    The approach to letting us believe that our Congress is NOT influenced by the tiny fraction of one percent of our citizens that max out their political contributions that I like is this: Let citizens give $100 coupons to their choice of candidates for their congressional districts to any candidate who agrees to accept only those funds. Prof. Lawrence Lessig and Root Strikers seem to support such a plan. You may be able to find a video of a talk by Lessig that discusses such a plan.

    can you provide where this picture was taken? Is the person a monsanto employee and what type of crop were they spraying with the herbicide?
    Thank you

    There is no such thing as cop-killer bullets, unless of course you mean any bullet fired at a cop. There is no kind of bullet that just kills police. I think the bullets you are referring to are hollow point bullets, which the cops themselves carry. I know this is just your little patch of the web to spew your rhetoric, but this is just too stupid to let go.

    Using your brain is fine, but it could stand some fine tuning. Your wording, "...that was released and confirmed by ABC, NBC, MSNBC and the like..." obscures rather than clarifies how this happened: the video was first aired by MSNBC, then aired again by others without challenge; that is not the same as "released and confirmed by..." all of them. And who is "the like"? <blockquote>Mandating hospitals to perform abortions regardless of the religious orientation of said hospitals?"</blockquote> A statement in the form of an unanswered question is a technique often used to create misleading impressions. Specifics, please.

    Tail end of the Baby-Boomers and as we anticipated for years, Medicare is looking bleak for us! The recession took our savings, so, if we did have diversified assets we could liquidate them to survive, along with selling everything but the kitchen sink, to save our homes, and eat! Health care now, takes a chunk out of our checks, with a $2,000.00 deductable before they pay a dime on anything, including office visits and they get a nice premium every month too stick in their pockets, and no money out on thier part, no wonder the insurance companies have so much power they are rich off of us! But, to be responsible your scared to death not to have a policy. Scary,scary stuff going on in our beloved country! Middle clas gone. You have the rich and then the poor.
