  • I do not wish to compare 9/11 to Katrina because both are nightmares but in different ways. However, your general manager is wrong about 9/11. Many families had to start over-schools were contaminated, jobs were lost, housing was contaminated. My…
  • Like everyone else, I'm was glad to hear that Don is safe. I have been very touched by what I have seen on television. I have been heartened by all the people (both civilian and military)who have shown up to help. While I can't understand looting…
  • This is great but...why are you maligning cats?
  • I'm too lazy to do the research - but who was President when Allende was assasinated?
  • While many of the delegates to the constitutional convention left (most notably Alexander Hamilton of NY) (and some returned), the constitutional convention continued to meet (despite dissention and discord) in Philadelphia. Iraq can never have a c…
  • One of my new pet peeves (and the channel doesn't matter) are these commercials that appear in a corner or bottom of the screen for other shows on the same network.
  • I have deep respect for those who are putting their lives on the line every day. However, I could never say the same for those who put those brave young people there.
  • In some ways the Iraq War is similar to Vietnam and in some ways quite different. But the biggest similarity seems to be the gradual increase of distrust (disbelief) in the government resulting in (or from) the increased angst over the death of to…
  • At least Don didn't make an ash of himself.
  • Crout, I did not mean malicious intent. I just thought that the actual quote was a little bit stronger. If you saw it as malicious, I apologize.

  • It was Benjamin Franklin (who was at the constitutional convention). The exact quote is "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." My favorite quote from Mr. F. is "Beer is livin…

  • When the constitutional convention met in Philadelphia the biggest concern was that any one person and/or group (meaning the executive, legislature or courts) would step on the rights of others. There was a concern that the government would over rea…

  • It is well known that under HIPAA regulations, information about anything disabled cannot be released. :~~
  • I did once have a car. First, of all, you can always rent a car for weekend trips and/or funerals. Second, many of the stores deliver for free or you carry it. Third, Wal-mart in NYC - ain't happened yet (though we do we have a Home Depots, Lowes …
  • Thank heavens I don't own a car...However, I live in a co-op apartment and we were just advised that depending on where fuel prices are when winter comes, we will very likely have a rent increase.

  • >Why a mature person would be looking at a 13 >year old with sexual intentions is sick A mature person would not be looking at a 13 year old with sexual intentions. A sick, immature person would.
  • How do you edit nothing twice?

  • Yes and no. I don't completely discount modern medicine. However, I keep in the house the following and use: Ginger tea (for upset stomachs), soy extract (hot flashes), cranberry juice, homemade chicken soup. I'll take other supplements as needed.…
  • I believe the Aryan Nation is mostly located in the west. I would not even disagree about there being KKK chapters all over the country. Being Jewish, I certainly know that Israel agrees with Mr. Blair. Which is why I think they should return to A…
  • Why is all the blame put on the immigrants. Why not blame the home grown hate groups-KKK, Aryan nation etc. What is wrong with a peaceful protest including simply refusing to recite the pledge. I remember having to say it every morning in school …
  • About the woman who wants to run against (there will be a Republican primary for Senate-so it is not guaranteed she'll run against Hillary): 1. The last time this woman ran for DA (which she barely won), her husband was in jail for income tax evasio…

  • Except in NY--where Pataka is not running again for Governor and Hillary is running again for Senator. The rest of the country can wait until the day after the 2006 election when the presidential campaigns will begin.

  • don-please explain why Zell Miller isn't also irrelevant.
  • (my hubby is a news addict covering all the >local stations....when the stories start to >recycle, I tell him enough is enough!). I'm impressed. Here the local news is almost as big a joke as the NY Post. Major headline stories are…

  • About an hour a day-The news on CNN or MSNBC when I get home from work and the Daily Show. The only "non-educational" show I watch regularly is Monk.
