The best remedy when someone uses it in lieu of the simple, correct, and perfectly adequate preventive is to slip preventational or preventatative into your reply.

I think (or hope) that #20 was making a funny.

But you send a guy on six combat tours, and can you really expect him to still live by the social mores of civilized life when he is in a war zone? Watch body parts fly around for ten years, I suppose it just becomes kind of normal after awhile. Sadly.

I agree with everything President Obama says about oil speculation --- but I disagree and despise his actions in support of massive speculation.

President Obama reappointed the author of much of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Neal Wolin, and two major supporters of the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, Gary Gensler to the CFTC and Larry Summers, who is no longer with his administration.

President Obama’s Treasury Secretary Geithner, and his treasury department, strongly supported keeping naked swaps --- the most valuable tool in large-scale commodities speculation.

To date, all actions of the Obama administration have allowed and encouraged the very speculation he denounces!

Much of the entire speculation spectrum: (1) unlimited number of credit default swaps allowed against bonds, etc. (naked swaps); (2) unlimited number of commodity futures contracts allowed against specific commodities or categories; (3) unlimited number of investors allowed per hedge fund; and (4) naked short selling via DTCC’s Stock Borrow Program, were realized during the Clinton administration, and expanded under the Bush and Obama administrations!

I am a lifelong democrat --- I would love to support Obama, but Obama, Biden, and both Clintons are simply just some more neocons.

incorrect, but common and now accepted: "We'll be leaving soon, hopefully."

I am still upset about losing empathic to empathetic.
