Is there McCainger in the air?

Think your insured?

When an insurance company is called upon to make good on a policy, what will they find in your background?

"[AIG] said that had they known that Andrew White had a car accident when he was 16 years old, they never would have written the policy to begin with,"

Tidal Winds

If you going to have large windmills off the coast, make sure the have a mechanism underwater to capture energy from tidal and current forces.

Here's a good start.

Flame Out

If you wanted to know how the Bush administration was going to end, you just had to look to his past. Over the years anything George Jr. touch was a failure. His baseball team, his oil company. is it any wonder his presidency is ending the way it is?So if we use this same method you have to ask, when will the McCain campaign crash? The guy has crashed or been part of four crashes in training and one in combat. Which could lead a person to believe he should have never been a "fighter pilot" in Vietnam. If not for his Admiral Father he would have been drummed out of the Academy and never completed flight school.

Lines

When we draw lines on a map or speak of lines in the sand with the language of escalation. Is there really anyway we can understand what is happening there or what is in the hearts of the people involved.There are large parts of the world that are carved up into political and economic boarder by colonial expansionism and then The Cold War.In South Ossetia we have people that want to be thought of as independent. Fine. They want to think of themselves as an autonomous people. That doesn't kill anybody, it doesn't force people from their home creating a refugee crisis.If the majority feels it's more aligned with the Russian people and are willing to repect the right of the minority with in a fully democratic system, why is this an issue that has reach a level that requires violence.By any literal definition the Russians are quilty of over-kill. But the Georgian, more then most, should understand Thier neighbors brutish nature. So to send the military into an area already occupied by peacekeepers is probably not a good idea.But this brings me to the point. Why do we the people allow our governments to lead us to war. Where innocent people will die, where children will be killed or scared for life, where neighbors will be forced from their homes and livelihoods?How it is that we allow our leaders to convince us that death and violence is the answer to any question short of genocide and self-defense.All we need to do is look to Iraq. A country that did not attack us. But now stands with potentially hundreds of thousand of dead and many more scared for life.It is true the people of Iraq lived under an extremely oppressive regime. But they had within their power as does all peoples to stand up to that oppression. A million people on the streets of Baghdad would have brought the government down.In Georgia the people from both side need to take to the streets in a peaceful movement to stop the violence and begin a dialogue of reconciliation and resolution.

Send an unarmed columns of hundreds of thousands to meet the russian troop and to South Ossetia begin a dialogue of peace and cooperation.

To follow a government into a violence base solution you have to ask yourself, Am I fighting for my country or, Am I fighting for my countries special interests?
