I realize that some supporters of Bush place him high up there and would take serious offence to things like my comparing him to Hitler. However, I would like to state again that Bush as a person is a very good person. He himself is very democratic, very open to criticism. On TV he came across as very genuine when he declared that those British crowds had a right to demonstrate, that he values freedom of speech more than facing criticism for his actions. Even the Dixie Chicks incident was something that he came across as very genuinely open to criticism. Sounds like you are transitioning to me. One day or paragraph the President is hitler...the next he is a nice guy. Now if you can get the rest of your leftist buddies to make that same transition, we can present the world with a unified front. BTW your earlier references to Hitler are nuts. Hitler attacked France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland, Denmark, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Russia, N. Africa, England, etc. These countries posed no threat to Germany and supported no one proposing to harm Germany.

I mentioned this in an earlier post. Ya gotta treat eating fresh veggies now like you are in Cancun, folks! MEDPUNDIT Importance of Clean: The recent Hepatitis A outbreak in Pennsylvania Chi-Chi restaurants was traced last week to green onions from Mexico. Similar outbreaks in North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia were also related to imported onions. And while a bankrupt Chi-Chi's is being sued, the Mexican farmers don't see it as a big deal: If it's the onions, why aren't people dying here? Everybody here eats them. There should be a ton of people sick here. They're the same onions,' he said. They aren't getting sick there because they're immune to the diseases that their water carries. We aren't: Dr. Mike Doyle, a microbiologist and director of the Center for Safety at the University of Georgia, agrees. 'There is a greater potential for contamination to occur in some developing countries where growing standards differ from U.S. standards,' Dr. Doyle said. 'One of the biggest problems is in the quality of the water used.' Dr. Tauxe of the Centers for Disease Control said: 'As far as I know there is not a mandatory requirement that water used to rinse or ice or wash vegetables be potable. There are guidelines recommending this, but in terms of fairness we don't require other countries to meet standards that aren't required in this country. Now that so much of our fresh fruit and vegetables are imported, we face the same risks at home that we usually only risk when travelling. So, what to do? Wash your fruits and vegetables carefully before eating them raw. Remember, the solution to pollution is dilution. The CDC has more prevention tips. posted by sydney smith on 11/24/2003 04:47:32 AM link medpundit.blogspot.com
