"A PNC spokesperson says such a policy 'helps our customers avoid embarrassment.' " Is that some kind of a joke? Is their business supposed to be comically corrupt? The swindled should merely accept this tongue in cheek, wink and nod to the obvious swindle? Think of a world where the consumer has power. A world of consumers that reacts to a $217 overdraft scheme by pulling all of their accounts with that bank. No shortage of banks in Pittsburg, I'm guessing. Unfortunately, in these times, the consumer is broken from the power of their consumption. There is no consumers union; it's …

It's nice to see the fear of the transsexual ϋberfrau finally being tempered with common sense and precedence. If transsexual female atheletes were so much better than natural women then all women's sports would be dominated by transsexuals. Marianne Bagger wouldn't just be competitive, she'd win every event by 12 strokes. Where's the great transsexual marathoner, tennis player, golfer, vollyball queen? The only competitions I can actually remember hearing transsexual women win are beauty pageants. And in those cases (I think I've heard of two) the crowns were taken away. Go figure. I guess being born male gave them an unfair …

We all grew up with the knowledge that we could be vaporized at any moment. If we now learn that people want to build devices to vaporize us, how and why would we be alarmed?

I was wondering..... At least 47 whole bodies were recovered from the WTC. Would an autopsy on these bodies reveal whether they had inhaled Thermite/Thermate before they died?

If the families of those who perished are seeking truth, perhaps it can be found in the victims. Were any autopsies done on any of the bodies. I have a hard time believing that they would have occured. The cause of death being obvious. If even one body showed signs of elevated sulphur or whatever chemicals compose Thermite in the lungs perhaps we'd have our smoking gun. Of course the true believers would claim the victims had been playing with sparklers.

Minneapolis' went up by the same rate. Maybe it's all of the refugees up here. All 10 or 20 of them. OR maybe the the jack-boot of oppression that we all feel pressing down on our necks has caused the most disenfranchised to fight against it in the only way they have available. If they come for you Tina, who amoung us will shed a tear for you?

when it comes to television, advertising and programming (pun intended), there are many instances where men are portrayed as bumbling morons and women as clever geniuses. Fabulously beautiful, clever, geniuses. Plain women are moms. They serve Jello to their children or bring Pepsi to soccer games. Look deeper David.

"So, if you could eliminate the middle man and grow your own dope yourself without the fear of the narcs throwing you in jail, you could get buzzed for nothing. " How this very fact must terrify our government. How could they possibly leagalize a substance so popular, yet which can be grown in your own home for the mere price of potting soil, and fertilizer? I often feel that one of the reasons marijuana is illegal and will most likely stay illegal, is that it would hurt so many pocketbooks here in the land where Dollar is god. They …
