There is no price (money) high enough to purchase my life, however I will gladly ''give'' it up to save someone else if the need arose. You cannot truly put a value on life, Book keepers can manipulate the math to seemingly evaluate a Citizens worth but this is an imperfect method, In the end, a life is worth no more and no less than the owner says it is.

you realy want to see a lie that has been for over 40 years, the goverment owns 7 oil wells already to produce alreay drill, just hook up and start draining oil and gas..and its more oil and gas than saudias and more gas than russia.

back in 1970 they discover these well and had them all capped and put on guard for the past 40 years, what a joke. gas would be pennys and oil in the penny for us americans. this has to get out into the media so everyone please help.

go to rense.com

look under GAS PRICE MANIPULATION AND GULL ISLAND OIL

AND START SCREAMING WHAT THE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR 401K;
DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR RETIREMENT;
DONT WORRY ABOUT YOUR STASH OF GOLD AND SILVER COINS;

BECAUSE, IT WONT HELP YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU DONT LEARN TO GROW AND CAN YOUR OWN FOOD, YOU ARE GOING TO BE UP SH*T-CREEK DURING THE NEXT HURRICANE KATRINA, OR WEATHER RELATED, OR TERRORIST TYPE U.S. CRISIS. YOU WILL HAVE TO GO DOWN TO THE WALMART AND FIGHT OVER THE LAST CAN OF BEANS LIKE DURING THE NEW ORLEANS HURRRICANE,..OR YOU''''LL HAVE TO PIMP OUT YOUR WIFE OR DAUGHTER FOR A CAN OF TUNA FOR YOUR FAMILY.

DO IT NOW ,..LEARN TO GROW A VEGETABLE GARDEN, LEARN TO CAN FOOD, LEARN TO BUILD A SMOKE HOUSE TO SMOKE GAME MEATS. "DONT FAIL TO PLAN!"

IT%u2019S GOING TO BE SO FUNNY WATCHING THESE "SUITS" ON THE FINACIAL CHANNELS STARVE TO DEATH WITH TONS OF MONEY STASHED IN THEIR HOMES AND SAFE-DEPOSIT BOXES, BECAUSE THE STORES WON%u2019T HAVE ANY FOOD ON THE SHELVES.

LEARN TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD, EVEN IF YOU JUST START WITH A TOMATO PLANT IN YOUR WINDOW OR ON YOUR PATIO. BUY SOME LAND, EVEN A 1/2ACRE(THAT COULD SUPPORT A SMALL FAMILY W/POTATOS, BEANS, OINIONS AND CABBAGE/GREENS.),%u2026IF YOU KNOW HOW TO CAN FOOD LIKE ME.

It''s the same problems now as California, smog, water shortages, urban sprawl.

They should of stayed there and deal with their problems rather than chase another "gold field".

Sigh, the grass is always greener.

What a completely disconnected way to evaluate the costs to do the right thing. What ever happened to doing the right thing regardless of cost? Many have fought and died for our freedom and many of us have lost a loved one for those causes. Why in the world would we generate a cost process based on disconnected self worth assessments? Are all the great thinkers and inventors living in one town that someone could think this way? I think the regime change in January will help us as a nation discover a community mind set of people coming together and help lower the finger pointing and get some stuff done. Federal help is great for some things but not for a personal survival strategy like some people look for it to be.

Hello America

there we have it !

we all agree California should be Seperated out of the Union, and the agreement is,
that california will collect up all their Illegal Immigrants from Nebraska, Colorado, Oregon, Iowa and where ever else they scattered to.
and we except that we will not need to furnish any more natural gas from Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Montana to subsidize their lavish life styles.
that means we can use our natural gas for heating homes and fueling our cars instead of burning vast ammounts providing electricity to Palo Alto.

its for the best, and no worry we can get our oranges from Florida,

and
and
we can watch reruns of Gilligans Island, until we set up new movie studios in Branson.

so good ridance to California once and for all.
and all their liberal wackos.

Gouvenor Arnie we won`t need to see you on ABC`s Sunday roundtable with George !

its been all settled, the U.S. no longer needs to worry about California.

sincerely Fuzzy Bear

" but a life isn''''''''t worth NEARLY $6.9M. That''''''''s crazy.
And if you live in the 3rd world, you''''''''d be lucky to get a few hundred dollars if your loved one died in an accident. "
--------------------------------

The $6.9 million is not how much insurance you''ll be paid, or receive if someone dies. It''s the amount of money the Government is willing to spend for safety, per life.
It''s less in a poorer country because they won''t/can''t spend that amount per person for safety.
If spending less than $6.9 million on a smokestack filter so one person won''t get lung cancer, they''ll do it. If you need to spend $7 million for it, they won''t.
Bolivia won''t spend $6.9 million dollars for a filter to save just one life. Because their economy is weaker, the number is much lower.

The story says the US Government lowered that figure, because you''re not worth it.
The economy is bad. The money has been spent on Blackwater, KBR and others. It doesn''t just mean you can''t buy that car this year, it means more folks will die as the Government tells the industries they represent they can spend less (on mad cow detection, salmonella prevention, airline inspections, etc.)
Got it?
