Yukonjohn, I agree that the traffic circle needs to go. It was just poor planning. I live nearby and have to navigate the circle almost daily and it is backed up almost to No. 6 numerous times each day. I can't count the number of times that I have almost been hit by people that choose to take the Midland Road lane up 15/501 North and then cut into the circle illegally. Of course, they are usually going at least 10 to 15 miles over the speed limit! I have also had a couple of near misses by people coming into the circle off Midland Road in the lane to go onto 15/501 North and cut into the circle as I was trying to exit the circle onto 15/501 North.
No surprise. I worked with attorneys for years in many states and unfortunately quite a few just wait for this kind of scenario. Especially when there is a business involved, most likely insured, and they can go for a big "payday." It is a shame to try and profit from a horrible and senseless crime. Unfortunately, some attorneys have no shame.
As a footnote, though, I have worked with some excellent attorneys. Of course, you never hear about them.
You don't get it, DR. I see there is no point in discussing anything with certain "regulars" that seem to wish to argue with anything anyone writes and purport that their opinion is the "only" opinion of value.
Well, maybe it is time that something was done about that. I think people that engage in that reprehensible behavior need to be held accountable for the damage that they do. It is the worst kind of person that would derive some kind of satisfaction from revealing private information that could result in tragic consequences. When it starts to affect the world situation, something better be done before the damage cannot be undone.
One of my biggest questions as to the problems of our country is why do we continue to feel we must take care of the rest of the world? With our economic situation in the condition it is, why do we feel we need to send millions of dollars in aid to other countries. It makes absolutely no sense. It seems to me that common sense is a strange concept in thinking to our leaders.
Sally244. You are right on. It is the new war zone and may end up being the downfall for all. Obtaining privileged information and then publishing it to stir up an already volatile world, to me, is a form of treason. What if all information that is suppose to be secured and private start appearing over the internet? I don't think I want to be around if that becomes the norm. Much of the world is a ticking time bomb to begin with and this just adds fuel to the flames!
SGMartin, I agree totally that people should be cautious about remarks made about antidepressants. If these medications are taken correctly under the direct supervision of a doctor, they can be life saving and beneficial to the quality of one's life. That is why doses are regulated by doctors until the correct dosage is ascertained. One of the biggest reasons problems occur is that people do not take the medications as instructed. You cannot take them when you feel like it or if you remember. You must take them as directed.

WikiLeaks Caper Not A Big Deal
No, I just don't waste my time with someone that thinks he is always right and no one else has a right to an opinion. Talk about typical!
