Before you take apart the Permanent Fund as we've known it and give 775 million dollars in credits to the oil and gas industry: how much of the 400 million going into Cook Inlet gas is for the Donlin Gold mine? At least make it a loan with strict repayment schedule. Please... | 00 | not toxic |

why are children wearing HIJAB??
people wear hijab out of modesty. They see revealing one's hair as a form of sexuality...it as though a woman has the power to seduce with her long hair.
Now, here is the sick and twisted thing: by making your CHILD wear a hijab, are you saying your CHILD can be seductive/ sexual?

You do realize that the top 10% of income earners pay over 50% of the taxes, while using less than 10% of government services. And the bottom 50% of income earners pay virtually no income tax - so the top 10% effectively support the bottom 50%

Well, if you look at a chart of US greenhouse gas emissions, they peaked in 2005 and did drop as the economy crashed in 2008, but they also continued their general downward decline as the economy recovered. Government policies (along with citizen initiatives) surely played a role in that.
