  1. Emphasis mine...define "bit". Only a died in the wool liberal would suggest we need to spend more BTW, I was in DC yesterday. Lots of shovel ready projects going on that, when finished will provide no real sustainable jobs. They look pretty on paper tho. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

    Honor Flight

    http://www.honorflight.org/ I was fortunate enough to accompany my 86yo father to DC yesterday. Very long day that started at 3am and ended at midnite. 25 WWII and Korea vets, each accompanied by a guardian fly into BWI, hop on a bus and visit the WWII , Vietnam, Korea, Marine, and Lincoln memorials, and Arlington. 25 fun old guys, many of whom can't walk the distances necessary so they are pushed on wheelchairs by their guardians. Some very poignant moments of the day... At the WWII memorial a french woman in her mid 40's came up and thanked all of the vets. She spoke no english but it was obvious she was sincere. All day total strangers thanked the vets. A water cannon salute on landing at BWI Bagpipe salute upon return to CLE. By far the most touching moment was Arlington and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I've seen video of the changing of the guard ceremony several times but never in person. I challenge any of you to keep a dry eye. Have to admit my first reaction when asked was I'm too busy and don't have time. So glad i didn't pass on this. If you get a chance and can help I strongly suggest you do. You'll make a vets day. http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm192/airdvr1227/IMAG0313.jpg Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  3. Please don't spread bad information. It is hard enough to reasonably educate people without having incorrect terminology and bad definitions thrown around. Care to refute it. In case you're wondering my step-daughter is Downs and DD. How many of your relatives are DD? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  4. I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens. Fast and quick, no prior knowledge. Perhaps like my grandfather, in his sleep...not like the screaming passengers in his car. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  6. Mental Retardation is now referred to as Developmentally Disabled. Intellectually Disabled is just plain dumb. To heap this guy in with the DD crowd is an insult to every DD person in the world. Most of them are more intelligent than this numbskull. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  8. I've always maintained that Saddam's WMDs were transferred to Syria before the invasion. I also have zero proof. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  9. It does, but it means more to the person who has it taken from them than the person who does the taking. I don't know the specifics of this case. I have a pretty firm grip on the world of the MR. I also know defense atty's will grab at any straw. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  10. So stupid is the new retarded? Wilson was convicted in the shooting death of Jerry Robert Williams in Beaumont, Texas. According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Williams was abducted and shot after a "physical confrontation" between the two men. Retarded people don't abduct folks.

  13. I think most of the not so popular groups were the local one that were never quite able to make the leap to nationwide. In Northeast Ohio the biggest was The Michael Stanley Band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBKBVW_VcR0 Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne
  14. I'll jump in before this gets booted into the SC. Cop was writing a ticket. Owner hops in and decides he's entitled to ignore the cop. Where's a good billy club beat down when you need one? Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  16. Actually, your point is irrelevant. The OP's point was the uninformed masses don't have a plan to eliminate the debt, not the deficit. Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne

  23. Cutting 100% of discretionary spending makes an insignificant difference to the fiscal problems facing this country. Ever think of taking a math class? Are you suggesting that we can't cut the federal budget without cutting defense, MC, SS? No, I'm suggesting that you can't make cuts of any significance without cutting SS, Medicare and/or defense. All the rest is peanuts by comparison. It's not like it hasn't been spelled out to you previously www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4204028;search_string=social%20security%20medicare;#4204028 Regardless John. They want the budget cut without effecting the big 3. You decided for yourself that they are uninformed. Perhaps they are, perhaps not. Maybe they just want to see if anyone in DC is willing to cut anything at all. You might want to climb down from the ivory tower now and again and get some street level perspective on things.

  25. So I guess the idea of raising taxes is only valid if you agree with it? In one thread you rail against the luncay of tax cuts, and on the very same day have a problem with a plan that increases taxes. And you think Mitt has a problem staying on point?
