I disagree. We had much better toys than the tribesman of Afghan and the insurgents of Iraq. It still came down to a house to house sweep in many cities.

The same reason we didn't end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with bombs. The bad guys are very good at hiding from the bombs. Without boots on the ground, the enemy just scatters until the bombs stop.

I would be less excited than going to a Jehovah's Witness Hospital than a secular hospital. However, thats a false choice. The actual choice is between a Jehovah's Witness Hospital and no hospital at all, which makes me cautious when we threaten hospitals with regulations that might drive them out of the medical…

It costs $25.14 to ship a letter by fedex from my current address outside a major city to my parents on the other coast, about 30 minutes from a major airport, at the slowest cheapest rate. It will take 5 days, and they won't ship to Hawaii or Alaska. USPS will deliver the same size letter in 2 days and it will cost…

$42 million dollars a day seems cheaper than hiring a few thousand Defense Logistics Agency Couriers to carry parcels, opening up thousand new magistrates/consular offices to issue passports, increasing subsidies to private companies to allow everyone equal access to interstate commerce through the mail, and…

Actually, no I can't. Did you know that FedEx delivers 30.4% of its packages through the Postal Service. In another words, without the USPS, we don't have any delivery system at all. No one has found a more efficient way to deliver a package from one tiny town in the middle of the Mojave Desert to one outside…

That's a surprisingly well-drafted letter, implying that a lot of people have been complaining. Did it assuage our concerns at all?

Actually, without the Post Office three important things couldn't happen.

To be fair, being empowered to do something implies a lower priority than being ordered not to infringe on a preexisting right. After all, there's really not a huge outcry about those DC Fat Cats denying our right to Letters of Marque and Reprisal.a

Literally LOL, well-played.

However, to be fair whenever I (as a male) make the first move 99% of the time I get.

Take all the time you need. I'm on the West Coast I still have three more hours until quitting time.

Just to make sure we are on the same page, which is the point:

You have eight replies, seven of which you accuse of "missing the point" is it possible that you weren't as clear as you thought you were?

If you want a man who wants you for more than looks, you have to give him something else to know you by.

1. Liz Lemon is not hot, though Tina Fey is smoking, which leads perfectly into my next point.

Sorry, I addressed your questions on the first line. Yes, I am ok with Jehovah Witness hospitals giving everything but blood transfusions or Scientology providing only trauma care in their hospitals. Religions are not required to provide services to nonparishioners, if we accept their charity we accept their…

Yes, I would be. My mother always told me to never look a gift horse in the mouth.

So what's the alternative? No medical services at all? Are we okay with people dying of gunshot wounds, burst appendix, etc. because the Church decides that it can no longer operate hospitals and the State fails to make up the difference when 12% of hospitals close?

I am very sympathetic to Ms. Halappanavar and anyone who's medical choices are limited to a Catholic Hospital, but I am uncomfortable with telling Catholic Charities that the only way they can continue to be Charities is to stop being Catholic. It creates 3 issues:
