  1. Yes. What was he to do? Pull a lever? Press a Button? How about: order the DOD FBI CIA NSA DIA to do the next step as every five minutes they all pause and wait for him to say "now do . . ." . He did what he needed to do at that school. It's a major part of his job description. He is not a Mid-Level Manager that gives out orders for the day. He's more of a Ideas man. A CEO. The only thing he can micro-manage is the implementation of his ideas and visions. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

  3. This is probably chicken little stuff. . . Since the early 90's Alternative medicine has taken an increase in popularity. Also, a lot of foreign alternative medicine has found its way here. What the Proposal is trying to do is get the FDA to review all the Alternative Medicines and see which area they should fall into: Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic act under CAM(complimentary and Alternative Medicine) or PHS (Public Health Service) act. From there, depending on which Act the product falls into, they will be scrutinized accordingly. Which means, as usual, if a product can harm someone, it's going to be regulated. If not, whether it's fluff or has real healing power, it'll have free reign.
  4. We didn't fly flags at half mast during the first Gulf war either. I'll ask my dad about Vietnam. And to play the bad guy here, there's a difference of dying tragically, unexpectedly, and horribly, as a civillian when it's not your job to in the first place and dying in service for your country because you agreed to. Half mast is when the Country is in Mourning. To me it seems that the only people really in mourning are the family of Soldiers, Marines, Airmen and Sailors. . .everybody else is mostly just pissed off or support the war. Too divided for a call of a Half Mast. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  5. cops fail to stop drunk drivers from killing all the time. They don't get fired. Even the Chief responsible for the particular jurisdiction doesn't get let go. They also "fail" to stop murderers all the time. Fires spreading by convection or conduction don't follow scripts written out by behaviorists. If this is an argument, it is seriously grasping at straws. There was a 1 in 5 chance they would get the right wall. The odds are not too against it happening. Or it's the only wall that is not obstructed enough by nearby buildings and structures and therefore modified due to it's exposure. Anywhere else, the aircraft could never make an approach without hitting something else first. . .probably. You don't understand enough about how our defenses work to even think of questioning this. What use are the fighters? How are they more or less capable than a DDG, CG, ect. . .? What's the difference between shooting an aircraft down and the debris hits the ground(That whole seaboard is one huge megapolis), and it hitting a building? The aircraft is still striking heavy population areas regardless. Describe to me a "Short-Sell" option, what do you need to have to do it and why you would do that to an Airline Company. Mostly, tell me someone who would not put any type of buy or sell option on American. Only an idiot investment company would not bother to trade like that. What I am saying is at least half of private and company investors in the U.S and some Rest of World investors are responsible for that "weird" trade. This also is not evidence for conspiracy. All the points made in that paragraph have one thing in common: A lot of things happened for the first time. I strongly suggest you not read the Guinness Book of World Records. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  6. One thing they can never explain: Why are they still alive? If the govt killed thousands, what's the difference if they off a few more people? Do they notice the void of the lack of black helicopters following them to work? Why hasn't the FBI interviewed them yet? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  7. I didn't figure that out till I was in my late 20's when I moved back to Cali. He doesn't do the "spot" thing anymore.

    Scoliosis

    I have it. About a 4 Degree curvature lumbar area. It doesn't mean anything unless it's a serious curvature. Most are asymptmatic. One of my sailors has much more curvature in his spine and was allowed in the Navy. You need to consult with a M.D. who specialized in this. A chiropractor is not the person to deal with this. This is in the ream of real medicine, not the Aches and Pains alternative stuff. Edited to add. . . If it hasn't been picked up by her pediatrician by now, there more than likely isn't enough curvature to ever worry about it; especially if she passed the bend-over tests. The docs can see my slight curvature when I do that test and I have never had any back problems or such ever. I'm in my mid thirties and run on a daily basis and have put my back in a good amount of stress over time. No problems. Your daughter is in a better off "condition" than I had when I was 18. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  11. Personally, if I was trying to sell a miracle diet or even some snake-oil natural remedy, I would also attack the system(U.S. Medicine) that can easily expose the lack of credibility in the products. After all, the first one to make the counter-claim has the most precedent, right? Explaination of weight loss in these fad diets tend be be from the change of diet and less calories consumed. The explaination of the why the diet works rely on Red Herring arguments when in reality it's a lot more simpler. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

  15. I've read the article. . .it gives a new meaning (if not literal) of "beating a dead horse". _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  16. Can't say "Agenda". They're not proven or provable agendas yet. It is now called "Agenda Theory". Oh. Sorry for the hi-jack. . .highjack. . .er, umm. . .haightjacque? Whatever. how do you get the sausage meat into the skins? some sort of press? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  17. And it's a KILLER!!! Not only has it been closely linked to the causes of Sub-Saharan Drought, but total immersion is likely to cause death! Even partial immersion can cause death or serious injury when it's combined with Carcharodon carcharias. Yet... It's government approved simply because it's a cheap cleaning agent when combined with surfactants. Awful. Mike. You know, I hear that they sell some of that stuff almost pure and they spell "naive" backwards on some of the clear plastic containers. The Fascists!!! _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  18. There's a new threat with this Bihydrogen monoxide. Seems to be everywhere!! these are facts that the Govt does not want you to know! They require it to be packaged with anything that is not solid or in powder form. It's Big Brother controlling us with this new form of forced Dependence.!!!!! _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

  20. Our girlfriends/wives are not under seventeen. Personally, I don't get off on the "naughty high-school girl" theme, but I imagine those that make their wives dress up like that may do it out of nostalgia for lusts felt in their high school years; trying to land that "symbol" of purity/sin. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  21. Yup. I've heard of the Double Eagle coins becoming illegal as tender and had to be turned in. This was more of a failure of the Bretton-Woods act than anything else. Nixon allowed for the Dollar to "float" (be valued by the economy) rather than be a fixed value. The gold standard was actually finnished in the World in the thirties. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  22. Watchu talking about,Willis??!! There was just a recent rash of cheezy gold coin commercials trying to push gold. Personally, if you like commodities, you should go for zinc lead or copper, even grain. Those are much more valuable to China. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  23. There is no "right" to drive. It's a privlege. You have to get licensed to drive in the U. S. unless on private property. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
