If You Get a Speeding Ticket, Should Your Income Determine the Price?

  • and said:

This is so obamaesque it’s frightening… The new, more corrupt, more powerful than ever federal government is already planning on levying outrageously high taxes on the rich, soon we will have universal health care which will antagonize almost every doctor and healthcare system in the country, and now this is just a slap in the face. How could the rich somehow deserve to pay more for the same offense? Is that equality?I personally can’t wait until the federal government pushes the upper classes (economically) away to the point of no return. When all of the motivated, hard working americans finally realize they are being utterly screwed by an oppressive socialist regime, and separate themselves from society (Atlas Shrugged -Ayn Rand ), all you whiners who think this is a good idea will be left with no-one to treat you at the hospital, no-one to donate money to charities and your children’s schools, and no-one to employ you… It will just be you and your deranged politicians.

The majority of the country lives in these areas…. whoever wrote……………… ”Like this benefits the entire country?  Take tax money from the majority to benefit the minority.  Yep.  Our government at work once again.”Here is a map to prove it.

For those of you that missed it, there was a Good article that goes well with this a week or so ago. Check it out.  It is about fuel efficiency for different modes of transportation. Trains come in second.

There Are Drugs In Your Water

  • and said:

The only real implications of this study is that our water is not as clean as we may have thought, so we have room to improve.

There Are Drugs In Your Water

  • and said:

Well seeing as prescription drugs aren’t meant to kill, you should be fine. Even the more deadly / accident prone drugs are not very powerful on the scale of parts per billion or parts per trillion. It would be much much worse if there were biological contaminants in our water such as bacteria or viral strains, because even in small doses, those can reproduce within us. Basically, your body will process the minute portions of drugs, but little real effect will be observed.

Sorry, it didn’t let me post an image, here is a map of where some of these tests were done, and the results. And here is an excerpt,—” To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, measured in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe.” (from MSNBC)

Obama Caps Pay for Bank Executives… or Does He?

  • and said:

$500,000 dollars a year? Even if it did apply it is almost 10 times the average household income in the US according to the US Census… It would be understandable, seeing as they are executives, but when it is our taxpayer money that is the basis of their paycheck, there is a problem. ”A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have”  -Thomas Jefferson

Makes perfect sense when you look at how much inconsistency you and others have every day, maybe a bad day just means the water you drank with breakfast had too many sedatives or some other drug.
