I don't care if people think global warming is a hoax. If it will lead to policies to get rid of all the cell phone yakkers driving their big gas guzzlers, then global warming has accomplished something.

This is a result of scientists and environmental groups re-"framing" the argument in order to achieve a higher degree of buy-in from the American public. Moving away from the science argument towards one surrounding jobs and the economy allows a different portion of the population to come on-board - even if they agree that climate change is not a top priority. Read Nordhaus' piece on the Death of Environmentalism to understand the reasons behind this - a great piece.

Hey Victor, thanks for telling it like it is! We all know that what you say is REAL. All these lying azz Republicans are about to make a whole lot of folks SNAP!

These people do not care about facts! They appear to get a kick out of making up lies! Just like that Rush fellow on the radio..., and those right -wing haters in congress. They don't ... Read Morecare about the truth..., they just want to divide and conquer..., they want to WIN! They want more money in their own pocket and their friends pocket. These people are dangerous! I am sure this man had problems and I don't doubt that someone triggered him...and took him over the edge! I can't feel sorry for him..., because we are all at war...,and these are the casualties of war. I do hope the people who were killed and the ones who survived are decorated as if they were in war territory..., Give them the purple hearts...,

Victor-I agree with your cogent comments-the only thing I have trouble conceiving of is an Officer being bullied....Yes, there are people who happen to be Officers (and for this matter Psychiatrists) of all types and psychological make ups-but as a Retired Medical Services Corps Officer myself.
Without knowing all the details, which will never ... Read Moreall be know, the bullying story is a cover for wanting out before facing the horrors of War, of which this tragic event is just one more horror. I have compassion for the killer, and for all of us, but compassion is not mean I have to buy his story without question. Yesterday afternoon, listening to the NPR update on this tragedy, it finally hit me very hard. I cried as it brought up all of the crap that I have worked so hard at leaving behind since retiring form the Army. War is Hell, and every Hell is very personal and unique.

Here's an interesting read (altho I wd've written it w less gloss & ideological tunnelling thruout but esp in the 1st few chapters; at the time, all in this bk was written w/o those things - very scary how fast we forget) ""The Man Who Sold the World: Ronalk Reagan & the Betrayal of Main Street America," William Kleinknecht, Nation Books, 2009.

I remember going through Check Point Charlie in December, 1977 when I was 19 years old. I can recall intimidating armed guards cautiously letting us drive through into this country that I only remember in colors: gray, brown, black. People there looked like they were living 30 years behind us. In West Germany, life was vibrant. In East Germany time stood still.

i looked at the info on webmd and i listened and read the info suggested by sas... i feel dr. mercola is much more thorough in his explanation of the real threat of the swine flu and the vaccine. it's true, i myself am not a doctor, but when i am a critical thinker and an analytical thinker! everyone should be, govt info has to be taken for what it's worth and often with a grain of salt.

I also just found out that Merck developed a swine flu vaccine 5 years ago!!! This is why we need health care reform. You cant make money in curing something only in treating it! Our wellfare shouldnt be a commodity. They knew this was coming, what possible reason is there a sortage of the vaccine, and why after 5 years has no testing been done on it, go be a guinea pig if you want.

Having worked for two hmo's I can say that they don't care one iota for your well being. Only that you continue paying for something you will never get. I've recieved numerous calls from seniors, some war vets, having to make the chooice between groceries and medicine because their health insurance company stripped them of their benefits, their ... Read Moremedicines and raised their premiums and copays. As my supervisor said to me on several occasions, "We want members, NOT patients. It may be immoral, but it's legal". For three years insurance employees were denied a raise because of "profit losses" but the president got a 28 million dollar bonus for Christmas. We don't have a "healthcare system", we have a "healthcare market". We are the only industrialized nation without healthcare for all it's citizens. The WHO puts us at 46 after Costa Rica in mortality rate. 62% of ALL PERSONAL BANKRUPCIES are a direct result of healthcare debt. These moronic fools who listen to O'Reilly, Limbo, and Beck are simply sheep who want to make the black man who is OUR PRESIDENT the sole reason for our country's present state. IT"S RACIST. The bigotry these evil people spew is beyond vile. If you're AMERICAN THEN SUPPORT YOUR PRESIDENT like when dubya was in office. You were "unAmerican" and "unpatriotic" if you said anything against Bush or Cheney. APPLY THE SAME DAMN STANDARD NOW AND BE AMERICAN...FOR ALL AMERICANS.
