Here are some reasons why sensationalized, crap articles like this should be scrutinized carefully before making a decision. The article compares 2,500 "Americans" to 300 deaths. OK, that's just in...

The IRS has nothing to do with sales tax. Perhaps you ought to read the article so you know what's happening.

Not sure I understand the math on that one, but here's a couple I get clearly: let's drop the income cap on contributions and means test recipients. Nobody earning $500,000 a year at age 66 should be...

Hmmm. Looks like a very poorly written article. No breakthroughs here. Sorry.

Stunning turn of events. I'm ashamed of Obama. He's getting a letter from me.

Why is it that one out of a thousand in a profession has opinions that the other 999 think are absurd, yet it's the one that makes it on to Oprah with his book? We spend so much time and money...

Thanks, but I know all the history and excuses. There is no answer I'll accept. I'd call the act barbaric, but I don't think it was barbarians that did that to their innocent little children.

I could not agree more. What madness propels us to continue this horror? 2%-6% experience complications? There is no justification.

When was that book written? I'm asking because Thimerosal, which has been proven safe in dozens of well conducted studies, was removed from childhood vaccines in 1991, due not to safety concerns, but...

I'm just curious Glia; how many doctors, and I mean real MDs or DOs, do you know personally? ... as opposed to professionally? How many people do you know that work in the pharmaceutical industry?...

Here's an article on that topic. It was written by some of the leading experts in the world on vaccinations. I suppose that will disqualify it immediately for some people. Oh well ...

I rarely disagree with you Conrad but I have to here. First though, to a point Dixon made: piercing the ears of an infant is body modification. Removing a functional organ from a human being is not...

Based on my experience and knowledge, I immediately came to the conclusion the author of that opening statement is a liar. That statement is NOT true. No, I didn't read the article. I try to stick...

Was that taken from the book? I wonder when that information was gathered and who the ignoramus was who wrote it? ... the author?

Nonsense, lies and misstatements. Those who "listen to...

Uh huh.

Handy, that radiation argument is completely bogus and you should be smart enough to know that. We're talking about plutonium. Show me a chart that displays how many plutonium particles are safe to...

I won't read those articles because it's pointless to attempt teaching science here on Wacco. I give up. Those headlines are not data, of course, and I can bet the articles don't contain any either....

So please explain to me how the six year old child that was just shot in a drive by shooting created her own reality? Please be specific. I just heard about it on the radio and wish to know the...

As always, I appreciate the wit and wisdom of Conrad's offerings on Waccobb. However, I'd like to take the opportunity to dispel a popular myth about "the placebo effect."

This sentence implies sexual intentions are somehow "impure." How was that conclusion reached?

Sex can certainly be nurturing and experienced with "purity of heart."
