PEOPLE! Please! I’m surprised I have to tell you… 

1) Pelosi is a political animal, as such she should never be trusted to tell the truth.

2) Newt is a political animal, as such he should never be trusted to tell the truth, not to mention he’s a has-been.

3) The CIA is a political animal, as such they should never be trusted to tell the truth.

4) Barack is a political animal, as such he should never be trusted to tell the truth.

Both my wife and I had H1N1 symptoms (sequentially, wife first)… all but the vomiting and diarrhea, thank goodness! Very mild for flu, but not something I’d like to repeat. My wife’s symptoms lasted for a week, mine for about 30-hours. I had a "regular" flu shot in October, so maybe that gave me some partial help. Or, it’s just a person-to-person difference.

We did not go to a doctor, since at the time everyone was saying if the symptoms are mild, don’t pester the medical community. My guess is that there are many more cases than are being reported. 

Hmmm. I don’t think the gender of the purchaser is relevant either. I have no prurient interest in "mature" human pictures. I do not believe those who do should have to go into a porno shop slake that interest. Again, if Playboy will pay, go for it.

As for Howard, if you are not aware of Colin Powell’s son’s (Michael) personal attention to Howard’s show, you didn’t listen to it frequently enough. Howard made the decision, however. 

Of course, I guess India and China have it right? No abortions, just kill the little girls whenever you feel the need…

You people who believe a fetus is a human need to get real! 

You misunderstood me… whether they tell the truth or a lie is immaterial if their fate is the same. How one acts upon the "intelligence" gained is dependent upon how one obtains that "intelligence".

Morally? I wasn’t talking morals, I was talking preemptive retribution. 

Your comment, "I care that the guilty are held accountable.", is exactly what I said. Only I’m applying it to a larger population than some crooked politicians (crooked politicians? Whoda thunk???): Terrorists, pirates, felons, etc.

You want to know what should not happen again? Terrorist attacks upon our citizenry with no concern of consequences. Commandeering of free vessels on the high sea. The rape and murder of a seven year old girl. Get your head out.

I said it before, I’ll say it again… we should not indefinitely lock up terrorists, we should not torture terrorists. We should summarily shoot them in front of each other until one starts talking. Then check it out. If true, we start shooting again until another starts talking. If false, we start shooting again until another starts talking. Repeat as required.

BTW: this applies to Somali pirates, too.
