“…need I go on?”

No. You have some good points, Joanne. On first glance, I thought it was the usual left-wing self-flagellation.

Sorry.

Way to misconstrue, miscreant. Try all of our frozen dinners, microwaved everything. milk that has a shelf life of 2 weeks, tanning salons, enhanced vegetation, puffed up poultry, office lighting, medicines/vaccinations for everything, air-conditioning, plastic wrap, overused insecticides,asbestos, and hormonal alteration and replacement therapy…..need I go on? All this convenience, we’re bound to be inconvenienced by illness at some point. May not be astounding insight–but it sure gives me pause.

Battle Fred Phelps? That just gives him the attention he craves.

Better to treat him like the MSM treats anyone to the left of Attila.

Ignore him. Far more effective.

“I just happen to think cancer is the “American Way”–the price we’re paying for all this prosperity, comfort, instant gratification etc..”

Now I get it, prosperous Americans are more prone to die of cancer because we deserve it.

Astounding insight, or total bullshittery?

I just happen to think cancer is the “American Way”–the price we’re paying for all this prosperity, comfort, instant gratification etc..

What I find more intriguing are those who die, let’s say in their eighties, and people are quick to point out “so and so died from cancer of whichever part”…as if, if that darn cancer didn’t happen they would have lived forever.

I think it is reality. They don’t call this stretch of I-95 “Cancer Alley” for nothing.

I’ve noticed that Delawareans seem strangely resigned to dying of cancer. I don’t know if it is gallows humor or what.

Just as, when anyone posts about the free market ensuring the best products prevail, they should do so using MS-DOS.

“Coburn was a former roommate with Ensign at a Christian group house on Capitol Hill and served as an intermediary for a period in 2008 between the Nevada Republican and Doug Hampton, the husband of Ensign’s mistress at the time.”

How much more could be wrong in that? I think you can get a pet goat in somewhere, but it is approaching maximum Republican scandal density as it is.

The News Journal actually did some really good journalism today on ground water pollution in Delaware today. What they fail to mention are that two of the people largely responsible for the laissez-faire approach to environmental regulation and failure of government to protect the groundwater are Carper and Castle.

When anybody talks about “self-regulation by industry,” they should be forced to stand in a corner and read that article aloud.
