Bush SEC Pick Is Seen as Friend to Corporations By Stephen Labaton The New York Times
(partial quote)
"William Lerach, a prominent shareholder lawyer in San Diego who a decade ago found himself on the losing end of the political battle over investor lawsuits, agreed that the Republicans on the commission will now be more unified. But as a result, he argued, the policies it sets could be devastating for investors.
'I would expect that Cox will use his authority for an across-the-board assault on investor protection,' Mr. Lerach said. 'In my experience with him, I found him to be virulently anti-investor and unrestrained in his desire to gut the securities laws. It's hard to think of a worse choice for the S.E.C. This is a world-class payback to the corporate world.'
Mr. Lerach recalled that the final legislation Congress adopted to restrict investor lawsuits, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, was much milder than the legislation Mr. Cox first proposed. That bill had significantly raised the standard of proof for investors and had included a provision forcing the losing party in such lawsuits to pay legal fees, a provision that some experts said would have effectively killed most investor lawsuits."

Glassman: Carter's problems can be attributed directly to problems that built up during Watergate, and went unaddressed...
Art: How in the world can you specify a causal chain of events that shows how Carter was influenced by Watergate in a way that damaged his performance as president? Show this?
Glassman: Iran was lost to US because we ignored the problems...
Art: We supported an unpopular dictatorship in the Shah, that was overthrown. How could we have prevented this?

HoldingGtel: Didn't Clinton get contributions from communists in China?
Art: Yep. and in return Clinton gave the Chinese advanced computer tech which allows them to use militarily against the USA and its allies, and he tolerated the Chinese stealing all of our nuclear wepaons tech.

You just keep sitting there on your thumbs and do nothing. They are just children, who cares?
Love it. Really funny.
Actually, present day arsenic standards are lower (less arsenic in the water) than they were under Clinton. If the nutty environmentalists had their, way our economy would be ruined by trying to make the environment unneccesarily pristine.

Holding Gtel: "Clinton, selling missile technology to communists with nukes."
Gurl: Is Clinton currently engaging in this activity?
Art: No. But Clinton took Chinese money and gave them advanced computer military tech, and tolerated the Chinese stealing our nuclear weapons tech. When you se the muchroom clouds over the USA or its allies, then you will se how damaging this was.
Gurl: Is that an ongoing activity which poisons our kids?
Art: Bush has hurt no children - none. Show me one that has been hurt in the way you claim? Liberal lies.
Gurl: Is your comment pertinent to the Cox nomination?
Art: As much as your comments are. You have tried to deman Cox with vague and unfounded slander - typical liberal lies offered as arguments.

I could program in unique bets. However, as Glassy suggests, this is a bit complicated. I do have more elaborate gaming programs but they are not on our home server; use too much bandwidth.

To: Purl,Glass,bdgee and others who try to see/understand the diff btwn fraud and truth, and why there is so much of the former....so little the latter.
This is my first ever post. It won't become habit as I've never been a speedy typist. I won't suffer fools in a backnforth game of concrete fact vs. their rhetorical gatherings, dissembled offerings and attempts to change focus.
I applaud you and your posting stamina considering the competition has the advantage by numbers. Know that you are being seen and appreciated!
Einstein said, "Only 2 things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."
Art, holding, charger, bama and similar will only cross the road to wisdom if they get their d**k stuck in a chicken! They will scurry back when released for the truth will prove their longheld beliefs to be little more than bulls**t..........and that's hard to handle.
Keep posting good information when you find it. It helps me as I strive to be an Honest/Advanced Human and make a little money along the way.
In keeping on topic, I will make known my opposition to the Cox appt.
