RE: Third Party
[Read the article: MoveOn, Limbaugh and how the game is played]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"How about instead of throwing your vote away on a third party, try making the Democratic Party one you're proud to vote for?"
Well first you have to ween them from all the happy pills.
Then you have to ween them from the defense contractor's monies.
Let's don't even mention AIPAC since the first two are unpossible anyway.
The Democrats do not want to change. They figure that if the Republicans screw things up enough they will be given the reigns of power and what they do doesn't matter anyway.
Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are more likely to become world leaders and nobel prize winners than the Democratic Party become the Democratic Party again.

Psychopaths hate being mocked and laughed at.
[Read the article: MoveOn, Limbaugh and how the game is played]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Psychopaths hate being mocked and laughed at. It freaks them out and makes them angry. They don't understand certain aspects of humor because psychopaths tend to have a flattened aspect. They lack the depth to process satire, mockery and sarcasm, but they know enough to know that it is directed against them and THEY DO NOT LIKE IT.
Too bad the Democrats are also psychopaths.
Don't hold your breath expecting anything but what they already deliver.

Lynx
[Read the article: Ask the pilot]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Lynx, air quality suffered as a result of the smoking ban because they used the lack of tobacco smokers as an excuse to power down or not run all of the air filters and cleaners which provide life support on the aircraft. The only bottom line is that the passengers must now arrive alive to their destinations.
With less life support, the levels of CO2, pollution and airborn germs increase. After an airplane flight, you probably should feel a little sick. Increased levels of CO2 causes anxiety, confusion and panic. That is why we put bags over the heads of prsioners that we torture. That coupled with the well known high altitude potentiation of the effects of alcohol and the fact that a large percentage of the population are on dangerous legal drugs causes some people to freak out. In this day and age that can result a summary extrajudicial execution.
I'd rather put up with tobacco smokers. There is no reason that a "smoking cabin" could not be put on a plane. People would pay extra for the privilege just like first class and the airlines could profit off of the deal.
I don't smoke, I don't like smoke, but give me smoke and clean air rather than air that makes me ill. Just no fruited cigars, or pipe tobacco - send them to the cargo hold.
Legalize tobacco on aircraft so we can all breathe easier. That makes more sense than anything that has issued from the government or either political party for decades.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The only thing that the ADL is interested in is making sure that as much of or tax monies as is humanly possible is given to the war industry profiteers. They will not condemn their partners in this ugly business.

Owning the "Holocaust"
[Read the article: Follow-up to the silence from the ADL regarding Fox News and right-wing talk radio]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How dare anyone lay claim to that?
It means to be burnt - totally. It was used to describe the Catholic Church's extermination of the Albigesinian "Heresy" in with whole towns and cities were destroyed and the "heretics" were all burned alive. "Kill them all and let God sort them out" is the slogan of the that holocaust.
The "Nazi Holocaust" does not belong to one group. It should belong to everyone, because if we accept that everyone was a potential victim then everyone has a share in seeing that it doesn't happen again. Denying, ignoring or belittling the suffering of the other victims of that "holocaust" is just as heinous and odious as doing so to the Jewish victims of that holocaust.
What about the victims of the very literal holocaust by firebombing of cities by aircraft? They do not count?
All of the mass murders that have occured since WW2 are all equally heinous and odious. What about them?
People are people, regardless of what racial, religious, or ethnic programming they have had. When psychopaths decide that they can slaughter people of any kind en masse, it is a problem for everyone. When a psychopath runs out of type of victim, they find another type. We are all targets.
Right now, the Iraqis are our targets and the Iranians appear to be our next targets. Anyone who finds that acceptable is on the wrong team.
