- Amy Alkon on MND / Sometimes, There's Nothing So Expensive As "Free" - Redrajesh - Nobody has a problem with innovative and one in a million people surgery being expensive. But in America, normal things like flu or small illnesses cost a bomb to treat. Added to it is the fact that a drug cannot be obtained without a prescription makes it mandatory to visit a doctor and pay a huge fees to get the treatment(an average general practitioner doctors fees is about 150 dollars here in NJ and when I go through the insurance co, I pay my co pay of 15 dollars and the insurance co pays him about 65 thereby bringing the total to $80). If instead of $150 or even $80, it were something like $25 or $30, things would be a lot better. If the doctors could remove some overheads like 3 girls in their office each being paid $3000 a month to fill the insurance claims and receptionist etc, they can make a pretty decent living even at a charge of $30 per visit. And since 9 of the top 10 paying jobs in America is in the medical field and general practitioners come in that 9, I find it difficult to muster any sympathy for them. And if it were not mandatory to get a prescription to get a drug, quite a lot of people would save a bomb just by self medication for some simple ailments.
- Dr. Helen Smith / "America isn't hiring precisely because of government policy." - DcFather - Ditto for home sales, car sales, consumer confidence, and a lot more. Problem is, Obama et al are not as clueless as they act. They are trying as hard as they can to destroy America as fast as they can, and doing a pretty good job at it. It's the people who believe in him/them that are truly ignorant.
- Dr. Helen Smith / But "she managed to disarm him and cut him"..... - Greg - Too bad she didn't hit the throat instead of the hands...
- Sex+Metropolis / Americans are Beginning to Notice Political Swing to Left - Greg - Government gets bigger the more it feeds on itself. The trick has been to hide from the general public just how little power we actually have over them. Given the unelected bureaucracy, the desire by those elected to retain their power and prestige, and the need in any organization to reach consensus - bear in mind the adage, the squeaky wheel gets the grease - there is a slide in one direction or another. We're just starting to realize WHICH direction we've been pulled in.

Slavery is one aspect of the American experience, but so is the fact that we have prayed together, fought together, worked together and loved together.

- Amy Alkon on MND / Equal Protection, Except If You're Black Or Latino, And Then You Get More - Denis - The real prize for getting "More" as you well know goes to females. Females are ~ 51% of the population. That means the majority of Americans get "More". Black Females get "More" than Black Males. Hispanic Females get "More" than Hispanic Males. White Females get "More" than White Males. Black Females and Hispanic Females and White Females get "More" than White Males. White Males are at the bottom of the food chain.

Pakistan Wants to Shed AQ Khan Proliferation Stigma
| Abdul Qadeer Khan (File photo) |
A senior Pakistani military official says Pakistan wants to put what he calls the “sordid chapter” of proliferation by one of its top scientists behind it and build civilian nuclear ties with the United States.
But he says Pakistan is not ready to make the nuclear scientist, Abdul Qadeer Khan, available for direct questioning over his sale of nuclear parts and secrets to states including Iran, Libya and North Korea. He said there are reasons of national sensitivities for not making him available.
The Pakistani official was giving a background briefing to a small group of reporters in Washington.
Khan admitted in 2004 that he operated a worldwide clandestine network to sell nuclear technology in the black market. He was placed under house arrest in Islamabad, but not jailed because he is considered the father of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb.
