Those of us without insurance must subsidize those with insurance. It's the joy of corporate fascism. When the government controlled business model created to keep the rich politicians and their insurance companies buddies rolling in the dough and power fails to carry the cost of the system those who either choose to opt out or cannot afford to participate in the first place are forced to pick up the tab. Socialism for the rich, competition for the poor. But for gas, Get a high quality airfilter (just a direct replacement for the factory, like K&N), new muffler, and a thing called a turbonator. All combined for about $300 I went from 30 mpg to 36 mpg. That's average, highway and city driving.

US Sucked Into Israeli - Iran Conflict Posted: 6/21/2008 12:19:24 PM
Our current leadership and both major presidential candidates have made it quite clear that Israeli sovereignty is more important then our own. War with Iran will do one thing for sure. No-one will worry about gas prices anymore. The economy will collpase completely and no-one will have anywhere to drive to anyway. Of course, total collapse of the US dollar may be the plan anyway. Much easier to implement drastic measures for global financial centralization when the primary currency is destroyed.

The Death Penalty - When is it ever justified? Posted: 6/21/2008 10:39:46 AM
The primary issue we should take into account when dealing with the death penalty is whether or not a State is morally capable of making a decision as to whether or not someone should live or die. If you look at the way the death penalty in the United States is applied unequally between people of different socio-economic classes and of differing races any thinking person can easily come to the conclusion that the death penalty should be abolished or at least have a moritorium place dupon it until our "Justice" system can be corrected. If capital punishment cannot be applied fairly and in a manner in which the benfit outways the cost in EVERY SINGLE CASE it should not be applied at all. These are people lives we are talkign about here. If there is any doubt it is better to err on the side of caution. Also, it is well known that maintianing an inmate on deathrow (average stay is 20+ years) and the cost of the inmates appeals far outweighs the cost of life imprisonment. Appeals can only be sought with life imprisonment due to errors in the execution of the case against the criminal while death sentence appeals are far more broad and time consuming. Minus any differences between Federal and State of course. Some crimes are deserving of the death penalty, I believe this strongly. But do we really want the same people who run the DMV and the IRS deciding who lives or dies? The same system that lets OJ go free and murders a Mother and her Child at Ruby Ridge with no consequences to the Federal Agents involved. I bet everyone of you who is advocating the death penalty has made a statement at some point to the inefficiencies of governemnt and yet you think they are perfectly capapble of being right about killing someone. Those guilt yof particularly heinous crimes should face death. The System that applies it shoudl be absolutely th ebest it can be though. We do not hav ethat in the US. Maybe they do in Japan, who knows?
