was keeping the same old/same old and substituting 2009 for 2008. As an aside, I have to wonder how much money businesses (small and large) would save if they completely stopped offering health insurance to employees. Health insurance should be its own entity and not associated with the "benefits" an employee would receive. And how much more money would be saved if we did away with the for-profit greedy insurance companies altogether? IMHO, healthcare needs to be its own entity and not associated with employers or health insurance companies.

On a blog forum one should put one's own opinion, not what is posted on the internet. At least one should put it in one's own words.

On this one, please note where he says *When you�re in an environment where you don�t have access to any information sources, independent or otherwise, all you can do is conjecture. We didn�t have any access to newspapers or the Internet. *

If you copy and paste the entire thing, you stand about a 12% chance of them actually reading it. So here is, ironically, what you get when you click on the word "REQUIRE."

It might be too many words for some, but the bottom line is that this is a choice, NOT a REQUIREMENT.

America Serves

"When you choose to serve -- whether it's your nation, your community or simply your neighborhood -- you are connected to that fundamental American ideal that we want life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness not just for ourselves, but for all Americans. That's why it's called the American dream."

The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation�s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

Don't forget, he was po'd because the CIA and FBI did not work together and he was getting conflicting info from both sources, but tried to unravel which was true, or did you forget that, too?

thread, so she is not responding to anybody's attacks in this case. Second, I think it is very mean to attack someone's religious beliefs. Third, GP indicated that George Bush said that God told him to be president. If I remember correctly, George Bush said that God told him to RUN for president. So he did. SP did not say that God doing the right thing would put McCain in the White House, nor did she imply it. She said that she has faith that God will do the right thing and that his will for the country will be done. Imagine, two Christian practicing their faith and treating God as if he actually exists.

Guess what? God told me to call my sister last weekend. Am I delusional too? Or is it only delusional to think God speaks and leads if you are national figure?

Thanks for the links. I started reading through them. sm
