Not only is he tired of people like you, your answer indicates you might want to pay extra taxes maybe at the highest rate or higher because you like to share what you have made.

KEN...Get this information to your masters right away...you could earn yourself a few atta boys for this info. Hussein obama can be the first to blame all the problems on this. I'm sure in the end the Suns activity will be Bush's fault,,so go for it! Riots, wild markets: Did space storms drive us mad? By REUTERS 08/13/2011 jpost.com Rollercoaster financial markets, the worst riots the UK has seen in decades made it quite a week for a time of year that is usually dead. Everyone is pointing fingers -- at blundering politicians, hooded thugs, disaffected youths, bumbling police and greedy bankers -- but could the cause for all the madness really be the star at the center of our solar system? There isn't a lot of evidence pointing to little green men involving themselves in Earthly affairs, but the sun has been throwing bursts of highly charged particles into space in a phenomenon known as coronal mass ejections or CMEs. Three large CMEs prompted US government scientists to warn of solar storms that can cause power blackouts and the aurora borealis, or northern lights, caused by disturbances in the Earth's atmosphere, have been spotted as far south as England and Colorado, NASA said. "Earth's magnetic field is still reverberating from a CME strike on August 5th that sparked one of the strongest geomagnetic storms in years", website SpaceWeather said. Some academics have claimed that such geomagnetic storms can affect humans, altering moods and leading people into negative behavior through effects on their biochemistry. Some studies have found evidence that hospital admissions for depression rise during geomagnetic storms and that incidents of suicide increase. A 2003 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta found that such storms could affect the stock market, as traders were more likely to make pessimistic choices. "Unusually high levels of geomagnetic activity have a negative, statistically and economically significant effect on the following week's stock returns for all US stock market indices," the authors found in their report. It could of course be mere coincidence that this has been a rollercoaster week on the markets, and that Britain was rocked by a wave of ferocious rioting and looting. But market watchers may take comfort from the fact that the space weather forecast for Friday has gone quiet again. They shouldn't be too complacent though. The solar cycle is on an upswing due to peak in 2013 and there are likely to be more geomagnetic storms heading Earth's way in the months to come

Here's more of that Hope and Change for ya kennytroll. Makes ya proud, doesn't it? Can this FAILURE do anything right? Maybe another GRAND Cairo speech will do it, if he knocks the US again? Public opinion polls indicate that Egyptian approval of the United States has plummeted to 5 percent, lower than under President George W. Bush, Anti-Americanism is surging, and aid offers seen as political may be unwelcome as country recasts itself after uprising. Read more: stltoday.com

Ken Here is a legal question. The healthcare case will go to the Supreme Court. What happens if one of the justices rescues him or herself and we get a 4 to 4 decision? Does the ruling of the appeals court stand?
