I read an article by a Democrat, who suggested taxing coal plants so that running them would be more trouble than it's worth. I talked to my Republican Dad, who said we should offer tax deductions to atomic plants. I'm not quite sure what I think. What do you?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, was treated with an electric shock for an irregular heartbeat discovered during a doctor's visit on Monday, his office said.

Cheney, 66, one of President George W. Bush's closest advisers, returned home from the hospital after the procedure, which required sedation, and will resume his normal schedule at the White House on Tuesday, his office said.

I am very impressed by this man's dedication to duty and his country. He should, by all rights, take several days of bedrest.
But for some strong willed individuals, the work of the nation comes before one's own well-being.

God Speed, Vice President Cheney!

...should fertility treatment be given on the NHS? We are always being told how stretched the NHS is financially and how there are huge waiting lists etc etc, so should expensive IVF treatment be paid for by the NHS? I was watching 'Tonight with Trevor McDonald' last night, and there was a couple who were ex-heroin addicts that had been given IVF treatment on the NHS. Now aside from the obvious stupidity on the part of the NHS there, IVF treatment is not a NEED it is a WANT, and I think that the NHS should only pay out for treatment that people NEED.

What do you think?

Also, going back to the two ex-heroin addicts, I am pretty sure neither of them earned enough to afford a place to live or to look after their babies, so guess who's paying for their accommodation and everything else? Yes, us, the taxpayer. What's going on with this government?

We know there are those here in the USA who are "proponents of all that is globalization". They keep telling us globalization its here, but we also know that its here because they have pushed for policies that allow it to happen. But let us talk about the american people themselves. The ones that get up everyday and go to work and earn a living making something or selling something or providing some service.

You must make these points strictly from the point of view of these people---the great majority of americans (say at least 60% of the people). Tell us from their perspective 3 things that are bad for them and why they should reject the globalist politicians and proponents and 3 things or reasons why they should embrace the idea.

While China was sending us hundreds of thousands of lead painted toys, Nancy Nord, the acting head of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission was lounging in luxury resorts on trips paid for by the companies she is supposed to regulate.
In a repeat of the infamous “Good work Brownie” message the White House exclaimed that she was doing a “great job”.

It should be noted that Nord’s claim that these toys found their way into our stores because she was short of personnel must be questioned as months before she had refused to take money that Congress wanted to give her to hire more people and improve her internal administration.

You might also take notice that her trips were paid for by the same furniture industry that produced the defectively designed cribs that killed infants.

As this piece of corrupt garbage is still collecting tax payer money and Bush has not replaced her, I can only ask, why does Bush hate America’s children?

QUOTE " The Union Jack should be combined with the Welsh flag, according to an MP who wants the change to be made to reflect Wales's status within the UK...."Changing an iconic image such as the Union Flag may appear to be more difficult to achieve than 200 years ago, but nonetheless I believe the change is right," he said.

"Let the debate begin, let the rest of the world know that the iconic symbol of the United Kingdom may change and that the reason that it will change is that we have a new constitutional settlement that affords Wales its true place in the Union."

I have no philosophic difference with Walmart or any other retailer. Nor am I a racist. But I think we should boycott goods produced in the PRC because the Communist government is a totalitarian regime. Nobody is making any money exporting to the PRC, they are building military force specifically designed to fight the United States, they threaten American allies, they support dangerous regimes, and their products have proven to have defects or come from questionable origin. The only thing we get from the PRC is cheap stuff and every pair of tennis shoes we buy produced in the PRC builds their industrial base at the cost of America's industrial base. Would you have bought goods produced in Nazi Germany before WW2?

America ceased to be free, and stated the exact same thing that the head of homeland security stated, that we need to get rid of some freedom to be secure.

Please tell me that this isn't what you people really believe, or is it?

I hear all this ranting about burning flags being disrespectful to everyone who died for our freedom, and our troops dying for freedom are heroes, and it makes me wonder about their emotional stability to say something like this. If our troops dying for our freedom, makes them heroes, what does that make a person who is willing to throw it away, just for a promise of security?

He asked me if " I'd rather be completely free and get blown up by a suicide bomber, or lose a little freedom and not have to worry about it?"
I can't believe the look I got when I told him, "I'd rather take my chances being free, because without freedom, life seems pretty much like a waste of time." He looked at me like I didn't know what I was talking about.

I mean if we all can be equal,then me being 40 should mean nothing.I can lie about my age and say I'm 17(Like our young communist).That would be equal wouldn't it?
Or maybe we could all move in with --- that would be --- way of sharing.

We're paying for these businesses plus a tidy markup. In turn, they control our leaders, pushing them into wars. If any industry should be nationalized, it's the companies that build our military equipment.

Seems it is getting more bloated and feeding on itself, not listening to the people it is supposed to represent.
