Msquared: NASA and female viagra

Re: the story on the family that adopted 4 children from Russia. I listened to the Mom happily explaining that although her son had developmental difficulties there are speech therapists, physical therapists and other kinds of therapists who work with him regularly. "The resources are out there," she said.

Well, yes they are, because her neighbors taxes are paying for them, and maybe they're not so thrilled that the limited funds in the local educational budget are paying for this child, rather than for more teachers or smaller classes for the children who are already here. So, while she and her husband made a decision to be generous, her neighbors didn't have a choice. If I were among them, I'd resent it.

Yeah for Roland Martin and Mary Matalin You couldn't have raised children!! Spanking is not beating a child. A tap on the behind is just that and gets the attention of the child and lets them know their current behavior is not accepted.

President Obama's plan to trim NASA away from several very expensive Secret Black projects and redundant space missions with a executive redirection order to focus on new space exploration seems to entirely fit in the Republican party's credo and talking points of less federal government is better.

However when put into action, Republican lawmakers and party members are up in arms against President Obama putting their credo and talking points into action by trimming NASA's black projects and hyper-expensive redundant space missions.

Now Republican lawmakers and their Republican spin-misters are combining America's Health Care Bill with President Obama trimming NASA as their talking points!

Apparently when any sense of logic, accuracy and truthfulness cease to exist in the Republican arguments against President Obama, they just make it up anyway!

Thank you Roland for informing us about the racially-biased decision of Six Flags not to allow their employees to wear their hair in Locs. My loc'd husband and I will keep our six figures at home...or maybe even take it to Disney. We will NEVER go to Six Flags!!!

Turning human space flight over to private companies is a great idea, but now is not the time. The Constellation program, i.e. back to the moon rocket, has made a lot of progress, despite it being under funded since its conception. The successful Ares I-X flight last October and the successful Pad Abort test in May... this shows that we have physical hardware that can get us back to space (safely) and we can show that it works. To throw that all away and start over is fiscally irresponsible and from an engineering standpoint doesn't make any sense.

While congress and the president debate this issue, we're losing aerospace jobs... very specialized jobs... jobs that carry a lot of technical know how and experience. We're also losing our competitive edge as a nation in aerospace and our leadership in space as well.

Obama wants to create aerospace jobs... great, but we're losing the ones we have right now. The constellation program is the way to go... the answer isn't to cancel it, the answer is to give it the funding it deserves to make the progress everyone wants.
