    Do you think 9 out of 10 fat people are fat because they live a fat lifestyle?

    It's hard to determine. I think there are a lot of undiagnosed depressed and angry and stressed people out there. Not saying that the population needs to be drugged. But I think that there's a lot of pain that people self-medicate with food. There's a certain rush of adrenaline when you eat...

    The Military is 100% funded and controlled by the government?

    So would you say that not only they do a fantastic job, but they keep their costs low as well? I mean, look at what they pay their enlisted. Some are even on those special stamps to get food too! That must keep costs down. And they all have health insurance, so that keeps costs down too...

    What are the Pros and Cons of Electric cars like the Chevy Volt?

    Let's specifically look at the new Chevy Volt. 230 MPG 40 Mile range before the battery runs out and it runs on gasoline. It needs to be recharged before it can go again. How much electric expense from your house will it take to charge the battery, and is that coming from coal plants? A...

    Has the media read HR3200?

    I was watching CNN this afternoon and they had on one of their staffers who was given the job of wading through HR3200. She was on page 200 something and the anchor admitted he hadn't read it. How many other media personalities haven't actually read what's being proposed? It wouldn't be so...

    If Public Education provides a good school for every student, would you send

    your child to any school? For example, would you send your child to any random school in say, DC? How about Rural Mississippi? Why or why not?

    By asking a doctor discuss end of life care, are you asking that doctor to...

    ...act as your lawyer? And should doctors take that risk upon themselves? Advance directives, DNRs, durable power of attorney and living wills are not exactly medical documents, but rather legal documents. And the laws regarding them differ by State. Should doctors be the ones to give this...

    Are your Senators/Representatives holding Town Hall Meetings to discuss Health Care?

    If so, are you planning on attending and making your voice heard? In my state, one of my Senators is (she's the senior Senator) and one is not (he's a Freshman Senator).

    without going into a big rant: do you think obama is a good president?

    Honestly, I think it's too early to call. If you look at most presidents' first 6 months in office, they didn't do all that much to piss off the electorate. But let's let him get underway and see what happens. It's impossible to compare 6 months with 4 or 8 years.

    Cash For Clunkers Helping Environment?

    And don't forget the environmental cost of building the new car as well. And the 10 miles per gallon is wishful thinking. I believe the limit is only from below 18 mpg to above 22 mpg.

    Will you all join me in sending Ford Motor Company a big thumbs up!?!?

    Nah, they still put out a junk product. I'll buy Ford again when they improve their output.

    Do you think the "pro-environment" message on Children's television gone a bit...

    ...overboard? My three year old was up last night worrying if our planet was going to burn up and we were going to run out of water. That's it. No more TV. Fearmongering to preschoolers is a little much IMHO.

    What is your reason to discuss politics?

    Is it to help convince other people to agree with your ideas so they'll vote the same way you do? Is it to argue? Is it to insult others just because you're behind a keyboard and no one really knows who you are anyway? What's your reason? And do you think you're helping your...

    With all the rants in here: How many have actually try to find a solution =...

    I think that y'all are pretty much in charge now. Go ahead and piss or get off the pot.
