Mike, For flight 587, pilot error was what the FAA reported within hours of the crash. The NTSB report did not take into consideration the eye witness reports from NYC Police and Firefighters among others. I don't know what the reason was, maybe pilot error, metal fatigue or sabotage, but I don't think we got the truth. I don't know why. The reason I linked it to an environment of fear is that most of us felt we were under direct attack since the crash created multiple explosions. John Kerry did not run away in Viet Nam. He completed one tour of duty and started a second before his honorable discharge and third purple heart. His Daddy might have been able to get him into the Air National Guard, too, but he chose to stand and fight. He spoke up about atrocities in the Viet Nam war. Remember the Mai Lai massacre? It's part of history and led to a series of congressional hearings and courts marshal hearings. He has voted against some obsolete military defense systems. So did your BUDDY Dick Cheney who was in Congress at the time and Porter Goss who has been chosen to lead the CIA. Actually I don'****ch CBS. I watch CNN, MSNBC and force myself to sit through a lot of Fox News shows to catch alternate points of view. What accurate, unbiased, reliable source do you suggest?

Kewl! Have hoodie! Will vote!

I am being honest. I'm not as familiar with his record as I should be. The people of Mass. must be happy enough with him to have re-elected him. Well according to the US Navy Kerry is a war hero. They have records to prove it. I have no reason to doubt the Navy. Why do call him a traitor? Because he had an opinion -- took a stand. Gee first he has the guts to enlist in the Navy, when he could have gotten deferrals like Dick Cheney. Then he comes home and has the guts to disagree with popular opinion and stand up before the country and speak them. Deserters are traitors and we all know who that describes! Well it looks like George Bush loves war or at least sending other peoples kids to war. Afghanistan was one thing. I agree with going there, but he blew it and let Bin Laden go. If he hadn't diverted the troops to Iraq, maybe we would have caught him. None of you Bush people can explain to me, why Iraq? Why not Saudi Arabia? After all 15 of the 19 highjackers came from there. They harbor terrorists on a huge scale. NO, he has a different agenda and it sure isn't patriotism or keeping us safe on our soil.

Not everyone agrees it is 'murder' A bunch of cells in the first trimester cannot sustain life on their own. You also make it sound like it is just sooo easy to just put a baby up for adoption. Sure, there are plenty of couples out there just waiting for a baby of their own - but the vast majority want a HEALTHY WHITE NEWBORN. What does that say for those who are minorities? What about those with disfigurements and so on? I'm not saying all these "unwanted" babies should have been aborted, but to say "just give it up for adoption" ain't that easy. Too many of these kids wind up in foster homes becoming more and more 'unadoptable' as they get older. I suggest you open your home and wallets to support all of these kids. PRO-CHOICE, ANTI-BUSH

Are you saying that the government should have nothing to say regarding murder?? Are you saying the government has no right to protect the living, even the ones who are not yet able to speak for themselves? So if I wanted to go out and kill someone, it should be "safe, legal, and rare"? As far as Me (because I'm a man) having no idea what it's like, well you're right there, I don't. But you see, women DO have other options.. they can give their "mistake" up for adoption to a loving family who would do anything to raise a child. I just don't see how throwing a living, growing, innocent child away like it was yesterday's newspaper is anything but WRONG, plain and simple! And as I said, unless she was raped or something of that nature, the woman HAD THE CHOICE to either DO IT, or NOT DO IT!! Call it whatever you want.. abortion is still murder! -Mike PRO-LIFE, ANTI-KERRY.
