    Is it possible that the people behind the Swine Flu are the powerful Mexican drug cartels who are angry about the Mexican president's crack down on them? Wasn't the first alert during Obama's visit to Mexico City? I think it's too much of a coincidence. I think this is what' s happening. Revenge from the cartel's.

    You guys are real gutless turkeys. You run an absurd article on 'Hate in the Age of Obama' and then shut down the comment section. I guess the overwhelming hatred that your magazine and other liberal pundits poured out onto President Bush was not actually hatred but an effective means of exercising disagreement with the political positions of the president. But whoa!!! Now that the Messiah has been elected anybody who does not agree with him is a hater! We better run an article describing a typical group of these haters. We all know that only KKK sympathizers object to Obama's policies! I will host a party the day your magazine goes bankrupt.

    Whom ever is responsible for The Dignity Index in the May fourth issue has the scale reversed. Playing a game of shaking a baby to death cannot begin to compare with voicing an opinion on marriage The baby game should have measured 100++++. Peggy Powell Bismarck, Mo.

    Obama asked for $1.5 billion to fight the swine flue, and I think he is right to combat the the disease before it evolves into a really major problem. I think that the United States can achieve a lot of strategic goals through similar foreign aid programs. The U.S. should be doing way more to address the Millennium Development Goals. The plan to end world hunger has been getting seriously ignored.

    $30 billion: Annual shortfall to end world hunger.

    $550 billion: U.S. Defense budget.

    Re: the Dignity Index. Newsweek should be "utterly shameless" for only rating Apple's "Baby Shaker" game as only "mildly tacky" (this related to teaching about the value of life, guys!) whereas the use of namecalling by Perez Hilton as "utterly shameless" just reflects back on a lack of respect and personal manners (important, but not to the point of life & death, people!)

    ???Only banks can loan money they don???t have and charge interest for it. Because the elite who own
    the banks made it a policy that the bank can loan 10 dollars for every 1 it actually has.
    That is what created the current financial mess or as they say problem with liquidity.
    They created the problem by loaning money they did not even have to loan.
    Dishonest usury is what it is.

    Full disclosure of banking policies would be nice lets have it all put on the table for every one to
    see just how corrupt they are taking food and housing from people who work hard while they sit
    in there penthouses reading about bank bailout's. No don???t feel sorry for them feel sorry for the
    people who are being crushed under there feet from the dishonest usury.

    Most people had to give a down payment before 2004 for a home and if you where considered
    risky you had to give a bigger down payment.
    For example
    on a loan of 180,000 with medium to low risk you would fork out 7000.00 to buy a home.

    Now what does that translate into for the bank.
    The banks can loan 10 dollars for every 1 dollar they have and charge interest for the loan.
    win - win for the bank
    1 = 10 for them right off plus interest
    7000 = 70,0000 plus interest
    then you have a payment of 750.00 or so with interest on the loan
    750.00 = 7500.00 plus interest per month as you pay in for them
    1 year of payments = 90,000 plus interest for them to loan to others.
    so if you put 7000.00 down and finance 180,000.00 they get repaid in one year with a payment of
    750.00
    Sounds strange but remember 1 dollar is as good as ten to them for every dollar they take in they
    can loan 10
    So don???t feel sorry for them and bail them out. Bail out the public who just keeps paying not
    knowing any better.

    If you paid a down payment on your house and then you paid on it for even a year you paid it off
    in the banks books. 30+ times over if you paid for 30 years.

    After the first year they use your money to pay there salaries of 22 million for 22 days on the job what a joke.
