Why?

[Andy A]

1. Are 3 Navy seals being courtmartialed for physical abuse of a terrorist killer?

2. State citizens being told they must purchase health insurance even though it appears to be in direct violation of the 9th and 10th Amendments of the Constitution?

3. Does the healthcare bill call for hiring 16,000 new IRS agents?

4. Is the Gulf coast and East coast opened to oil exploration but the West coast and parts of Alaska not?

5. Does a federal judge find the father of Lance Cpl. Snyder responsible for court costs incurred in a church groups protest at his son's military funeral?

There are many more "whys" going on in today's political spectrum and I am sure they apply to both left and right. I feel that many should not occur, regardless of partisan thoughts and actions. These five are presented as mine and I urge you to present yours along with cogent and thoughtful answers to such "whys". My interest is not in hearing quotes or articles from slanted sources but from hearing heart felt personal experiences and happenings. I am tired of readings from Glen Beck and Adriana Huffington. I want what is really happening to SoWallers and "why".

#5 is a total crock IMO! They should be paying HIM for being such horrid human beings that they protested at his son's military funeral!

Why are ALL Walton County residents south of the bay being counted for the census via door-to-door canvassing, even when you are in a house that was here in 2000? I fear serious undercountment (a word I just invented) and no change in our commission representation.

This one is amazing, and while we are on "whys", why has no one with a high powered rifle taken out this Phelps character as he is painting his signs one day?

Why has the government taken away the right to make student loans from private financial institutions?

They haven't, they just won't serve as the safety net for these private financial institutions anymore. The banks will actually have to do their own underwriting (GASP!).

I don't watch Fox News, could you give the links to these stories.

Agreed.

This is a heavily tourist area and the same thing is being done in many other heavily tourist based areas. It's not an under count issue, it's an accuracy issue.

While I detest his speech, I'll defend his right to say it to the death.

You really want to get started on this?

My census guy said this had to do with foreclosures and rentals, they decided door to door was going to be needed anyway, so they skipped the mailer to save some money.

I asked the Census worker who came to my house and it is because they had a significant number of forms that were never returned because there is such a high number of Vacation Rental units and second homes. Makes sense and it should increase our count this year.

Now I know what is wrong with you and why you have the attitude you have. You are "unbalanced" and "unfair". You should try watching it sometime. Even with your vast experience and knowledge, you might learn even more.
