"I would agree with you on that statement, BUT I fear that we have a VERY difference in ideas why and how that has happened. I know that the "professional care-givers" milk a faulty system."
Thatt is a part of the problem, but so are Hospitals(HMO owned) who cancel staff to save money, refuse to use registry when warranted(again-money)and don't want to spend money on recruiting.
BACK ON TOPIC: The Hollywood OSCAR Rally was informative and made people think about Hollywood's liberal leanings.
Hi Heels intelligently wrote- We may not agree on everything Mr. Arnold does, but that wasn't the point. The point was that the aircraft overhead at the freep was unlikely piloted by conservatives. And that there was an actor (Ronald Reagan) of some political clout.
'Nuff said. Bingo!
Dear Whoopie: Please send more chocolate. And here's some ice to put on that owie.

Here is an e-mail that I received last night from Captain Mike [US Army, Special Forces] -- who is reporting in, from the front lines in IRAQ:
Well, it's early morning here and we are headed east. We have taken some light casualties but for the most part we are combat effective. The young boy was waiting at the airport when we got back and took myself and my senior staff to his folks house for dinner.-- snip --I am seeing signs of a stabilizing electric grid and consumer goods are starting to come in. Of course I am certain that none of this is reaching you folks. The tangos are getting desperate and are running scared.
We are still subject to daily shellings from mortars and RPGs. However, organized attacks against American troops are down but they continue to kill the locals in large numbers and are targeting foreign reporters.
I hope you and yours are healthy and doing well.
Please forward this to the FREEPers.
Sincerely,
Socomofficer
Please show Captain Mike [and his men, who will soon be reading THIS THREAD]...
