...So for Pace, it was only natural that Clinton, now a U.S. senator from New York, received the first Maxine Postal Award for Humanitarianism yesterday before about 250 people at the Babylon Town Hall Annex on Phelps Lane.

"It is extremely fitting that Hillary Clinton was the recipient of the award because Maxine fought for women, spoke up for people who couldn't speak for themselves, and Hillary does the same thing," said Pace, 62, of West Islip.

..."As long as I'm in the Senate, I'll do everything I can to provide grants to figure out what causes this disease," said Clinton, who also attended an arts education program at the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington late yesterday afternoon.

I know what vegetarians eat. What do humanitarians eat?

[Toddsterpatriot]

isn't being human a requirement

My thoughts exactly.

[laylauneok]

I cannot believe this woman. Hillary is the most vile, lying woman ever to set foot in the WH. I hope she loses what's left of her sanity and Bill has her committed.

[Spruce]

The only way Hillery could be a humanitarian would be to just shut up and retire from public life.

"I know what vegetarians eat. What do humanitarians eat?

Canadian pork?

[texasflower]

My thoughts as well.

[boomop1]

Humanitarian to the rich and leech to the rest of us.

"Babylon Town Hall"

Think of Biblical references to Babylon in connection with Hitlery.

[Just mythoughts]

"Queen of Babylon" comes to mind.

[The Wizard]

don't you have to be a human to get a humanitarian award

[Ladysmith]

Exactly what I thought.

[ChadGore]

[An.American.Expatriate]

..."As long as I'm in the Senate, I'll do everything I can to provide grants to figure out what causes this disease," said Clinton.

Of course, you will NEVER see her say that she will provide HER MONEY to help, only yours.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I guess I just don't get it but I can't see anything but evil in that woman.

ABOUT CJD

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Introduction

Prion diseases are a group of rare, invariably fatal brain disorders which occur both in humans and certain animals. They first came to public attention in the mid 1980s in the form of the BSE epidemic in the United Kingdom. BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy) is a prion disease in cattle. Tissue from infected animals may have contaminated cattle feed, leading to the silent spread of the BSE epidemic. There is also a theory that BSE came from feed contaminated with scrapie, the long established sheep prion disease. Inevitably, concern over whether BSE could pass to humans mounted.

In humans the best known of the prion diseases is Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), which reportedly affects around one person per million per year. In the United States this translates to 250-300 new cases per year. It is well known that CJD is very difficult to diagnose leading to speculation that the one case per million report may be incorrect. Most of the cases are "classical" or "sporadic" CJD (sCJD), occurring for no, as yet, known reason. The sporadic form accounts for approximately 85% of the cases, the familial form approximately 15%. There have also been a few cases which have occurred from contamination via medical procedures; this type is known as iatrogenic or Acquired CJD. Finally over the last few years, another type of Acquired CJD called variant (vCJD) has been identified in young people. vCJD has been linked to ingestion of beef tainted with BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy), most cases have occurred in the United Kingdom.

"Queen of Babylon" comes to mind.

Actually I think it's "Whore of Babylon".....

[Just mythoughts]

I was trying to be nice, but you are correct, they actually are one and the same.

It's the "system" of government spoken of here that religion of OLD that knowledge of "good" and "evil" makes one a "god".

Its their religion, they worship the "state" cause as "gods" they give and take "rights".
