POLLS POLLS AND MORE POLLSMay 11, 2014
The breakdown is hard to follow here, but it's one of the polls in favor of keeping OCARE and/or improving it. Predictably it runs along partisan lines - 6 in 10 Repubs with a thumbsdown. The polls will go back in forth I'm sure but a firm majority say keep it or improve it and I  see that majority growing as time goes on. ...

The elections' first round got under way at 8:00 am (0700 GMT) across 101 "departments", which control issues such as school and welfare budgets.

Hitler - I Assume This Is The Right Place To Put ThisNov 27, 2009
I have one of those extremely analytical minds that wonders about so many things.  I must have been a really annoying todder because I'm sure  I asked the word "why" too many times. I was watching something on the History Channel on Hitler and how he wanted to build a master race - blonde hair and blue eyes - the exact opposite of who he was.  So did he not consider himself part of the master race?  I wonder how many people in Germany thought the same but were afraid to ...
