Where's Ernst Roehm when you need him? Oh, that's right, Hitler arrested him and ordered him killed because he didn't need him any more. Allowing the leader of the Brown Shirts to live posed a danger to Hitler and his new band of thugs.

Full Retirement in France is 65, not 60

@rladlof, at our Green Party meeting a couple of months ago we disscussed our positions to all the props (so our voter guide to props could be posted on the Long Beach Greens site). On this particular Prop our main reason for voting no on it was because a previous prop (Prop 11) which had already passed dealt with redistricting on a smaller scale, but has yet to be implemented. Our consideration was that lets wait and see what the panel created by Prop 11 does (if they ever get their act together) prior to allowing a larger implementation of it.

Though I would be interested in getting the background information you have that lends credence to this Prop allowing "Priavte Interests" to control redisticting. Though we didn't recommend voting for this prop, we could have just as easily gone the other way since we didn't know of any real problem with it. I obviously need some education on it, if you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Dear Sally,

Last week my neighbor was diagnosed with cancer in his back. Why, because he had a heart attack and they found it then.

Now he had previously been to the doctor and requested tests, because he was experience problems. His insurance company did not find his complaint suitable enough to do the adequate test.

I live in Southern California, my neighbor has insurance, and he didn't get the appropriate health care.

For profit health care obviously is doing no better than Canada at its worst.

In regards to the CVS employee denying the $1 discount on an inhaler is more of a symptom of an employees' personal inability to see the bigger picture of the problem. Its the same thing that people experience when the want to make a purchase but can't because the cash registers computers are down and the employee believes they are incapable of doing the transaction without the computer up and running. Obviously any one with common sense knows you don't need a computer to make a transaction, but such employees are little more than automatons, they are incapable of thinking outside the box.

Of course this story begs further questions, such as:

1) Was the CVS store manager unaware of the issue and didn't override the lower employees' decision not to discount? (I'd be surprised that the manager was unaware of paramedics and and ambulance at the store).

2) Was there no other customers in the store, and if there were other customers, could not one of them out of the compassion for their fellow human beings spare a buck? (Perhaps we do prefer being a "Me Society")

3) Was there no other inhaler available at a cheaper price?

4) Why didn't the customer just open the package, take a draw from the inhaler and just deal with the consequences of the police coming and dealing with the misdemeanor charges that the store would probably be reluctant to pursue if the boyfriend could have gone and fetched a dollar in the interim between the time the crime was committed and the time the police arrived to deal with the "shoplifter"?

There are a lot of things about this story that makes me wonder just how stupid were all the parties in this case?

Sharron Angle grew up in Reno, and still lives there today -- you would think that her hometown would rally around her Senate candidacy, right?

Turns out, not so much. Yesterday the Reno-Gazette Journal, endorsed Senator Reid. Here's their headline and a snippet:

Replacing Sen. Reid with Angle would be a disaster for Nevada
"Angle has few accomplishments to claim for her eight years in the Nevada Legislature. And her much touted commitment to principle is questionable. The Republican candidate says that the federal government can't create jobs, but a federal-government-created job provided her family with a comfortable life, the same health insurance plan as the one available to members of Congress and a nice retirement."

Would you say Fox News represents ruling class interests?
