Often, and addressing the story, there is an and knowledge of that, and then no detail, and you move on. Andersonville has a name brand recognition. The public often doesnt know any of the details beyond the name and that something unusual took place there. Host lets start with the basics. When was it built ...

And that speaks to the two of them in quite frankly not the flattering ways. With the army does the work of using the captured records, the death records that they have with them, with that expedition, hos dorance atwater, he served as a clerk in the prison hospital, and he was one of the halfdozen boys who were keeping the death register, other records of the hospital complex. So, for one of the bravest acts of conscience in the entire civil war. In midaugust 1864, when 100 men are dying a day,...

The deadline. So andersonville is also a place of great contradiction. In some of the northern prisons, it is a ditch or a line of posts where at night they put candle lanterns on. A line that if you cross you are going to get shot at is the sort of thing which soon shouldnt have any ambiguity. Host the next call is mike from california. You are on with our guest, eric leonard.

Lifestyle decisions as they go forward. Whereever they dont spend, they should be able to say. They should be able to save. We will give them Real Transparency to decide which Health Care Provider will provide the best value. Health care providers will be more accountable for results, and they will really compete to design the new ways to deliver care.

Reported and known that the french have seen many people leaving their country going to terrorist training sites and returning almost on a regular basis and then they are supposed to be monitored. And we hear that the monitoring doesnt go so well. What do you know about that . Well, we know that and several european countries, not just france, the system of letting people in and out is very liberal. We have the european community, et cetera. And you have a porous borders where people could quite...

So, given what you have heard today, several phone calls guest let me guest lets hear the question first. [laughter] guest i know where you are going. Amp said that when you have stagnant or contracting economy, what politics consists of is pitting one group against another, fighting over a sinking pie. That is what you are saying now.
