Politics & Government - 16 November 2007

Think about the "machine". Do you think they are actually letting the chips fall where they may ? Don`t kid yourself. The DNC is doing what they feel they need to do to get Hillary into the White House.....Just look around. The republican field is wide open and full of great prospects.....For the dems and America`s libs....It`s Hillary, period. How sad......What do you think ?

Bush initially took us to war with Iraq under the alleged premise that there were WMD there. But after an extensive weapons inspection which turned up negative, Bush subsequently decreed that there "were no WMD in Iraq", an "admission" which I have to admit I thought was a little strange since Bush never admitted he was wrong, but also because there was an obvious reason why WMD may not have been found in Iraq, namely because they could simply have been previously moved OUT of Iraq and into a neighboring country (Syria, Iran, e.t.c.). I have likewise maintained since Bush's admission that the WMD could have been moved out of Iraq and into another country, while others have claimed that such a move would have been impossible to pull off undetected.

I got mine 48 hours ago.

I asked why 48 hours ago.

I have checked to see if I have any bill owing for that amount. I don't thanks to the Provence of BC for paying all my hospital bills for me.

Wow, someone must think that $20,000.00 will make me go away. The way I have been treated they are short several decimal points.

I do not blame the Minister I am pointing my fingers at the unionized management and staff, that can never be fired and may at one time been productive at one time but have become dead-wood and are no longer there no longer to help the people they serve but for the money!

I have letters saying everything has been approved and paid for with the exception of my Health Canada Medication, because it has no HC, DIN#.

So I got my Government of Canada Cheque, Have you got yours?

when i think of historic politcal/social leaders, i notice they all get assasinated for trying to change a nation or the world into a the better place. and i also noticed that currently we don't have someone of that caliber anymore. but if we did, today, would it eventually have the same outcome? is this why we don't have leaders like this anymore? are people scared they might get killed by enlightening people?

I asked Democrats if they ended up in the higher tax bracket would they vote Republican, 80 percent said they would change parties based on higher tax rate. Does that surprise you?

It is a very big world and the USA believe they are correct about everything abroad. However, at home the neo-cons believe they are right and the Dems believe they are right. You say that you have free speech but if you say anything agaisnt the other party you are un- American or with the terrorists. Shouldn't you guys take a time out and figure out a way to be united instead of divided.

or is it simply being done to generate more sales and profits for drug makers? What would be wrong with the old way of doing things ..you know where your doctors told you about what pills you needed?

DID YOU KNOW THIS?

#1. The U.S.A. and New Zealand are the only countries in the whole world that allow advertising on television of pharmaceuticals.



#2. There is actually an agency that creates acronyms names for medical syndromes! In other words they make up a disorder, make up a name for it and the drug companies produces a PILL! ( I have thought this for years)



#3. Americans go to their Doctors and drive them crazy asking for pills they have heard advertised on television for medical problems they think they have.



#4. For every $1 spent on drug advertising, $4 is made in sales!



#5. The U.S.A. only amounts to 4.5% of the worlds population but over 65% of American homes take prescription drugs!



WHAT DO YOU THINK?

**if you are against illegals and amnesty** and the borders were opened and amnesty granted, would you still have an issue with it if it were no longer illegal?
