African-Americans are victims of nearly half the murders committed in the United States despite making up only 13 percent of the population, a report published Thursday showed.
Around 8,000 of nearly 16,500 murder victims in 2005, or 49 percent, were black Americans, according to the report released by the statistics bureau of the Department of Justice.

Broken down by gender, 6,800 black men were murdered in 2005, making up more than half the nearly 13,000 male murder victims.

Black women made up 35 percent, or 1,200, of the nearly 3,500 female homicide victims.

Young black men aged between 17 and 29 bore a disproportionately high burden in the grim statistics, making up 51 percent of African-American murder victims.

More than half of Americans say US news organizations are politically biased, inaccurate, and don't care about the people they report on, a poll published Thursday showed.
And poll respondents who use the Internet as their main source of news -- roughly one quarter of all Americans -- were even harsher with their criticism, the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center said.

More than two-thirds of the Internet users said they felt that news organizations don't care about the people they report on; 59 percent said their reporting was inaccurate; and 64 percent they were politically biased.

More than half -- 53 percent -- of Internet users also faulted the news organizations for "failing to stand up for America".

Even if you have insurance, your copay is very often higher than the full cost of the same meds (made by same the company) in Canada.

The cost for a some generic drugs can be slightly lower in the U.S., but on balance, Americans pay much more.

"For example, a common dosage of Celebrex, an arthritis relief medicine, costs $85.99 in the United States and $44.76 in Canada. A particularly striking comparison involves the breast cancer drug Tamoxifen, a common dosage of which sells for $340.77 in America and $39.19 in Canada."

http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/462504

“Perhaps most galling,” Greider writes, “is our neighbors in Canada pay about 62 percent of what we do for the same medicines.” Sixty tablets of the cholesterol drug Zocor cost $43.97 in Canada and $109.43 just across the border in Vermont. The arthritis drug Relafen® runs $60 for 100 pills in Canada and $120.27 in Vermont.

I've noticed lately that there is an increasing number of carbon-copy republican talking point postings on political blogs, websites, etc., including yahoo answers - politics. Their opinions are so similar to official republican talking points that I'm suspicious that so many folks could be that stupid to support the Bush/Cheney's administration - could they be paid political operatives?

Assuming Universal Health Care would cost you much less, assuming you would get quality care, assuming there were absolutely no ceiling on your coverage... would you still be opposed to Universal Health Care soley on the grounds that your tax dollars were going to provide complete health coverage to others who didn't pay the same amount of taxes, or any taxes?

Would you chose to pay significantly more for private insurance, even if the only 'benefit' was the satisfaction of knowing that people who had no insurance, or less insurance, were suffering because of it?

Why do u criticize Bush for the war when:
1. many of the terrorist involved in 9/11 were Iraqis or had a friend or a relative living there
2. Iraq did have WMD, we have found them all
3. Hussein and Osama used to hang out together
4. We are now highly respected all around the world for liberating the Iraqis.

If you look without adding propaganda (that the national news spouts) into the equation you can see what may happen, fairly easy. I can see another attack and the elections will be canceled because marshal law is declared by Bush. Bush will continue to be the President until the NAU is created...at that time there will be a voting, that will only include the elite, to decide who will chair the NAU (a makeshift "President" and be over the working groups of the SPP. (I hope I am not correct, but I was dead on about the US attacking Iraq when I said it in 2000 and I could see Bush doing this also to stay in power)

Bush has already created the laws (by sign in statements added to other laws) which would make the implantation of removal of the people's rights and the completion of the North American Union very easy to finish.
