In Reply to: NYT article about Dutch "socialism". sm - oldtimer
Thanks for posting. I thought I remembered hearing that the Dutch model was a pretty good one, but it was nice reading about a firsthand account. There are a few things that I would have liked to seen answered in the article- cost of living type issues. However, as a person without health insurance (prohibitive cost), it was nice to read an article that presented the positive side of universal health care. I'm sure the NYT made a conscious choice in running this article now, but it was informative and good fodder for thought at a time the nation is discussing- among other things- revamping our system of medical care.

That was very informative! Thank you.
Can't say I'm shocked, though. I sent it to all my friends and relatives. Even my neighbor, who is a staunch Dem...except for the past 2 elections. He voted Pub, as he says, "the lesser of 2 evils." 
This was very informative.
Thank you for posting. It just makes me wonder even more why certain people are being placed in our governement when they are such obvious crooks!!!!
This is a very informative site.
Thanks for posting it. I'd be interested in knowing your views on the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 (killing 34 American soldiers and wounding 171).
Also, how do you feel about Israel spying on the United States?
We all pretty much know Hezbollah's/Iran's/Syria's role in all this. I think it's time we take a good look at the other countries involved in this region including America and Israel.
Again, thank you for a very interesting and informative site. I hope you keep posting. I think I can learn a lot from you.
This is really not such an informative site.
This is a very small handful of Jews (I am Jewish) and they are here in the United States. They have lost touch with what is happening in Israel. The rest of what you are saying is just confusing to me. What are you getting at? To see the few posters on this board, all of a sudden, Israel is the great evil and Hezbollah are saints. It's really sickening.
Very Informative about Immigration
It's 13 minutes long, but well worth it (and no commercials)!
As we prepare for the expected Congressional battles over immigration numbers this fall, it’s a good time to take stock of the urgency of our cause and the tools we have available to help fight for lower immigration numbers.
This video captures the essence of NumbersUSA and is a must-see for anyone who wants to fully understand the basic information behind our work.
Or, you can cut and paste this link into your browser:

There is, perhaps, no better way to quickly understand the essence of NumbersUSA than to watch
this video. If you haven’t already seen it, you must watch. If you have, I recommend taking another look or forwarding it on to your friends and family.
For more information and feedback on the video, please see my recent blog entry: http://www.numbersusa.com/content/nusablog/bealea/august-25-2008/13-minute-video-heart-numbersusa.html.

Yes, very informative, but very long.
i hope tihs opens up the eyes of some on this board. I said it before but I was called a liar...now it's in black and white in this paragraph:
"So what do we do now? In 2000, the 106th Congress as its final effort passed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act (CFMA), and, disgracefully, President Clinton signed it. It opened up the bucket-shop loophole that capsized the world's economic system. With the stroke of a presidential pen, a century of valuable protection was lost."
This was so wrong. I agree those at the top of this mess should be prosecuted to the fullest, and not by a slap on the wrist or house arrest. I think the bailout money should be paid back. As it stands, they are being rewarded for failing.
If you or I fail at our job, do we get bonuses? Do we get money from the feds for doing a lousy job? Do we get rewarded for cheating and lying? No...and they shouldn't either.
It sounds like this guy has some faith in Eric Holder, but only time will tell. I doubt Geithner is a good choice and I'm sure if O, Congress and Senate weren't in a such a hurry, they could have chosen more sensibly. What's the rush anywho? The economy is in the dumps and will take a long time to dig out. A few more weeks of looking for the right candidate wouldn't have hurt that much more.
People are still losing their jobs and homes. I don't see anything happening yet except that they want to pass the second stimulus package which STILL does not help the workers that much. Yet they are gung ho to pass it. They just have their mind set on one thing - stimulus, nothing else.
Okay, I'll get off my  again.
In my opinion, it is an informative site.
You're entitled to your opinion and whether you like it or not, I'm entitled to mine.
And I'm sorry, but as you know, my questions weren't directed at you. They were directed at objective people who might possibly believe that Israel is not perfect. Contrary to your vivid imagination, nobody on this board ever said Hezbollah are saints. I am just trying to explore everyone's role in the recent mideast war, including America's. It's sad that you feel the search for the truth is sickening. Your tummy might feel more comfy in the The Israel-Is-Perfect-And-Can-Do-No-Wrong room. The door is thataway >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaning, I read and try to find informative sites
xx
Yup, forgot Glenn came over from CNN, yes, he has great informative shows....nm

Great and really informative article, but the reasons we find the economy in this problem....sm
is all the banking deregulation that has taken place over the past 9 years or so....without any regulations at all, the banks have had free reign to wallow in their greed, invest their investor's money in very speculative and dangerous deals trying to make as much quick money as possible, and when it all blew up in their face, we all are expected to rescue these despicable creatures because the econmomy and wellfare of the nation, its homeowners, small businesses, etc., will just be the true victims suffering every greater losses. Yes, I agree that soem of the article's highlighted practices are very frightening for us, but right now we are facing an unprecedented financial tragedy in this country....blame all the banking deregulation, and those who proposed/allowed it as "free enterprise (interpreted=unbridled greed and robbery) as the horrid lesson here.
