Raising taxes on cigs, reduces the number of people who smoke. GRREAT. BUT..... It also reduces revenue. Some will quit, some will buy online, or from reservations, some will turn to pipe-tobacco, or loose tobacco. ENOUGH with the TAXING SALEM...SPEND OUR MONEY WISER!

Since then they cut 1/3 of the suits and 1/2 the labor! result 30,000 suits and 60,000 labor, not any better. holy pinstripes batman, nobody is making the cars! a business cannot compete in any market with that much fluff. not to mention the cost of health insurance has a higher price tag than the steel (per vehicle built)... but that is another forum!

More people have lost their lives throughout history because of A 'GOD'. More accurately the Catholic (loosely Protostant) GOD. Ever heard the word INQUISITION??? My Higher Power may be a "Light Switch" on the wall, but it doesnt make your god BETTER. It does not give me [or you] the right or the protection from said power to take someones life. (PERIOD). FYI - as a White male with olive skin and long hair.... Traveling 5 of the continents, and over 30 countries, eager to experience native culture, I have never been treated so poorly or PRE-judged so wrongly as I have been by Anglo-saxon churches!!!

Whats the bitterness 'bout? My X, is ending her journey with cervical cancer. One missed pap. Next year, a neg. Next year 'Stage 4' First round Chemo, Radiation, and Implant. Then Total Hysterectomy. Two weeks later, Lymph Positive. Second go at it treatment more lethal than disease. Hope is not lost, though final arrangements are bieng made. Her two daughters and one son, will cherish the memories. This story is about AWARENESS. PAPS and HPV vaccination.

I joined my bags in Cape Town. My luggage was missing the cheap 50 cent padlocks. Inside my luggage was a form note claiming my luggage was inspected because myself and the luggage were on differant flights. Thousands of dollars of photo-gear and misc items were untouched...This wasnt the only time... never a problem....UNTIL THE TSA I got wiser and kept ALL Cash/TChecks, real jewelry on me.... Nothing big in luggage; but it was the faux-jewelry that kept turning up miassing. It was the DOMESTIC flights: Denver, NYC. Dallas, not the International: Dubai, Singapore, London e.g. Go Fig?

There is no inheritance with the lotto, Is there? So 64 + 25 = 89 years old, if he dies before that, the rest is gone. Isnt this the reason for the single payment... to get the 2 bucks a weak from the social security crowd??? just IMO, but I think he shouda took it all, even if less total dollars, especially with the economy.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door DAMM them Italians and Irish for building America, DAmm them Chinese for creating rail from coast to coast damm the Vienamese for showing family and anti-corporate unity and the mexicans to willing to give up luxury to sustain a family. As a Native-American, I might ask you to return to Britain or France. Instead, I ask for a little less <>PREJUDICE<> IMO Sun, 22 Feb 2009 02:43:32 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/40030732.html#IDComment15618651 http://www.katu.com/news/39992352.html#IDComment15618214 ANY activity can be regarded as a 'distraction'. Dropping the crack pipe, squezzing that last beer between the legs, Changing the radio station, chatting with your passenger or even those that have an IQ smaller than their shoe size... as they look at a pretty blue sky... The question is PUBLIC RISK versus PRIVATE FREEDOM. I do not agree on a blanket law. 1. Educate (we spend tons on public awareness, include this) 2. Enforce selective restriction (accident w phone equals loss of privelage) IMO Sun, 22 Feb 2009 02:26:05 +0000 http://www.katu.com/news/39992352.html#IDComment15618214 http://www.katu.com/news/local/40034077.html#IDComment15617546 Liberal Medic says NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW that Im packing. Absolutely disagree to a 'list' made public! AT FIRST I thought, If a neighbor submitted a request, it would be OK to reveal to them if I had a permit.....BUT 'MIKEW' below has valid arguements. no, No, NO! PRIVATE INFO. In retrospect, isnt that kinda the idea behind "CONCEALED" aka unknown, hidden?

IF accurate that is daily spanks for 3 yrs. Even if a victim, Even with years of psych help, what will the result next time he feels like a victim.

The state is trying to squeeze the last dollars it can from the middle class. 2nd - I disagree to the notion that anytime a fee or a tax is proposed, it is blamed on a tax and spend liberal (TSL). - A True TSL would income tax the elite (those that need to how to invest extra moneys) and the ubar successful corporate profits. A LIBERAL would then PROVIDE these services to children. 3rd- Remember the last 20yrs has been conservative controlled D.C. and (with the only exception bieng 8 yrs of liberalism). With that said the liberal years are the only ones that have had a significant and sustained growth in our economy.
