    The F$$d P$lice are C$ming

    I totally agree that there is more to the obesity problem than lack of exercise as sited by headache a few pages back. More mandated physical activity in schools, even if its mandated cardio for the kids who are uncoordinated and hate track and field Health classes that can realistically...

    What Is It About 20-Somethings?

    I agree with your yes and no.. I believe that it is really good for 20 somethings to enjoy life on their own before entering marriage and children. I keep telling my kids to not even think about that stuff until they are over 25. I also think that with this economy it is very hard to be out...

    Let's talk about 'Stuff'

    Thanks for posting this Angela Harlem.. I love this video and thought of posting it here a while back. It has really made me conscious of how much cheap/disposable items are out there and how it is bad for the environment and for people.

    MANDATORY health insurance, part 2

    What I would like to see happen is that people are educated about this without making it seem like they are being educated by "liberals" or that the "conservatives" are playing games. While I cannot understand why the Republican party would distance themselves from policy that they helped...

    MANDATORY health insurance, part 2

    I hope I'm not being repetitive here.. but I thought this was interesting: Side-by-Side Comparison of Major Health Care Reform Proposals - Kaiser Family Foundation A side by side comparison of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (P.L. 111-148) with amendments included in the Health...

    Go Scott Brown!

    Yeah, I'm feeling that way today too. I wish this wasn't happening in my state.. but the anger and righteousness is every where. What I am not understanding is why didn't the GOP work on the health care reform? Why is it that none of them invested time in it? Instead the energy was spent...

    Ted Kennedy, R.I.P.

    So why bother to get people upset? You got under my skin again. A lot of your posts do not show that you feel this way. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!!

    Ted Kennedy, R.I.P.

    That was so moving Matt, Thank You. I also happened to be able to be along the highway to say goodbye. I had the day off of work and was heading to Brewster for a camping weekend (shortened by rain). He has done great things and it saddens me how so many people can't look beyond the flaws...

    Easter - anything? or will you pass over the holiday?

    Went to a children's activity on "Bad" Friday, never seem to get this Holiday as I can't get past Jesus dying on the cross. It's always depressing for me and actual life events seem to be usually be depressing as well. Will go to children's service tomorrow morning. Last year they released...

    Bono, Andrew Mwenda, and TED talks...

    It wasn't clear that the video was edited and there is no transcript.. so it was hard to understand what happened. From what is left from the edit and finding what was written about what he said, it appears that Bono made a statement and didn't try to debate it. Reading the blog on a recount...

    Bono, Andrew Mwenda, and TED talks...

    :shrug: I missed it too.. at 5 min 50 seconds Andrew Mwenda leads into where Bono "interrupts". I researched this for a transcript and could not find one. I couldn't hear what Bono said.. it sounds like he starts with "yes, yes" but it certainly didn't seem like he was "heckling". I also...

    FYM'ers Weigh In

    Yeah, I have to say that "cockatoo" was not easy to adjust to for me... reading the reviews on Breathe before the release of the album had me thinking it would be an instant fave.. but I stumbled over that word a bit and it took me longer to warm up to the song. Moment of Surrender was my...

    Go Obama!

    Short term criticism may receive long term praise.. the whole article is complaining of the speed, not what they will actually implement. I would be assuming the same..

    FYM'ers Weigh In

    During the Pentecost, everyone that spoke different languages could understand each other. Does he mean that the "pain would stop" because everyone will join together as one in understanding? Every eye looking every other way would stop?

    January 20, 2009--Inauguration Day

    If Obama's lead was not cemented at that time, I did not predict that McCain would have won.. I'm just saying that the presidential race was not as tight.

    January 20, 2009--Inauguration Day

    I find this to be true as well.. getting the shots of yourself/friends/family into the scene makes the photos when you look back at them.

    January 20, 2009--Inauguration Day

    ??? What are you trying to say to me deep? I am trying to incorrectly state history? Deep said that Obama's lead caused the crisis.. I was pointing out that the financial crisis.. perhaps along with McCain's insane-old-man reaction is what solidified a lead for Obama. Yeah, the Palin pick...

    I thought that the financial melt-down kick in in September was when the polls solidified Obama's lead..
