Voted absentee. Cant even find the numbers of votes for third parties. Surprised they even use the ink on my candidate.

That won't happen until a Libertarian or a Libertarian minded candidate is elected. Closest we got was Ron Paul. Not close enough. And if the name Bob Barr was even mentioned today by a major news station, it was about how pathetic his numbers would be...

There's usually school board and local elections in the off years though, right?

I promise, I wont attack you. Always so much hostility here, seriously guys, its not necessary this time :rolleyes:. First off, if you need more money, go full time or get your medic! What's holding you back? Second off, are there other companies in the area? Sure, you like the one you're at...

Well, a Driver Training Shift finally opened up, and I'm going to be starting tomorrow night... I already started, I was one of only about 6 of the ~40 members here over a four day weekend this semester, and got my 3 shotgun shifts out of the way that weekend. Tomorrow night I learn how to...

Better late then never? Here's me the summer after High School... And here's me a few weeks ago. Note the rediscovery of the haircut, the dieting, and the beautiful girlfriend.

That's not necessarily true. At least in New York, the EMT-B program has slowly been absorbing bits and pieces of the EMT-I program here. If you didn't know, NYS has 4 Levels of EMT: EMT-Basic EMT-Intermediate AEMT-Critical Care Technician AEMT-Paramedic I think that the state is...

Clean Energy is though to explain. I really can't back up why I feel that is fair game even for strict constitutionalists, but that's how I feel.

I already voted, via absentee. I'm at school and wont make the trip home just to pull the handle. For me, both of my candidates lost in the primaries. I was hoping for a Bill Richardson vs. Ron Paul. Now that would be the presidential race of the ages. An experienced governor, congressman...

Same here. Once all the EMT's pass a test were putting one on our rig.

I have asthma, so the flu can be life threatening for me. Trust me, it's not pretty. Does the shot get me sick? Yeah, sometimes I feel sick for the next few days, but if I get sick sick, then I'll be really hurting, so I suck it up and take it. Plus it's free through my college.

Paper Mache? Messy, but you could paint them multiple dragony colors... Or get sheet metal and cut it into scale shapes and weld it, that is if you can weld and have access to cheap sheet metal.

Great, you chose paid EMS, then don't complain about wages.

That's great, and if you can support that there, then great. Other parts of the country need volunteers because they provide a better service in their area. And these volunteers will continue doing this service until either their area urbanizes, or disappears. Volunteers have a place in...

Same here... My department sponsored me to take my course. You mean your department didn't sponsor you? I didn't say volunteers were the ONLY people who were compassionate. I meant Paid Services who station 45 minutes away from rural areas, let people die who could have been saved by a...

My god its like arguing with a wall. I don't understand why people say the things they do... Thanks for backing me up as well.

Seriously, first off you complain about wages being low, then you say that there should be a paid service in these rural areas... Which do you want? Higher pay or no more volunteers, because I guarantee there aren't enough people in some of those counties to supply a company with steady income...

If you cared about the people around you, you wouldn't make them wait a half an hour for an ambulance. If you really want more money, then don't take a job that people will do for free. And don't blame people for volunteering. Volunteering is selfless. If people didn't volunteer, what would...

I don't get the Paid EMS is threatened by Volunteer argument. In my hometown, the nearest ambulance is 15-25 minutes away. So the paid guys don't feel there is a need to be so far out of the city. That's fine, but then don't :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored: when the volunteer...

The city, or the rest of the state? I live in "the rest of" the state. :D
