In Latin countries where the presence of some hair on the female body and/or a slight scent of sweat is considered naturally feminine and sexy, there is much less occurrance of breast cancer. In general, Europeans have healthier lifestyles and greater longevity than their antiseptic American counterparts who think they have all the answers.

And thank you to Larry, Leslie, PrchrLady, Shirin, and everyone who pitched in and who sent me kind words … I’d “id” you all by your handles but I couldn’t tell from some of the names at PayPal who was who. It’s been an enormous help and will continue to be. From large to small items. Got a couple items my insurance won’t pay for, including a shower chair that my daughter’s set up so I can use it when I get home. And my daughter is going to pick up a couple pieces of clothing that the Phys. Med. people recommend for the rehab phase.

Hugs to all. Be well, all of you. Keep up the essential fight!

In the case of German bomb plot, we have a Uzbek
Islamic militant group who may have been organized by
the Uzbek government to suppress Muslims. We have less-than-adequate training in Pakistan for a
less-than-adequate ‘Al Qaeda Prime’ e.g. the poor
choice to use TATP for a car bomb and, finally, we
have the Germans sneaking in and diluting Al Qaeda’s
peroxide vats to end the threat (I think it was Jack Bauer).

This was odd but not as odd as the “accidental”
transport of 6 nukes via B52 across the US from North
Dakota to Arkansas. It was considered “accidental”, I
presume, because of the numerous violations of safety
protocols for the transport of said nukes and no
offering by the White House as to who actually ordered this to be done or why (correct me if I am wrong).

Now we have a busted Israeli Neo-Nazi group – the
epitomy of a home-grown terrorist group in terms of
operational capacity and historical motivation.

Perhaps I should go back to the study of UFOs for want of explaination.

“…JERUSALEM – In a case that would seem unthinkable in the Jewish state, police said Sunday they have cracked a cell of young Israeli neo-Nazis accused in a string of attacks on foreign workers, religious Jews, drugaddicts and gays…”

I understand you point to Fred, but where do you draw the line in a democracy between for profit sales of anything let the buyer beware as versus the government regulating everything?

Why shouldn’t there be a corporate consciousness that while making a profit does it responsibly?

I am a small contractor who builds and fixes things for people. I could easily rip them off by substituting inferior materials, but I don’t.

Why?

Because I have a moral conscience and a moral center that is based on what is right and wrong.

The problem with our country is that while there may be lots of small contractors and small businessmen like my self, large corporations are run by people who either have no moral center or have convinced themselves that they are only doing their job and they are not responsible for the results of the corporation’s actions. There is no “buck’ stops here. There is no one who takes responsibility for the actions of a corporation, it is souless and has no conscience. Look at Ken Lay of Enron he should have fallen on his sword but instead he passed the buck to his lawyers to get him off.

As to government it might have had a regulatory role that keep unscrupulous corporations and individuals in line in the past, but now due to massive deregulation governments role is severely diminished and has largely become ineffective. The government employees who probably have moral centers and who try to do their job to protect the people of this country are over ruled by immoral political leaders who are wined and dined by corporate lobbyists to do whatever is necessary to make sure their make sure their corporate masters make more money.

Congress which should be the balancing act between these competing interests has long ago abrogated its responsibility and fell under the spell of corporate lobbyists so as long as all this exists nothing is going to change.

JERUSALEM – In a case that would seem unthinkable in
the Jewish state, police said Sunday they have cracked a cell of young Israeli neo-Nazis accused in a string of attacks on foreign workers, religious Jews, drug addicts and gays.

Eight immigrants from the former Soviet Union have
been arrested in recent…

Sounds like a plan.

God knows that’d work better than having an independent government agency vetted to conduct those tests in a professional laboratory. That’d be so stupid, wouldn’t it.

btw***does it seem that our troops are more and more like illegal aliens willing to do jobs no one else wants to do and for far less wages. Difference is our troops are probably praying to be deported back to their own country.

Isn’t that why there are 160,000+ US troops in the place? To, “Get the government off the backs,” of the Iraqi people?

“The president had no interest in the intelligence,” a CIA officer disclosed. “Bush didn’t give a f**k about the intelligence. He had his mind made up.”

And no, except for those directly affected, it is NOT better than nothing. Deception, even when transparent, is never better than nothing.

You have to wonder just exactly how stupid they think we are.
