You want government to tell you what's going on militarily/and politically but don't want 'em to tell you how to stay healthy. Why?
Hello there Rosie
I am not sure I want them to tell what they are doing militarily.
There are some things the public doesn't need to know. I am shocked and disturbed that this admin., or any admin. for that matter would give sensitive info to the press and to Hollywood, as they just did concerning the killing of Bin Laden.
That said, the government can suggest all they want when it comes to...

Hello there Rosie
it is we who are obsolete. Our obslescence was born from our gullibility.
We were led to the cliff with promises of change.
We have installed as our guards the corrupt and tyranical, the power hungry. they are following through with their goals of grabbing even more power.
For every step they take up the ladder of power, we take a step down the ladder of liberty.

Why is Obama concerned over a companies 2 billion dollar loss when the national debt increases 3.95 billion a day ?
Everything Obama does, from the gay marriage thing to this is a distraction. He is trying to keep issues HE wants in the forefront. He thinks that by putting out these red herrings no one will pay attention to the dismal economIc figures. Who cares about record unemployment when Obama is for gay marriage. Who cares about stagnant growth when a bank loses money and he shows outrage....So who is...

The ten Republican candidates go out to lunch. Afterward they each put in $20 for the bill, but it's $20 short. Who didn't pay?
well..All of them. They each owed $22.00 but only paid $20.00..
Now here is how it would be if a democrat divided the bill.
Mr. Dem finds out how much each of them makes. The 5 who have the lowest salaries pay nothing. Those with the 3rd and 4th highest salary each paid $25.00 and $20.00 respectively, the second highest earner paid $50.00 and the richest guy paid $125.00........sounds fair

I dont know if it is the rarest, but "lucy", george Harrisons Les Paul might be the most valuable.

It all depends on the color, the condition and the year made.

But simply ousting Obama isn't gonna do it. It may be a good start but there are so many others that stand in the way of economic prosperity.

Does it surprise you that MSNBC liberal hack Chris Matthews let slip that he considered West Point "the enemy camp" when commenting on Obama's speach?
Hey there Cowboy..
I am Not surprised he would say something so blatantly
ridiculous. This is the same Chris Matthews who gets a "Thrill up his leg" whenever he hears Obama speak.
So now West Point military Academy is the enemy. Well maybe Obama should have diven his speech at ...uh... an ACORN office,...or better yet maybe at Gitmo...

such CVDs, diabetes, cancers, obesity and respiratory diseases. So 560...

Since education is very important why is it that the public school systems seem to get budget cuts first?
Most public school systems are very well funded, they just waste all that money, so when local or state governments need more of your hard earned tax dollars for some pay-off or union deal, they go straight to the school system cuts to garner sympathy and public outcry for the need for more funding..Brilliant.

Is there an underwater building anywhere in the world, like a hotel or other type?
Hello Marguerite. There is one off of Fiji. It is called the "Poseidon Undersea Resort". I read about this last year. I do not think it has opened or if it will. It is made up of pod like structures that are joined by a central hall and public areas at each end. It will be 40 feet under water...I will see if I can find a link for you....

Was Eero Saarinen as popular as Frank Lloyd Wright, as an architect?
Hello Marguerite.
I think Frank Lloyd Wright enjoys a more common familiarity, most have heard of him. However more have probably seen Saarinen's work without realizing who he is. Most have seen the Gateway Arch, many have seen the TWA terminal. While both were incredibly influential and their works ranged from chairs to churches and beyond, there were some dramatic differences. I think...

How did Donald Judd use architecture with artistic techniques, such as the concepts of light, space, and materials in his minimalistic sculptures?
Hello Marguerite.
Very good question. I am "minimally" familiar with his work. I agree completely with his conception of bringing Art into Architecture. I think he used architecture in his sculpture by defining the entire space. Taking sculpture off the pedestal. He used all these elements to tie his work together. Think of a colonnade. Each element was a pillar in the colonnade,...

Is architecture considered an art or a science?
Hello Marguerite.
It is both. However I believe that the best are artists first. While you must know the science involved in constructing a building, you must be able to conceive the idea, then you have to be able to create something tangible from that idea. It IS interpretation, open to one's likes and dislikes, style. There are actually two different sciences. First the engineering...
