Politics - 21 September 2007

Well OK actually I can afford it, but can you see the stupidity of the attack? Just because someone doesn't have something doesn't mean someone else owes it to them. Even if it's not their fault they don't have it, that STILL doesn't obligate someone ELSE to provide it to them. A free society means individuals are not bound to each other in that respect - they aren't responsible for each other, they're just responsible not to harm each other. If you're obligated, simply by the fact that you exist, to support someone else - that's the opposite of liberty. It's the opposite of the principles on which this nation was founded.

700,000 casualties, millions of refugees, millions of displaced people, destruction of 2 countries, producing hatred, prejudice, intolerance and discrimination worldwide. Can we see again liberalism and tolerance?

Why didn't they vote yes for condemning all attacks on those who served?

"Obama, Clinton and Dodd voted for an alternative resolution offered minutes earlier by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. That resolution condemned political attack ads, including those that questioned the patriotism of Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and former Sen. Max Cleland, D-Ga., both Vietnam veterans. It failed 50-47."

I'm not phrasing this toward liberals or conservatives. Obviously each group tends to think the other is responsible for this nation and the world becoming a more politically, economically and socially dangerous place.

Personally, I feel that we are racing toward many types of widespread catastrophe. It's as much fueled by a gut feeling as it is evidence and troublesome current events.

Please indicate whether you share this sentiment, and to what degree. You may also include your political persuasions (i.e. liberal, conservative, moderate), but please leave out any politically motivated accusation for WHY the world seems to be heading in the direction that it is.

Thanks!

Hillary has voted against a senate measure condemning a MoveOn.org ad that refers to Gen. Patreus as Gen. Betray Us. Later in the news article, (link posted below,) She is quoted:

In an interview with The Associated Press Tuesday, Clinton declined to address the ad, saying instead: "I have been an admirer of General Petraeus for a number of years. I have said that on numerous occasions. I reiterated it, and I think my words speak for themselves."

So how it is not a flip-flop for her to have voted against defending the man against MoveOn.org's smear campaign?

I don’t think so!
That is giving them WAY too much credit.
They may take lives, they may take property and create economic havoc, but they can’t take my freedom.
So, is the war in Iraq about my freedom or the Iraqis freedom or both?
I just don’t get how people can buy into these stupid slogans.
Please someone explain.
Thanks for reading!

Are the troops home yet? Do we still have Wire Taps? Is the patriot act still the law of the land and how is that Bush Impeachment going?

Do liberals feel like JILTED lovers left at the ALTER?

"It is important for everyone to understand that the vast majority of these products that we recalled were the result of a flaw in Mattel's design, not through a manufacturing flaw in Chinese manufacturers."

If not, then we have not won. The defining moment for victory in my opinion, is Saddam dead (1), Iran and Syria crushed (2), and Osama dead (3), and THEY regretting their attack(4). WE ARE AMERICANS. STAND PROUD.

This isn't like asking an auto insurer to take on, or not charge more for, people who have been in accidents in the past.

This is more like getting into a car accident and then applying for car insurance and asking the insurance company to pay for the accident that already happened.

It's not a risk of loss, it's a loss.

That's not what insurance is.

Insurance is the pooling of risk. The actuarial tables say that out of 100,000 people, X% will get cancer, Y% will develop some other malady, etc...., and the premium rates are designed to ensure a modest operating profit if something slightly over the actuarial risks occur.

A pre-existing condition means that person is 100% likely to have the problem thus incur the costs. A few of those really throws off the model - 28 out of 1,000 is very different from 30 out of 1,002, when you consider that the premiums paid by everyone are supposed to offset the high costs incurred for the handful that do become ill.

When he said "This country needs an energy policy that encourages consumption!" did he mean just that? It would help his energy partners and campaign contributers out. Could he also have meant what he said about bringing on more insurgent attacks? It would boost his stock value in Carlyle and give him a reason to remain in Iraq longer.
