    Indeed, and given the wage declines under the Obama regime, we'll be at a Kenyan level of poverty soon.

    The west may have moved on from child labor, but that's not true in most of the world. Why should we do this? Because we're humans and have a conscience. "Oh, who cares if these kids die young, I'll get my battery 10p cheaper!"

    Well how interesting since they've had lots of those laws for about 30 years.

    That's cool. My current gas heat has a milivolt system that is powered by the pilot light. I purposely bought this one so I could have heat in a power outage.

  8. Sorry, you're right. I should have said 'If you were born before 1970 you may remember this show but after 1970 that's probably not as likely.'

    Yeah I was a crossing guard in the 1970s too. They wouldn't do that stuff now!

    Usually for both those newspapers it comes back to "no enough public money is being spent on this problem." Sometimes public expenditure IS the answer - but other times, the problem is more complicated.

    Indeed. The other thing we are missing is a literate populace. Oh, folks may be capable of reading and writing but in too many instances the comprehension isn't there. Unfortunately, trying to get one of the mythical ordinary individuals to read an article of any length of depth is not easy. So the short paragraph 'factoid' journalism can take over.

    Mitt Romney is a leftist. Any "Republican" who moves from Massachusetts to California isn't a right winger.

    Alas, those WERE The assault rifles of their time. It is you who is the nutjob. The bigger issue is that we have too many crazy people in the USA who are willing to commit murder, but GUESS WHAT? Gun violence is way, way, down over the 1970s. It's just the sensationalism of it is up, and we have an idiot in power at the moment. This is NOT TO TRIVIALIZE the victims of it. But again, I come back to we have too many nut jobs in America. Why is this? Well maybe it's because we start drugging kids from when they're born because they have the audacity to be energetic, so clearly they have ADD. Then they grow up and realize they're living a prison, so they get depressed and take SSRIs - which especially for under 25s is associated with suicidal and/or psychopathic behavior. Then the cycle continues with more meds - or, maybe, if they get off of them, they are now (say) 30 and they have no understanding of how to control themselves and their own antisocial impulses because they've always been drugged - hence the insanity continues.

    Since many of those people are veterans, your comment is insulting to both of them. Get out of NYC or the SF Bay area and look at America, not at the TV and the snotty, elitist image you have of yourself.
