What a load.........how exactly did Stevens die for OUR freedom, or even for the freedom of the Libyan people, which they enjoyed BEFORE we destroyed their country and their future.
Companies pretty much get executed if they are breaking the law in a serious way and their CEO's are responsible in the same way parents are responsible for their children..
But the household isn't a person, the people in the household are. Why is this a tough one for you to grasp?
Dara McQuillan, a spokesman for Mr. Silverstein, said that the $12.3 billion represented $8.4 billion for the replacement value of the destroyed buildings and $3.9 billion in other costs, including $100 million a year in rent to the Port Authority and $300 million a year in lost rental income, as well as the cost of marketing and leasing the new buildings.
While Obama was more forceful, his "explanations" and "plans" were absurd. He was simply rehashing the same failed policy he has suggested over the last four years.
NO NEW PLANS! JUST BE PATIENT! ALL IS WELL!
I wonder how America, with record unemployment and citizens on foodstamps will buy the rhetoric of "all is well"!
What an embarrassment.
here's another embarrassment:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Fox News that she takes responsibility for any consulate security failures that led to the deaths of the four Americans in Benghazi. Clinton made similar comments in interviews with multiple networks Monday while visiting Peru.
But while acknowledging that Ambassador Rice and the intelligence community were wrong in some of their initial assertions about the attack, Clinton blamed that false narrative on the "fog of war [and] the confusion that you get in any kind of combat situation."
has anyone told her, ambassador rice, and obama that they are not in a "combat situation"?
they are overseeing an embassy, and evidently not doing a very good job.
again, if she is taking "responsibility" why isn't she stepping down, or why isn't obama having her step down?
what the heck does that word "responsibility" even mean anymore in america?
But the household isn't a person, the people in the household are. Why is this a tough one for you to grasp?
That actually disputes your argument, considering households file taxes together just like a corporation does. Ever hear of husband/wife filing as one tax return?
Oh really? Is that why BYU is referred to as "Breed 'em young" university? Why every mormon woman I know that is married with children don't work? I have good friends that are not Mormon that were raised in SLC and live there now, things haven't changed.
Because maybe that is a choice they made? Maybe it's what they want? I stayed home with mine when they were young and was grateful my husband supported that choice. Women's Liberation was supposed to be about the right to make choices for their own lives instead of being forced to do something - whether it was working at home or outside the home. Maybe they have different values than you. By the way, about half the LDS mothers I have met work. Stereotyping is generally not a good practice.

Yes, I remember the whole thing, paid close attention to it, and that was because Silverstein was leasing the buildngs, that company had a lot of money invested in it, but at the end of the day the buildings were still technically owned by the Port Authority, which is a bi-state government department.
Obama: Leading the charge of equal pay for women!!
Quote:
April, the 2011 annual report on White House staff revealed that the median annual salary for female White House employees was 18 percent less than male employees — $60,000 compared to $71,000.
And in 2008, Scripps Howard syndicated columnist Deroy Murdock noted that as in Obama’s U.S. Senate office, women were paid less than men: While the average male staffer brought home $54,397, female staffers averaged $45,152.

Yes, that is called joint filing between two people legally married. That doesn't make the household one person or a person, it just means there are people in that household.
If no one works for a corporation, is it still a person?
