Why is it if oil prices raise it's W's fault, but nothing is said if they go down? Why is it George W's fault if a hurricane hits New Orleans just because the stupid governor and mayor did nothing? Give me some answers George Bush haters and i'll look them over.

I happen to believe that everyone owns their own bodies, and therefore they own their own labor. Health care is a service, provided by someone who has devoted a large investment of time and money to the trade. They should be able to sell their service at a rate reflective of their investment in learning it, and patients should be able to negotiate for a fair price for services performed. However, if we have a RIGHT to health care then doctors MUST perform their trade regardless of price simply because the patient NEEDS their service. In effect it is coercing the doctor to labor based not upon a mutually advantageous contract, but rather upon a definition of need defined by somebody else. And that seems inherently wrong to me. Can anyone show me the flaw in my logic without resorting to emotional appeals? Can you prove that we have a right to health care?

For example, regarding internationally monitored elections, torture, military spending, arms sales, nuclear proliferation and nuclear arms build up, and military actions that are considered dangerous aggression?

If not, why not? Isn't the best way to lead by example?

I remember in the 70s and 80s, there was a lot of right wing talk about left wing "moral relativism" and "situational ethics" yet on foreign affairs, America practices both. Whether something is immoral depends on whether we or someone else is doing it.

I think most Americans believe in all the idealistic stuff we say about human rights, democracy, and mutual respect our politicians talk about, and would like to actually see it practiced.

Senate Dems fail to cut off war funds By DAVID ESPO, AP Special Correspondent

WASHINGTON - Anti-war Democrats in the Senate failed in an attempt to cut off funds for the Iraq war on Wednesday, a lopsided bipartisan vote that masked growing impatience within both political parties over President Bush's handling of the four-year conflict.

The 67-29 vote against the Democrats' measure left it far short of the 60 needed to advance.

*****************

Compare that vote to the latest poll numbers showing the lib-Congress at 29% support.

Situation: three kids (siblings) I work with, ages 10, 11, 16. Two girls, one boy. All adopted through highly-reputable agency. 16-yr-old: has been self-mutilating for several years after being molested by older boy. Been in counseling all this time. Depressed and obese. Finally went in for day treatment and they immediately sent her away to residential treatment center. 11-year-old boy is extremely intelligent but socially awkward. Wrote paper to teacher expressing suicidal thoughts and father allegedly hitting him. Family does okay financially, big house, nice neighborhood, nice cars, kids involved in school, church, sports. Inside of their house is unsanitary, extremely cluttered, no food. Only eat fast food. Rat droppings everywhere. House is never cleaned. Kids do not sleep with sheets on bed, and they are rarely required to bathe. Dirty clothes, dirty hair. Parents pretend nothing is wrong. They don't do drugs, but have just lost control and won't admit there's a problem.

STRANGE

1. NEW YORK CITY HAS 11 LETTERS
2. AFGHANISTAN HAS 11 LETTERS
3. RAMSIN YUSEB (THE TERRORIST WHO THREATENED TO DESTROY THE TWIN TOWERS IN 1993) HAS 11 LETTERS.
4. GEORGE BUSH HAS 11 LETTERS

THIS COULD BE A MERE CO-INCIDENCE BUT THIS GETS MORE INTERESTING.

1. NEW YORK IS THE 11TH STATE
2. THE FIRST PLANE TO CRASH INTO THE TWIN TOWERS WAS FLIGHT NO 11.
3. FLIGHT 11 WAS CARRYING 92 PASSENGERS 9 + 2 = 11
4. FLIGHT 77 WHICH ALSO HIT THE TWIN TOWERS WAS CARRYING 65 PASSENGERS. 6 + 5 = 11
5. THE TRADGEDY WAS ON SEPTEMBER 11TH NOW KNOWN AS 9/11 9 + 1 + 1 =11
6. THE DATE IS EQUAL TO THE U.S. EMERGENCY SERVICES. TEL. NO. 911. 9 + 1 + 1 =11

SHEER CO-INCIDENCE?!!! READ ON & MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP.

1. THE TOTAL NO OF VICTIMS INSIDE ALL THE HI-JACKED PLANES WAS 254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
2. SEPTEMBER 11TH IS DAY NO. 254 OF THE CALENDAR YEAR. Again 2 + 5 + 4 = 11
3. THE MADRID BOMBING TOOK PLACE ON THE 3/11/2004
4. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11
5. THE TRADGEDY OF MADRID TOOK PLACE 911 DAYS AFTER THE TWIN TOWERS.

NOW THIS IS WHEN THINGS GET TOTALLY EERIE.

THE MOST RECOGNISED SYMBOL FOR THE U.S. AFTER THE STARS & STRIPES IS THE EAGLE. THE FOLLOWING VERSE IS TAKEN FROM THE QURAN THE ISLAMIC HOLY BOOK.
FOR IT IS WRITTEN THAT A SON OF ARABIA WOULD AWAKEN A FEARSOME EAGLE. THE WRATH OF THE EAGLE WOULD BE FELT THROUGHOUT THE LANDS OF ALLAH WHILE SOME OF THE PEOPLE TREMBLED IN DESPAIR STILL MORE REJOICED FOR THE WRATH OF THE EAGLE CLEANSED THE LANDS OF ALLAH AND THERE WAS PEACE.THAT VERSE IS NO 9.11 OF THE QURAN.

UNCONVINCED ABOUT ALL THIS.............................STILL?

TRY THIS AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL AFTERWARDS, IT MADE MY HAIR STAND ON END.

1. OPEN MICROSOFT WORD (OR WORD PERFECT OR WORD PAD) AND DO THE FOLLOWING

2. TYPE IN CAPITALS Q33 NY THIS IS THE FLIGHT NO OF THE FIRST PLANE TO HIT THE TWIN TOWERS

3. HIGHLIGHT THE Q33 NY

4. CHANGE THE FONT SIZE TO 48

5. CHANGE THE ACTUAL FONT TO WINGDINGS.

Is the media bias in coverage of crimes commited by white people against black victims compared to black against white?

I recently read an article about the recent murder of a white couple by 5 black assailants. This crime was extremely brutal but received no media coverage. Compare a similar "hate crime" such as the murder of James Byrd.

Is this proof that the media is bias and only willing to cover issues that promote their agenda? James Byrd's murder was used to promote hate crime legislation even though two of the men were sentenced to death and the third to life, all without the hate crime legislation.
