31 [lbo-talk] Wisconsin recall results -- rank: 1000

Personally, I think that all or nothing is bullshit. There was enough at stake here that Pasch winning would have had real, practical change. It would have allowed the rollback of Walker's legislation. It was an idiotic move by all the one's you praise below.

32 [lbo-talk] Wisconsin recall results -- rank: 1000

Just one more thing...I did a bit of canvassing to get out the vote on election day, and I met some more green party types who said they just don't care to vote, they don't like Dems. I really don't think anything would have got them to vote... And I met one guy who said to me..."yah, I hate Darling, but I got some things to do today...so I don't think I will vote." I think that is a lot less likely to occur among conservatives... Sent from my iPad

33 [lbo-talk] Wisconsin recall results -- rank: 1000

I do have to say that while Sandy Pasch is a very nice person, I was annoyed by two things. After taking up the candidacy, she really didn't shoot out the door aggressively and make herself heard until very near the time of the fake primaries...and not to overemphasize the importance of political signage, but I happen to live on a main thoroughfare in her district and it was weeks upon weeks until they even got signs for us, though we asked them repeatedly. Meanwhile, Darling had two huge signs ...

34 [lbo-talk] Wisconsin recall results -- rank: 1000

Shouldn't we remember that the recall elections were a net gain for the Democrats? All of the recall elections against Republicans were in traditionally strong Republican districts, which had voted for Walker. Two of the six were taken now by Democrats. That is a slight shift in voter trends in areas where you wouldn't expect it. The Dems were stuck running recall elections ONLY in the small number of legislatures that were up for Recall (had been in office more than a year since last elections) ...

Complete boolgoose loony libertarian wants to privatize the FDA based on Kashrut as a model: http://benmalisow.com/blog.php?s=entry-the-forty-first-a-private-matter " I hear a lot of arguments about how some things just could not be privatized, because no comparable company would step into the niche left by an absent government entity and provide that same service with a similar level of quality and function. I was thinking about that position the other day while considering the FDA-- that ...

I really want to try mead, but it takes a year for it to be drinkable...what if you trade some yummy jam and then wait a year for mead that possibly isn't (though possibly is) real good?

37 [lbo-talk] pah -- rank: 1000

What did you brew up? I just started drinking my latest, which was my first attempt at a Weissbier... I maybe shouldn't have put in a secondary fermenter, because it doesn't have much of the traditional Weiss haze anymore, and I added crystal malt, which I think gives it a higher malt profile taste than would be traditional... Tastes real good, just not a traditional Weiss profile... Bryan Sent from my iPad On Jun 17, 2011, at 16:17, Andy <andy274 at gmail.com> wrote: > Friday, 5:15pm, ...

40 [lbo-talk] The epidemic of mental illness -- rank: 1000

In March 2010, after my family was killed in a car accident, I (obviously) had severe depressive and anxiety symptoms...completely unbearable... I tried a behavioral psychologist, a Lacanian therapist (in Israel), I tried some "natural supplements" (not ridiculous homeopathy) that a psychologist suggested had clinical evidence of effectivity on symptoms... I still felt the extremely unbearable shitty self. I did NOT want any SSRI because I have always been wary, hearing of their side e ...

Hi Chuck, No, I am a pretty open person and open to advice, and anyway, I feel like I know some of you all just from reading all your emails for years... I really don't see me getting addicted to Xanax, because I take it infrequently and in small doses...only when the going gets a bit too tough, and that luckily that is ever more infrequent... I also try to get out and do things... work out several times a week, bike a few times a week outside, go out to see music shows as often as I can (I happ ...

Hi, Ummmm...well very, very subtle strangeness in the first few weeks. If I moved my head quickly, it was like my sense of body placement followed an almost imperceptibly short time later (that is only a bastardized explanation of the feeling) a bit of that and if I forget to take it for a day, I notice it because of this and also a not-really-headache but a strange feeling in my head...or a subtle twitch in my calves...then I go "oh..did I take my pill?" and remember...but all quite s ...

43 [lbo-talk] Israelis want a second passport... -- rank: 1000

I think Jim is right on his assessment, and I should also add that having the non-ideological and more liberal minded Israelis leaving for safer waters while leaving behind the nationalists and religious would not be a good scenario for the Palestinians or the rest of the world...sounds like a nightmare scenario to me.

Well, I hope some of y'all are interested in this subject.
