Negatives and Positives

Negative:
Would you ever believe Republican Sen. Bill Frist? Not me. Frist, who once diagnosed Terri Schiavo's mental capacity from a videotape, and is under investigation for insider trading, now has something else to say. You may want to believe him, but I don't. According to USA Today, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, standing firmly with the White House on the administration's eavesdropping program, said Sunday he doesn't think new or updated legislation is needed to govern domestic surveillance to foil terrorists...

Thank you for your opinion, but we are not interested in it. According to the Washington Post, there are 325,000 on the terrorist list. I am sure that includes about 50,000 infant names. Something needs to be done to stop our government's domestic spying without warrants. However, with the Republicans in control in the White House and the legislative branch, nothing will get done to safeguard our liberties.

Positive:
MSNBC has an encouraging story about UPS and those big brown trucks. UPS, the package delivery company, is taking real leadership in the areas of saving energy costs and helping the environment. UPS will be adding hybrid electric trucks to their fleet. Way to go, UPS! We can only hope that this bold move by UPS will inspire other companies to take on similar initiatives.
