Aging infrastructure in major U.S. cities, yet they want to blow up and rebuild Iraq.  Which is going to get blown up anyway, great logic...

No, I'm going with the Laboomba boys.

If not, it's got german ex-stazi guys written all over it.

might be claimed by algerian separatists or basque nationalists though.

7 people dead, 60 injured, over 50 cards in the water.

I am amazed, as I am seeing the video of the bridge on just how bad the damage is. I also heard that many, many people - police, fire, rescue and normal people rushed out and did whatever they could do take care of people.

Sometimes you take your loved ones, good friends, family for granted ....  sometimes they just want to hear that you care before it is too late...

I'm just hearing about this on the news. So tragic!  :'(  A few of my business partners are in Minneapolis!

I want to call them right now to make sure they're ok, ...but it's 6:30 in the morning, ...and if they are OK, they don't need me calling this early waking up their newborn baby. I wish it was 9am or 10am already

Isn't it good news that the school bus didn't go over?  :)

yeah, we should just pack up and leave, because it is has been getting hard...  Sounds like some one lived his whole life with his tail between his legs.  It will take years to get our troops out of Afghanistan and Iraq, so you are saying that we should just cut of financial support of the troops like it is a wounded limb?  You my friend have the ethics of a coward...

yeah, unfortunately there is always going to be opposition.  Most of the people that say that sort of thing don't really have a solution to the problem they are just complaining...  Brutal truth about their lack of knowledge about financial expenses in federal republics! ;D ;D ;D

Yes.

There was a funny episode with a german singer, Herbert Groenemeyer. He complained about how bad politics were, how germany was killing off africa with monetary and economic policies and the environment and that politicians made everything wrong.

The leader of a big german party made an appearance on TV the next day, smiling and saying, he would gladly offer Mr Groenemeyer a seat in the Bundestag (german parliament) through his party after next elections, then Mr Groenemeyer could try and change all that.

Needless to say, he declined the offer.  ;D ;D ;D

That is disturbing, ...but at the same time, it gives complainers a reason to shut up.
I know every year here in Ontario, everyone complains about all the amount of money spent repairing roads.
But at the same time, it's incidents like this that hit you square in the face, and you have to consider the alternative. You either pay now, ...or pay very dearly later.

I just glad that no one I knew was caught in that. I reached Nancy yesterday, and it turns out her and her hubby were both in Wisconsin at the time of the collapse, ...and all their friends & family are safe & accounted for.
