But the repubs continue to roll up governerships, how do you explain that?

Billy Long is only reflecting the feeling of is district. Even the poor people in southern Missouri hate the federal government. They would just as soon the revenewers just leave them to their own moonshine and ditch weed. Todd Akin won in this district.

You should read the history of vaccines. Start with Ehlirch and the majic bullet. Look at the deaths by polio. How about small pox. We have elminated a diease that killed many people in the past. That is a majic bullet in my book. What you are really avoiding is a 1 in 100,000+ risk of an adverse reaction in your child to a 1 in 1000 or 100 risk of you child dieing, plus you are putting the general population at risk for an epidemic.

Do people understand their childern are exposed to thousands of atigens (read bacteria and viruses) every day. How is 15 or 20 more going to be more harmful. People are dying from measels now because of this antivacination nonsense. On this board we denengrate the climate change denigners. This bogus antivaccine science is every bit as bad as the climate denigher “science.” I would also put this antivaccince garbage in the same catagory as the creation science anti evoloution group.

This is the same guy prasied here for supporting gun control legislation. You wonder why pro gun people are nervous.

I have no problem removing the cap and taxing all wages for SS. I still don’t think its good to have people retired as long or longer than they work. I don’t think its good for society.

Also *require* doctors and providers to take Medicare patients by law.

How do you allow a surgeon to recoup his medical training and make an attractive enough wage to get enough talented people to be surgeons if you limit the reimbursement to medicare wages?

In the book the man of the house, Tip O’Neal said when he talked to constituents about tax cuts and how the wealthy would get them, he found they wanted their $10 tax cut even if the wealthy got $1000.00. This is something liberals have to figure out how to change.

How long can we afford to have people retired as long or longer than they work. While certain professions dominated by men may reduce you old age, today if you make it to 62 in decent health you may live to mid to late 90s. Can we really afford to have a healthy person retired for 35 to 40 years? If you have a disability that is different, but if you are healthy can society really afford for you not to work for that long?

Back in the early 90s a regulation that unified US hazmat transportation regulations with the rest of the world (HM-181) was held up because farmers did not want to have ammonia called a hazardous material.

Also I want to note while they are calling this a fertilizer factory, it’s just a COOP where farmers go to buy their fertilizer and pesticides. That does not make it not dangerous, but its not like a refinery that makes a bunch of stuff. They recieve ammonia in bulk then put it into “pony” tanks that farmers tow to their fields to apply before planting.

There are 1000s of locations like this across the country people have no idea what it takes to keep an advanced society fed, moving, have clean water, and power when you open the faucet or turn on the switch. They are supprised when one of these facilities blows up but then complain when the price of something goes up or a new law is passed to make them safer. Your local gas station has just as much explosive potential as this ammonia storage facility. Your local auto shop may have enough highly flamable paint to explode like this. Many print shops have enough flammable ink to explode. Your local power plant may use anhydrous ammonia to reduce the NOx pollution from it. Almost every corn, soybean, wheat field you drive by probably has ammonia applied to it in the spring and that comes from the local COOP.
