would you know what to do to be able to survive?

(Don't you wish you'd watched more of those survival shows now?) LOL

Who remembers the power black out?

Say that was permanent. Would total chaos have ensued or would people have managed somehow?

I don't think we should go executing women for having abortions as one fanatical nutcase said, but something even worse. Making them accountable for thier own actions (wow!) by yanking the "I'm helpless and had no choice" Card out of their hands.

Lets see, IUD diaphram, the pill, timing, abstinance, morning after pill, withdrawl, and condoms. Could you visualize men getting pregnant with a phethora of birth control options to protect our bodies, but openly blaming women for getting us pregnant while proclaiming "I'm a Proud Parent!" only to enjoy 18 years of child support from each woman who inpregnated us?

Never in a million years.

Their body, their choice, their responsiblity, Period.
Abortion should be punished by adoption. Yes, I'm blaming the ladies for irresponsibly opening their legs.

20 or 30 years yet and the energy needed to extract 1 petroleum gallon will cost more than 1 petroleum gallon. It will be the beginning of the end of the petroleum age. Not too far: the most of us will see that day! Other energy sources are now still completely insufficient to replace petroleum and our technical devices are mostly not ready for conversion. What will it happen to the people living on earth? To global market and production based on the low cost of energy and transports? To the indispensable technological supports to human life? Will it be a sort of apocalypse with wars and massacres for the last petroleum drops? Before the petroleum use only 1 billion people lived on earth, now we are 6 billions: what will it happen to the exceeding 5 billions?

I believe all welfare recipients should be required to do community service work.....a way to give back for getting "freebies" (unless they are disabled, of course). What do you think?

The government is corrupt.
It is run as a fascism of the filthy rich through bribes and greed.
There is no excuse for the imbalance except for the people with everything want to keep it that way. And... THEY have the wealth, which equals power.
The rest of the blinded, controlled masses are starting to wake up from media distractions and lies, from decoy oil wars with the pretense of a "war on terrorism".
The government hides technology that could be used for the benefit of the environment and the inhabitants of this planet, because there is still money to be made with the old technologies.

And how can any one think I am not being logical, when anything they've seen or heard on TV is just filtered, spoon-fed, god damn subliminal messaging?

And please just do yourself and yours truly a favor, and open your mind as a human being Honest, unbiased consideration. I am lucid, I am aware, I am your brother and I want whats best for you and all of us. Or does this fall on deaf ears?

I seriously have doubts that there are any presidents in U.S. history that even comes close. Corruption, lies, just stand in line and follow one antother from bush.

A scandal is not the story, but rather the quanitity is the story. It is a positive trend with no end in sight. One corrupt issue after another.

Has to be some sort of record. Probably more than all our former leaders combined. (not that Bush is our legitimate leader)

My Grandfather was a judge and served on the senate. My cousin and I were going through old stuff in my Grandmothers attic because both of them had already passed away and we thought we could look at stuff and talk about memories and see old pictures, etc because our parents and uncles and aunts might throw them out one day. Anyway we went through the stuff and were shocked to discover that our Grandfather worked with McCarthy! We also found a picture of McCarthy and him next to each other and it was like seeing him next to Hitler. I don't want to remember my Grandfather has some anti-communist aide to McCarthy. I Googled his Name and McCarthy and it doesn't portray him as working with McCarthy but like he was just there interviewing people. I'm not an expert on the McCarthy Witch hunts but I just want to know if its possible that if you worked on the senate then, you had no choice but to follow orders.

Bill Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, a man wanted by the Justice Department for selling illegal Iranian oil under a US embargo and later found out to be selling illegal Iraqi oil under a UN embargo and the largest private donor to the Clinton presidental library.

Denise Rich, the wife of Saddam's personal oil broker, donated 1 million dollars to the democrat party.

http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=295926&page=1

Former American fugitive Marc Rich was a middleman for several of Iraq's suspect oil deals in February 2001, just one month after his pardon from President Clinton, according to oil industry shipping records obtained by ABC News.

And a U.S. criminal investigation is looking into whether Rich, as well as several other prominent oil traders, made illegal payments to Iraq in order to obtain the lucrative oil contracts.


http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,99302,00.html

Marc Rich's socialite ex-wife has donated an estimated $1 million to Democratic causes, including $70,000 to Hillary Clinton's successful Senate campaign and $450,000 to the Clinton presidential library fund. She also lobbied heavily for Marc's pardon.

Reposted for clarity and sources.

The women who are "invisible" to Hillary:

. At a recent campaign stop in New Hampshire when confronted if she believed Juanita Broadderick claims that her husband raped her, Hillary couldn’t recall the name of Juanita Broadderick. Yet two weeks after the rape occurred, she met Broaddrick and while squeezing her hand said, "I've heard so much about you. I've been dying to meet you", and she thanked her for all she had done for her husband.

It’s no wonder Hillary couldn’t recall the name of just one victim. There were hundreds of victims that Bill Clinton molested, or had relationships with.

Isn't Hillary a feminist who cares about women's rights?

It's not going to be free. Anyone with a fourth grade education can see what other social programs in this country cost us each year already, and the abuse some of them take.

It seems like the left is inflicted with "me"-ism. Some of you think that as long as someone else is paying for it, and not you, then it MUST be free. Are you all this selfish?

I keep hearing over and over cons complaining about taxes. "don't rais my taxes". "Blame Clinton, he raised taxes". "Read my lips, no new taxes" yeah we get the lies there in.

Any way, if you con jobs are so unpatriotic as to pay your fair share of taxes for public beaches, public school, public roads, public restrooms, public bridges, etc. Then stay off or out of them. Don't go using this patriot's countries schools. Don't go swimming at this patriot's public beach. Don't use this patriot's public restrooms.

Matter of fact if you cons are so unpatriotic to support this country, GO LIVE IN IRAQ. You prefer to allow Bush to funnel tax dollars to Iraq any way. Go join in. I'm sure you will love the great Iraqi dessert and roadside bombs.

Take off and leave the country you choose to neglect. Now who is the TRUE FREE LOADERS?

Enjoy your move to Iraq.

The report above is based on joe wilsons findings. It clearely shows that Iraq DID attempt to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger.

This is completely opposite of what he testified to, as he never thought this document would be released.
