  Vote No for whatever crazy notion your healthcare union has negotiated...what a bunch of tools they've turned out to be. Unions need to insist on immigration entitlements in an economy where factory work is diverted to the cheapest labour pools ( remember your father's last shanty town, Americans?) And a service economy? I can do my own laundry, thank you. We are so fucked, and so few know it. I will encourage all the credit slaves and indentured servants of the educated class ( how's paying off that student loan going these days anyway?) in North America to take whatever tax …

  Here's a useful non sequitar. Miltary suicides are on the increase...could there be a connection? This past week a number of civilian psychiatric patients were displaced in this area at local hospitals by a number of miltary personnel who were described as "suicidal". I initially wondered why the GI's weren't sent to a VA. Then I remembered this story, heard earlier this week on NPR http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17929487 Why is the military seeking civilian psychiatric assistance at this time? Especially as we wonder how far our current fascism has brought us closer to the court in the Hague?

  It is an unprecedented occurrence for a civilian hospital to suddenly have to accept GI patients, particularly of the psychiatric variety, in the middle of a war, and I think this is a story worth pursuing

  Wow...here's my own spurious factoid and irrelevant historical issue. 1006 marks the year of the "Norman Invasion" WE all know nothing good came from that eh? Whattheheck... you are the voice over for the "Global Contagion" Charlton Heston like, you will narrate the variety of recourses these folks working for $6.50 cents an hour have had in the last 2 to 9 years to "legitimize' themselves... these irreverent workers... these bastards sons of the IRS and Homeland Security. How dare they stand up and speak their minds! How dare they! Only you can legitimize them, and you hate their job stealing, …
