what-if, don't be so antisocial and selfish. It's for the children, and it's not like you can raise children without a village (or massive government). The people have spoken!

Oppose S4779 and A6702 which permit ALL present and future vaccines and drugs for sexually transmitted diseases to be given to New York children WITHOUT parental consent

· These bills remove parental rights for all New York parents

· If a child has a drug or vaccine reaction, the parents won't know what is happening or how to help

· These bills apply to ALL children - there is NO age limit

· A child's has a limited capacity to understand pharmaceutical drug and vaccine risks and identify side effects they may experience

· Unknown vaccine administrators don't know the child's medical history, vaccine contraindications, allergies, and past vaccine reactions

· Children unknowingly are giving up their legal rights when asking for a vaccine because Federal law (PL 99-660) removes liability from vaccine manufacturers and doctors for injuries and deaths caused by vaccines

· The HPV vaccine, which this bill would include, has already been associated with thousands of reactions and dozens of deaths

· The open ended language allows for any future vaccines for STDS to be given without parental knowledge or consent - coming soon and already in the research pipeline are vaccines for Syphilis, gonorrhea and HIV

Oppose A0778 which legally forces the controversial and sometimes dangerous vaccine for the sexually transmitted virus Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) on 6th grade New York schoolchildren

· New York's vaccine exemption laws are inadequate and don't allow a parent to refuse this vaccine if they don't want it for their child

· Safety issues: thousands of young girls have experienced serious vaccine reactions

· Not Necessary: Less than 1% of all cancer deaths are from cervical cancer, cervical cancer is preventable by regular screenings, and 90% of women who contract HPV clear the virus on their own

· Efficacy Questions: While shown effective in preventing genital warts in adults, clinical trials were conducted on fewer than 2,000 girls aged 9 to 15 years old and the studies were far too short to show that the vaccine even prevents the HPV transforming into cancer

· Cost Issues: This is one of the most expensive on the market ($360 for 3 doses not including administration fees) costing taxpayers millions of dollars for the Medicaid reimbursements to fulfill the requirements of this mandate
Please Act NOW: The Codes Committee vote on S4779 is this Tuesday February 9th. Let your New York State lawmakers know these bills are unacceptable!








Vaccinations should be the parents decision, not the states!

I guess I did stir some discussion after all.
I trust it will get better as time goes on.

I think a 3 piece suit at Burger King works! It's all about the shoes...
gotta have the right shoes!

I'm still drinking the grape Kool-Aid that Jim Jones hooked me up with many years ago.

Good single malts are my choice also but not easy to procure during the PC. You have a hard time getting close to the actual bar in most places.

I only drink 12+ year old single malt Scotch. Will I be able to participate in this "Pub Crawl"? I should mention I also prefer not to hang around proles (I avoid Walmart and IHOP whenever possible). Is the "crawl" still an appropriate place for those with refined taste and a vocabulary above 100 words? I would like to see the voting public in action, to reinforce my distaste of democracy, but I don't want to stick out like a three-piece suit at Burger King.

Why not set up beer taps on "our" new public land- Hidden Brook and the Camp and they can Pee in the woods.

/m31902 Well Fonzie, slim pickings on the Pub Crawl discussion. I guess if we want to stir the pot on this one, we might need a bigger wooden spoon. Like maybe a boat oar!!

 **FOOTBALL** Go BLACK and GOLD....

Cops drink for free!

Fonzie, the city send the Pub Crawl organizers a bill for last year's police overtime. Was it ever paid? If not, what are the ramifications for this years crawl?

So what do you think folks. Will there be a "Pub Crawl" this year?
I understand that "Moroneys" has applied for a permit to hold a "Gay & Lesbian" fund raiser for that day.
It should be interesting if he is turned down for that permit. Could there possibly be a demonstration at City Hall? We'll have to wait and see.
I just don't see how it can be stopped. If a group of people choose to walk from bar to bar in Beacon behaving themselves as to not cause any trouble. There is no cause to stop them.
People congregate in groups all over town and they are not chastised. What, is there going to be a limit of how many people can congregate at any place that sells beer or alcohol in town for that one day? That seems unlikely.
It should be very interesting how they proceed this year.
Very interesting to say the least.
The worst thing that the City Council ever did concerning this event was to stick their hand into it. They should have left it upon the organizers to set up the participating Taverns and have the Police do their job concerning open containers and unruly people anywhere in town. Their fines would more than pay for any Police overtime.
But, as I said we will see what happens in the coming weeks.
Enjoy the discussions.

Shame on you America: the only country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed without eating, elderly going without needed meds, and mentally ill without treatment - yet we have a benefit for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations.
