The rulers of the Democratic Republic of P.H. Hays griped because FEMA and the Engineers told them the Argenta levee needs work, but they instantly coughed up big cash to keep a rotting tugboat afloat so that it might serve as the taxpayer-owned ticket office serving a privately owned and operated floating restaurant.

This has nothing to do with the topic but I have a question about law, crimes, etc. Is the one who offers a bribe as guilty as the one who accepts it? Click on Cato.

L.R./NLR are not the only cities in the fault-line path of New Madrid quake site. Hot Springs would likely take a big hit. Memphis would come crumbling down sooner than L.R. What are they doing about it in Memphis?

Cato, seems as desperately as Ark needs physicians, esp neurosurgeons, the sentencing looks way out of line. I suppose it's best to keep Bush-corrupted US Attorneys so long as doctors are kept straight.
.

I'm not sure how far off the subject that is Cato.

It really is pound foolish and deadly dangerous, not to mention completely ineffective. What business man is going to build in an earthquake zone because he is allowed to build a building that will kill his workers and destroy his investment? Not anyone that you want to work for.

This is for the developers, again, of course. In Memphis now, where this mess started, owners are having to go in and retrofit the buildings they buy to protect their investment. Memphis is going down like a house of cards if the big one comes and the nation's rail traffic will be crippled when it does. The effects will be unbelieveable. I will make Katrina look like Cabot.

Cato,

The doctor was accused of performing unnecessary surgeries to get kickbacks on buying medical supplies. That is malpractice with a sinister turn. Making mistakes is one thing but intentionally causing harm is criminal.

If I was not against the death penalty this is where I would beieve it would be appropriate.

If the supplier or their rep was aware of the misuse of their supplies then hang them from a rope just to the left of the doctor.

I was living in San Francisco at the moment the photo was taken.. I stood in that spot as the fires burned, hours after the world turned into a giant shaking bowl of jello. Many thousands of people dropped everything and moved away within days of the experience. Nine months to the week later... a baby boom occurred in local hospitals..)

The main point I would like to make for folks here is securing your home is much easier than many may think. Although folks in the contracting business over billed astronomically for the easy inexpensive job in the Bay Area.. It is a simple job and need not cost more than a couple hundred dollars if you do it yourself or a thousand bucks to have someone bolt your houses frame to the foundation blocks. Considering we Arkansans don't have earthquake insurance and insurance doesn't pay... Please consider taking this simple step on your own.
