I'm guessing if you were a business and you were given assurances that disturbances wouldn't happen, and then they did, and it cost you millions of dollars, you'd want to be taken care of too. I haven't exactly seen this story anywhere else.

I just think its interesting is all. Read the story. They are suing the German government because they were given assurances that the airport would not be completely shut down days before the visit. It was only at the time of the visit did the story change.

I just hope he smokes again.

So you don't think a government which regulates pollutants in the air shouldn't offer incentives to buy cars that get better fuel efficiency? How about just rolling back the tax incentives that many people get to buy SUVs?

Funny how it works like that, eh?

Best blown interviews: Got an interview to do news/sidekick for a Contemporary Christian morning show. Actually was looking forward to the challenge of doing great radio in a "different" setting. Til I walked in the studio. I knew I didn't want that job so I blew it on purpose... so I was honest about my views on the state of radio, and in particular CCM stations. They didn't pick me up. My last job, I took one look at the town and didn't really want to work there either, the owner's wife tagged along for the interview and I got into an argument with her over radio philosophy, was a little out of it and made some stupid observation about the University randomly probably while she was saying something or other. The Program Director offered me the job two days later.

Already worked for em once. At least with that company, you know your check will clear. There have been a couple places where "the mad dash to the bank" starts as soon as the checks are issued.

Hey, if you can get me a radio gig, I might consider it. As long as you can deal with a guy with hungarian pop art political posters from the late 80s and has a tendency to let his mail pile up for upwards of three days!

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 10:29 AM) how about educate people about 401ks and IRAs? and NOT depend on the Fed to take care of us when we retire? This assumes that every American has the ability to save enough in their 401Ks and IRAs to cover those who retire.

If by all white, you mean a third minority (3 hispanic, 1 asian), you'd be correct.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) I do not believe this necessarily supports your argument. It could also be said that a responsible government establishes laws that responsible citizens follow until the laws are changed, if ever. By extension, equal rights do not extend to someone who is violating a law, for example. Also we have different laws for different people, and we accept those without hesitation. Cannot drink until 18 or 21. Cannot drive a car until you are 16. Cannot become President unless you are native born American. You and Steff can walk topless down Main street, but ChiSoxyGirl cannot. Men and women with different rights. There is no constitutional right to drink, smoke or drive. There is no constitutional right to become President. Citizens have a right to participate in government, that doesn't mean that every position is or should be open to every person. There is no constitutional right to go topless - and toplessness is something that is regulated at the local, not federal level. So, in some places, it is totally legal for Steff and ChiSoxyGirl to go topless. And in many cases, encouraged. Governments offer specific rights, benefits and responsibilities for heterosexual married couples, they refuse to offer the same rights, benefits and responsibilities for same sex couples who wish to enter the same covenant. For no reason other than being two males. Or females. And for the record, I also support a lowering of the drinking age, and the right of toplessness for people worldwide.
