You are just going to have to think.
I quickly tire of talking to the wall.


I have lots of fun watching the world fall down.

      Of Top Hats, Top Kills and Bottom Feeders
      A point being hammered by supporters of OCS drilling is the crucial role this oil plays in the total U.S. supply. This is bogus. BP is a foreign-controlled, multi-national corporation. Not one drop of the oil taken from Deepwater Horizon necessarily enters the U.S. supply. It is taken to BP-owned refineries at Texas City and other locations and once refined, loaded and shipped to markets around the world. It is disingenuous to portray the oil taken by BP, or any of the multi-nationals, from the Gulf of Mexico as part of the U.S. domestic supply. The Niger delta has been turned into an environmental hell to satisfy the international market, without the finished product or the profits benefiting those paying the ultimate price. Now we're see the destruction of the Gulf of Mexico..., beaches, fisheries, spawning grounds of countless species... not to supply the U.S. with oil, but to supply BP with quarterly profits in the billions of dollars. This isn't GM in 1941, converting automobile production lines to produce tanks or Hughes Aircraft making fighters. BP (and Exxon and Conoco and Texaco and Halliburton and...) have no allegiance to any flag but their own.

    China's Health Costs Outstrip G.D.P. Growth - Room for Debate
    The seemingly universal health coverage in China actually disguises the still extremely low level of benefit that most people receive.

      "... Adam Nagourney of the New York Times: "From Los Angeles to Wall Street, from Denver to Boston, homeless men and women have joined the protesters in large numbers, or at least have settled in beside them for the night. While the economic deprivation they suffer might symbolize the grievance at the heart of this protest, they have come less for the cause than for what they almost invariably describe as an easier existence.... But their presence is posing a mounting quandary for protesters and the authorities, and divisions have arisen among protesters across the country about how much, if at all, to embrace the interlopers. The rising number of homeless, many of them suffering from mental disorders, has made it easier for Occupy’s opponents to belittle the movement as vagrant and lawless and has raised the pressure on municipal authorities to crack down." ...

       " New York Times: "European markets slid dramatically on Tuesday after Prime Minister George A. Papandreou stunned other European leaders with a surprise announcement late Monday that his government would hold a referendum on a new aid package for Greece. The proposed ballot will put Greek austerity measures — and potentially membership in the euro zone — to a popular vote for the first time....""

      "CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE (The Borowitz Report) – Rick Perry waded into the brouhaha over the sexual harassment charges against Republican presidential rival Herman Cain, telling reporters, “If it turns out he’s innocent, then he should be executed.”
      Noting that the case against Mr. Cain was far from airtight, Gov. Perry said, “In Texas we’ve fried men for less than that.”"
