OK, maybe people agree with you, but how many different names and email addresses are you going to use to post the same stuff over and over? Stop spamming, will ya?

The comments I have read prove that people never learn that the Democrats are the biggest tax and spend party. You, the taxpayers who elected these people to office can now enjoy paying for the so called stimulus package which is a complete failure and a joke for the rest of your lives.

Its only going to get worse as the DEMOCRATS in the HOUSE and SENATE continue to LIE!!!!Buried in the HEALTHCARE REFORM BILL put together behind closed doors by HARRY REID and our beloved CHUCK SCHUMER shifts a family of four earnning $29,000.00 or less onto the states MEDICAID plan.This will increase TAXES for HOMEOWNERS as we now will be forced to cover people on what is a "public option". And they have the nerve to come out and say the bill saves taxpayers money over ten years, FUNNY MATH is all it is.I say we get rid of SCHUMER,GILLIBRAND and HIGGINS before its too late.

I also have been hearing about this stimulus payment. I am a single mother who works 40 hours a week. And yes I am on food stamps. I did get the stimulus for school. And it helped me out greatly when it came to the things my son needed for that. I think that you are wrong when you say that people on welfare are to lazy to work. I do agree that most are. but those of us that work our butts off still need some help and shouln't get persecuted for doing so. This stimulus would help me out greatly for my boys for christmas to make this a happy one for them. I do believe that the only people that are working full time jobs should get this. The people that are abusing the system really should get off their rears and find a job. But some of us do need some help once in a while.

Yeah there are lot of jobs in medical transcription find your school to get a degree in few months at http://bit.ly/5V4v8

The rule is "i before e except after c". It's spelled receive. When referring to people it's their not there.

It's obvious you are an ignorant bigot.

I agree thyats all I see in the stores grocery shopping and using benefits cards buying food I cant afford for my family and I bust my @$$ every day working. If I tried to scam the system id be in jail. I work with some of these guys with 3 girlfriends,10 kids, scamming and talking about how they send for relatives because New York gives away the farm.

The democrats have taxpayers right where they want them--OUTNUMBERED....It doesn't matter if voters 'wise up', There aren't enough of us to change this bankrupt Blue State.

To the lowlife thief that stole the magnetic US Navy decal from my car at Tops Plaza on friday.I am proud to be a Navy vet and not a scumbag like you.I'm sure you never served a day in the military.Just remember,"what goes around comes around" and if you know what karma means...you will get yours scumbag. Bill from Niagara Falls

WTF are you talking about? Why don't you care for whatever you are talking about, you think for yourselfer. Stop making everyone look like a cruel criminal, you weirdo.

You clearly have a GREAT passion for what your writting about. However don't you think we the readers have the right to know what we have wasted 30 sec. of our lives reading about?I mean really,clearly the passion was there but the thought not so much so!
So for real, throw us a bone!

Kudos to the members of the Depew Fire Dept’s West End Hose Company. I have been a life time resident of the village of Depew’s West End District. It has been a tradition since I’ve been a kid that Trick and Treating has been on beggar’s night. For the past 10 years these Volunteers have been set up on the corner of Barnabas & Madaline handing out Cider/Donuts & Candy to my kids as well as our neighbors. The smiles they put on these children’s faces are overwhelming. Once again, they have taken time out of their lives and being away from their families to give back to their community. These firefighters attract more than 1000 children and their families and I know this because I hand out that many pieces of candy. We, your neighbors appreciate all that you do & hope you continue in the future. Shame on You Mayor Alberti for taking this away from our community and getting involved w/ something that has nothing to do with you. What more are you going to ruin for our Village Residents ……. You’re an embarrassment to this village. Its time you step down. Election 2011 can’t come soon enough.

I think it's wonderful what all of you men and women are doing. You're all a great bunch of people and it's time the mayor opens the eyes because clearly the needs, wants & cares of the villagers is not a high priority.

Obviously the people who commented on this situation have no idea what they are talking about. I have lived in the village for over 45 years and the tradition is and always has been for residents to come to the fire halls for cider and doughtnuts. Fire trucks have never gone to certain parts of the village (because certain firemen live in these areas)to hand out candy, cider and doughtnuts. If this was for the good of the village why wasn't the neighborhoods rotated and every year a different neighborhood benefited? Because certain firemen think that they are above the rules and that they run the West End and can do what they feel like doing. I for one applaud the Mayor, these firemen need to be reined in as they are using tax payer money no matter how you look at it!

If you have lived in the Village for 45 yrs, it is obviously not on the west side portion of it. Those firefighters have provided the kids refreshments for almost 20 yrs. If you think that these firefighters do whatever they want to do, why dont you join that organization and put your money where your mouth is? Where do you get that the Fire Dept. wastes the taxpayer money? You are obviously mistaken! They continously train and respond to calls all hours of the day and night.. They are always looking for new members. Maybe you should see what it is like before you pass judgement!

You said it. I am proud that you spoke up. It is time to remind everyone what the Holiday is really about. With so much violence and worries in our daily lives, we need to refocus and bring God back into our lives, our work places, our country. Yes, ONE NATION UNDER GOD!! AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

This country is ass backwards! In Seattle they wanted to change the name of the city Christmas tree to the Holiday tree so no one got offended. What a joke! Since when did the minority rule over the majority! Christians get so much crap but god forbid we call a muslim terrorist what he is, which is a terrorist. We are so dame scared of our own shadow. PC crap must end or it will be the end of us!

Amen. It's pretty sad.

If Michael Vick gives the Bills a better chance to win than Trent Edwards, then by all means they should bring him in. No one cares if you ever attend another Bills game again, by the sounds of it the Bills and their real fans would be better off without you. Go be a Patriots fan you loser.

Ive been a bills fan for all of my life,seem to me if we keep getting these has been this team is going no where expect to canada?Is this a plore to get the hard working fans to quit going to games.this would give them a great reason to move the bills to Canada and thats not fair at all thats just my opoion.What ever happen I will stay true to buffalo as long as they stay

The person that wrote this steam is not the loser, the person that called him a loser is the real loser. If the Bills must hire criminals in order to dupe the loser sportsfans in this town, then we need to run Raphie boy and company out on a rail.

I know the Bills are desparate for players but must we dredge the slime?

...that's what all the politicians are. We need to vote every possible democrat out of office for the next few elections, then vote Omama out in 2012. In 4 years he will do irreparable damage to the US. If he gets 8 years there will be no more US.

Just because you want the police monitoring everything we do and I do not, does not make the post the "dumbest" you have ever read--is that how you justify it being dumb, simply because you dont agree with it--and is "dumb" the most articulate word you could conjur up to express your true passions of support for a heavy, yet imbalanced police presence within the town of Wheatfield?

Firstly, I never stated I was not guilty and I admit to the bad habit of removing my seat belt prior to arriving at my residence. That was never in doubt. My intention, which I could not make known due to limited space, was that every law, every single law, is open to interpretation. The reason being is that a situation can easily be conceived that makes any given law irrelevant or unnnecessary to be applied. This leaves the determination of applying particular laws, given the circumstances that be, to the officer on scene. For example, speeding is prohibited by law, but if I am racing to the hospital with an injured child I am not going to receive a ticket from an officer once he realizes the urgency of the situation. You see, the law is open to interpretation, and it applies to every law no matter the significance of the law broken.

Now seat belts--intended to save our lives, keep us protected and from bodily injury. If I remove my seat belt just before turning down a street with next to no traffic and hardly an 1/8th of a mile long, and at speeds that are so minor that death and injury statistics based on seat belt usage are not even kept, what danger am I putting myself in? What consequences am I going to potentially physically suffer due to removing my seat belt while traveling at such limited speeds? You see this law is also open to interpretation and in reality the law becomes irrelevant and obsolete when applying it provides no better safety, security, or well being and peace than not applying it. You tell me what advantage there was in applying the law? That is where officer sympathy and understanding, rationality comes into play. I understand the quotas, the no tolerance mentalities, perhaps he was compensating for a slow day and seeking any violation he could find, however penalizing me for breaking what amounts to a law that becomes irrelevant in its PURPOSE given the circumstances, is beyond my rationality were I to be in his position. Where would you draw the line? I cannot make that determination and have no right to, but based on your arguments, should someone then receive a ticket literally at the foot of their driveway if, for example, they removed their seat belt a mere 2 seconds before entering their driveway? To most that would seem entirely foolish and I would guarantee a news crew out their to cover and provide attention to such a proposterous and unnecessary ticket. When was the last time you saw a death or injury on this street due to a seat belt violation in the last 25 years that I can remember. Sure there is a first time for everything, but it seems their services could be put to better use than to wait every 25 years for that occurrence to happen on this area of Wheatfields least traveled back roads.

So you see, I sought some understanding from the officer. It was well within his capabilities to have a little compassion. And let me emphasize that my displeasure had absolutely nothing to do with the monetary price of the ticket--it is merely pennies from my perspective, but instead, it was more principle. How can I possess a faith in and cooperation with officers who consider the law to not include rational exceptions? It is officers with this mentality who are the most dangerous and apply a book and classroom to every situation, rather than realizing that every situation they encounter is unique and has it own set of circumstances to evaluate. In addition, they are patrolling areas that fail to make us any safer on the roads, but instead patrol areas where they can dispense the most tickets...and thats exactly what it is comparable to, a dispensing candy machine. Why dont they patrol the dangerous section of Niagara Falls Blvd in Wheatfield that has yet to be upgraded? Why dont they run radar on side streets where there are those kids wandering around that we all care about as you made mention of? Instead they sit on each end of Wheatfield as if no one entering into or exiting Wheatfield will get by them. County and town police would be perfectly fine, but if state troopers set up shop in Niagara Falls and North Tonawanda, not only could they issue numerous traffic tickets, but truly make us all much safer by apprehending the many more citizens with warrants, the much greater amounts of drugs and illegal substances that frequent those areas. Sure Wheatfield has its fair share as well, just look at JT Wheatfields, but troopers themselves are not doing much more of a service here in Wheatfield than issuing tickets. Kill two birds with one stone and clean up the surrounding towns please.

And finally, its obvious that running radar does not make any section of town any safer. If it did they would be issuing less and less tickets until everyone complied with traffic laws. That is not the case and for numerous months they have been pulling over drivers at close to the same frequency from what I have seen. It probably then makes perfect sense as to why they patrol certain areas and not others--again, its about the money, not so much about the safety. So the point I am making is that you can have police up and down the street you live on sir, but there will always be new, dangerous, unaware drivers, frequenting your street and violating traffic laws, no matter how many tickets are given out or how high the police presence. It does little to give the children a higher level of safety and protection--you can clean up crime but you cant clean up speeding. What is even more upsetting is that he was about to consider providing me permission to be on my way, but just couldnt bring himself to believe my reiteration that I was wearing my seatbelt up to just before the point of violation. If he doesnt trust me, how can I begin to offer my trust to him. They would have more respect if the respect were mutual.

Secondly, I agree wholeheartedly that police presence is somewhat a deterent to crime and traffic violations being committed; however, I dispute the need for such a heavy state trooper, govt funded and supported presence in Wheatfield, NY. In reality, the seatbelt law is a federal govt law instated by the states who are threatened by the govt to withdraw highway funding and benefits, amongst other perks, if the states dont stand up and follow suit according to what the federal govt would like to mandate to the states, but could not get away with. The federal govt cannot mandate seatbelt laws directly so they give incentives to the states to do it for them. If you see many of the same laws across most states its usually on account of the govts upper hand on the states and financial power over them. So you see, we are dollar figures. You are naive to believe NYS govt seat belt and speeding laws are in place because you are cared for--you are a dollar figure, a statistic and it all ties together, for the better the statistics the greater the dollar figure and reward. Every state similar to NY likes a good pat on the back from the federal govt. A perfect example is a sensible law considered by states to outlaw text messaging with cell phones while operating a vehicle. Great, get the state going on that and put it into immediate action. Yet, its the federal govt trying to mandate such a law over every state and every citizen, while Senator Chuck Schumer, threatens to cut off 25% of NYS highway funding if his state fails to sign on to this federally proposed law. I understand this is way off course, but do you want the federal govt telling you what to do in Wheatfield NY? If so, I am tempted to laugh hysterically due to your lack of understanding of those implications, but I am more inclined to feel sorry for you for agreeing with such government intervention. Again I will make mention of Thomas Jefferson who was entirely supportive of state rights and its individual destiny. "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." I suggest you take some time and read up on the history between state and federal govt to attain a more complete comprehension of the matter. Its not about the law being inappropriate, it never is and in fact the federal govt often has terrific ideas and policies in theory, but you do not want the highest level of govt dictating to citizens and town govts on the smallest level, what to do and how to live and what to abide by--that is best left to state and county govts. If they cared about you they would inconvenience us by making us wear helmets while driving--this would seriously cut down on deaths due to head injuries--just dont give the "we know best" federal govt any ideas.

In response to your comment that "most accidents happen close to home"....well I had a strong feeling someone would raise that argument...and from the moment I heard that statistic years previously, I immediately realized the obvious, that most people are involved in accidents close to home, considered within 10 miles, because THAT IS THE DISTANCE THAT MOST PEOPLE TYPICALLY TRAVEL FROM THEIR HOMES. A circumference of the distance 10 miles surrounding your residence is ALWAYS traveled whether you are coming or going...you spend most of your time driving within these distances, which is obviously why most accidents occur close to one's home. That is a very misleading statistic shared to make people believe that its more dangerous to drive around their homes than most other places. Not true. If people spend 90% of the time driving within 10 miles of their homes, its obvious that accidents within this proximity are going to be escalated.

In response to your comment about the slow speed at which I was traveling while removing my seat belt...consider the fact that coming West onto Kreuger rd, there is a stop sign at nearly every block which prevents excessive speeding for most casual drivers...it is only after Dimatteo Court heading West that speeding becomes the real issue. But if youd like Ill pick the speed up a bit and start whipping right through those stops signs--I mean, just so you arent the one that ends up "rear-ending" me as you say.

When the police tail aggressively tailgate you and follow you on your way to work during the middle of the night until you leave their town, when an officer pulls you over for no reason at all other than asking if he can search your vehicle as you are on your way home from work, and then allows you to leave without even searching the vehicle or issuing a ticket, when you are crossing the border and no less than 8 border patrol agents surround your vehicle with hands on their weapons ordering you out of the vehicle and apprehending you due to incorrect information, you come back to me and tell me if you still have the same blind and die-hard support for our prestigious law enforcement. Certainly we need them, but by no means are they deserving of my trust and admiration. Hopefully you have been enlightened and this post is not the "dumbest" you have yet seen.

Whoa, I cant read that much after all these beers, but whatever you say man, you got the support of me and the Highway Department!!!!!! Yeah!!!!

Steve. Whip off your skirt and pay your tickets you crybaby. next time wear your seatbelt and obey the speed limit.

Ho hum, I wish I weren't so persecuted all the time myself. "Dumb" is a simple term, easy to understand and I admit when I said it I was looking down at the author a bit. But it was short and to the point. If I had wanted to be particualrly articulite I could have said: idiotic, self-serving or rediculous.

I have complained to the town board in the past that we don't have enough police presence on Krueger. I used to ride my bike on the street 35 years ago and felt safe. Not any more. I lobbied for those pesky stop signs, and blew off steam when they were not enforced.

To claim "heavy, imbalance police prescence" is even dumber than complaining that you were caught breaking the law.

The rambling second post is without question the "dumbest".

Your last paragraph, however, is beyond dumb, its scary. I wave to the cops as they drive by and they wave back. I tell them "thanks for your service". just like I do to veterans. I treat them with respect and they return the favor. Even when I do get a ticket (1 in the last 45 years) I say Im sorry and "have a safe rest of your day". Where there's smoke there's fire. Aggressive tailing by police indicates that there is more to the story that meets the eye. So, I say, "drive safely and have a good day".

I feel any government official that brakes the law,be it non payment of taxes to DWIs should be held at a higher level of punishment, not that I feel that they are higher then the rest of us, but because they feel they are. Maybe we would get some people that care about society and not their own pockets to run for office. There is no wonder to many why votes for downsizing governments has become such a high priority as of late. less officals to misuse tax dollars as well as brake laws.

I 100% agree. How dare you think of something so stupid like that? I hope nobody responds to your house when it burns down. Freak!

What's in the Bill for self-employed and small businesses.
Interesting where the Small Business Administration and Chamber of Commerce stand on this issue?

Well did you know the Town of Cheektowaga has one of the highest tax rates? My home is assesed at $109,000.00 or $68,000.00 (65%)and I pay $3897.00 total. My home in Lancaster is assesed at $145,000.00 and I pay $4900.00 total. I also have a home in Depew assesed at $86,000.00 and pay $3400.00 total.Im looking for more rental property in lancaster as they are a nice place to live too.

I agree, towns fine for other such stuff like trash why not leaves? Besides I won't want a child getting hit by a car in anyones area but certainly not in my neighborhood.

The problem is, is that the media is downplaying the Terrorism angle because of political correctness! It's a joke. The media in this country is not out to give us information, they are out to make us believe what they think we should believe.

I agree and we pay these idiots how much money each year? I say we get ride of Brian Higgins,Kristen Gillibrand and Chuckie "boy" Shumer next election time. All the polls I saw said 54%,58% or more of Americans were against the healthcare take over in America by the government. this Bill isn't reform its a massive government takeover putting us one step closer to socialism. Oh, and doesn't Chuckie"boy"Schumer remind you of that doll "Chuckie" in those scary movies? i know the "Chuckie" doll can at least read because he remebers his "lines" in the movies.

Please provide the section and page numbers of the various assertions made in this article so they can be verified by anyone with access to the bill\'s text.

I\'m especially interested in the home invasion and force government schooling segments.

GEORGE: you can go to : mikehuckabee.com, i believe he has it or a link on his website. Also if you GOOGLE "healthcare bill mandates family" it should show up unless Nancy Pelosi and her crooked friends deleted it.I saw the HUCKABEE show on sunday and the above poster is correct as to what he stated was in the Bill, really scary stuff and it gets worse the more you learn. Try watching FOX NEWS and the following shows because its openly discussed and they show the actual bill in most cases.HANNITY,GLEN BECK,O'RIELLY FACTOR and GRETA VAN SUSTRAN. the more the american people know about the Bill the better they will realize it is NOT reform but a major government takeover.

I agree that something needs to be done about this. I don't know how many times i have woken up to see that the garbage men have left a mess or not even collected everything. Im sick and tired of picking up my neighbors trash in my front lawn

they dont work 8 hours they go home when they are done but get paid for 8 hours

I know exactly what u r talking about with the cheektowaga police!!I know someone else that went through almost the same sitiuation,they disgust me and embaress our city.there are more serious crimes that are taking place

You know everyday i am always hearing horror stories about Cheektowaga POLICE department,now you have the chief of police from Cheektowaga running for office and in one of his commercials he says how fair his inmates are treated,well there is lie # 1 i spent 2 days in there and was treated like a piece of garbage,the place had urine and feces on the floor where you had to sleep and they take 90% ofyour clothes and when its cold outside its twice as cold in your cell and your pillow is a roll of toilet paper.I know this is not the Sheraton hotel but they treat people in poverty stricken worlds better!!They did 5 cell checks and i asked to use the phone to let someone know i was being held.Each time they walked buy they would always say we are to busy right now maybe later,the one time they did bring the phone around of course i was sleeping and do you think they got me up knowing i have been asking many many times to use the phone to let my family know i needed their help.my charges were dropped but i know there are people they get in there just dont care either and leave disgusting stuff behind when they leave but we are americans and to sit in a cell in Cheektowaga is like being a prisoner of war they could at least treat you like a human but the power of the Badge goes to their heads and they abuse it badly,just send a health inspector to come in there on any given day to see how the prisoners are living,sometimes up to 2-3 days.I think after spending the 2 days in filth in Cheektowaga your sentence should be dismissed,Have some kind of pride in your job not everyone that enters your 3rd world jail is a murderer sometimes we make mistakes, its like not one of them policemen has ever done wrong in our society i dont think so

Cheektowaga police should be investigated,they are always harrassing people,I have heard so many horror stories about this department they need classes on how to deal with the public and not use their authority to scare people.you ride by the court building on any given day and the parking lots are full of people going to court.i would like to know if any of these cases that go before a judge are treated fairly,just like the one guy who wrote on steam about being pulled over with his fiance and being accused of running a red light,you cant argue with the judge because of course his' boys'dont lie and you end up paying some kind of fine no matter if your telling the truth.Is that fair we will never know,so to the policemen and women only you know the truth and let god punish you in the end how can you go home to your family at the end of your shift and know you might of ruined some honest person trust just to get a quota i hope they can sleep at night and if you know you lied and dont care then you have a serous problem get help

Yeah..like everybody on the internet is to be believed. Nobody EVER runs red lights, nobody who posts on the net could EVER be a crook. TWO DAYS in a town lock-up??? LIAR!!! I know for a FACT that the Cheektowaga Judges come in every day to arraign prisoners. Theres no way you were there for 2 days!

How many of you poor victims went and filed a complaint at CPD??

gee I can post again under any name I want. Anybody want to wager that the whiners here could possibly be the SAME person agreeing with himself.

Paugh!

Uhhhh. It wasnt CPD's chief that was running for Sheriff. It was one of their Captains.

One more thing to add that I missed. I would like to urge all young people to get involved and write and call the very people who are trying to ram this bill down our throats, Charles Schumer, Kristin Gilebrand, and Brian Higgins and tell them to vote "NO". Why is this so important? Because in the Bills young people between the ages of 18 and 30 will be forced to buy health insurance whether they want to or not. They will see there income taxes go up at least 10% and they will be forced to pay a 40% tax on the health insurance policy they will be forced to buy. How many young people just starting out in life can afford this?

here is some additional information that i have learned in buried in the 1500+ pages of this bill. The democrats are trying to force doctors to agree and support the bill by saying they will not cut medicare reimbursement payments if we agree and show support for the bill. So basically in my opinion the democrats are threatening us doctors. This bill is not healthcare reform its the take over of healthcare by the government.From what i see you will not have any choices eventually as health insurance companies will be forced out of business and the only place you will be forced to buy health insurance from is the government.Our biggest ememies in New York are Charles schumer and Kristen Gilebrant. Mainly Schumer who is pushing for the public option which eventually will be the only option.Lets send them a message that if they vote yes for this bill we will vote them out of office next election.

WATCH FOX NEWS ON CABLE CHANNEL 32!! THIS DOCTOR IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH!!! ALL THE OTHER NEWS STATIONS ARE IN BED WITH OBAMA AND THE WHITE HOUSE. WHY DO YOU THINK THE WHITE HOUSE IS ATTACKING FOX NEWS? FOX NEWS IS THE HIGHEST IN RATING AND IS FAIR AND BALANCED IN ITS REPORTING. GET THE FACTS,GET THE TRUTH, WATCH FOX NEWS!

People WAKE UP!!!!! Do you not see what This President and his congress are doing to this GREAT COUNTRY? He (Obama) said in a speach he gave just five days before the election and I quote " we are just five days aways from fundamentally changing this country." And boy did he mean it. wasn't anyone listening to what this man was saying? Was everyone high on the obama-aide? first it was the banks being taken over, then the car companies, then wallstreet and now health insurance which is 1/6 of our econmony. Both young and old need to be concerned and call your representatives. Listen to the doctor, he's right.

Doc, you are right on the money. I asked my Doc and he said we will all be in trouble. Patient care will suffer and taxes will go up and the country will be buried in debt. One other thing, Charles Schumer is pushing for the so called "public option." This is bad and this man should not be re-elected next time arround. I wonder when voters are going to wake up? A "free lunch" isn't always free. Someone has to pay for it. Our children,grandchildren and great grandchildren will be the ones paying for this and so will those with there lives when they get sick and denied coverage. Ask any canadian shopping at the Galleria Mall how much they like there "public option." I did and they all hate it. Those that do get sick and denied coverage if they have the money come here for treatment while others are left to simply die from cancer.VOTE SCHUMER OUT IF HE PUSHES FOR THE PUBLIC OPTION!!!!! WISE UP WESTERN NEW YORKERS!!!!!

Its going to get worse. Nancy Pelosi had the nerve to stand there and give a speach saying her bill is everything Americans wanted in reform. What a liar.Also Charles Schumer and Kristin Gillibrand have to go as they support this nonsense and money sucking monster of a socialist bill. The CBO said Pelosis bill would cost 1.055 Trillion dollars and insurance premiums would skyrocket for all Americans. She (Pelosi) says that is what Americans want? She needs to get off the Obama aide and get back to reality here.

I'll agree that congress doesn't have the knowledge to run anything much less the health care system. We should, however, get off our high horse. A doctor should make a good salary. A very good salary, not an extremely ridiculous salary though! What if the doctor actually kept the appointments, ON TIME ........ instead of eating those gourmet lunches they get from the pharmaceutical reps that they see every single day! EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!

The statement ... "..the Government Is Trying To "bribe" Doctors To 'go Along" With Reform..." is different than ".. the paid dinners for writing more scrips for a particular drug .." how?

I understand exactly how money it cost to develop a new drug, or improve one. Let's say 100 millon for the development ....... the company should make a profit, sure is a lot of money! Now , the reality is, the company is most likely bringing in 80 - 125 million EVERY MONTH off of this product!! Not a year! EVERY MONTH! there is a line at making a profit and raping the public! PERIOD!

The government should fund and closely watch the research for the "helpful" drugs, necessary medication that seriously threatens the public health......... not the "bullshit" medication for restless leg syndrome?? Really? Erection medication?

I'll have to support better birth control due to the fact that there are way too many people breeding on this plaent ............ BUT WHAT IF ....... they make a medicine that doesn't cause heart attacks, bleeding gums or make my intestines fall out of my ass??? How many poorly developed drugs do we, the people, have to endure before the mindless politicians have to step in?

What the hospitals charge for services should be a crime. Is it there fault? I would have to go back to the equipment companies and drug companies on that one. everyone should make money ...... this is what it's all about ...... but maybe we should look at these suppliers and think about regulations on how much.

Doctors should make money ....... school is difficult ....... but really? If you don't like the job and the pay .... join the rest of us and due hard work for a living.

People should also not be able to sue a doctor or hospital unless it was a pretty bad error ... Now we should regulate the lawyer, because, like the unions .......... they have ruined this country.

The government should step in when health care, frivolous lawsuits, record high profits on gas, the entire fault in out electrical systems and the cost of natural gas .......... especially natural gas! It's our most abundant resource our country has ....... thank god, too, wouldn't want the people to freeze to death in the winter because they couldn't afford it!!!

I heard a saying once ..... " this county needs an enema ...... we just can't afford it!

Tim apparently you have no idea as to what it cost to run a medical practice.Its basically like running a small business. Would you feel that it would be wrong if I made $750,000.00 this years? Now subtract my insurance which includes health insurance for my employees,my building insurance,my medical malpractice insurance, my familys health insurance, and my auto insurance. Next you have the mortgage on my building, my town,county and school taxes. Next is the salaries of 5 employees plus benefits of sick time and vacation, 401k contibutions etc..My student loan payments for the next 30 years. Add to the fact that I generally work 70 to 80+ hours a week and Im on call which can add to 90+ hours.So with that said if I net $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 is that also too much money? I can tell you Im not in it for the money. I could of played sports and made multi million dollar contract deals BUT I chose to work in a field I truely enjoy and to help save the lives of people.So if you favor President Obama and his health care reform which is basically a government take over maybe living in Canada for a few years will change your mind.

are you impying that village politicos lie

I honestly don't know much about the "Village people" or Village politicos.

remember on election day

I like them too, but look at some of the old folks driving thru them...some look kinda cornfused!

Another problem is the people who stop in the middle of them to let people in. Someone is going to get rear ended. When you are in the circle, you have the right of way. I saw a Metro Bus stop in the circle to let people in. I appreciate their courtesy, but it isn't how it's supposed to work. Good point Sean, I have had that happen to me too! You are not alone!

yes i agree with you i went there too and i was disappointed i got there like 15 min after it offical started and the lady said there was candy over there and when i went there was no candy and there was only stickers which we got at the geoffry's birthday party not much fun plus alot of kids werent dressed up it is a scam just to get in the store i agree plus they say they will have contests to win things i didnt see any for his birthday it is a big scam

You knew the rules when you signed her up for that school. Illegal, unexcused absence is also your own fault...send in an excuse why she was absent next time!

It's not there problem, it is yours! Kids today have no clue what discipline is. Sorry your a single mom, but 3 kids?

Parents are way to easy on their kids because they don't want to take the time to raise them correctly. It's easier to just blame everyone else because we don't have the time to take them to detention ...... certainly had plenty of time to churn out 3 of them though ....... and you get a break on taxes while the rest of us are required to make it up ........ Do you job and discipline your kids!

Lock your cars, dont leave valuables in your cars, CALL THE POLICE if you see something suspicious.
