“I don't think that this is doubted by anyone.

The real question is: how is the reward for the creation of wealth distributed? And how are the rules set? And who sets the rules ...in reality?

My favorite: what are the folks at Wall Street ...creating?

They are shifting funds around, certainly of some value (if properly done), but valued millions of $$$?”

“Those pesky AI diseases own the habit of going into remission spontaneously. Tough to say your approach did it. I have had numerous remissions that told me: I found it!! Until it lapsed again.”

“Sure, he played that game with the Sudetenland and won. But don't tell us that he wasn't prepared to go beyond poker anytime.”

“Your last paragraph: it scares me, the thought that this could be the case...it scares me.”

“Just plain unbelievable.

That somebody offers that opinion and still gets a public platform anywhere, ...just plain unbelievable.
Well, like Obama said and it's probably true for all the 'mainstream' media these days: TV loves ruckus.

The guy is just brain dead.”

“Well, yeah, they made it up to 35, maybe 40. 50?

But on the 'junk produced in foreign sweatshop', I agree.”

“For your convenient entertainment:

Cheers.”

“You are right on the money. The wording 'ultra' makes this 'ultra' suspicious. No doubt, many of the recommendations do make sense, but they are obvious. There is extreme malnutrition in this society, the dominance of processed food is certainly very detrimental for health. The stress to achieve goals take a heavy burden. And.....

But what he is proposing is just new packaging. I would say, use the contents but don't fall for the packaging.

I have been suffering for years for some very unpleasant disease, tried various alternative routes. No success. I am now able to deal better with it and: conventional medicine offered me a bypass road.

Nope, I feel things aren't that easy as Dr. Hyman describes, sounds all good but at the same time sounds too good. I'd rather see continuous scientific progress.”

“You are filling my heart and mind with pain.

It just hurts so much.

I feel with you, though.”

“instagladiators comment applies:

"You are wandering off topic with your comments. Exxon has shirked its responsibilities to the community (and nation) by not adequately cleaning up THEIR mess. They are simply treating this as an act of nature and leaving it for someone else to worry about, or nature to heal herself. Hello?"

So it's part of the cost of an oil based economy. It cannot be that the oil companies get away with something like this and thus hide the real cost.

Yes, we had the spill back20 years. You can very well see how well that's been taken care of.

But good that the departing Exxon CEO got this 400 million $ package. Such a poor boy.”

“"First they came for the Jews (or Muslim, or Atheist, or Hindu, ...), and I didn't speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists, and I did not speak out -because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out -because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me"

Where are we heading???? Where???”

“They unlawfully wiretapped him.

The rule of law, if neglected , lashes back. Sometimes.”

“Well,

then you must give your voice to McCain.

McCain, who selected a VP based on nothing, didn't even push her through any serious vetting process. We all see the results now.

On the surge, McCain is claiming the success. Well, there are many knowledgeable sources that paint it a little different, I don''t mean just Mr. Woodward as a single source. Others support Mr Woodward's assessment. Petraeus obviously wasn't so much running brute force, much more he used diplomacy. There was recently a documentation on ethnic cleansing in Baghdad, Shias pushing Sunnis out. An impressing satellite based in investigation. Consequence: the violence ceased down after this cleansing. Nice. So much to McCain's beloved surge.

Mr. McCain's very recent contribution to the economic crisis was more like pathetic. he didn't have any other contribution than to break this thing apart. Congress will have to an dwill pick up the pieces, but this surely wasn't a masterpiece of Mr McCain.

I don't even talk about Mr MCain's other catastrophic blunders, like his famous Beach boys tune intonation, his uncontrolled temper, his bellicosity in the Georgian crisis,...

But go ahead, if you think he's your guy, and you like his his VP, a GW denier, creationist supporter, anti abortionist even in the case of rape,..

Go ahead.”

“Well said.”

“And that is exactly the point.

As with the misguided adventure in Iraq the press, the media, once again walking in lock step with the administration advertised doctrine.

The US media scene is a disgrace. The fourth power a complete failure.”

“That's the beauty of science, it can be challenged any time.

You've got to have good data, though. Kepler had those, the current GW non believers lack them. Otherwise they would have convinced 95% of the relevant climatologists.”

“I would say that's one of the most confused I ever saw here.”

“This is no serious incidence, this is petty, the FCC won't have to respond.

If Janet Jackson loses control over her bra, that really is a reason to be outraged,
but not if someone tries to incite murder.

(Hint: sarcasm )”

“Too many.”
