| 1417726 | 2016-03-19 03:40:00 | If Joe wants something to complain about, he should go to the universities in America and discover the PC that prevails at the moment. Seems they have forgotten the meaning of free speech. |

| 1417727 | 2016-03-19 05:49:00 | Hey, Cic ---- it's not so much the bridling of free speech, it's the new ultra touchy-feely attitude that came about from the it-takes-a-village deign that made everybody both the victim and the culprit . Where I live, the university and the town in which it is located, is called "The Zoo" - a take on the name of the town: "Missoula" . The problem is that no-one there takes responsibility for any of the things the 10th round draft choices for athletes does to drag the whole place down to a sink . In case you don't follow the 10th round part - it's a draft position assignment that lesser than ivy league and big bux colleges get to use to fill the voids from students that graduated and can no longer play on their varsity and junior varsity sports teams . The 'students' that get drafted are inner city thugs and reprobates that have criminal records and a history of drug or alcohol use to excess . Nobody wants them - they are the bottom of the barrel and since they cannot compete on either an academic nor a sports capacity, they just fill in their time wandering around looking for crimes of circumstance . So - rapes and strong arm robberies are the current matriculated classes, and if they can keep just a slight amount above the minimum grade point average and not get suspended, they can still play - sometimes for five or six years . This is all well and good, but college is usually a four year situation, not counting post grad work . Sadly, the state of Montana rallies to the defense (there's the free speech thing) and protects and coddles their athletes to keep them around as long as possible . I swear --- I have NEVER seen so much frenzy and team spirit than I have seen here . It may be the long dark periods of winter and trying to fill in the time with a good reason to get drunk and drive around town with horns blaring and fireworks all year long . This appears to be the younger people who live closer to the university (the zoo) and 'way down south here in Hamilton, it's not so prevalent . But it DOES exist . So - you're partly right, partly wrong, as the NEW PC is to not say anything about anybody, but it's not the cowboy way - at least not to REAL cowboys . |

| 1417729 | 2016-03-20 01:10:00 | Hmmmmmm. And these 'protestors' are protesting what? Seems to me they are having things both ways. They want Bernie (a far, fat chance of that happening) yet they are espousing the same sentiments that The Donald is saying. They can't have full-on socialism if they want free speech, and yet they also side on not allowing an ethnicity to speak on campus? Big ol' double standard there - wot? |

| 1417730 | 2016-03-20 04:09:00 | With that kind of logic, I can where there may be a chance you will get Trump. I am a Bernie man myself, on the point alone, why has the richest country in the world have people dyeing though lack of treatment and not have a system that covers all, we do here. |

| 1417731 | 2016-03-20 04:42:00 | It's not just the citizenry, it's also the veterans that are having pitiful medical help too . I've been waiting for over a year for emergency knee replacement which now has injured the other (right) knee and the left hip . I'm pretty much crippled and my daily walking is limited to 100 steps or so . I've been to three doctors who say the left knee has to go and now the other knee is damaged, and with every doc, I have to go through the same evaluation again and again, xrays, CAT scans and office visits . Then each prescribes another round of pre-surgical physical therapy - and I get that, but it ends months before any talk of actual surgery is mentioned and then they say I need physical therapy again BEFORE I can have surgery --- and the cycle starts all over again . Right now I have four weeks of pre-surgical therapy going on and another appointment on April 4th for ANOTHER doc to evaluate me all over again when that's done . Drive ya crazy . They should not be messing with people whom they taught to destroy things and kill people . Not me . Somebody is gonna go 4150, and if that happens, then maybe some attention to the situation will come about . Or not . |

Tim Josephs arrived at Edgewood Arsenal in 1968, he knew there was something different about the place . "It just did not look like a military base, more like a hospital," recalled Josephs, a Pittsburgh native . Josephs had volunteered for a two-month assignment at Edgewood, in Maryland, lured by three-day weekends closer to home . "It was like a plum assignment," Josephs said . "The idea was they would test new Army field jackets, clothing, weapons and things of that nature, but no mention of drugs or chemicals . " But when he went to fill out paperwork the morning after his arrival, the base personnel were wearing white lab coats, and Josephs said he had second thoughts . An officer took him aside . "He said, 'You volunteered for this . You're going to do it . If you don't, you're going to jail . You're going to Vietnam either way -- before or after,'" Josephs said recently . From 1955 to 1975, military researchers at Edgewood were using not only animals but human subjects to test a witches' brew of drugs and chemicals . They ranged from potentially lethal nerve gases like VX and sarin to incapacitating agents like BZ . . |
