No to quibble... but:

1.) Noting the populations of BC & Washington would really only be relevant if you noted the number of vaccines delivered to each, not just one.

-and-

2.) "All British Columbians who need and want to be immunized"... how, and by whom, is need (as opposed to want) defined in BC? (Clearly you must both need it and want it, not just want it.)

BENTT-

Dude! You have a remarkable gift! Downward bent cocks are super hot! Nothing's better for deep throating (they slide right down) and nothings better for hitting the prostrate doggy style!

No way would I laugh at your tool. I'd worship it.

Hell... About time. the First Transcontinental Railroad, which was Authorized by the Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 and 1864 took less time to build. It opened for through traffic on May 10, 1869. It took Seattle how long to put rails from downtown to the airport?

Hey! Here's an idea...
How about instead of contributing ~$600,000,000 a year to the UN and ~$37,100,000,000 a year to Foreign Aid Assistance ($10.6 billion private & $26.5 billion government spending) we spend it to at home to end poverty in the USA?

@9

Where is the EIS for these "Rapid Ride lines" and the "modernized rapid electric trolley bus system"?

Right... Because what Seattle really needs is more consensus building...

So... Obama = No Coat Tails.

And Independents are skewing right, not left. Even in Liberal New Jersey. (Interesting.)

I predict health care reform either goes back to the drawing board or dies.

The Blue Dogs will be to concerned about their own re-election prospects next time around to do anything too aggressive this year.

Nov 3 You_Gotta_Be_Kidding_Me commented on What Must Be Done About Financial Institutions....
Chuck,

Maybe so, but that's not how US regulators see it. They prefer to do the opposite and force larger banks to acquire large failing banks.

Case in point: Bank of America's acquisition of Merrill Lynch.

Even though he expressed misgivings about the acquisition of Merrill Lynch Federal officials pressured Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis to proceed with the deal or face losing his job and endangering the bank's relationship with federal regulators.

Richmond Federal Reserve President Jeffrey Lacker threatened that if the acquisition did not go through, and later Bank of America were forced to request federal assistance, the management of Bank of America would be "gone".

Ain't regulation grand?

Left to the devices of a free market Merrill Lynch would have failed or been broken up into smaller banks (like you want). Instead it was rolled into an even larger bank by its regulators.
