I’m curious to see if commentators on Y!A Politics actually know what socialism really is since it is getting tossed around so much. It’s a wheat/chaff thing.

Socialism is control and ownership of production/administration of business.

Oct. 20 (Bloomberg) — Nevada would get help with its Medicaid bills. The elderly in Florida and New York would receive additional Medicare benefits. And workers in so-called high-risk professions such as firefighting and construction would get a break on a new insurance tax.

Those are provisions that Senate Democrats, including Majority Leader Harry Reid, put in an $829 billion health-care bill to shield constituents from measures intended to pay for the biggest overhaul of the medical system in four decades.

The result is the new policies may be unevenly administered, with some U.S. states getting preferential treatment, a possibility that has given Republican lawmakers ammunition to attack the legislation.

Is he trying to get re-elected?

Gary asked:


We run a small construction company and do a lot of work for insurance company’s, for example. If the clients house gets damaged either for fire or vandalism we send out our builders to access the damage and they video the damage as well. This is where the problem appears the videos are too large they range from 10m all the way up to 50g, so we then compress the video files. This leads to poor sound quality and jump and starting play back, no good. How can we create a report for the clients and have a movie playback for them with the appropriate footage and not take ages to download.?
Can we build our reports in word and insert the movies and then send to the client? As there is a option to create a web page in office but I would have no idea on where to go from there, so if any one has some tips please help.

do I need to edit ?

Elisa O asked:


I have volunteered to take care of children at school meetings, preschool, after-school programs and at the children’s ministry. I have experienced the joy of working with children and learning about them as I volunteer. Teachers, as well as parents, suggest that I go into the field of education. I have, in fact considered a career in education as a preschool teacher. The duties of a preschool teacher include introducing three to six year old children to school. A preschool teacher has a college education, training, and has many duties, and responsibilities. They have a great work environment and a good salary with benefits.
First, preschool teachers require a Certificate of Achievement in Child Development including study in psychology, and training in helping children and families cope with crisis. Communication skills and learning about issues affecting families and children are necessary, but training starts when seeking work as a teacher’s aide. Training to be a preschool teacher will depend on the level of schooling required. This varies by the degrees offered, such as: certificates or an associate degree, all requiring fees ranging from $780 full-time to $26 per unit part-time.
Secondly, Preschool teachers have many duties and responsibilities in regards to their work environment. Preschool teachers provide activities to stimulate children’s growth in language, social, and motor sills, such as: learning to listen to instruction, playing with others, and using play equipment. A typical day in a preschool is filled with arts and crafts, music, language and numbers games, and various other fun things. Construction paper shapes and free play help children develop social skills. Every activity gives children an opportunity to learn.
Thirdly, the salary for a preschool teacher depends on experience, level of education, and the school and center where the teacher works. Salaries range from about $2,800 per month to $34,700 per year. Public schools usually have benefits, insurance and retirement. The rewards are priceless, because children’s smiles and hugs pay off any job that one has a passion for.
In summary, I will keep volunteering at church with the children’s ministry and take all the courses in early childhood at my local community college to receive a Certificate of Achievement as a Child Development teacher, as well as the required classes for an Associates Degree. It will require at least 12 units to get my teaching licenses through these programs. But once I am finished, I can start my career as a preschool teacher.

What is the ultimate absurdity of the 9/11 Conspiracy Theories? To believe it you have to believe?

November 23rd, 2009
thenextJFKfromMA asked:


-The Bush Administration, who failed at everything they ever did. Yet all of them and the people below are helping him cover up the largest mass murder in US history… Some of them like Richard Clarke and Paul O’Neil have come out for less.

-The NYC Fire fighters who know more about building collapses than most, if not all, of them. It’s their LIFE to know. Literally! Yet they don’t call for an investigation into the MASS MURDER of over 300 of their brothers… Why? (The twisting of these peoples’ statements for donations and DVD sales sickens me.) We have uncovered the myth about a *** order imposed on all fire fighters. Only 9/11 conspiracy sites say this. ONE person who sued Bush for not taking action before the event is ordered by the court not to speak to the media about the case. This is not imposing a *** order on the whole fire department as some of these sites claim. They are lying to cover up this mass murder by the government or the building owner. Why? They don’t even know…

Conspiracy theorists bring up an article in Fire House magazine which says the fire department wanted to stop the steel from being sold in order to test the fire proofing and other non-bomb/controlled demolition related investigations. They twist the article’s context to make it seem like the firefighters questioned the idea that fire brought down the towers.

SubSection=DisplayPUBLICATION_ID=25ARTICLE_ID=130026

Many of these men and women come from the military, yet we are to believe they are so afraid they rather die in the government’s next mass murder than come out and expose this.

-The courts for imposing a *** order [SEE above]

-The NYC Police department who lost over 20 lives. They didn’t ask for an investigation. Motive? None…

-The NYC port Authority who lost personnel. Motive?

-All the people in the Pentagon who have not called for an investigation. Many who are liberal and centrist. They did or said nothing while people supposedly trucked in airplane parts to cover the crime. Why? Again, no answer…

-The more than 1,600 widows and widowers of 9/11 who would rather have investigations of the decisions which led to the terrorist getting away with this. They don’t want to waste time investigating the mass murder of their loved ones. Even the Jersey Girls. Why? They say it’s the money… [note: Whenever killing someone, pay off the relative. They won’t say anything.]

-The media (This one I almost believe) who doesn’t follow up on the biggest mass murder and conspiracy in American history. It seems no one wants a Nobel prize for journalism. Not only the American media but foreign press like the BBC and Al Jazeera. Why? No answer here either…

-The photographers from around the world who took pictures of the towers which clearly show bowing of the perimeter columns. These photos support the NIST hypothesis that the sagging trusses lead to the collapse. Some photos also show the core intact shortly after collapse which also not only support the NIST hypothesis but discredits the Controlled demolition account.

-Popular Mechanics who debunked these sites are also helping Bush commit the biggest mass murder in history.

http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html

-PBS Nova since they created a documentary explaining in detail how and why the buildings fell. None of it said bomb.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wtc/

-Everyone in the NIST who covers up the largest mass murder in US history. This independent organization doesn’t have a moral person in hundreds of employees because not one has come out exposing this so called Conspiracy. In fact, the hundreds of scientist who signed onto the report are willing to not only lie for Bush but cover up the largest mass murder in American history. Some suggest only a handful can do the job but that’s simply impossible. The team in charge of the computer modeling has to be in sync with the team of structural engineers and so on. There are hundreds involved in this investigation and every team has to work with other teams using the same evidence and specifications.

-NY Governor Pataki because he sold steel from the WTC for the construction of the USS New York. If the argument is the government sold the steel in order to cover up the crime then Pataki is one of the criminals.

-The NY city scrap yards because they also sold steel to China before all of it was tested. Bush would have needed to call them up and tell them to sell it before they could have investigated every beam. A task which would have taken years and years not to mention millions more. Ironically the republican Mayor Bloomberg could not be involved since he asked the scrap yards not to sell the steel on behalf of the firefighters.

-EVERY STRUCTURAL ENGINEER IN THE WORLD who doesn’t write a paper for a mainstream peer reviewed journal saying the towers were brought down and could not have fallen due to fire. If laymen can prove things just by looking at videos and reading interviews out of context, then all those structural engineers MUST be working for Bush right? Even the ones in other countries. Why? The answer they give is that the engineers don’t know about Jones’ work. So in all this time no one has e-mailed Jones’ work to any structural engineer?

-The liberals who don’t believe the towers were brought down. (Like me) They’re helping a neo-con cover-up the largest mass murder in this nation’s history. Why? No clue…

-The CIA

-The FBI

-FEMA

-The American Society of Civil Engineers who have produced peer reviewed papers showing how what Conspiracy Theorists say is impossible is possible.

-NORAD

-The FAA who saw planes which conspiracy theorists never existed.

-The Silverstein Group who they say got together with Bush to blow up the building for insurance money.

-Silverstein’s Insurance Company who didn’t question the collapse and paid out over 2 billion to Silverstein. Why? Conspiracy Theorists say the insurance company just wants to pass on the bill to the public but they already fought Silverstein in a number of law suits concerning the amount.

-American Airlines (Pentagon)

-United Airlines (Pentagon)

-Logan, Newark and Dulles Airport for losing the planes

-Scientists and engineers who developed the remote control plane technology

-Installers of the remote control devices in the planes (Pentagon)

-Remote controllers of the planes (Pentagon)

-Scientists and engineers who developed the new demolition technology and carried out practical tests and computer models to make sure it would work.

-Installers of the demolitions devices in the three buildings

-People who worked at the company(s) the installers used as cover

-Airphone etc employees who said they got calls from passengers (Pentagon)

-Faux friends and relatives of the faux passengers or just the faux relatives who claim to have been called by their loved ones or just the psyops who fooled relatives into thinking they really were their loved ones. (Pentagon)

-People who detonated the buildings

-anyone who thinks the conspiracy is a diversion to take liberal activist focus off of real crimes.

Even conspiracies with a few people are doomed. Look at Enron and Watergate. The more people you involve, the more likely the conspiracy will fall apart. The amount of people needed for this conspiracy could fill one of the towers. It’s absurd to think this many people could keep a mass murder for Bush secret for this long. Absurd…

Cjvach: You post appears to more of an advertisement for the 9/11 Truth movement than an honest effort to get at the truth. Citing conspiracy theory sites as sources is not only inadequate, it is positively laughable. And in doing so, you, like most believers use inuendo, implication and disclaimers to support your conspiracy.

If you want to have an honest debate, great. But an honest debate is based on fact, supported by credible sources.

Racism in Orange County in the Dental Practices?

November 22nd, 2009
resourcescapital asked:


I’d visit a dental office located in Laguna Niguel www.aestheticdentaldesigns.net called the office and explained to the office personal that I was just released from the Mission Hospital ER and I was suffering from servere tooth pain and was told that I needed a root canal from the ER Physician. I asked the receptionist over the phone if the dentist specialized in root canals and the office gal put me on hold, came back to the phone and stated yes that they specialized treating patients with root canals, she went on to say, if this is an emergency that I can be seen the same day.
When I arrived to the Dental office, the appearance of the office looked very exotic with a fancy construction build out something that reminded of a Star Trek movie. I’d notice the Dentist running around in the hall way making copies of documents while I was being entertained by his staff. I was called into a room 20 minutes from waiting in the lobby for X-rays. The technician asked where was I experiencing the most pain and she took X-rays of just three teeth and not the full mouth.
Within 35 minutes, the second gal who was the receptionist walked into the room. Before any treatments or X-ray explanations she begins a sentence with “She did not know what I could afford?” Apprehensively , she begin explaining the findings of the X-ray taken of the three teeth, however I could not understand what she was trying to convey because of her lack of experience reading X-rays. After not understanding the receptionist I’d demanded to speak to the dentist. The dentist finally walked into the room 25 minutes later with a nasty deposition and handed me a flyer of an African American boy who died of rotten teeth. I begin asking questions about the findings of the X-rays, and the dentist responded with a nasty smirk; his actions gave an impression as if he didn’t want to treat, or touch an African American.
He went on to explain the X-rays, and suggested that I should seek another dentist for general treatments and recommended that I should see a dentist that specialized in root canals. I’d asked the dentist for a prescription for pain the dentist in return begins to ask allot of unusual questions as if I was a street person who was a drug user. He hesitated to write the prescriptions and stated that he doesn’t get involved with giving patient prescriptions to medications. He continued to push the flyer in my face of the African American boy who died of rotten teeth because his mother could not afford dental insurance. The dentist went on to say that I would need a crown after the root canal and can be seen by any dentist! I begin asking the dentist about his fees concerning crowns, the dentist assumed because I was African American that I could not afford his dental services and printed an extra nominal fee of $2,200 per crown. His office charged me a consulting fee, close to $200 bucks for No treatment and phony Xrays.
