Williams speech/Alton/Philando/Dallas shootings
....lybob replied to Maury Ballstein's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I lived between East Delavan and Genesee for four years and in those four years I experienced around 20 police check stops compared to 2 during my previous 27 years of driving and living in Riverside, North Buffalo, and Amherst and 1 post during the 6 years I've been living in sticks- The most annoying is when I had to go through the same check point twice because I had to return to the school I was working at for parents conferences. -

This is absolutely true at least in Buffalo. -
What's your personal line on Islamist Terror?
....lybob replied to OCinBuffalo's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Hey, we agree on something, nicely written. -
From what I've been reading Erdoğan has been purging the army and other centers of power for years and the coup was a last desperate act to reverse things which is why it failed as they were already so weakened - plus the reasonable secular are always at a disadvantage against fanatics who don't mind either killing or dying.

True but since when have we've used logic and math when we allocate resources against what scares us In the U.S. – You are 35,079 times more likely to die from heart disease than from a terrorist attack – You are 33,842 times more likely to die from cancer than from a terrorist attack - You are 23,528 times more likely to die from obesity than from a terrorist attack - Medical errors, smoking, driving, (depression leading to suicide) are thousands of times more likely to kill you than a terrorist attack - unsafe sex, falls, work place accidents, and nutritional deficiencies are hundreds of times more likely to kill you than a terrorist attack - lightning, dogs, deer, Bees , brain-parasite are all more likely to kill you than a terrorist attack - being crushed by your own furniture is equal to terrorism in being a cause for your death it is estimated that the number of deaths resulting from people opting to drive rather than flying because of post 9/11 airport inconvenience is greater than lives saved due to increased airport security. -

A Look Back at the Stevie Johnson Trade
....lybob replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Groin injuries took away his explosive change of direction which was his best attribute, I think it was a decent trade if you don't think SJ was going to return to form - I'm always of a mixed mind when players continue playing injured, I have to wonder how much additional damage SJ did to himself hobbling around the field in a brave but futile attempt to keep the Bills going. -

There are 90+ million owned cats in the US and another 70-80 million feral cats in the US so just the feral cats killing 20 a year could get you 1.4 billion - our cats have always be strictly indoor cats but our neighbors have two outdoor cats and they love to leave dead birds on their door stoop, probably in a form of homage. -

http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/23/travel/boeing-biofuel/ only in the strange conservative mind is the effort to reduce CO2 emissions synonymous with returning to a primitive subsistence level of existence -

EU politicians "hey great idea it will cost 80 billion Euros to start" The people of the EU " OK will Germany pony up 78 billion and America the other 2? no? OK never mind"

Make the right of collective bargaining, work place safety, and environmental protection as an important part of trade agreements as protection for intellectual property and in which courts disputes will be settled. not giving tax breaks to off-shoring companies in short make it somewhat less desirable to off-shore - btw maybe if these third-world workers were paid a little better we'd have better global GDP growth and wouldn't have bizarre low to negative interest rates sucking the life out pensioners and adding another layer to a disgruntled group that may soon become an angry unthinking mob that will upend many apple-carts. Some people think FDR brought socialism to America but what he really did was save capitalism, capitalism as practiced today is not working for a large swath of people and either it will get fixed by thoughtful people at the top or it will be changed by angry people from the bottom.

neo-liberal economics has nothing to do with American political liberalism "a modern politico-economic theory favouring free trade, privatization, minimal government intervention in business, reduced public expenditure on social services, etc"
-
A rough equalization of wages between third world wages and first world wages has always been part of neo-liberal economics but not a part of globalization that has been widely proclaimed to the working class in the first world - usually our trade deals come with propaganda that says yes we will lose some low paying jobs but we will be replacing them with higher paying jobs, sadly these higher paying jobs have never materialized in numbers that can maintain our middle-class - hey Magox many people are doing worse than their parents and they are pissed about it, why do you find that surprising? btw it's not just in America it's in the UK, France, Italy - you'd probably like to tell them "yeah globalization has sucked for you but the alternative is worse" and maybe that is true but the neo-liberal economists have lied to these people for 40 years so good luck getting them to believe you now.
