Its a case of we are bad but it's OK because some of the worst regimes in human history were worse. Tell that to the innocent at GITMO I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Kinda like the Nazi pigs in Colton, Ca. that arrested me for being drunk in public (in my house), when they got me to their jail they said," we have to send you to another jail. Which one would you prefer?" And I said " Preferably NONE OF THE ABOVE" I beat em in court at a cost. Nice paying my money to fight the pigs that are being paid w/ MY MONEY.

SOS, different day. Let's see if the pigs( I mean police officers) try to take their guns away. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

Lets see how the hardcore (my govt. will take care of me) vets will respond. Do you really need an answer to this question. I won't try to defend this, it was a different generation of people in government and the military back then. What I can tell you without hesitation, is that it is the Vietnam generation that has ensured the current generation of vets are getting orders-of-magnitude better care from A-Z. They have done so, at the expense of their own cause, and that shows how great a generation they are. I believe the VA will clear the way, but it will be a trudge. Edit to add: I did find some information that may be helpful for any vets from that time, and might have been involved in Project SHAD: www.projectshad.org They also outline some contact information and a hotline contact at the VA http://www.projectshad.org/contact.htm Unfortunately, the site doesn't look like it's been keeping up with recent events. I found this on OSD site: http://fhp.osd.mil/shad/faqs.jsp But, in case the question doesn't pop up, here the text I'm citing: Also, it's likely the VA knows about this too: Gimme a break. Same shit different day. Govt's all over the world could not give a flying fuck about their citizens. Mo money in my pocket lying thieving corrupt motherfuckers. Do you really thing they give a fuck about you? Wake up man. This is the REAL world.

Source: Telegraph I don't think too many countries extend a warm welcome to convicted felons. I thought you couldn't get a passport if you are a convicted felon I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

But so use them as test rats in a lab for 30 bucks a pop. Gimme a break bro. How about some SERIOUS counsuling and pay them what they really deserve. I know a lot of vets. Some do alot better than others. My dad was the COL. and a dick til his dieing day. Look, I'm not saying they did it right, I said I think they are doing right. A buddy of mine with PTSD, and currently awaiting his MEB is smoking between three and four packs of smokes per day. Sh*t, I know guys without PTSD that are that bad in the Army. This article brought to light that one of the physical health factors that must be addressed with PTSD is tobacco use. Using a drug to assist with quitting smoking isn't necessarily a bad idea. Using such drugs with subjects that have psychological problems means strong oversight is necessity, and study is worth the resources. These guys knew they were being experimented with, and I didn't read there was much of an issue with that. However, the biggest issue that came to light (in my observation) was how the VA should have responded more directly. Also, the Washington Times also reported that it is not conclusive that Chantix was the direct cause of the behavior being reported. It's not like this guy's VA pension was tied in with this study. Most medical studies don't pay out wicked amounts of money to participants. I'm in a traumatic injury study with the Army and Johns Hopkins Univ. I received less than this guy did... If he's got PTSD and already involved with VA, he's getting more than a Chantix study out of it. The article is narrow in scope though, so who knows. Hell. I smoke 3 packs a day when working. They have nicorette gum and patches and all kinds of over the market stuff. Never worked for me. A striff drink after work and a few smokes and I'm good to go. I've never been in military combat but I've led a pretty rough life on the streets that comes close. Each person is different. I just feel they are being taken adavantage of. Com'n man.This shit has been going on since the 50's to this day. http://www.gulfwarvets.com/hallucinogen_lsd_military.htm Do you really trust your govt that much? I can pull up hundreds of horror stories. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

That argument doesn't hold water and you know it. Shale oil and fields in the ocean have since been discovered. US and Canadian shale oil sources add up in trillions of barrels of oil. Trillions. Orders-of-magnitude more than the middle east. Concur. So how about putting as much passion and effort (& advocating your representatives do as well) into advocating for solar energy and other alternative energy sources? I have, but I do not subscribe to "oil must be replaced" theology. I've said time and a again that eliminating sources of energy is not an energy policy. There is no reason to set any expectation about "alternatives" to oil. There is every reason to set expectations of supplemental technologies to oil. How? Clean coal power, nuclear, hydro and solar could power the grid without oil if we would just build the plants. We need not burn a single drop of oil to power the grid. Natural gas and geothermal is an excellent home heating option. Hell, wood is too (on a micro scale) if it's replenished. Coal-gas conversion can also supplement along with solar. Hybrid technologies to supplement heavy trucks and assist with fuel consumption (high torque up and down). Honda's FCX is on the market now, but hydrogen fuel cell technology is a long way off. Those vehicles cost Honda nearly $1M/each to make. Hybrid vehicles are nice, but efficient internal combustion engines continue to advance. If the government doesn't stop anyone from doing anything, the market will find solutions for everyone. Meanwhile, if we harvest our own resources for use on the global market, we, the USA advance our own policies, provide a stable supply to the world, and maintain a true leadership role. These are answers we start NOW. We don't need a Kyoto Treaty or some ambiguous accord. OK. Energy is a big portion of what I do We are getting ready to build the first solar/ natural gas powerhouse in the country in Vivtorville, Ca. A whopping 50 MW solar, 500 dual cycle natural gas fired plant. Guess what. The enviornmentalists are pitching a bitch cause the solar panels take up so many acres. All the animals and plants and blah blah blah. I've helped build a few dual cycles in the last few years. Natural gas is clean and plentyful. The Gov. of Ca. (Ca energy commission) has a ton of powerhouse const. on hold right now. Guess why? Ca. is going green. The lie is solar and wind only provide a fraction of the MW's needed and we are buying from other states coal and diesel (POLLUTING) powerhouses at in inflated rate to make Ca. look green. It's all smoke and mirrors grasshopper. Hydrogen. The most abunda element in the universe. (I think) Only way to go but I won't see it in my lifetime. The rich have to get richer at the expense of the poor.

But, but, but, what about these poor people.>http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20071021/business/business4.html Ah, fuck em. We (the USA) needs cheap energy. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

But I just said that off-shore rigs don't pose a real threat to the environment. In fact, they seem to have helped it. Rep. John Peterson (R-PA) introduced yesterday regarding exploration on the Continental Shelf. It was dropped in committee. He plans on reintroducing today or tomorrow. The US government is not an expert on oil exploration. In fact, Congress is planning on privatizing their own restaurants...now there's talk of them handling health care and energy even more? Sorry, I really, really, really hate your idea. How about: Socialism doesn't work. Your right about bullet number one and two. We and estimated trillions of resources in the shelf and rocky mountains (shale oil). Government needs to get out of the way.Quote Speaking of shale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_shale_reserves I was to start working on one of the first shale oils jobs in 81 I think, in CO. All the talk. Condos to live in and co. trucks for everyone. Seems if I remember correctly the REAGAN administration had the plug pulled on all that shit. I starved for a yr. under that bastard. Finally went back to work for 5 bucks an hr. vs. the 19 I was making at the time to feed my kids. trickle down economics, don't ya love em. The gov't needs to stay the fuck out. I say let em drill everywhere. Safety for workers and the enviornment has come a long way except in third world countries. They have to drill either now or later. No Doubt.

I normally do just that. But in construction my jobs are all over. I travel 50 miles a day right now and if I calculate rent and gas vs. the hotel it's about the same. Plus no drive and wear and tear on the truck. Downside. Most of the hotels are scumbag for 300 a week w/ all the transients living there and in THE HOOD. Catch 22. You tell me.

Yeah. I'll ride my bike 50 miles to work and back down the freeways or a 100 on the city roads. Get killed by some asshole road rage driver. Or I can Take a week off to the tune of 2 grand. Yeah.
