  • My favorite bit of information is the instructions for these displaced citizens to go to the FEMA web site to register for aid. So after clicking through 7 pages of informational material you get to the application which requires an address!
  • Where are the drug companies and why haven't they made arrangements to ship the most commonly needed prescription drugs to the shelters? What's the hold up on getting the 225,000 refugees out of Texas. Do we really think a state can single handedl…
  • You're correct, there are and have been a million permutations of programs aimed at breaking the cycle of poverty. Most have ended up simply reinforcing it for a great many people. So we've been unsuccessful so far. I still believe that someday,…
  • While I agree it is important to identify the causes (primary, secondary etc) of this human tragedy, laying each ugly fact at the door of the responsible party will mire us in useless recriminations and paralyze any effort to find solutions. We wil…
  • Kathy, Is it high school or college graduation? That would make a difference on what I'd recommend. It is construction season, so getting in and out of the city is problematic. I'd recommend staying inside the 494/694 (or as my husband calls it …
  • Hadn't you heard Ritaanz? It's actually an equal opportunity initiative so we can all claim we are victims of something.....

  • Are you saying that if I disagree with a policy of the current administration I must be a representative of the left? x:-/ It is possible that I have no polictical axe to grind at all.....
  • That's one of the many wonders of America, that I get to be a Monday morning quarterback whenever I want to. And one of the other wonders of America is that "those in charge" have to have the confidence of the majority of the voters to stay "in cha…
  • No one is disputing the need to keep people who would harm us out of the population. But, these people should have some status, are they POWs of the "war on terror"? Are they prisoners of a police action? I've never heard or seen a description of …
  • I'm afraid we're deluding ourselves into a false sense of safety. If the reaction to a terrorist attack brings out a willingness to dispense with our civil liberties what will America look like after the next terrorist attack? Which civil liberty …
  • You know England probably has the most experienced anti-terrorism forces in the western world. Spain, France and Germany all have direct experience with terrorist attacks within the last twenty years and have strengthened their anti-terrorism measu…
  • On the way to work this morning they were playing Ella Fitzgerald, "Beginners Luck". That lady had class. But Aretha was fun to watch when she was young, even though she'd make 3 or 4 of Audrey Hepburn now....

  • Some weird impulse prompted me to watch "My Fair Lady" the other night. I'm stuck with "I could have danced all night"

  • Its "Holiday", by Green Day, on the American Idiot CD

  • Thats too bad, Don. You should get it when it comes out on DVD. I sometimes think you are channeling Dennis Leary, but you're much more well spoken...

  • Its on cable, the FX channel, Tuesdays at 9:00 in the midwest. Just a word of caution, this show is for mature audiences only, don't watch it if you are easily shocked or offended x:o

  • I'm sure...the only Larry I remember meeting isn't from MN. I am going to the Las Vegas HR Hero seminar in November....I'm hoping to meet at least some of the characters from this weird world there....

  • It really struck me that all the people in the room except the female fire fighter and the sensitivity trainer were absolutely comfortable trading what we call ethnic slurs. Does that mean we can only trade insults when we feel equal to the others.…

  • Sorry Don, singing is something I only do in the privacy of my own car....

  • I just looked at the pic, I thought the young women looked very nice, no one's belly button ring was showing, the skirts were an appropriate length. I say its about time women shoes were both comfortable and stylish. Beats the crap out of the the …
  • I'd hope that your wife doesn't need to ask permission from you to do the things she would like to do outside of the home.....would that mean that no ones in charge???x:o
  • I agree that our society by and large dictates the norms for our roles. However, I have always been annoyed by our willingness to accept those dictates, why would you read a book that tells you how to be a good wife? There aren't many men who beli…
  • I've long held the theory that civilizations are cyclical. And if the cycle is interrupted in some fashion, the society will be unable to reach its potential. When an advanced society intrudes upon a less advanced one whether by colonization, war,…
  • You are correct Don, if the woman that did decide to seek the vote had not made that choice some other woman most likely would have. If I had not joined the Army there were other and are other women who would've. My point is that things change b/c…
  • People, people haven't we evolved farther than this. Geez, I had these arguments in high school... I do not credit others for my acheivements, however, somewhere along the line a woman said "dammit, I should be able to vote and I'm going to work t…
  • I'm taking a cue from Livindon...I never said what the youthful indiscretion was. Sorry Larry, I don't think I know you. I didn't go to SHRM last year and I always pay up on a lost wager.... BTW, what was the bet?
  • I had to look it up but I believe I am correct in my useage.... circumstance: a condition or fact attending an event and having some bearing on it. Of course others may be more prone to sharing a more complete account....otherwise we'll never be …
  • As a salute to the diverse experiences drawn on here on the forum and as a test of the objectivity of the posting guidelines we could all share the circumstances of our various youthful indiscretions. I'll start, 17, at the lake, deep summer, lots …
  • 1. 2nd 2. 1st 3. 4100 4. Nunu Bonus ask for them
  • Thanks for the kind words Don. Perhaps I'll learn to spell more consistently before I write that book. I would, however, opt for a more considered approach to the meting out of justice. I am not a fan of mobs or vigilantes. My objective is to ri…
