    Canada to Levy 15 Pct Duty on Some U.S. Goods

    Hmmm. an outright trade war. And we buy more of Canada's goods than they do of ours. And our economy sux right now but it dwarfs theirs. We are their biggest trading partner. Hmmm.... doesn't sound like a good move on their part, but what do I know. Dry up their projected revenue windfall from...

    Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ...how strong is it now?

    At every venue level from my primary attending physician nad his staff, to every specialist referal, to the emergency room, through surgery and recovery. I first told them I was D/Hoh. I could not hear them. The only attempts at accomodation were to yell at me, or wave their hands like a...

    Michelle Malkin Has Eggs on her Face!

    She is a syndicated columnist. Here is what she posted. With the embedded link to the google holiday archive. Sure enough, looking at 2004,'03, I did not see anything for Easter, one of the most important Christian holidays. She did not comment on it that I saw. At least not on the link you...

    Breaking news about Terri Schiavo

    "For richer and poorer, in sickness and in health, til death do us part, so help me God." This was my vow. To my bride. To my family and hers. To God. All witnesses to the covenent I made. I would do all I could for my wife until she died, and not by my hand. I know people with severely brain...

    FL. Loses Appeal in Terri Schiavo Case

    Now the hand washing can begin. Michael Schiavo, his hired gun "doctors", the nurses who went along, the lawyers, the judges, the politicians, the pro deathers all can start washing their hands just like Ponteus Pilat. Guess what? It won't wash off. :roll:

    Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ...how strong is it now?

    Check my thread in the ADA forum. I am yet to hear back from the enforcement people even for an interview. These past two months I have been in many medical facilities. ENT doctors. Audiologists. Radiology. Neurologist. Neurosurgeon. Cardiologist. Ambulance and Emergency room, Cardiac...

    FL. Loses Appeal in Terri Schiavo Case

    A person generously doused in morophine generally is peacful looking. Even after your leg has been blown off by a landmine. By "fighting", they meant she is clinging to her life. She is not trying to die. But I guess by now the "right-to-death" zealots are getting what they want. Maybe we have...

    Jackson declares innocence in interview

    I don't know for a fact whether he is guilty or innocent. I do know that he is charged with some serious things and he knowingly put himself in the position to be charged with those things. Giving porn to a minor is unlawful. Giving alcohol to a minor is unlawful. Sleeping in the same bed with...

    Guns? For Teachers?

    Some Australians bought and owned U.S. firearms (and Brazilian, German, Italian, French, Israeli, British etc. ), and some British too, and people in Washington D.C. But in every place they have been banned violent crime has increased. I have owned guns for well over 40 years, and none of them...

    Amber Alert issued for yet another missing Florida girl!

    Amber alerts are a good development. I find it ironic that this one from Florida is posted just now. My daughter has spent the holiday with her mother from Florida. My wife and I sweat every time until she brings her back. I just got off the phone with my wife and she is upset and worried...

    Good Friday Quiz = Do you belive in jesus?

    I believe in Jesus the Christ In my life I have looked seriously at most religions. Those that recognize God as the creator, and those who don't. I've looked at beliefs that involved praying to statues, goats, monkeys, cattle, and nothing at all. I've looked at mysticism, spirits, astrology...

    Guns? For Teachers?

    Well, set it off in the middle of a Wal-mart parking lot and watch it being ignored. People have gotten so used to them going off by accident, they don't pay any attention. In every country where citizens have been denied the right to own and bear arms, crime has increased. That is a fact.

    Get Over It, Wolves Do NOT Attack People

    No, I don't think she is saying any such thing. She is just saying that we err when we exagerate, on purpose (hyperbole) or by mistake, because there are exceptions to most things, like the example of wolf/human interaction. You are free to say pretty much anything you want, at least until it...

    Get Over It, Wolves Do NOT Attack People

    Wild amimals do not make good pets. Most states have laws against owning them and a few allow it with special state licenses. Wild animals should stay wild. I have friends in far north Canada and Alaska who live with them year round. They live in mutual respect, but the people know that the...

    Get Over It, Wolves Do NOT Attack People

    Gangsters? Well, in a way. A pack mentality. Feral domestic dogs will do the same thing, and so will wolves. We have a big problem here with the coyotes killing our fawns in the spring. Hunters take a few. Trappers don't mess with them because they aren't worth much on the fur market. They are...

    Get Over It, Wolves Do NOT Attack People

    Give up? Why? you had a valad point that it is a very uncommon thing to happen. I bet that with a bit of research I could show that many more people are attacked, much more property damage is caused by whitetail deer every year. The problems of balancing the needs of humans and wild animals...

    Get Over It, Wolves Do NOT Attack People

    Myth No. 2 Wolves do not attack people Surprisingly some leading publications are still making this claim that there is no documented proof that a wolf attacked a person in North America. The WDNR was making this claim at the 1986 Wolf Plan Meetings in spite of the fact that the 1982 Aug and...
