Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Give that man a Prize!
Greece isn't in the toilet because the people with jobs and lived withing their means are consuming. It's in the shitter because the government supported those who are not by giving them free things, running up their debt and over all behaving like a teenager with a credit card.
Same in the U.S. The President's own numbers show the U.S. economy essentially grinding to a halt in about 15 years due to the crushing federal debt.
Again, it's not because I own two cars, a big house and set my AC to 74.
I seem to remember that there is a legal principal that states if you initiate a chain of events that results in harm to someone, then you can be held liable, criminally or civilly. Clearly, Zimmerman getting out of the car is what started this chain of events.
I won't say he's a murder or not...not my call...that's for a jury.
The problem is that this case, which is a simple, clear cut situation of someone playing Dirty Harry, has been hijacked by everyone to advance their own agenda.
Everyone in the media and politics should just shut the fuck up and let the investigation proceed.
On the other hand, there is always a kernel of truth in their rantings.
To think that this very specific editing was an accident is a fools errand. Especially in light of NBCs previous, Ends Justifies the Means reporting tactics.
That sound like an opportunity to me. Consumer Reports, Angies List, many other publications and sites dedicated to helping a consumer figure out what is good and what is bullshit. There is no reason their can't be the same thing in this situation. In fact, there is already information about which tests are recommended for routine evaluations for men and women at certain ages.
You can't indict the idea of a true market for health care because the mechanisms to support it have not been created..catch 22.
And Obamacare wasn't done with the most insane partisan Congress ever. They didn't even fucking for for the final bill, they just "deemed" to have passed.
I am about to go in for my 50K mile check up. There is a battery of blood tests they run for all kinds of markers. My Dr. uses a particular lab and sends the orders there. I have no choice in the matter.
In a real market situation, the Dr. would provide the lab test orders to me and I could shop around at different labs to see who had the lowest rates for the tests (which can be expensive). That's just a simple example. There are many more out there.
After the Supremes ditch that abortion of a Bill, Obamacare, there needs to be a top to bottom evaluation of the entire medical system.
Fundamental assumptions about the value of a service and the person providing that service need to be challenged. The infrastructure of record keeping, ownership, and payment needs to be overhauled. Information about services and their costs need to be plain and transparent because if any market is to function correctly, all the players need to know all the facts up front.
"The head of NASA congressional appropriations asked me, 'Is it going to work?' And I said, 'Of course!' So she went and identified herself very closely with the project. So then we find it doesn't"
It is ironic that the very same "enlightened" policies that the Democrats advocate are largely responsible for the destruction of the black family. The Democrats brought us Cabrini–Green and welfare queens. Just as they now are bringing us hyperbolic racial situations.

Yeah!
Next thing ya know, they will be spilling the court sealed details of their opponents divorce records or something.
The underlying assumption should be "if governments continue to run up their debt at the current pace."
Another pro-tip. When someone has been wrong time and time again, they will probably be wrong this time.

Nice mischaracterization of the Stand Your Ground law.
Shooting is a last resort as taught by virtually all CCW classes.
You are right. My Bad.
It was Kennedy.

Hell, I seem to remember that Biden called him Osama.
Funny as hell.

In a word, yes.
The Dems/Progressive/Libs camp have been whining about compromise ever since 1994.
Of course when they regained the majority, all that sentiment went out the window and they just shoved things down everyone's throat.
So yes, when the Dems are out of power they are all about talking compromise. When they are in power, they don't give a shit about it.
I've been hearing people bitch about "negotiating" and compromise for decades. Turns out, their version of compromise is when you agree with them.
Obviously someone who thinks that the Goons at the TSA have an IQ somewhere north of 80.

And to make it doubly worse, that is the dynamics that happens when the government pays for it also.

I would disagree.

Do not challenge the AGW crowd. Retribution will be swift and sure.
...ll the villagers will read the news on their iPad 2 while milking the goats and gathering honey.

Serves the bitch right.
Spoken like a true tribalist.
Again, they used to.
Like or not, while there are many good scientists still out there, the PUBLIC face of science is that of a bludgeon used by some to control others.
