I asked questions only, but I must have striken a nerve... I still am interested in the answers to them, by the way. [I have a deal for you MissS. How about you don't respond to me and I'll not respond to you? I don't mean it mean-spiritedly, just better for everyone.]

The city has reviewed its practice, and in future, will make personal notifications to homeowners whose power is about to be cut off or restriced - the horrible thing is that they are admitting they did not even warn this man in person...

Primitive tools and artifacts crafted from Obsidian which originated from a place called Obsidian Cliffs in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming) have been recovered from archaeological sites in North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and southern Canada... How do you suppose they got to all those places. Socialism? quote: ORIGINAL: colouredin Yup and capitalism aint that old either

Government regulations are behind today's economic problems, more than anything - socialist tinkering. This scandal belongs at the feet of socialists such as Barney Frank and Barack Obama. quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic Brutal Capitalism has been raping the working mans table just as long ask the 50 000 people who lost their jobs yesterday, nothing to do with feminism or welfare...greed and deniability as usual. sickening Lucy

I was kidding, Sanity. I think everyone agrees that capitalism in some form is essential to human society. The issue is to what extent, and within what constraints.

Lucylastic -> RE: What life is worth (1/27/2009 11:43:08 AM)
just a passing thought, barney frank, barak obama and socialism are at fault for companys like citigroup ordering or taking possession of a 50 million $ jet? socialism at its finest huh Id rather have pay to have 93 year old man stay alive for a 1000 buck bill than see those cockroaches flying in their jet Lucy

Obama is inaugurated last week, and the economy goes down the bog. Socialism at its best [8\|] .

Come on Kittin,what else does the man in the Charlie Brown shirt have left? Be charitable,leave him to rant,what else can he do.

This scandal belongs at the feet of socialists such as Barney Frank and Barack Obama. Uh, no. The economic crisis is due to "credit default swaps" (a misnomer for "mortgage portfolio insurance"), not the housing crisis. Were it not for them, there would have been a $70 billion bailout instead of a $700 billion bailout, and companies like Lehman Brothers and AIG would still be in business, and banks wouldn't have been freezing credit lines left and right. And all this was due to the lack of government regulation. In fact, were it not for credit default swaps, there wouldn't have been the gigantic demand for sub-prime mortages, so it actually would have been less than $70 billion. The author of the credit default swaps legislation? None other than McCain's economic advisor, former Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas). Rumor has it that if McCain had been elected, Gramm would have been named Treasury Secretary.

No, the horrible thing is that this was preventable. The VERY horrible thing is that they do not accept any moral responsibility for what happened; instead they blamed it on neighbors not looking out for one another. (And for those 'people' who defend it by saying he should have paid his bill and because he didn't, he deserved this? If he heated with electricity this may have only been 2 months worth of charges. You don't know his circumstances...well, we know one: he froze to death.) edit: typo You don't know.

quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol I think shutting off the electricity on a vulnerable person because he didn't pay his bill, with the arctic weather we're going through right now, is criminal. I totally agree, and I would support all you pretty girls who are outraged by this kind of shit standing up for what you believe and doing something to help keep us old guys warm. (Address follows) [:D] K.

kittinSol -> RE: What life is worth (1/27/2009 1:32:45 PM)
You're shameless, Kirata. I know of one way to warm your buns, but I'm not sure you'd approve of it.

quote: ORIGINAL: MissSepphora1 Well stop expressing your compassion and concern, and actually DO something about it. What gives you the moral high ground do nothing and say everyone else is bad for doing nothing? ....ah, my favourite angry person. First off, whats wrong with expressing ones compassion and concern and doing something about it? These are not mutually exclusive actions. Why do you assume they are? Secondly, coming from someone that has, on these fora, advocated the death of thousands of fellow citizens in order to score a partisan point you have no right to the moral high ground. Thirdly, you have failed to tell us how many elders you have visited in the last week. i have visited 5. i'm not related to any of them. i also brought them all food, and i'm not paid to do so. i also utterly condemn the company that shut off or otherwise restricted the power to this unfortunate old man. So, go on, tell me to put up or shut up.....i wonder, will your anger get the better of you?
