| Is anyone around here familiar with this condition? I have been for the past two weeks trying to figure out just what causes a minor shortness of breath and a feeling of tightness in the throat. It seems to come on in spurts and seems to be associated with anxiety, and I started to think at one poin... |

| The central problem with markets is the fact that they misallocate prices. At the high end of the scale, markets have a tendency to push investors to take risks that are often dangerous to large sections of society. Take, for example, the fact that almost anything that is beneficial and healthy for ... |

I learned to ride a bike probably when I was five or six. I started out with training wheels and just progressed into riding a two-wheeler. I learned it quite quickly, if I remember right, despite the fact I have eye-hand coordination trouble.

| Joe Barton is an ultra-conservative from an ultra-conservative state. If one was to do research on him, you'd find out he's a typical oil and war pig, who has done contract work for Atlantic Richfield Oil and Gas Company before entering office. He is also profoundly anti-medicaid, and has stated tha... |

Maybe for anxiety, depression, or something that tends to be comorbid. But, for aspergers itself, there really are no medications, and I wouldn't really take any mind-altering drugs.

| "Reverse racism" is a term coined by primarily white thinkers to justify the fact that they themselves are racist. It gives them a lot of credible evidence to justify themselves as having racist thoughts, because then those that are different become the racists. By doing this, the associated white p... |

| Illegal immigration is not a problem, and it has never been. The United States needs illegal immigrants, because then it can shove down costs and hire cheap labor. Let's face it: illegals won't complain to the labor boards, because they're too damn afraid they'll get deported. See, Americans are cu... |
