I don't watch television anymore, except for the occasional movie. I get my news from NPR and news.google, which is set as my homepage, so I see a lotof variety. The thing that pisses me off about the media is how they report on Israeli/Palestine to make it sound one sided, like Palestinians are the bad guys, when they are the ones taking all the casualties and losing all their homes. I don't know how anyone could consider that a liberal slant. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I watched that several times. It was too funny. Sadly, Stewert was absolutely right. Except the part about the guy looking smart because of his bow tie. That was an ugly tie, even if they are hard to tie. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

First, it is not my paper. Second, I don't have an electronic copy of the extensive bibliography, or I would have posted it. But let's just say these are not isolated sources. Some of the things I read, which was only a small part of the research, included declassified documents from the Manhatten Project. I should also add, that the intended audience of the paper was a college freshman english class, so it stands to reason that it will read as such. The format was my fault. Ididn't realize you were going to grade the paper. Especially considering how well you document your posts. I agree that there is a lot of junk info online, but there is also a lot of good information that we would not otherwise have access to. Google University is a wonderful thing.

I respectfully disagree. As a celebrity, of sorts, Chase was in a position to utilize an oppurtunity to make a political statement in a public forum. As responsible citizens we have an obligation to debate, and when we feel justified, dissent. From the majority decision of U.S. Supreme Court, Cohen v California 403 U.S. 15 (1971), delivered by Justice Harlan: "Surely the State has no right to cleanse public debate to the point where it is grammatically palatable to the most squeamish among us. Yet no readily ascertainable general principle exists for stopping short of that result were we to affirm the judgment below. For, while the particular four-letter word being litigated here is perhaps more distasteful than most others of its genre, it is nevertheless often true that one man's vulgarity is another's lyric. Indeed, we think it is largely because governmental officials cannot make principled distinctions in this area that the Constitution leaves matters of taste and style so largely to the individual. Additionally, we cannot overlook the fact, because it [403 U.S. 15, 26] is well illustrated by the episode involved here, that much linguistic expression serves a dual communicative function: it conveys not only ideas capable of relatively precise, detached explication, but otherwise inexpressible emotions as well. In fact, words are often chosen as much for their emotive as their cognitive force. We cannot sanction the view that the Constitution, while solicitous of the cognitive content of individual speech, has little or no regard for that emotive function which, practically speaking, may often be the more important element of the overall message sought to be communicated. Indeed, as Mr. Justice Frankfurter has said, "[o]ne of the prerogatives of American citizenship is the right to criticize public men and measures - and that means not only informed and responsible criticism but the freedom to speak foolishly and without moderation." Baumgartner v. United States, 322 U.S. 665, 673 -674 (1944). " We have gotten it into our heads that we have a right not to be offended. We don't have that right. What we do have is a right to free speech. Rights are not something granted to us by the Constitution. Rights are something granted to us by "God." The Bill of Rights lays out certain priveleges that the people are not allowed to grant the government. Such as the privelege to control public speech. Or the privelege of setting a state sanctioned religion. The government cannot suspend your rights, they didn't grant them to you. We have already strictly forbidden the government from regulating certain things, and specifically directed them to regulate others. There have always been comedians that work political issues into their routines, to varying degrees, such as George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks (RIP) Dennis Miller, Chris Rock, to name a few. Maybe if we were more politically active, such responsibilities would not fall upon the shoulders of our entertainers. http://www.leoslyrics.com/listlyrics.php?hid=s9gfO7p7R6g%3D http://www.konformist.com/2001/hicks.htm Math tutoring available.

The "liberal bias" would have nothing to do with the fact that Shrub has screwed up everything he has touched in the last four years, would it? There is no liberal media. If there were, do you really think Clinton would have had to endure Ken Star's witchhunt over oral sex? I suppose you believe Rush is unbiased and honest, right? Math tutoring available.

Have they? I haven't seen that. The only person I know who is well studied and current on the topic wrote the paper. Granted he only checked 20 - 30 sources, so he might not know what he's talking about.

The seventy percent figure comes from VA. As far as the sexually transmitted aspect of your question, Uranium in the body tends to concentrate in semen, it moves from one body to another through ejaculation during intercourse. You are right about Plutonium being dangerous. One pound of Plutonium, spread across the globe equally, would be enough to give every man woman and child, on the planet, lung cancer. Its lethal dose is less than one tenth that of Uranium. That does not however, mitigate the dangers associated with Uranium. BTW, there are more toxic elements than Plutonium as well.

Imagine a leaf falling from a tree. We can know "everything" about that leaf, temperture, mass, volume, surface area, height, etc, as well as windspeeds, air density, air viscocity, etc. What we can't do is accurately predict exactly where that leaf is going to land. The discovery of the major implications of the seemingly trivial "missing information" was discovered by Edward Lorenz, one of the founders of Chaos Theory. Math tutoring available.

You are comparing apples to oranges. You have to injest over 2 million times as much arsenic as aerosoled Uranium 238 in order for the dose to be lethal. DU rounds are not "self-sharpening." Uranium 238 is pyrophoric, that is it burns in contact with air. This process begins in flight. As the DU burns, it produces an aerosol of Uranium 238 particles. These particles can be carried by air currents for miles. There are WMD in Iraq after all. We brought them with us. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

The thing is, and there is really no getting aroung this, if a missile defense system is implemented, it has to work 100% of the time. A 99.9% success rate translates to sudden death for a lot of people if a 1000 missile volley comes our way. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

The reason I mentioned the long half life is because once its in the water, that water is contaminated, forever. One millionth of a gram is not very damn much, and that is all it takes to be fatal, if inhaled or swallowed, or otherwise enters the body. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

One one millionth of a gram of Uranium 238, if injested in aerosol form, which the DU takes as it burns in the air, is fatal. I magine a single dose of LSD, without carrier paper, being enough to kill 250 people. It can be filtered out of the air with only the very best filters. Once it comes in contact with water, it is soluble, so the water is contaminated, and un filterable. My roommate is writing a research paper on DU right now; its due tomorrow, so I'll snag the bibliography if anyone wants to check the facts for themselves. I just read some of the above from a declassified document from the Manhatten Project. I consider that a credible source. And, for the record, Clinton condoned its use as well, not just Bush and Shrub. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Qualities of any good guerilla soldiers, to be sure. That the Defense department did not anticipate this is criminal negligence, IMO. These guys have lifetime of combat experience to draw on. Did they really think that a lack of twenty-first century military technology would render them incompetent? NEWSFLASH: Lack of supplies can be used as a strategic strength. We learned that in Viet Nam. We modeled our Lightfighter Divisions (25th ID, 10th Mountain, and at least a third that I can't remember right now) after the North Viet Nam Army. Lack of equipment means you are incredibly mobile and versatile. High-Tech and armed to the gills is great, unless you come to rely on it. Guerilla soldiers let their enemies supply them.

First, Arsenic is not radioactive, nor is it a metal. Uranium 238 is. It has a half life of 4.5 billion years. Maybe that is why you hear more about depleted Uranium than you do about arsenic. Seventy percent of the US soldiers who fought in Desert Storm have permanent medical disabilities, and the number is increasing. Thanks to depleted uranium, the Gulf Wars have contributed to more dead and permanently disabled US soldiers than did WWII. Depleted uranium poisoning can be passed on to sexual partner, via contaminated semen, and contributes to a significant increase in birth defects for the children conceived after a parent was contaminated. The residual uranium 238 left from US military use has given off 400,000 times the radiation given off from the atomic bomb the US dropped on Nagasaki. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

I know that even in peace time soldiers look forward to their ETS (end time in service) date like six year old anticipates Christmas morning during December. Soldiers are suing over stop loss. That is not a sign of high morale. Nor is it a good sign when units refuse support missions because they are not adequately supplied. That is to say nothing of the high rates of malignant growth for some returning units due to the depleted uranium ammunition that has (still?) been used in Iraq. Cancer is not the best incentive to motivate troops, or local populations. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
