I did not take time to catch up before posting. Again

does that happen to have any bearing on where the state is losing population?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Dec 24, 2010 -> 03:02 PM) Actually they were talking about splitting Pete Stark's district into a hispanic district in western Dallas County, which would go Democrat. I'm also almost positive they're going to break up the district I live in too - because it goes from Gainesville down to the loop around Ft. Worth. It covers a lot of real estate, not that is unusual in Texas but the population shift in my district has gone clear crazy in 10 years. I knew there was a second "Dem" district they were discussing. It seems almost certain the Rio Grande Valley or border area between Laredo and Eagle Pass will see a new District since that is where the population is growing the fastest. I guess the GOP in Texas won;t turn down the extra seats that immigration brings

News reports are predicting those seats will probably create two new GOP districts in the suburbs of Houston and Dallas and at least one Hispanic (Dem) district down here.

But when they run really fast, they look gray

Texas gaining seats can only help the Union.

It's hard to put the cat back in the bag, but if somehow SS could be the fall back, or second source of retirement income, I'd be more comfortable with a private option. It stopped being the "safety net" a long time ago for the majority of Americans.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 21, 2010 -> 09:14 AM) Organizations all over this country deal with relationships in the work place. The local Dunder-Mifflin office doesn't have to deal with the same issues soldiers in the field have to deal with. Perhaps only a small group of people believe a military unit in combat is different than organizations all over this country.

I never get tired of watching that replay

I considered it but for $500+ I decided against it. Technology changes, plus they want $75 every time I change radios. I went with the two year option.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 20, 2010 -> 04:57 PM) While it's worth noting that military personnel were polled and also gave that 70% number... If the military believed in 1948 that desegregation would diminish readiness and make a lot of soldiers uncomfortable, would you say that Truman made a mistake by desegregating it? The numbers I heard showed higher support the further from combat you were and reduced to less than 50% for units in combat.

Why don't men and women in the military share the same quarters? Won't every answer to that also apply to two gay men or women, or even more so, a gay couple serving in the same unit? I think these are some of the challenges that the military must prepare for, if that is possible.
