I still am interested in the answers to them, by the way.

Everyone who feels really bad about this should put up or shut up. Pay extra on your electric bill and make sure you note that it is for a disabled person, or remember that we are ALL the cause.



How do you work that out?

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?

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.

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.

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.

....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?
