We cannot keep using our resources to create garbage. Do you know are greatest export to China is garbage? China takes our garbage and makes us breakable disposable gadgets, which we then fill our landfills with. So while we keep arguing about bail outs and foreclosures, we are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. We need a fundamental shift on how we view this, our only earth, and how we run our economy.

But no, I am not an M.D.. I do have a J.D. and am a member of the CA Bar, and no, I am not practicing law anymore. I am not sure what taking the LSAT's has to do with anything? But you brought it up when referring to Palin and Clyburn. By the way, everyone finishes the LSAT at the same time, except those that finish early. No one has unlimited time. I don't have to have an MD to know that someone has some severe anger issues. You might want to work on those.

My guess is that Palin could not have sat the through the LSAT's. She has a serious ADHD problem.

Or the fact that USSR could destroy us 1000 times over? If anything Reagan impeded the end of the cold war and the break of the USSR, not the other way around. It was Gorbachev that ended the Cold War, and he did against both Reagan and Thatcher's wishes. I answered the question about Liberals "hate" Palin, and I put the word "hate" in quotations. As for the rest of your reply... when someone starts swearing and insulting etc, I think they haven't got a good persuasive argument. I wonder if you can prove me wrong, and do so without the insults?

I am from Colorado. I always spelled the Canadian "aye", like that, but I can't spell. Hate much? You hate a whole country, a whole religion. Is there anyone you don't hate? My guess is you will have to carry a mirror with you everywhere to find someone that you don't hate.

Not me, but the Conservatives that are my friends.

Does Obama know the grim sleeper? Or is it the fact that he black too that bothers you? No racism here eh?

More Conservative? More Liberal? How was the question asked? My guess is that it is not a very accurate poll. I could take a poll, and likely get 100% saying that it was the liberal fault, or the conservatives fault.

They actually give me a polite well-thought out argument, rather than name calling. But then again, I live in the penumbra of a University, and they are usually highly educated...

So Conservatives don't have domestic violence with guns? They don't have kids that accidentally shoot their guns? Where did you get that idea?

The question is when is it a national issue. Not how well the two parties deal with the situation. If you want to debate who is rolling in the mud, that's a different topic.

Have you read the Federalist Papers? Those men were intellectual giants, Palin not so much. However if you think the American mind is summed up by the saying "shoot now, ask questions later." than you are right Palin has one.

Obama is astute about who his challengers are, and i don't think he considers Palin a viable challenge to him. If she does become a viable candidate then he will think about her. People call Obama thin-skinned, but I think he's very disciplined in his emotional response to his detractors.

Killin' and workin' j/k before I get attacked. But there really wasn't one show that she didn't kill some animal was there?

The tee-shirts and the tone of the memorial was a bit tacky (IMO), but I don't think that Obama organized either. I do understand wanting something like it. I friend's niece was shot by the nieces' father, and the friend had tee-shirts and bracelets made with live, love and peace on them. I think the hope of the tee shirts was to make the deaths of the victims to be about something. I do think as a nation we need to start pulling ourselves together.
