You're right

You really don't get it. ( And if you meant to say war casualties add up to fewer than police and fire fighters, your post was worded so that it can be read the opposite way.)

The military is paid very well?  Our military?  Should just do their job and stop complaining? You think it's their job to straighten out your wife-beater brother-in-law?  How about you, his wife and the family ''man up'' and take care of your own problem?

By some standards, MTs are paid very well too (no commute, better than minimum wage) and yet we seem to do plenty of griping.  Complaining about our situation is one of Americans' unalienable rights.

to the whole country.  They're trying to take it over.  They want to control which God you believe in, who you love and what you do with your body, be it regarding life or regarding death.  If you don't voluntarily agree to turn your free will over to their control, they will hunt you down and nag you to death (since they can't do anything more violent on a message board).  It's obvious they are sick, sick people and need major help.

But they ARE like watching a car wreck and are sometimes hard to ignore.

I've thought about it, and for me personally, the very best thing to do is ignore them and for 2 reasons: 

1.  Ignoring them and not reading their posts makes my visit on this board much more pleasant.  I already know I'm not missing anything because there isn't one post on this entire board written by them that has contributed anything of value or intelligence.

2.  If we all refuse to read and respond to their posts, they might give up and go find another board to terrorize.  I doubt that, though, because they've taken over this board and simply don't have the CLASS to leave.  They take pride in their bully on the playground mentality and are proud of their ignorant behavior.  They will probably just continue to pat themselves on their backs on this board.  The only thing that might startle them and cause them to stop is that the NUMBER of posts on the Liberal board are starting to increase heavily as a direct result of their posting.  In the past, they've used the Liberal board's lower numbers to trash us for not being as interesting, when, in fact, the CON board must be pretty boring if they are always choosing to be HERE instead.

Like I said, I've decided that I'd like my visits here to be pleasant, so I'm just going to stop subjecting myself to their cesspools of attacks.  They've proven their posts aren't worth wasting time reading, so I'm just going to stop and will feel much better as a result of stopping.

If I find anything, I'll be sure to post it, but I doubt he's going to be saying much.  I think he understandably wants to distance himself as far away from this administration as he can. 

I wish he would run for President.  I'd very proudly vote for him in a heartbeat!  I'd finally be able to vote for the best candidate instead of the least worst one. 

I agree with you, and I admire and respect him very much.

It's clear the ONLY people who have true freedom of speech and freedom of thought in this country are Bush disciples.  In addition, they have the freedom to lie to the rest of America.

Don't despair.  It won't be long before a Pat Robertsonesque appointee thug of Bush will be seizing my computer, bugging my phone and knocking at my door, ready to lock me up simply because I express my distaste for a President who is incapable of telling the truth to ANYONE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, as he wraps himself in the Holy Bible and American Flag.  His enemies aren't *terrorists.*  If they were, I wouldn't be able to get on a plane now with a knife again.

His enemies are Americans who have the audacity to pay attention, think freely and voice their opinions.

My freedom of speech, free thought, expression, religion, ETC. is about to come to a screeching halt very soon.

You'd better hope you continue to obey the master, remain in step and NEVER stray from the flock.  Otherwise, the next freedom-ending screech I hear could be YOURS.

There is free speech and tolerance of extreme behavior in our nation, but here there is also a missing element of having enough social training to not persist in bothering people who do not wish to be associated with you.  In real life, this would be embarassing, but with the anonimity of the internet, people let their real selves emerge without fear of consequences.  Shunning has alway worked in the past.

They can bash all they want, they can sling all the mud --- I will remain unphased.  My decision is made, unwavering.  It really comes down to black and white (not literally, cuz who cares?).  The question is this:  Do we want business as usual or do we want a change?  Well, sign me up for the Change Train and let's get this moving forward.  McCain is doing some serious bashing.  All the nay-sayers are filled with fear.  Well how about we go with some Hope for our Future?  How bout we just go on blind faith that things can only get better and support this Positive thinking individual?  My mind is made up and will not be changed no matter what y'all sling in Obama's direction.  We need a Democrat in charge, STAT.

There is so much about her policies and activities that need to be brought too light.  We don't need to insult lovely people like Ellen DeGen and Rachel Maddow to win the election.

baby, you're alright.

...a part of that system?  I've transcribed notes that ask the reader to "refer to the note dated (pick a date) in the electronic medical record," and the note that is referred to is actually something that had been transcribed by another Transcriptionist from my company.

Most of my doctors out here have their own computers, type and print their prescriptions (for which pharmacists must be very grateful, given some of the writing I've seen), but someone is still transcribing office notes, H and P, etc.  I personally know this because I've requested copies of those documents.

On the other hand, there was a family practice physician out here I visited once who just handwrote everything into the chart -- vitals, problem list, etc. -- with no typewritten record of the visit.  Could it possibly be THOSE kinds of doctors that are the target of all this?

Considering the countries where some transcription is being outsourced these days and our precarious relationships with these countries, I'd think keeping it ALL in the USA would be a matter of national security, as well.

Maybe what they're projecting for the future is already happening, and maybe our jobs are more secure than we might think.

After all, some of us have known for more than a year now that we're living in a recession, and it's now just taking the government to catch up to that fact and finally admit it to us and the rest of the world.

(I just woke up, haven't had enough coffee yet and my usual state of "paranoia" hasn't kicked into overdrive, so perhaps this burst of optimism is just a momentary "lapse."  LOL!)
