    Given Republican opposition to Health Care Reform -mostly regulations now- can they...

    Lets hope so. You clearly haven't read the bill...at least the Senate version. The only groups that will benefit from this bill are the Pharmaceutical companies and the Insurance companies. So lets hope that the Republicans take back congress and destroy this legislative nightmare.

    Why should we not drill oil in the arctic national wildlife refuge?

    I'm just a geologist, not a wildlife expert...but here is my two cents worth. Back in the 70s and 80s when the trans-alaska pipeline was being built many environmentalists where concerned that this would affect Caribou migration routes and birth rates. What we have seen is that the pipeline...

    Army Basic Questions?

    You only have to achieve a 50% score in each category of the PT test the first time you take it. For a female that means only 10 pushups, 30 situps, and a 20 minute 2 mile. If this is too much, perhaps you should not go into the army. Even if you fail the first test, you won't be put out...

    Why are people so unwilling to accept the concept of climate change?

    You make a false statement here. Yes, the theory of global climate change is widely accepted, and well documented. However, the causes are not agreed upon, and are widely disputed. I'm fairly certain that you do not have a scientific background. I'm a geologist. The formal field of geology...
