And that dear sir, is what separates the servants from the masters.

Behind every hamburger there is a gut pile. Unless you are a vegan, criticizing hunting (for food) is hypocritical.

And even more amusing is that most people realize that the republicans and democrats are basically the same when it comes to power and control. Only the details change. Yet many will still laugh at the libertarians or the independents. The herd mentality is to strong and I see no hope of the masses voting for anything other than what they know.

Why would islamic fundamentalists want these? They prefer suicide bombers and standard weapons of warfare. The real people we need to worry about are the governments who will use this technology to "keep us safe".

I believe he was referring to the so called "war on drugs" which has made criminals of countless thousands of individuals who choose to use recreational drugs such as pot but pose no threat to society.

Are you that stupid? I've never seen a gun that was non-military claim to be for "killing people". I guess target shooting and hunting do not exist in your world. You need to get out more.

The vaccine debate is a religious one on both sides and your statement is evidence of that. The data suggesting that vaccines are working is overwhelming and trying to deny that they have worked is ridiculous. There is also risk to vaccines and they can cause harm and trying to deny that is ridiculous. The bigger question is whether or not over use of vaccines is creating a similar problem as the overuse of antibiotics. And in the process are we actually reducing our ability to adapt as a species to environmental pressure and stress.

If the reasoning for her getting the flu shot is that she will present less risk to her patients then why not have her wear a full body condom? The argument of "protect the patients" is eerily reminiscent of "protect the children". I'm sure the substances in flu vaccinations are just as harmless as so many other substances deemed "safe" for use such as DDT, etc.. It's not like big corporations have influence in government decisions, heavens no!

Imagine if Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon, etc were president. Would you be comfortable with the power they have? If not, the current president and congress have to much power. Period. You should always imagine a 'bad guy' in the seat of power and act accordingly because someday, the bad guy will be there.
