#National Health Care
Message #196978
David, Nurses from 2 year nursing school in many cases can start at $35-40,000 per year…more than a Master's Engineering grad from MIT and more than a school teacher with a Master's degree and 20 years of experience. The doctors I know all make more than $200,000 per year. Some…

A QUESTION FOR DUKE
Message #196977
Aren't you again confusing the bandage with the wound? The social ills you name are effects of poverty–particularly poverty within a highly materialistic culture. Granted, welfare has been less than effective in alleviating the ills. That's different than saying welfare causes them.

DUKE WINS!!!! WHAT NEXT?
Message #196976
All I can say is that I'll believe in David Duke's conversion after he established a *new* record which outweighs the old neo-Nazi one. Before someone says so — no, refusing to elect him to public office is not unfairly denying him the chance to build such a record (there…

A QUESTION FOR DUKE
Message #196975
What you would rather see might work if poverty were random and less frequent. But because the poor are generally concentrated in particular rural regions or urban economic ghettos, the neighbors are usually in the same predicament. I agree that small volunteer welfare agenies can present a more human face…
Presidential Hopefuls
Message #196974
Sen. Bob Kerrey, D-Neb., a candidate for the 1992 presidential nomination, was videotaped sharing a joke with Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton, also a Democratic candidate. The joke was a sexually explicit one about Lesbians. It seems C-Span has the tape but won't release it because Clinton and Kerrey were unaware…
Fost-Adoption Option
Message #196973
I've been "listening" in on many of the adoption discussions in this forum (I'm new –Hi!) and was wondering why there was not much discussion of the Fost-Adopt options available in many states. So often, people think that adopting comes in the form of a newborn. I am a very…

Lesbians and HIV/AIDS
Message #196972
Bernie, re your posting that CDC still considers lesbian sex not to be a risk factor — have they said why not? Are they Assuming that if a self-dentified lesbian has had sex with a man and is HIV positive that she was exposed through that heterosexual incident? Or do…

DUKE WINS!!!! WHAT NEXT?
Message #196971
When was Robertson slandered and lied about? The more bizarre charges about him (that he had claimed that the microchips in credit cards were the biblical Mark Of The Beast) turned out to be all too well founded.

#Women's chests
Message #196970
Why is this section called "between the sexes?" when, after reading all the above…not one of the messages is signed by a female…. beats me! just for the record…I am a female – I have breastfed in public – I have never found a problem with it or others with…
Abortion (Logic Against)
Message #196969
Laurie, Nobody is making women reproduce. The issue is the rights of the unborn. The government is there partially to tell us what we can and can't do. Some of their decisions aren't so pleasant, but I'm glad that they restrict criminals' liberties for instance. And I'm sure we all…
Civil Rights compromise?
Message #196968
Uh, Madeline, I never owned a Politically Correct computer. I've had Macs since 1984. I don't even know much about working the PCs at work. Kevin
Civil Rights compromise?
Message #196967
Oh really? Gorby uses a Mac? I thought 68xxx's were on the restricted export list! Kevin Mitchell

Pat for President
Message #196966
Dan, Interestingly enough, the Illinois Constitution mentions individuals and not the militia! Kevin

Getting Involved
Message #196965
This is reply #2, if you will check the timestamp in the heading. I am trying very hard to communicate clearly here, so I want to add something about where I am "coming from" in the hope that the context of _my_ observations will be enlightening. I am trying to…

Constitution
Message #196964
OK, I put 4-5 with the others. Thanks for the uploads.

Vietnam – Demo's War?
Message #196963
Raymond, We did range all over Vietnam and we did attack radar and anti-aircraft sites. Brion

Vietnam – Demo's War?
Message #196962
Jack, In regard to your comment: "Don't overestimate the Afgha terrain." I don't have to worry about *my* estimate of the Afghan terrain, it was a bear for the Russians though. It particularly limited the effectiveness of air power similar to the way the jungles of Vietnam limited US airpower.…

Vietnam – Demo's War?
Message #196961
Jack, In regard to your theory that: "The Afghans did not defeat the Soviets — ie. THE US OF A DID" Main problem I see with that theory is that there were no US soldiers in Afghanistan. Other than that minor point, it's real interesting. In regard to your other…

Vietnam – Demo's War?
Message #196960
Jack, In regard to your "rule" that "Air power guarantees success in war, if it's used right." Now you've got it. A incontrovertible rule, if it doesn't hold true it was misused. How about, airpower wins every war except the ones it doesn't win? That fits all the same criteria.…

Abort./Adopt:=Choices?
Message #196959
Yes, the maturity thing is a big factor. The younger the pregnant teen, the more certain she is that she can handle parenthood. Chris

Gun control

I don't think so either. Later, Rick

Yeah. I'll go and take a look. Later, Rick

I can't argue with one thing you've said. Chris

Libertarianism Defined?
Message #196955
Well said…If you don't try to accomplish something, you won't have any problems. I like the "political" version of libertarianism as opposed to the economic or "utilitarian" version of libertarianism. You and both oppose totalitarian regimes (right wing or left wing) that trample upon individual rights. This is probably a…

Abort./Adopt:=Choices?
Message #196954
Marc, I agree that the adoption option should be one of the choices offered to pregnant women in crisis. It is however not ONLY up to her: if she has the child, the birthfather should also be contacted to determine if he agrees with the adoption plan. He may wish…

Decriminalize Drugs
Message #196953
John, what you say has some merit….but we are going to create another class of drug users added to the tobacco and alcohol ones. Believe me, as a former tobacco user for 30+ years and an occasional drinker, I've seen what these can do. As for other drugs, I was…

Anita Hill is a Liar
Message #196952
Dave: Apology accepted. You might wish to read the articles I listed earlier on this thread for the proposition that there are a number of real Marxist/Feminists, inldcuing law professors Catherine MacKinnon, of Harvard and Leslie Bender of Syarcuse. If Anhita Hill has not become one of them she has…

Women's chests
Message #196951
Yes. And IMHO it causes grief for them and for the women with whom they have intimate relationships. Trouble is, if _everybody_ is under the influence of unrepresentative standards, the nobody will be able to detect the error. Read action !t
