Did you watch any of the Live Earth concerts? Did you learn anything or were you just there to enjoy the music?

lisaneuc I watched a little bit on the Net but I have to say it didn't look like it was all that much fun being at the concert. It was kind of like watching a telethon.

Like most people, I had only heard a little about Ron Paul until recently. Today, I searched the internet a little to find out more concerning his positions concerning his run for the presidency. I found out about his position...

Do you have your fair share?

redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 19 Jun 07

Ever wonder how much is your fair share? Fair share of the USA supplies of MONEY? Given this is the age of computers, couldn't someone look up how many people there are in the USA and how many are 21 or older? Couldn't simple...

lisaneuc Equal does not mean fair. If you are a law-abiding citizen of this country, I believe that, by definition, you have your fair share based on how you've performed in the job sector and the personal choices you've made.

What is the government hiding?

redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 19 Jun 07

What is the government hiding? In March of 2006 the USA government quit reporting the M3 money supply. M3 is the widest, most inclusive measure of the amount of dollars in circulation. When M3 increases faster than the population,...

lisaneuc Hard to believe there is any cogent reason for not providing information on an ongoing data series. With problems in the mortgage industry, my concern for the coming few years is more of deflation than inflation.

Pro-lifers care about the lives of both mother and child.

Swtrose @Swtrose (3385) • Canada 8 Jun 07

Humans trying to become GOD ?

lisaneuc Why would we want to stop science that could, conceivably, provide cancer cures, save lives currently lost to malaria and produce cheap, environmentally friendly fuel? Sounds like a win-win-win situation to me.

lisaneuc I did read it the book and enjoyed it. I think it has helped frame some of the skepticism about global warming. I also read a lot of Crichton's speeches and interviews about the book - he is a very intelligent man and a rigorous thinker, IMHO.
