The Chinese government is doing a great job on the environment. Just ask the Chinese River Dolphin
making it the first aquatic mammal species to become extinct since the 1950s.
. Just as a side query: where do you think all of those old non-energy star compliant appliances go when the horrible Americans are done with them.....they end up being shipped off to China where they experience a second life without the restrictions the horrible Americans put on them to save the environment.
So to kill "2 birds with 1 stone" so to speak we should throw the kitty's into the turbines to scare off the birds and reduce the number of kitty's that kill birds....Net gain for the birds I think.
Just open Firefox and type the name you are looking for in the address bar, without the.com. Guess what, there is this new invention called the search engine and when its tied to the browser it will essentially make the domain name business obsolete. Shh nobody tell GoDaddy they might want to try that IPO thing again:P
The real problem is that it is a third party pay system. If you for instance had to shop for the services you would be much more inclined to spend your money wisely. As it sits now insurance companies strike deals with medical services and set rates.
In fact the company I work for works with state governments to set these rate for government programs. A typical knee replacement surgery is $60,000 in the U.S. But if the individual had to pay for it no one would , so the price would drop to what the market would bare, a lot less than $60,000. Add on top of this the added paperwork and regulations that now are placed on Healthcare in the U.S. it now becomes cost prohibitive to do business so guess what the rates for services go up to pay for added clerical staff.
Insurance is the bane of Healthcare, it seems like it is the answer but when an unknown third party pays there is no personal responsiblity. Of all the undocumented workers in the U.S. how many lack medical services? Not many, they use the ER's and drive rates up.
On this topic as well, why do Pharma companies advertise on TV? Doesn't your doctor already know about Lipitor? The answer is this, its to drive the consumer to buy a name brand which is more expensive which in turn drives rates up again. So with personal responsibilty healthcare in the U.S. would go down but there is no incentive since insurance is more prevailent.
Yes I am part of the problem and I have insurance but it doesn't negate the fact insurance is not healthy for the market.
Actually, the interesting part was that this administration moved the Counter Terrorism position from cabinet level, this added an additional layer of red tape. Its in Richard Clarke's book.
Just for the record. Lt. General Kerrick writes that he was with Clinton when ordered the missle attack on Bin Laden. Additionally here is the report where Richard Clarke warns Bush Administration of Al Qaeda. This clearly shows that intel was gathered about the Al Qaeda threat. I am trying to be neutral here, just relaying info.
What I find draws the most attention, when my handwriting is illegible, is to cut out letters of various typefaces and sources and glue them all together. Also it helps to title the letter with 'Manifesto'. I hope this helps.

I first became aware of this about ten years ago, the summer
my oldest boy, Bill Jr. died.
I thought that Enron was Bush's fault. Did someone change this and not tell everyone?
Fast forward 60 years and the same arguement can be applied to Iraq.

Because evolution is such a speedy process.
