IMO we're splitting hairs now. The bottom line is that the there hasn't been any kind of major shift in gov policy on this issue. I stand by my original question. You could have picked other policy shifts that Obama has made, but not this one. GW caved to Wall St with a stimulus Package that didn't work and a...
I wouldn't have started another thread on a minor point but I was honoring the request of the topic author. There are things that Obama is doing that are different than Gw's or McCane's policies that I think are good. One of them is ramping down in Iraq and ramping up in Afghanistan. We left that place in a lurch...
I did see it, but it didn't address my question. I'll rephrase it: what has Obama done, that represents a change in direction from what GW was doing in response to the financial crisis.? You said "If we had continued the same path, things would be worse." From that I assumed you meant that Obama made some sort of change...

7/8/2009 3:46pm I'm just not on the electric car bandwagon. The electricity has to be generated and it's usually generated buy a fuel that could power the vehicle directly. I think it's a waste of energy to do that. There is efficiency losses every time you convert. In California there is NO excess electrical capacity in the summer to be charging a...

7/8/2009 12:57pm BTU's per cu/ft is irrelevant. BTW it's 1000. Anyway it's cost per mile. I don't know what it is but I'll check it out.

7/8/2009 11:59am CNG for cars does a few things. Cuts back on imported oil. It's cleaner burning and most people have NG piped right to their house. You might have refuel more often but you can do it in your driveway. BTW, Pickens scrapped his wind farm plans. At least for now.

7/7/2009 1:02pm I never understood this kind of fanaticism. My Sister asked me one time if I would have liked to have met Jimi Hendrix. (The greatest guitar player of all time). I said no. Not really. If he wanted to meet me I would have wanted to find out why but that's about it.

4/17/2016 12:47am There were also these two besides the accuser. * Jason Francia (born May 30, 1980) is the son of Jackson's former maid Blanca Francia, who moved from El Salvador to the US in 1975. She worked for Jackson in the period 1986–1991 at the Jackson family home in Encino, Los Angeles, at Jackson's Century City, Los Angeles apartment called "The...

7/7/2009 10:19am Read up on the case and then tell me you think that MJ was definitely not a pedophile. If the same case had been brought against a plumber or handyman, he would be in jail right now. Celebrities get a totally different version of justice than we do. Please don't try to tell me I'm wrong about that. And WTF...

7/6/2009 6:22pm I'm going to hang my hat on the fair amount of under oath testimony. Now, what do you need as proof? Because he wasn't successfully prosecuted, does that mean that you would be OK with your 9 year old staying at his house over night? Do you need to see the vid?

7/6/2009 6:10pm What kind of "proof" are you requiring? I guess jerking a 9 year old's pee pee is not physically hurting him so it's open season for NAMBLA?

7/6/2009 5:42pm Right in the triangle between Atlantic, the 710 and the LA river there's a a little track where I would take my kids. We caught gopher snakes there too. The biggest was about 7'. They get huge.
