I do to this?

Possibly Hillary's message in her "It Takes a Village (not a family)" , she will be regarded as a pioneer for "one governemnt for the world". Possibly liberals are ready to come out of the closet and say the "s" word? ; their counterparts in Italy and France call their democratic party, the socailist party, but our socialists can't even publicly acknowledge the word "socialist'.

-Israel receives billions of dollars in economic aid from the US Govt. annually.

-The Israeli military could not function at such a high rate w/o billions of dollars in annual US military aid.

-If/when the US attacks Iran it will be as much (if not more) for Israel's national security as the US national security.

-If the holy land wasn't a part of Israel the US would have almost nothing to do with Israel.

-The only real difference between a US state & Israel is that Israelis don't have to pay any US taxes for all the things that they get from the US Govt.

-Now I have no problem with helping out Israel because I believe they've got ever right to be the protectors of the Holy Land but I think they should at least have to pay US taxes for all the billions of $ in US welfare/military aid they receive every year. Don't you think that is fair?

and patents the idea, raises capital, develops an adversising campaign, develops a distribution network, leases a factory, hires someone to design and make the machines that will be used to make the car, works with engineers to come up with an efficient manufacturing process that is simple and straightforward and involves very simple tasks being performed by the factory workers, and then hires workers to do these basic tasks, the same tasks that they would otherwise do at a competing plant but because there is no one more plant they get paid a little more than they otherwise would, and the car is a big hit and its inventor, his investors that took a huge risk on the new car, and the engineers make a huge profit......

Did they make it "on the backs of the workers?"

My family and I attended a photo session on Saturday that lasted for about 2 - 21/2 hrs. The shots came out beautiful and we were very pleased with them but when we sat down to discuss prices it was way over my budget. I came with the expectancy of spending $1,000 but after we selected our packages it came to $4,000. We selected one family collage and a 30*40 framed pearlized picture. We also selected 6 additional poses which would be put on a CD. I really like the selections and would like to purchase the picks but I feel someone is making a killing of a profit of this deal. I do not want to be ripped of!!! Further more I think it is plenty of room for further discounts taking into consideration this is a family of five.

So a man could rape a woman, say he was drunk and just walk away.

Someone could just shoot someone at night, say he was drunk, and only get a few weeks in jail.

sharply reducing the chances that people in the middle class can BECOME rich?

Wherever you draw the line to define "rich" - some economists use $1MM liquid net worth, constant dollars - the shift is more and more households crossing above it. Right now it's between 500,000 and a million households per year, usually about 3/4 of a million. If you drew a similar line to define "comfortable" say a household between $100K and $500K liquid net worth, that's about 1 in 4 of us, versus about 1 in 10 twenty five years ago. In another generation it could be 50/50.

YES the households already above those lines have really done well, even by a greater degree than the rest of us, in most cases.

But in absolute terms there has been a dramatic increase in the proportion of this country that "lives the life" - - - why throw the baby out with the bathwater????

Even if you hate the folks who are already rich, don't you love yourself more?

Not every single democrat or republicans but the majority of those in power right now.

I see it like this
Republicans: think they can do things that other countries are not allowed to do because of our way of life. Think we are superior so we do not have to follow the rules other countries should go by.

Democrats: They want to please the majority at the expense of their own personal feelings. They do what they think is popular no matter what they personally think is right.

Neither side is doing a good job right now with the country in my opinion. I had hopes when the democrats took congress but they have done nothing but disappoint.

being a garbage collector has a higher value than an "unreal" job like teaching economics, history, business, science, or engineering to students?

Or is it that those who claim such things are opposed to what they think is being taught in an odd sort of elitism of their own?
