and THIS article ............................................
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051004/...bush_avian_flu

"Dr. Irwin Redlener, associate dean of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and director of its National Center for Disaster Preparedness, called the president's suggestion an "extraordinarily draconian measure" that would be unnecessary if the nation had built the capability for rapid vaccine production, ensured a large supply of anti-virals like Tamiflu, and not allowed the degradation of the public health system."

"The translation of this is martial law in the United States," Redlener said."

Btw I am aware that the former chief justice also never sat on the bench before his appointment, and that its not uncommon for presidents to stack the court with friends, however bush has a habit of placing incompetant cronies in high places....

Sensei Saki

OK.

Do your friends call you aware that the former chief justice also never sat on the bench before his appointment and that its not uncommon for presidents to stack the court with friends however bush has a habit of placing incompetant cronies in high places.

yes saki, my friends call me aware of many things, one of which is that you are a pesky computer program. (with very nice assets)

u know what, it doesnt even matter because not only is there nothing we can do about it, but most americans dont even care. look at all the bullshit this administration has pulled already. all we can do is sit by and watch our country flush itself down a fucking toilet. and thats for those who care. the rest arent even willing to turn off the american idol, put down the mcdonalds, and stop worrying about all the brand names and useless crap they wanna buy 24/7 to even care about anything else. and on top of that, those who question their government and its actions are labelled unpatriotic and traitors. **** it all. nobody cares about social problems, they care about paris hilton abercrombie and the rims they can put on their cars. the world needs to end already so we can get this clusterfuck over with already.

look at that big thumbs down on the top of my post. that really just sums it all up.

If only you were a woman...I would be in love with you.

so thats it huh? just @#$% it then because no one cares?
Thats exactly the problem, and its WHY they pull so much crap, because none of you care enough to do anything about it. Its easy to make fun of anyone who tries to point out the pattern of abuse and failure, so you all have time for that, but openly lying, manipulating government officials and systems are just life and i should just shut up? we used to have a saying in the Navy, NO BALLS....i think it applies...

you would think on a martial art forum there would be people who studied history, and were aware of the world around them. I guess not, perhaps the warrior culture truly is dead, people fighting for titles and money and fame have forgotten the arts were devised for self defense not as money making opportunities and a hobby. Well your children are going to inherit the world you leave them...hopefully one day they look you in the eye and ask why you let it happen, its been going on but to deny the problem has snowballed is self delusion...

"Reckless NJ Police Convoy Escapes VA Justice
New Jersey police are outraged at being stopped for driving recklessly through Virginia, even though they were not ticketed.

Deputy Michael RoaneNew Jersey police officers are furious that a Virginia sheriff's deputy asked them to obey the traffic law in Virginia. On September 18, a speeding convoy of Passaic County, New Jersey police officers barrelled through Interstate 81 in Virginia with their emergency lights blazing -- but there was no emergency. The officers were just in a hurry to get home after service in the gulf region.

Clocked at 95 MPH in the 65 MPH zone, the convoy of about a dozen vehicles was asked to pull over by Augusta County, Virginia Sheriff's Deputy Michael Roane. Six of the New Jersey police sped away without stopping."

check out the attitude of the sherrif in this phone call to complain his officers were stopped
...........................................................................

"Speziale: Here's my problem - we got guys coming back from New Orleans so that we can get another deployment down, and I get a call from some trooper calling the Wayne Police Department threatening to arrest our people. You know what? It's a disgrace and I don't know who your sheriff is, but I plan to find out who he is and speak to him. It's a disgrace. If you think that that's not a disgrace you should take the badge off your shirt and throw it in the garbage. That's what I got to tell you. OK?

Roane: Well ?

Speziale: You don't want to talk to me. Listen, pal, you don't want to talk to me. You don't want to explain no circumstances to me. We just had guys down there for the last 14 days [unintelligible] helping our brothers in blue. You know what? You need to get off of that highway, pal, and wake up and learn what law enforcement is all about - supporting each other. OK?

Roane: Well, would you like to hear our side of it?

Speziale: I don't really want to hear your side of the story. I don't care what your side of the story is. I already got my side from my guys and all I can tell you is, I'll deal with your sheriff if he wants to call me and I'll deal with the state police colonel, who I'm going to see in Miami next week [for the International Association of Chiefs of Police convention].

This is unacceptable, and I'll tell you what, I hope I get the opportunity to show you the same courtesy up here in New Jersey.

And I'm going to tell your sheriff at the National Sheriffs' Association, and I'm going to tell the National Sheriffs' Association because there's no room for people like you in law enforcement, OK? So, you don't want my opinion, OK? Now, go back out [unintelligible] and look for speeders."
..................................................................

HMMM i guess police work really is about protecting and serving....... other cops...
you can hear the contempt in his voice when he says go out and catch some speeders...asshole
