    All of the credit cards I hold have a debt ceiling. Wonder why they do that? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Romney lost because he campaigned on the idea of job creation to people who don't care to work. But this isn't about Romney. It's about a sitting president who had contempt for the idea of increasing the debt ceiling when he was a senator. Either way you spin it it still sucks. Please don't dent the planet.

    Context is everything. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/01/obama-debt-ceiling-2006-vote.html So, you're saying that he says things he doesn't mean? That's good to know. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Funny how raising the debt ceiling was never an issue when Reagan and Bush did it 25 times. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/jul/26/barack-obama/obama-says-reagan-raised-debt-ceiling-18-times-geo/ Yea...that's it. The old "he started it" argument. That will fix it. I'm gonna guess you didn't get the Politifact memo. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    It doesn't matter. As long as so many get $$ from the government the politicians have the power to threaten to withhold those monies. Obama's prediction: "Social Security checks and veterans benefits will be delayed. We might not be able to pay our troops or honor our contracts with small business owners. Food inspectors, air traffic controllers, specialists who track down loose nuclear materials wouldn't get their pay checks." Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Mr. President, I rise today to talk about America’s debt problem. The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘‘the buck stops here.’’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.

    Anyone else hate this stupid phrase? Typically at the end of a pitch for something this person wants you to buy. If I'm interested why do I need your permission to contact you? Grrrr. It ranks a close second to "to be honest with you." Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Ok..everyone's been nice. Don't get used to it. It's only when someone around the bonfire is bustin' yer balls about driving a stick shift that you're truly on your way around here Seriously though,,,impressive vid.

    I'm gonna venture a guess and suggest it might be the 'fools and birdshit' mentality. Might be interested in seeing how we deal with all types of malfunctions. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    I think the bigger problem is enduring freedom. Have to be prepared to take alot of bad with the good. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    problem is there are just too many laws in place to protect the shooter, mostly before he becomes a shooter. Suspension was most likely as far as the school could go. Order psych eval? On whose authority? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Hardly. This is the most frustrating of all of the fatality scenarios because it demands more user input and there is no standard emergency procedure. Hence it's the most difficult to solve. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    I could have worded the question better, but that would have required more of a thought process than I possessed at the time. Over the course of all the jumps you ever make, do you think you'd be more likely to be placed in a situation where you would need an AAD or an RSL? Please don't dent the planet.

    Seems a soaring company in Colorado is doing something similar. Wonder if there would be a market? http://www.aerialtribute.com/Welcome.html Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    ..under today’s policies, debt levels in 2022—as a share of GDP—will be only slightly higher than they are expected to be by the end of next year. That's something we can all be proud of. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    I'm not there but I've heard nothing. In hindsight I doubt he has any weapons. He's basically a ward of the state. Guns are expensive. Unless someone gave him one or he stole one somewhere he doesn't have the money to make the purchase. Still, it was frustrating to see the lack of action on the part of the people you should be able to depend on. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Why not provide the FULL story first. That way you'd get the best responses. Now that you've provided additional info, it look like your quandry is no longer a quandry. We didn't get this response until this evening. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Best the locals could do was be alerted. He is now aware that he is not allowed to enter the dayhab facility for any reason. If he does we are told he would be arrested. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
