Well, I guess I'm just going by how you guys have only two parties and there is so much hatred between the two. So much bickering back and forth. And very obsessive about politics. It enters into everything. We have 5 parties in Canada, and we don't see that kind of bickering or hatred. We don't even discuss politics with each other.
Well, it's not just about politics that this country seems to have so much hatred about. We seem to have a country that has produced alot of angry, hateful people in the last 5 years. Some have ALWAYS been hateful and angry, others graduated to it through the economics of late. People who have been able to pay for what they want get pretty pi*ssed if they can't even pay for what they need. The world is suffering right now, but the Angry American is quite loud in voicing their unhappiness with their individual situation....and that usually boils down to blaming someone for their lot in life. The politicians are our target because it is all of their fault that we have all lost so much. The politicians know this so they pit class against class...aka class warfare. It keeps us from staying focused on the fact that the politicians are the ones that caused the problems, whether by listening to the different lobbies or by not listening to their constituents or by just being plain old greedy little pric*ks. No matter how you slice it, Americans are just sick of the bullsh***t....problem is, how do we fix it??? Beats me...it's "us" against "them" it seems and "us" just keeps getting glued and screwed to the wall.
More vehicles come off the assembly lines as white. Lots of people want white...easy to clean, doesn't absorb heat as much as darker colored cars...lots of fleet vehicles are white, just the most neutral color in the world evidently.
Only a Republican with intellect on par with Palin would try and associate this event with Obama. Please don't further the stereotype that Republican's are poorly educated morons.
Oh please Robin, your comment could apply to either party. Neither party seems to be able to keep their foot out of their mouths, but I must admit, Romney is leading in this are at this moment. Can't wait for ole Mitt to get his butt back to the US before he diverts his comments to the problem in India. Can you just see the idiotic comments that would come out of his mouth about this situation? Something like "India's personnel in charge of their electric distribution problem could take lessons from America about how to handle an outage...why the electricity was only out for a week back East in our country......oh, wait, never mind".
It came already....remember back in the East when the electric was out recently due to a really bad storm that took out the electricity of a WHOLE BUNCH of people and it took almost a week to get it restored????....maybe not as many as in India, but then our whole country only equals about half of the people in India whose electricity doesn't work. Still....the US has already been there.
It is corporate you are talking about....easy answer...these "lazy people from India who do not do their job will not be paid each day they to not do their job even though they can not do their job, that is not our problem"...NO WORK, NO PAY, that's the corporate way.
That actually was only a "black out" at night so that enemy aircraft could not see the towns in the dark..the electricity was usable during the daylight hours. Kinda different from NO electricity day OR night.
"When companies like General Motors went global, they told the American people that by their example they would be the best human and workers' rights ambassadors, raising standards across the global economy," the institute said. "It is time for General Motors to act.""
Granted, GM did act but not in favor of the workers... people are free to look up the latest chapters in that incident and then claim "it can't happen here", note the quote... Sinclair Lewis - a fascinating chap, he was...
If they are so in the dark, how the heck did they acquire nukes and how are they able to take care of them. I think some of that country is still living in the dark ages, but good grief, I sure hope their silo regions are not (or where ever they store their toys)!!

India is building one and they will be doing thorium conversion as well. India has a large supply of thorium in the ground, but not much uranium.
I can think of only one other bigger blackout - maybe World War II.
Ironic, isn't it?
