Would you be so kind as to post the bit of legislation that shows Congress directed Shrub to use military force in Iraq in 2003? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

While I agree with most of what you say, I would like to raise a few points. A minimum wage job without health benefits (or that offers health benefits at a price that is cost prohibitive to anyone making minimum wage) is not going to do much for healthcare access. Second, healthy food is, as a rule, more expensive than less healthy food. I do not use tobacco, and am, if anything, underweight (due in part to my fear of obesity, which runs in my family). I also try to exercise, with moderate success, so as to maintain a semblance of good shape. Still, I have no access to healthcare, like millions of others. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

Let me put it another way. I am willing to work a job that will work around my school schedule, allow me time to sleep and study, does not require long commute times, and pays well enough to make it worth my while to give up my time, which is much more valuable to me while I am trying to get through school. Many people have such jobs. Many others do not, but would take such jobs if the oppurtunity presented itself. Or perhaps I don't live near your building? Again, i am not unwilling to work. I am unwilling to consider my job more important than my education. I can't figure out how you get unwilling to work out of that. How about being a night janitor? How about working for a freight company? There are plenty of jobs...You CHOOSE not to work them. *** I have worked tose jobs before, and I know what they are about. They are not very compatible with my current schedule, which is dictated by requirements to take classes that only have a single section available. I have, in past semesters, had a school schedule that allowed me to be more flexible with my work schedule, and thus was able to work close to full-time, but that is not currently an option. If an oppurtunity appears to change that, great, but if not, my priorities are set properly, IMO. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Look again; I qualified the statement with schedule concerns. If not for school, it would be little problem to find work, at least something to tide me over until I could find something I more enjoy. Also, if not for school, I would happily relocate. Unfortunately, in our current economic climate, I have to choose between a decent paying job now or and education now to help qualify me for a good paying job later. While I would like to have both (and have seen economic conditions in my adult lifete that would allow this), currently that is not likely, so I will make school a priority. I have been consistent with that idea. I am willing to work, but unwilling to prioritize my job over my education. That is not an unwillingness to work. I, too, know many people that work and go to school, and with the exception of the ones with dependant families, they would all quit their jobs in a heartbeat if it threatened their performance in school. It is not an unwillingness to work, but rather an unwillingness to waste their time and tuition money in school. As for Deland's SD manufacturers, I have sought work with them, unsuccessfully, some of them multiple times. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

You're right, Ron. Now, show me where I showed support for charging medical students for their education. Please. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Where did you get the idea I am not willing to work. I am not willing to make work a higher priority than school. Major difference. My jumping has been postponed indefinitely until it is an affordable hobby for me, and much of my gear is for sale or has been sold in order to pay tuition and living expenses. Clearly, I don't place jumping over work. You obviously do not live in Volusia County. I've not changed my story a bit. I am simply maintaining that my school schedule is not flexible, and I am not going to sacrifice my performance in school, detrimental to my future, in order to ease my present.

My suggestion is that both systems have inherent strengths and weaknesses, and neither system works well for all applications. A combination, however, I believe could be effective. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I admire Ford's work in using renewable natural resources to build cars (hemp, flax, spruce) but find his anti-semitism appalling. I also find it near treasonable that he put so much effort into financing the Third Reich. I even heard a rumor (but have yet to verify it) that Ford even successfully sued this country for bombing one of his tank manufacturing facilities in Nazi Germany. And the installment payment plan for his cars contributed to the Depression. You're right, Ford is an excellent example of what Capitalism can be. BTW Ayn Rand wrote from the perspective of Soviet Communism, which shares little except for the name with Marxism. You seem to be confusing the management with the primary investors. The thing you seem to be missing is that socialism promotes cooperation, while capitalism promotes competition. Cooperation is a superior long term strategy. This has been demonstrated on more than one occasion with mathematics and computer modeling. Check out K. C. Cole's The universe and the Teacup for specific examples. Math tutoring available.

I was in the DMV in the past week. In and out, five minutes. And that was near the end of the month.

When he keeps offering contradictory statements, its hard to come up with a different reason. For example, during his 2000 campaign he said he would not participate in nation building.

I would suggest seeing the film before you try to claim that the plain as day sentences given by Whitehouse representatives were taken so far out of context as to change their meaning. If you see them, you will know that, while Moore's message may be exaggerated, many of his points are not. Watch the film. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

You seem to be missing the point that my number one priority is finishing school. If I have to live in a cardboard box and only get eat ramen every other day, that is still a better option than making school a second priority to work. They are not excuses, but priorities. Right now it may suck, but in a few years, I will be far better off for making that difficult sacrifice now. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

If we can go from Rumsfeld's ghost of Christmas present to healthcare, drug legalization isn't much of a stretch. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

If you think that Cuba's biggest problem isn't the economic sanctions the U.S. has forced, you must be smoking something, which would, incidentally, be perfectly legal in a free country! Edit to add: I mispoke. Americans have an at birth life expectancy of about a year longer than Cubans.

I am not suggesting anything, only pointing out a turning point at which our economy took a turn towards capitalism on a large scale. You are projecting my general comments of investors directly to the individual Henry Ford. Investors are not all the same. Some even profit by treating their employees extremely fairly in a market where such fairness is relatively rare. There are no absolutes. Have you been to the emergency room lately, with non-life threatening injuries? Much faster to go to the DMV. You are right about the conflict of interest in the pharmeceutical industry, though.

I don't want it to sound like I am unappreciative of doctors or teachers. I just don't understand why we charge people to learn these professions. There is no reason why it should cost a fortune to go to medical school when we need more doctors. The same thing goes for teachers. And we should reward those that choose to teach or doctor us with enough money to live comfortably (not to be confused with extravagantly). Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

Yes, I do believe we should have a national healthcare system. It can work efficiently, much more so than our current system. Compare our healthcare to Cuba's, where everybody is covered, and expenses are higher due to economic sanctions. But, their infant motality rate is significantly lower, and they live longer. Just think, if not for the embargo, we could have a vaccine for menengitis. I guess the liberal media must have missed that story. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!
