Re: Clark Defender - Update

There is no proof who "Jr." is. In any case you often make references to opinion pages instead of to facts. Changing the subject seems to be another tactic you like to use instead of proving a point.

I would point out past instances, but that is impossible because you delete your posts. It is rather frustrating.

In the future, I will try to post more quickly to meet your time limits so you can see what I mean. I have a job so I cannot spend too much time at it.

It looks like Cheney learned the same accounting methods as Enron's Key Lay. I'm sure they helped him when the initial cost estimates for the Iraq war were made prior to it's start.

Re: The Sweet Taste of Hatred

Posted By Tom Rodstrom

I don't think there's much hate in this forum. Lots of anger and frustration. I don't think many Americans have seen enough hardship to really hate. Actually, bickering can be a good thing (even I have learned a few things).

The fire Sunday was surreal. The sky was dark like an eclipse. Cars were using headlights at noon. I'm about 1/2 mile from the southwest corner of the big fire in San Diego, but away from the brush. I did watch the news very carefully for most of the day (just in case).

Now they are saying that there were helicopters and firefighting planes available when the fire was just starting in a tinder dry inaccessible area. They were not used because federal regulations say that all firefighting planes must land 1/2 hour before sunset. One Sheriffs department helicopter was turned back when it was just 6 minutes from the fire.

In my opinion that's just someone who is bigoted, has an agenda and doesn't mind twisting the facts. Some people work so hard to present their own views that they loose objectivity and can only see their point of view. This is particularly true in Religion and Politics.

Real hatred demands action, it is more like: "Don't turn your back on me or let your kids out of the house."

The real question is: How do they taste (or vice versa).

We support blindly Israel without regard to their vicious tactics with ALL Plaestinians.
