"It's as if you're looking at these ratios through a fun house mirror. It really ought to be reversed, it ought to be flipped, they ought to be giving 80 or 90 percent to helping veterans, not only 12 percent. It's really pathetic. We really have to ask why is this going on, what's the point?"

Do you see it as a fad?

Do you use it? Why or why not?

Do you see/have a problem with having personal information on Facebook (like so many do) ?

Do you think governments (and others) are supporting Facebook as a means to gather more information on individuals? ]]> Technology JCat http://www.justput.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24929 Vermont bans fracking http://www.justput.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24928&goto=newpost Fri, 18 May 2012 14:44:03 GMT http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1522098.html

I don't know the true facts on this, but I believe there have been a total of 6 wells drilled in Vermont in the search for oil and gas and all 6 were dry holes. The last attempt was in 1984.

I support Vermont. I believe they should not allow fracking. I also believe they should not use any products produced if fracking was involved.

Oklahoma has a ban of whaling and I try not to use any whale oil products.
