I do not agree just to be politically correct. What I type is what my BASIC beliefs are. I have had three score and more years of practice of speaking out against what I do not believe. In life if you don't agree with what you read speakout....if you don't you may wake up and find the goverment insists you believe it.....or die! You personal civic power only reaches to your fingertips so put your arm around your friends sholders and reach a little further.

Well said, we have friends in high places who don't seem to understand why we sent them there in the first place.

Some one has to pay for the study while we all wonder why so much for one gerenating plant. The other option is to wait till hell freezes over before we wean ourselves off of gas and coal to light the bulb. It is time to see what the end game of this suggestion is.

Iowa Senate OKs MidAmerican rate increase for nuclear study

as it relates to Mr. Leach's reference to Abraham.... The child did not have citizenship in Abrahams eyes, and he and his mother were sent packing into the desert and they ended-up living near the border of Egypt. So apparently the child had enough wealth to leave a legend for a legacy and historical purposes.......Or the Bible is lying....I will believe the words of the Bible! We don't always get what we want in life....even if we think we are right.

Abraham's wife asked him to sleep with her servent, he did, he became a father, however Jewish law said it didn't count as Ishmael didn't come from his wife. Then Sarah became jealous in time after Sarah had a son, and she told Abraham to send her servant woman away. He did. The Bible says God knew Ishmael would be a trouble maker before he was even born. But then perhaps as some would believe the unborn child was not yet a child and God was just blowin' smoke to make conversation...Huhh?

Midlife (no) crisis said on: March 9, 2010, 9:39 pm: The trouble with your statement is.......I don't know any body who wants the health care to get any more expensive or to have polititians that would sit on their hands and do nothing. It looks like term limits might be the only way to flush them out or get them to fix it piecemeal; which is all the Republicans are asking.

Do you suppose any of us have the political power to change Wellmarks 18% rate increase in health insurance? More than likle all Des Moines will is a quiet muffled groan from the public. Does anybody vote to satisfy the majority of commenters after reading the comment sections in the newspaper?

Some folks spend a lifetime to not get their fingerprints or photos taken by law enforcement for their own satisfaction of right of privacy. I they screw up and get their photos in the daily news, innocent or guilty, the public will soon forget, and God if you believe there is one, will forgive almost everything and make your life new again. If you live only, by your own personal rules perhaps we need to know who doesn't share same civil values.

[quote]The Man from Room 5 said: "People must suffer consequences from their actions to learn responsibility. Before the government forced hospitals to treat people regardless of ability to pay, there were charitable hospitals which provided a fairly good quality of service. The key thing to focus on is that they did it voluntarily. This interaction keeps charitable patients from feeling entitled to their care and rather makes them thankful so that they LEARN to plan for the future."[/quote]....Great answer and it should be read again........voluntarily....thankful.... and planing for the future not the moment.

An interesting point is made here. First "The dispute began last November," but after all this time a Senator does not have the right to know who is defending possible terrorists of his own nation. Would this type of stand-off have existed the day before Pearl Harbor? Would the names have been kept secret from President Kennidy or LBJ, Nixon, Alan Cranston, or Guy M. Gillette another Senator from Iowa?
