For quite some time, we were active in the local Tea Party. One of the regular attendees was an African-American lady Democrat who shared more core values with the rest of us than one might think. Founding principles, less government, balanced budgets, etc. She was particularly interested in...

My wife is a quadriplegic with SMA. My daughter was a preemie and for a time they thought she had megalencephaly so she was tested extensively for the first few years of her life. (She's fine). Not trying to out-do your friends, just saying that in my own micro-sampling of the healthcare system...

My point was (and I'm sure you know it) that you were making it out like the rule, rather than the exception. A common occurrence. Regardless of the sampling size, my real-life experience, almost two decases' worth - and of every person I know or work with - doesn't demonstrate your assertion to...

And just because there are "numerous cases" doesn't mean it's reasonable to worry that "an army of claims investigators would tear through my records to find a way to rescind my insurance, for example." There are numerous documented cases of hurricane deaths too. That doesn't mean it's a...

And you call the right alarmist.. I have worked in the United States for over 15 years, in 2 states and have had probably at least a dozen different insurance companies. That has never happened to me, or anyone I know.

Am taking a leadership class at Northern Arizona University right now. The course materials refer to this as the "Cowardice of Silence". I like that it is recognized.

I've been around for some interesting events as well. Probably most notable was when the M109 next to me fired at loading angle; the projectile detonated a few hundred metres in front of the gun position.

Thanks petard - I figured you'd be the one to comr along and solve the riddle

Are they measuring muzzle velocity? Blast? Smoke volume? http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu335/sgtstrykerusmc43/howitzer.jpg

So that company sells those, you bought it and now will give it away? So if your livelihood depended on you selling a product or service, you would be OK with one person buying it and giving it away to everyone? Better check the Terms and Conditions in regards to what you bought, along with...

You were convicted, though - correct? If you couldn't make the California legal system see "the real story", how do you intend to do any better with the members at Army.ca?

Actually, I saw that term used previous to Palin using it, in the context of this particular event. It started popping up on Sunday/Monday. That probably doesn't change your opinion of her use of it, or making it more mainstream, but I don't think she gets credit for coming up with the term...
