17 AnswersElections1 decade agoHow should we honor the people who died on 9/11?
Peaceful Tomorrows Statement on the 7th Anniversary of 9/11.
On Thursday, September 11, 2008, the first bell will ring at 8:46 am. Bells will ring at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, in a field in Pennsylvania. There will be commemorations in Firehouses, churches, synagogues, mosques, and parks. All around the country we will once again be plunged into total recall of those moments that ticked away so slowly. That day seven years ago we waited with terror in our hearts for some reassuring call that would never come. On that day we entered a new era, the "post 9/11 world." Nothing has been the same since.
During these last seven years, however, we have come to know that we are not alone. Our grieving has been shaped in large part by the presence in our lives of many people from points around the globe, all of whom have been directly affected by violence - war, genocide, terrorism. Their courage, their wisdom and their willingness to take extraordinary risks to stop the cycles of retaliation and revenge have helped us to see beyond our own private pain.
In Iraq last week, we attended a meeting of an Iraqi organization called LaOnf, which in Arabic translates to "no violence." It is an organization started four years ago that is devoted to the teachings of Ghandi and Martin Luther King, "absolute nonviolence no matter what." They have pledged themselves to this concept and are willing to risk their lives to spread a culture of nonviolence in every province of Iraq. While we experienced one day of terror, for them, every day is 9/11. We will stand in solidarity with LaOnf on this anniversary and spread the word across this land - that non violence and the recognition of our common humanity are the only way forward to the survival of this earth. This year, let us remember them, too.
2 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoDon't you get tired of the lies?
The actual "lipstick on a pig" quote by Obama:
"John McCain says he's about change too, and so I guess his whole angle is, 'Watch out, George Bush -- except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy, and Karl Rove-style politics -- we're really going to shake things up in Washington.’
"That's not change. That's just calling something the same thing something different. You know you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig. You know you can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change, it's still going to stink after eight years. We've had enough of the same old thing."
And then the spin by the McCain camp and McCain himself. I am REALLY tired of the Republican lie machine.
Even McCain used "lipstick on a pig"
McCain used the phrase at a campaign stop while referring to Hillary Clinton’s 1993 failed health care plan.
"I think they put some lipstick on the pig, but it's still a pig," McCain said.
So give me a break and get back to the facts. Quit trying to make Palin the poor little abused female.

6 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat was it that McCain said about Nuclear Subs?
(Responding to safety concerns that have long stalled the nuclear industry's growth, McCain boasts that) "the Navy," (in which he served as a fighter pilot,) "has safely operated nuclear power plants in aircraft carriers and submarines without an accident in 60 years."
Could it be because they don't tell anyone they are having a leak problem? Two years is a lot of leak time don't you think?

2 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoShould there be US contractors in Iraq? And should they be allowed to audit their own work?
Seems to me if there have been electrocutions of soldiers and who knows who else. Then at the least that contractor should not receive money and should not be back to do more work.
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWhat does "Finish the job" mean?
and is it possible? Don't you think that those words should be explained when they are said? Let's see like "We should finish the job, training the Iraqi's to police their own state." is that is? Maybe "We should finish the job giving them the money to give power and clean water to all their citizens." is that it? What does it mean "We should finish the job, making sure we have first bid on all the oil Iraq produces." what does it mean?
"Finish the job" is just to evasive (Intentionally vague or ambiguous; equivocal: an evasive statement.). I want to know what people are thinking when "Finish the job" is said.
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoShould we bail out Freddie and Fannie?
AND if we do do we own the houses that they made bad loans for? OR could we let the people who owe the money keep the houses.
I for one am getting VERY tired of paying for other peoples bad judgment. The Bush administration and the Federal Reserve announced an emergency rescue plan for Freddie and Fannie so quickly to spend money they don't have and put us even further in debt. Where oh where is this money coming from?
