The art center is the not for profit. The gift shop is not. We get no government subsidy (quite the opposite, we pay taxes).

So without the "Art Center" which is the non profit. the gift shop would sell to whom? The "Art Center" is the pimp for the gift shop. It is not like this scam has not been used before.

Is this how your mother taught you to speak?

I learned to speak that way from dealing with arrogant people like yourself.

I am arrogant for pointing out an obvious fact?
Marky you are taking yourself way too seriously.

As for "pimp" and "scam", I've seen those exact same words used in reference to the exact same subject. You're not Hunter S., are you.

It is not a very well kept secret that I am Hunter S. Thompson (rumors of my death have been greatly exagerated)


Well it doesn't matter. Listening to your egotistical little mind prattle on about things you are utterly clueless about is one thing but when you start insulting my family, as well as many other good and decent people, without cause - that's another.


Oh my "rightious indignation"  too kewel.

Converse with you is in vain - you are to much in love with your own ego - and I will not further demean myself by having any further converse with you.

Goodbye.

I hope you grow up some day.

Yeah...like that might happen sometime before pigs learn to fly.

Congress does this every day. In the most recent example, this Health Bill, against the will of many, if not the majority. They are taking tax money and deciding who deserves it more than the people they took it from.

Any counsel I give is to not rely on anyone - in particular the government. It makes people lazy and expecting more entitlements for doing less and results in rewarding failure.

Yet this is exactly what you do.  You preach one thing but do the very thing you rail against.  You have your nose burried in the public trough and at the same time you pimp the line that the government is ...yadda yadda yadda.
You do know the meaning of the word hypocrite?
Why are you like that?
Why is it ok for you to be sucking on the public tit but you cop attitude when someone else does?

one thing I don't get about you. you live out there in God's country. you are standing in front of a giant world record sequoia. Yet you are against policies that protect our environment.

Drill baby drill. I would think that you would want to be a great steward of the planet and be willing to pay a little more at the pump to protect the wild places that you seem to enjoy.

Opinion 9.012 - Physicians' Political Communications with Patients and Their Families
Physicians enjoy the rights and privileges of free political speech shared by all Americans. It is laudable for physicians to run for political office; to lobby for political positions, parties or candidates; and in every other way to exercise the full scope of their political rights as citizens. These rights may be exercised individually or through involvement with organizations such as professional societies and political action committees.

quote:

In addition, physicians have a responsibility to work for the reform of, and to press for the proper administration of, laws that are related to health care. Physicians should keep themselves well-informed as to current political questions regarding needed and proposed changes to laws concerning such issues as access to health care, quality of health care services, scope of medical research, and promotion of public health.

quote:

It is natural that in fulfilling these political responsibilities, physicians will express their views to patients or their families. However, communications by telephone or other modalities with patients and their families about political matters must be conducted with the utmost sensitivity to patients’ vulnerability and desire for privacy. Conversations about political matters are not appropriate at times when patients or families are emotionally pressured by significant medical circumstances. Physicians are best able to judge both the intrusiveness of the discussion and the patient’s level of comfort. In general, when conversation with the patient or family concerning social, civic, or recreational matters is acceptable, discussion of items of political import may be appropriate.

quote:

Under no circumstances should physicians allow their differences with patients or their families about political matters to interfere with the delivery of high-quality professional care. (I, VII)

E-9.12 Patient-Physician Relationship: Respect for Law and Human Rights



The creation of the patient-physician relationship is contractual in nature. Generally, both the physician and the patient are free to enter into or decline the relationship. A physician may decline to undertake the care of a patient whose medical condition is not within the physician's current competence. However, physicians who offer their services to the public may not decline to accept patients because of race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other basis that would constitute invidious discrimination. Furthermore, physicians who are obligated under pre-existing contractual arrangements may not decline to accept patients as provided by those arrangements. (I, III, V, VI) Issued July 1986. Updated June 1994 and June 2008 based on the report "Modification of Ethics Policy to Ensure Inclusion for Transgender Physicians, Medical Students, and Patients," adopted November 2007.

quote:

Invidious discrimination generally refers to treating one group of people less well than another on such grounds as their race (racism), gender (sexism), religion (religious discrimination), height, ethnic background, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, preference or behavior, results of iq testing, age or political views.

Another post rising to your usual level of thoughfulness and research.

Thank you tazzy. I strongly suspect you did something really unusual- your own research.

I wish you would do your own research on the defintion of "natural born citizen". Please inc the importance of Law of Nations by Vattel, and Marbury v, Madison. The first thing you will find is that, contrary to all the "common wisdom" NBC has never been defined by the Courts.

Or you'll find something I can't. Which is entirely possible, of course.
