Interesting. Survey shows Democrats tend to be female, non-white and college-educated. As the non-white population of the country increases relative to white, and as more female minorities go to college, maybe those demographic changes cause a change in the democrats %s? Naw, you're probably right, it's a Soros-funded conspiracy to make democrats more liberal...

In yesterday's presser, Gailey all but admitted he underestimated Freddie's ability. He said something like (on the draft) "we thought we had a need" and "it's hard to get him touches when it means taking out a guy like Fred" No one is perfect. He didn't recognize the talents of Fitz and Fred, but at least he quickly admits his mistakes and moves on.

Hmmm...I thought I was going to get magox to bite on that one...

Technological change, substitution, and conservation mean we transition to other sources as the price of oil rises. The problem is those dam speculators won't let fundamental factors slowly increase prices, and instead we get price volatility which creates uncertainty....

Correct sir. As the Jets said, the Bills didn't do much different; it's a question of, "is my personnel better than yours"?

I think the Mayans give us until the winter solstice, so we should be 13-0 by then....

Ouch! You got me ocTom.

I hope you're right. I think the D played well for the most part. I don't think we have enough playmakers on O to beat the Jets, the second time around either.

I would hope the doubters realize how important this game meant. Had they won, they were in the drivers seat for the division. Now, there are questions about making the playoffs. Now I think the team the Bills have to beat is the Pats to get in. Time will tell... The Jets are a team to beat to be a playoff contender. The Bills failed the test. I still think they will be 10-6, but now I think they will have to beat the Pats twice to make the playoffs...not easy...

This is the Skins O-line; it's one of the best in the league, especially with Mangold back. Whoever wins this battle, wins the game: Jets O-line vs. Bills D-line

Maybe you simply need a new dictionary simon...

That conjures up the lyrics, "Well, I'm half the man I used to be...."

"Well, that's just you're opinion man..." The Dude

IF, we can't beat the Jets at home, I wouldn't put much chance at beating them on the road.

Nothing wrong with a little hyperbole....

Every game is important, yeah right. THIS game is the one that defines this team. They were manhanndled last year by the Jets. The players talk about it; they know they couldn't stop the Jets' run game. This game determines whether the Bills make the playoffs or not. Only two teams will make the playoffs from the AFC EAST, and it's very likely the Pats will be one of them. The Bills have to beat the Jets on their home turf. This is going to be a game for the ages my friends. Go Bills!

To the first point, in the current situation I believe the court ruled it illegal, so Dr. K was shut down. Yes, I agree, the medical industry has the incentive to keep people alive, but there is also no other choice at the moment. I'm sure the medical industry would fight a "right to death" option too. I do think a significant number of the population would choose to go on their own terms though, and I would not want it to be determined by some board--it's an individual's choice. How is this happening, that I'm defending that against you?

As I mentioned in another post, I only know two people in the world who know and have the answer for everything, and we are lucky enough to have all three of them here.

I see someone just started this topic about him, which is what I was thinking about--it seems the D has picked up since his return. He was fast to begin with, so even if he lost a step, he's still pretty fast.

What makes you say he's not as fast anymore? Has he been timed and compared to an earlier 40? While he's been injured a lot, I haven't heard anyone say he's not as fast as he used to be??? I think he is important to the D's improvement though, and will be a factor in the game.

Boy, that's a bit ironic, you don't want it left to the individual? Seriously, I think Kevorkian already proved that individuals can and will make that decision. I'm with Tom, I'd definitely pull the plug, especially if I was going to be a burden on my family. Sorry, Pavlovian response; I thought you were putting words in my mouth again.

17-13, Bills.

Since you came up with the conclusion that nationalization was the natural solution, I guess you need to answer it. I simply diagnosed the disease doctor, it's up to you to cure it... Also, not trying to be totally flippant; while it's easy enough to see the broad cause, because it's not just the healthcare industry and government, but I don't know enough about the solutions to really flap my mouth about it. As far as I know, there are only two people in the world who have answers to every problem..... And we are fortunate, I think, to have both of them here on PPP....

Why do you even need a death panel? Why can't someone, of sound mind, make the decision when they want to go? Unless that's what a panel would decide, are they mentally stable enough to make the decision.

I really don't know the "best way to fix it." Do you mean healthcare or insurance? I think the debate has been about providing national insurance as an alternative. Again, though, I don't have a solution here.
