I pretty much agree with both the good doctor and esskay. My main concern is perhaps that border fence may well be intended to keep us in more than it would be to keep anyone out.
I'm thinking it would be better to learn French or Italian.

What I want to know is why the State of Iowa and several community school districts here felt the need to purchase burger packed and shipped from that plant in California that had to recall and/or dispose that record amount of meat by the FDA a few weeks ago. Of course, what made it here became expensive land-fill.
Something sure is not right when a state with its own cattle industry, that's surrounded by states with large numbers of beef cows, feels the need to import burger for school kids from sources as far off as the west coast. Methinks this might go a long way in explaining the high cost of beef.

after reading your rants for the last few months it has become apparant to me what ever became of hippies who used drugs-you guys will never change-always bitching whining complaining-why didnt you sorry asses pick up a gun in nam-why dont you pick up one now-its very easy to sit on the sidelines with your guitar while the rest of us fight and lose family-its not wise to complain about war if you have no family over there fighting-you treehuggers crack me up.
Hey Dypshyt....................
With no intention to insult your comment; "those soldiers fighting & the families that have lost loved ones because of it .........."
To date this "war" has been a "voluntary enlistment" either to the armed forces of the U.S. or as mercenaries for the compaines given contracts (no bid)in Iraq and Afghanistan and where ever else the U.S. military has troops deployed that the American public doesn't know about yet.
It's unfortunate that people such as yourself don't understand and appreciate that Dr. Pete is trying to make people aware that what these young people are signing up to fight for and losing their lives for is an oil grab by companies they probablly don't even own stock in. This is what makes the loss of young volunteer U.S. soldiers lives all the more sad.
I suggest you read up on the history of U.S. companies partnered with the Saudi's in the formation of Aramco, starting around WWII. Or even go back further to WWI when the oil grab started.
Do your homework, then see if your comments to Dr. Pete are valid.
And if you have been reading his editorals as you say.......Dr. Pete has never said anything negative about the troops fighting and losing there lives.
I applaud Dr. Pete for taking the time to try to spread awareness by writing his editorials. He doesn't need a gun........he's got a pen and he uses it very well.
