Hey powerplay - Al Gore is irrelevant to Steve's discussion. Your attempt to sidetrack the discussion failed.

"Drivers slowed down to get a glimpse and paid less attention to the road than they did to the truck"

Yet, large bright LED signs that blink and flash their advertisements are okay.

"The commission should take action to ban vehicles like this before someone gets hurt."

Yes, if they also take action to ban other extreme distractions.

Since the distribution of the data is a probable federal crime (HIPAA violation) it would be good if the Sun could follow up and keep the pressure on. Whoever distributed the data to the lawyers probably did not do so as a favor - it was likely sold.

This is not "playing the race card". It is speaking the truth. How about some intellectual honesty among so-called conservatives?
1. If during the Bush administration, a Democratic congressman had shouted, "you lie!" at Bush, he would have been forcibly evicted right then and there.
2. If anyone had shown up with guns, to a Bush rally, they'd have been arrested. People wearing protest T-shirts WERE arrested.
3. Admit that the predominance of rage against Obama is because of race. I see it plainly. Others see it plainly. The so-called conservatives, in denial, do not see it.

Salazar's actions are appropriate. I wonder if the sun ever shines in Future's world under a Democratic administration.

The dishonesty of Mr. Jack's first paragraph renders the remainder of his letter not worth reading. It is well known that the orchestrated intimidation tactics are headed by someone who has been involved in the most massive medicare fraud ever, and paid a fine of more than 1 billion dollars.

You are known by the company you keep, and if Mr. Jack follows that leader, then he must idolize Bernie Madoff as an American hero.

Hey houstonjac, that is not "pushback by the american people". It is oraganized intimidation by a fraudster.
The rallying cry of those who are moneyed by the pharma/sickness industry is: "I've got mine - too bad about you suckers."

Health care is not just for the lucky or the wealthy.

When money speaks, truth is silent.

Mr. Pursley is simply parroting the tired old untruths about prospective health care. I wonder what his stake in the current sickness industry is. Those who would deny the rest of us a choice in the name of free-market enterprise, are themselves speaking against the very principles that they proclaim to follow.

The FDA supports big pharma. I think the FDA should be dismantled completely.
