Re: 18-Mar-11 News -- UN declares war after Gaddafi threaten

Autocrats fleeing hastily assembled pseudo-democratic governments assembled on the heels of "heroic" (young, full of piss-and-vinegar) uprisings, inevitably followed by deadly military response and chaos, yes, Spanish Civil War redux does spring to mind, interesting that Gadaffi should mention Franc...

Re: 16-Mar-11 News -- Yemen fighting escalates

Irresponsible blather seems to be the coin of the realm in media these days, media that theoretically has the completely opposite responsibility of filtering such nonsense and providing valuable information.

Re: 4-Mar-11 News -- Food prices surge again in February

The price of petroleum and the price of food are more closely linked than most realize. Almost every phase of our (United States of America) agricultural technology (which is being used by most of the world now) depends directly on oil.

Re: 22-Jan-11 News-Congress discusses allowing state bankrup

With all due respect at99sy, you need to take a closer look at this issue. Are entitlements a big part of the problem? Yes.

The facts clearly show that the Arizona Safeway Shooter was known by friends as a "Left-wing/Liberal", was a drug user, had Occult Shrines, and was severely mentally disturbed.
