Take the profit out of war. Make it a crime for weapons companies to turn a profit. They are death merchants and nothing more. Further more, keep the military out of the public schools. Stop recruiting kids to use as tools. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Of the six richest countries the U.S. has the most expensive and the worst healthcare on the planet. I would like to see the government do what we pay them to do. They work for you and me. Their job is to find solutions and to implement those solutions. Yet, all that ever gets done is absolutely nothing. Instead of using my money to help me, they use my money to pay themselves outragous salaries. They use it to start wars. They waste it fighting amongst themselves. As for the majority of doctors? I'd like to find a doctor who is more concerned about the patient and least concerned about getting out to the golf course or less concerned about how much money they can surgically remove from the patients bank account. As it is now, there is really no check and balance between the healthcare system and the government. The two need to work side by side. Pharmetcutical companies are out of control with the amount of power that they have over the FDA. They are able to fast track dangerous drugs and care very little, if at all, about they number of people who die due to their lack of concern. Same with some doctors. No concern whether you live or die. The concern seems to only be how far can they push the cost with the least amount of service Take, for example, a viral load test. The test cost more than $150.00. Before blood is even drawn you are charged just for walking into the doctors office. You are billed for the blood being drawn. You are charged for the blood being transfered. You are charged by the people who will test the blood. After that, several people will "read" the results and they will submit their bill. By the time it gets back to your doctor, it will have a number of fees attached to it. If you want to hear the results of the test, you will, again, have to pay for another doctors office visit. My last viral load test was done more than 2 years ago and I have yet to hear the results. Yet, I paid out of pocket for all that was done with the blood that was drawn. To hear those results will cost me. Part of the problem is the growing field of "specialty" doctors who feel that their "specialty" is worth what they charge. They do as they please with little concern of being questioned about their practice. My caseworker asked me once what was more important, my bills or getting treated. I told her that keeping a roof over my head was far more importanted than healthcare. That is a no brainer. Better to be under a roof and sick than living on the street and sick. Without any real type of heathcare insurance my money is better spent on electricity, phone and house payment. I have an appointment in Sept. to have another viral load taken. Chances are great that I will never hear the results of this test as it will take a couple of years to pay down this bill. It amounts to giving them money to really do nothing at all. Considering that I am not eligible for the meds, checking to see how far something advances is really just a waste of time and money. If my government is not going to use my tax dollars to help me then I would rather never give another penny to this government. I should be entitled to the same amount of care that is given to the president and the vice president. My money pays for their healthcare. Why is it not used for mine? Stop the exportation of our tax dollars to foriegn countries. Stop the funneling of tax dollars to special interest groups. Remove the control that pharm companies have over the FDA. Force a lowering of cost and force the doctors to provide better service. Take an example from countries that do provide great service with low cost. The U.S. needs to get off of its high horse and realize that we have the worst of everything at the most outrageous cost on the planet. Realizing that this question is being asked by someone who probally does not have a life threatening illness and most likely has great insurance, I feel that such people have absolutely no understanding whatsoever about how the system works or how it works hard to provide the least. They walk around with rosey glasses on and want to blame those who have no healthcare for the rising cost. The blame lies soley on the greed of the companies who are only in it for the money. I also blame those wearing their rosey glasses as they are to blind with rage against those who truely need help in this country. It is such a shame that so many Americans would just be as happy as hell to kill off the sick when they should be screaming at the government for the quagmire that has been created out of greed. But, this country was built on killing and greed. For an American to expect help from it's own government has become an unamerican thing to expect.

Wishing for them to always be safe, Steve. Hoping they all come back soon. Peace, Brother. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Toss in some free Animal Crackers at the taxpayers expense and I'm onboard for the long haul. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

WTF... No whaletail, oversize airdamn, ground scraping ground effects and a stinger tailpipe? Don''t you want to be noticed? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

El Paso Texas passed the first m.j. law to try and curb Mexican migration. Harry Anslinger with the help of Randolph Hearst wage a propaganda campaign against m.j.. Their lies still are being told today. Henery Ford designed the first Model T to run on hemp fuel. http://www.hempcar.org/ford.shtml It is also believed that Henery liked to smoke as well. The founding fathers had many uses for the weed they were growing besides industrial. Many medicines, up untill the Stamp Tax Act, were derived from marijuana. http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/hemp/taxact/mjtaxact.htm The A.M.A. had but a few seconds to refute Anslinger and were all but ignored. Anslinger convinced the board that marijuana was the main cause for insanity, murder, rape and eventually death. Anslinger was a diehard prohibitionist. In later years he was able to concinve the congress that marijuana was also responsible for communism. If marijuana was as dangerous as the feds say it is, I wonder, where are all of the crazy people, rape victims, murder victims and dead people from the marijuana overdoses? Hard to believe that some are still so guilable to buy into the propaganda. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I think they paid HH for advertising that keeps this site open, likely more than any of us have. I have yet to click on it even though there is likely some some form of hypnotic compulsion designed into the banner to make us click on it The Army will give you a "free" cd video game if you visit their site. (more waste of the taxpayers money) In reply to the post suggesting that 18yo's will become drug addicts if they don't join. This war and the same with past wars, is producing drug addicts, homeless, unemployable, mental illness, armless, legless, faceless and dead people. I'd much rather an 18yo look into college, tech school or an apprenticeship or simply apply for work at the factory. I much rather they meet someone and get married, have children and raise their families. I'd much rather they grow old with their arms, legs, faces and with their minds intact. Maybe a casualty report will put this bullshit war into perspective for those who are hellbent on sending kids and anyone else into a meatgrinder while they sit safe and sound at home. http://icasualties.org/oif/default.aspx "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

I've been addicted to A.C's. for years. They are a gateway cracker and can lead a person down a dark road of carnivorous desires. All that I can say about them if you do decide to experiment with such an innocent looking cracker is to stear clear of the colored crackers as the byproduct of eating such can be quite colorful "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

Postal service requires a certian distance from the road when the mail is delivered from a vehicle. I need to buy a game cam. They're sure to strike again "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

The U.S. has economic dealings with countries that have a far worst human right record than that of Cuba. We don't wait untill their leaders die to initiate trade. We allow it because their are people in need but, the main reason is because their is money to be made all the way around. For too many years we have not allowed full trade to punish one man who dared to go against the U.S.. Not only does it hurt relations and trade but, it makes us look like stubborn children who are being stubborn out of spite.

Yup, you'll be a real hit with those week old http://www.landshire.com/sandwichlist1.htm "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/cuba/cuba-faq.html I read elsewhere that the U.S. is the 3rd largest importer to Cuba. The embargo should end and open Cuba to further trade and tourism. http://www.usitc.gov/ext_relations/news_release/2007/er0719ee1.htm "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

And that is exactly what the government told us about those godless Russians! The Russians are coming!, The Russians are coming!, The Russians are coming! Chain of events since 9-11. U.S, attacks the Taliban in Afghanistan for harboring Osama Bin Laden. U.S. goes full bore then hands the job over to tribal warlords. Bin Laden escapes U.S. invades Iraq claiming that Saddam was on the verge of attacking U.S. soil with weapons of mass destruction. Bin Laden is a happy man U.S. goes full bore into Iraq Binny kicks back and laughs is ass off (it was reported that surgeons in Pakistan reattached it promptly. Musharraf sends a get well soon gift). Bush administration claims "Mission Complete" shortly after the invasion. Doctors in Pakistan sedate Bin Laden to keep him from laughing newly attached ass off. Poppy farms and herion production goes into full swing in Afghanistan. Bin Laden relaxing comfortably in a safe place. U.S. stuck in a quagmire. Bin Laden able to use Iraq to recruit more for his cause. Many Americans and innocent Iraqis now dead with many more deaths to come. Bin Ladens ideology spreads U.S. all but ignores the growing turmoil in Afghanistan. The American people have had enough. Presidents approval rating at 28% 80% of the Iraqi people want the U.S. out President ignores logic and reason Bin Laden is one happy man "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

Now, would that be the guy on the left or the right in the picture? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

I talked to the mail lady this afternoon. Several other boxes down the road got batted also last night. She told me, last summer, several guys got caught batting boxes. They were in their 30's. Not teenagers. They were made to replace the boxes and pay each owner $75.00. The best thing would be to put a guard around the box. Yet, one should not need to do such. The idea of putting a game-cam in a position to capture a plate number and the act being committed is the best idea. No one gets hurt, I get compensated and they, hopefully, learn their lesson.

I wonder if that song was part inspiration for Rage Against the Machine's song "Bulls on Parade" What someone wrote on the song; "Bulls on Parade" is a song released by Rage Against the Machine in 1996, and can be found on their second album Evil Empire. One of Rage's signature songs, it deals with what is commonly referred to as the "military-industrial complex", which is the tendency of industry (the arms industry in particular) to encourage military action in order to gain military contracts, and therefore increase its profits. Lines such as "Weapons; not food, not homes, not shoes, not need, just feed the war cannibal-animal," and "what we don't know keeps the contracts alive and moving / they don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em" are just a couple of examples of the several allusions to the military-industrial complex throughout the song. With the words, "Terror rains, drenching, quenching the thirst of the power dons," the song suggests that the fear of terrorism is used to manipulate the American populace into supporting dubious military action. The phrase "terror rains" also serves as a double entendre, which suggests that "terror reigns" by way of the government terror as a tool. BULLS ON PARADE Come wit it now! Come wit it now! The microphone explodes, shattering the molds Either drop tha hits like de la O or get tha fuck off tha commode Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop Drop an don't copy yo, don't call this a co-op Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons That five sided fist-a-gon Tha rotten sore on tha face of mother earth gets bigger Tha triggers cold empty ya purse Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes Not need, just feed the war cannibal animal I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library Line up to tha mind cemetary now What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive an movin' They don't gotta burn tha books they just remove 'em While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells Rally round tha family, pockets full of shells Rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells Bulls on parade Come wit it now! Come wit it now! Bulls on parade! Bulls on parade! Bulls on parade! Bulls on parade! Bulls on parade!

To steal a line from Rage Against the Machine's song "Killing in the Name of". "Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses" Sadly, that will be forever true. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

Well, Prescott Bush did a great deal to build the Nazi war machine. He made a small fortune on the deaths of millions. The guy was no better than Hitler himself, a monster whom P.B. admired. Seems the Bush family is just in love with war and watching the innocent die while they fill their pockets with loot.

Pretty much what I was going to say. Back in 5th grade, I use to chase a girl name Stephanie around the playground just to kiss her. We were good friends and often played together. Her running and me chasing was just something we did. These days such innocent behavor has become a serious crimminal offense in some peoples minds deserving of prison. Must really suck to be a child these days. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young

All great ideas. Some highly illegal but, great just the same. I live on a country lane that has only a few houses on it. The folks off the side of me no longer have a mailbox and use a PO box due to having so many boxes destroyed by teenagers having a little fun. It was fun batting boxes when I was a teen. Guess, now I know what all the people felt when we batted their boxes It does suck but, no real harm done. Just kids being kids.
