Single payer health plans coupled with getting the employer out of the loop would be a boon for small business. They could hire employees without having to worry about health benefits or whether their employees can afford to stay well.

Nice find. I had assumed Sandy counted for half a million or so potential voters, but the statistics were quite interesting (even if the formatting hurt ). |

Germany is already way ahead when it comes to implementing these technologies, such as what Bombardier Transportation had already displayed on a branch of the Augsburg tram network. In short, the same technologies that power your electric toothbrush, will now power your transportation needs. http://www.railwaygazette.com/news/u...a-success.html |

Currently the majority of our electricity is generated by power stations that run on fossil fuels. You can cut emissions from vehicles by switching to electricity, but you haven't removed the reliance on the finite and polluting resource of fossil fuel, only made it more efficient.

The fact is we are going to struggle to generate electricity sustainably for even current use, so if we are going to use electricity to replace petroleum as well, nuclear power would have to supplement the grid. I would be glad to be found wrong. But this is what I consider to be necessary in the medium term.

According to this blog site (that I've never heard of), hundreds of thousands of military absentee ballots made it in a day late, and if they were counted, it would have made Romney win. Is this true? Or was it concocted by some republican supporters?

Check out my edit. It is from a military humor site with humor in the manners of parody, satire, and faux news. Ha. I bet a bunch of people are freaking out over this fictitious news.

Especially since the research is leaning that the military rank and file voted mostly Obama. The GOP screwed that pooch with their crappy behavior towards veterans and the Veteran's Administration. More underfunding, then privatize and loot in store if they got their way.
