The nation (all sectors) is increasingly short term in thought and action, at the cost of the long term. Caught up in the moment. When a politician claims they didn't think "more security" would create an Orwellian apparatus, I'm genuinely not surprised. Best intentions, and all that. A lot of these people aren't looking at the possible consequences years down the road, they're focused on the next election and their own careers.

Report: Nearly Half Of Detroiters Can’t Read:
"According to a new report, 47 percent of Detroiters are ”functionally illiterate.” The alarming new statistics were released by the Detroit Regional Workforce Fund on Wednesday. WWJ Newsradio 950 spoke with the Fund’s Director, Karen Tyler-Ruiz, who explained exactly what this means. “Not able to fill out basic forms, for getting a job — those types of basic everyday (things). Reading a prescription; what’s on the bottle, how many you should take… just your basic everyday tasks,” she said." See: http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2011/05/...ers-cant-read/ |

Jenny McCarthy to join the The View
This came out a few days ago, and I really wouldn't touch the show with a ten foot pole, but assuming this goes through and the show is actually that popular she and her new age medicine anti-vaccine ilk will have a bigger platform to spread discredited medical research. And kill more people along the way.

Has anyone ever told her that child vaccination is mandatory in much of Japan, and I assume a lot of modern Asian countries, and we don't really have higher percentage of autism problem? Heck they changed the vaccination from combined to individual (I got the combined since I got it in early 80s, before they discontinued) and it made not a lick of difference in autism rate.
Or is she completely deaf to anything not based on witch doctor voodoo.

And I have 1 for working at F&B, 1 for shipboarding, 1 for the jungle when I was in the army. And I don't think I am mentally retarded nor crazy in any form (other than dyslexia). So what is with her lack of acceptance at information?

The Unite States appear to be wiling to let the matter drop. It is technically an infringement, but not anything to be afraid of. So the only thing left is Panama's laws on what happens when people lie in their shipping manifest.

How that it's blown up in the news, how are they going to move it back to Cuba after it's 'repaired'? The more cynical part of me believes that US wants it to go through, so they can show satellite photos of missile parts being unloaded for more UN action |

Chances are Panama would actually confiscate the weapons and destroy them. Not because of UN regulations, but because NK broke Panama laws. They WERE smuggling, and there had to be consequences. Panama has a reputation to upkeep. Can't let anyone believe they would ignore smugglers in their canals.
