This appeared today in the New York Times in a story about an American medic:

Petty Officer Kirby began to list the schools he had attended to be ready for this moment. Some he had paid for himself, he said, to be extra-prepared.
In one course, an advanced trauma treatment program he had taken before deploying, he said, the instructors gave each corpsman an anesthetized pig.
“The idea is to work with live tissue,” he said. “You get a pig and you keep it alive. And every time I did something to help him, they would wound him again. So you see what shock does, and what happens when more wounds are received by a wounded creature.”
“My pig?” he said. “They shot him twice in the face with a 9-millimeter pistol, and then six times with an AK-47 and then twice with a 12-gauge shotgun. And then he was set on fire.”
“I kept him alive for 15 hours,” he said. “That was my pig.”
“That was my pig,” he said.
****
Are you outraged about such cruelty to animals? Or, do you think it is justifiable?

before all this happened, he had jury duty all week the week before..

my husband is a cna, and he was transferring someone who was in a shower chair into his wheelchair and the resident decided he was just going to sit down even before the wheelchair was near him and my husband had to quickly get a grip on him so he wouldnt fall. he had 2 people that saw this happen and confirm that it wasnt his fault.. and therefore he pulled his back muscle really bad and was put on light duty, now he's on some stupid muscle relaxer cause doctors are ******* stupid..

anyway, he's been working at this place for about a month- and i dont know what the regular policy for workers comp is, but they're only giving him 50% of his pay until he's better because he got hurt.



is this legal????????????

Kent Hovind was just found guilty of Tax evasion and now they might send him too jail for life, 288 years, just for tax evasion. It's rediculous, just for tax evasion. Some commit murder and only get 15 years. what do you think?

SEATTLE - A school bus driver fired after she reportedly made an obscene gesture at President Bush has filed a union grievance in an attempt to get her job back.

The 43-year-old driver, whose name was not released, was driving middle school children back to school after a zoo visit on June 16 when the president and Republican Rep. Dave Reichert drove slowly by in a motorcade

That’s when the driver gave the president the finger, according to Reichert and Issaquah superintendent Janet Barry.

“The congressman hadn’t seen it, but the president turned to him and said, ‘That one’s not a fan,”’ said Reichert spokeswoman Kimberly Cadena.

Would suspension have been enough?

Are people so mad at Bush that they can't control themselves in front of kids?

There are several states considering bills which would force governments to compensate land owners if their land was devalued after a rezoning effort, or if they declare the land unfit to build on due to wetlands, etc.

I live next to a rental property (a house) that is in horrible condition. I have contacted the landlord and property management company but they refuse to do anything. There is no way I will even be able to sell my house with that mess next door to me. I live in Houston, Harris County. I have not been able to find any online resources or city agencies that might help. The homeowners assoc. doesn't care either so that isn't an option. Anyone have any ideas?

State of Michigan against an offender, while the offended party is backing off, saying smth like - '...I am not going to press the charges, my beloved was under the influence of stupidity, it will never happen again' ( lot's of nuts) but anyway, the offender is having a choice of
1) non-jury trial ( win [case closed, anger mgmt classes]/lose[???] situation;

2) accept a deal with a public prosecutor and for year or so 'show up for check-up.'

What's done is done, so now : 1 or 2, that is a question.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 (HalliburtonWatch.org) -- The Bush administration has successfully stalled a federal investigation into alleged bribes that were paid by Halliburton when Vice President Dick Cheney was CEO, a company filing released Tuesday shows.

Investigators think the bribes -- totaling $180 million -- were paid to officials in the government of Nigeria for the purpose of winning a multi-billion dollar construction contract.

Should this investigation move forward?

I guess I should've been more clear in my last question. My landlord IS a sex offender and he got his offense for being with a minor. I didn't know he was until after I moved in and had already signed my lease. Can he evict me for telling someone when they have a right to know.I know all of this for a fact.

A valid test to determine if a person was actually stoned at a given time like they have for alcohol would help keep highways and workplaces safe without interferring with choices people make for recreation in the privacy of there own homes or an outing with a disignated driver. I'ld really like to know if one is under developement, can't be, or has been and hushed up. Should I repeat this Q in science and medicine?

I had told someone that he was a sexoffender and now he is threatening to evict me. That is public information and there are people that live in the building who have kids, I think it is only fair and their right to know this.
