I think its a missed chance to do a proper health-care reform. It leaves large space for corruption which might eventually cause the average American to loose his health care again because it will be unaffordable.

The way some companies lobbied and got what they wanted is outrageous. What strikes me most is the lack of logic and consistency in what forms of health care you can benefit from. There are over expensive treatments that are paid back while for one such treatment 1000 could have been saved for the same money.

Obama failed to do something good here. Better have no health care as this is m.o.

Maybe I should do drugs after all. I'll never get busted and it seems like everyone in my environment is using it.

Its this stupid "look at me" attitude that makes all these people post there private things online. Well of course it is dangerous. Ask somebody who lived in the soviet union how important information is.

What happens when the average Chinese gets a whole lot richer? Chinese labor won't be as cheap and internal demand will rise. This means an interesting market for the EU or US. This scenario of course does not take into account a resource/energy supply shortage.

It is the bad side of our election system to have short term visions and high debts. I don't know any solution for that. Then again I don't see any other system that functions as good as this type of "democracy".

Obama does not posses this either. He spends money of American citizens. And they don't posses it either. They have to pay it back.

oCama bIn lAden? Now I see, its all conspiracy! How very stupid of me I can see it only now.

On a more serious note: The CIA (like most intelligence agencies) capabilities are still overrated by many people. It is possible, but highly unlikely i.m.o.

Flying a plain in a building requires no real intelligence and difficult planning, despite what people might claim about it. Doing so without leaving traces is something entirely different. So my best bet would still be AQ.

I agree with both with xeno and death. Gov doesn't function very well because of human nature. And unfortunately I have to agree 100% with xeno's theory.

Most of the fremen fam quit the game for another. One or another shooter. Can't really remember. It were nice times, but it took to much of my time.

@chris:
For all clarity, Gurney does not refer to:

but to a character of Dune:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_Halleck

We were a fam ages ago with the fremen theme. My name -contrary to popular believe- does not refer to a body part.

@morbo:
the answer is: yes. Because of the impact it would have on public opinion. Would it matter for any strategic reason? Except for public opinion that would be a no. It is very stupid to think that killing BL would stop terrorism. In fact I believe it would make a martyr of him. Giving a mental retard a mythical status. Happened so many times before.
