Ron Paul - A second look

todaytop — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 06:20:46 +0000

Congressman Ron Paul (R) is running for president.
We had dismissed him as a long shot, yet as he is getting more and more support online we decided to take a second look.
Ron Paul is refreshingly frank, we can not help liking him.
Listen to him here:

Carol Muecke Says:
August 19th, 2007 at 12:04 am eI have been watching the Today Show for MANY years but am getting closer to going elsewhere.
I am a 62year old female that has to fight her husband every day to watch the show. Ihave to say that I donâ€™t enjoy Merideth even 10% as much as I liked Katie. There was such a good feeling when she was there, everyone had such fun and it just clicked.
Thank-you for having the segment on Elvis,as I too am one who still misses him and canâ€™t get enough of his â€œeverthingâ€.
There are other things I would like to discuss:
Not finding the recipies from the show as in the past, especially Richard Simmons,
Really enjoyed seeing the Osmonds again itâ€™s been far too long,
Would like to vote for couple #4 but also canâ€™t find the link and canâ€™t afford to text message.
You have many segments on fashion but I think you forget that there are millions of people out here that are not up to your â€œstandardsâ€. We live on $1000.00 a month (yes 1 thousand) and watching you push fashions or any other items for hundreds of dollars is very hard to watch. You obviously donâ€™t consider that. We may be living at what so many people consider the â€œpovertyâ€ level BUT we are not poor or dirty. Maybe one day youâ€™ll send someone out to try and see how so many of us â€œliveâ€ happily. Vacationing for $50.00 or less is something we do ALL the time, try it some time you might just like it.
I really enjoy watching Matt, Al, Ann and waiting to see Lenny and Einstein in the crowd.
Have never done this before, thanks for giving me a chance!

Featured Comment: Birth Plan Story

todaytop — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:12:28 +0000

Tammy Says:
August 14th, 2007 at 1:44 pm eI was really disappointed and annoyed with your birth plan story aired this morning. It really seemed to be one sided and defeating. There was barely any background/info given on why women are choosing to creat such things, just that they want to â€œmicro manage.â€ Thatâ€™s really poor. Most women who make a birth plan realize they need to have some flexibility but feel the need to set certain expectations because labor in general has turned into a drug fest. In comparison to other places in the world (i.e. Europe) the U.S. has a significantly higher epidural rate and cesarian rate. Pitocin use has also trippled in the last twenty years. Itâ€™s getting ridiculous. Our culture teaches women to fear birth and the â€œtremendous painâ€ associated with it. Other cultures donâ€™t regard labor in such a manner and their women deliver naturally, by choice, and complication free regularly. Why is that? Doctorâ€™s rush to cesarian delivers far to often in the U.S because they fear lawsuits. Itâ€™s better to get the baby out under their control than risk a potential complication later. While on the surface that sounds like the right thing to do, when you dig deeper you begin to realize that often times the surgeries arenâ€™t necessary. There was a study done recently that compared the Apgar scores of babies who had cesarians after the doctor determined the baby was in distress to babies who delivered vaginally. The results showed that the babies were healthy and showed no signs of distress. Also, pitocin use to augment labor is also far too common. Labor takes time and unless there are obvious complications, a womenâ€™s body should be given what it needs during labor - time and control. I canâ€™t tell you how many people I know that have been told things like â€œletâ€™s see if we can move things along with some pitocinâ€ after only a few hours. They get the drug, which is then followed by an epidural becaues it causes so much more pain, and then they often need more pitocin because the epidural slowed the labor, and the wheel continues to spin. Women are vulnerable, nervous, and emotional during labor. Unless theyâ€™ve educated themselves and taken a proactive role in their care ahead of time, they are left to be dictated by their doctors. It should be joint decision making, open communication, and an environment of options, not a dictatorship. Creating a birth plan allows the mother to be an advocate for herself and sets a stage of expectations and/or preferences. I think most would agree that everyone involved with the birth wants the best for mothers and babies, but that does not mean that one must succumb to drugs and surgeries when itâ€™s not a true medical necessity. A womenâ€™s body was designed to birth. It most often has everything one needs to accomplish this taks and we should be more inclined to allow the natural experience to be just that - natural. A birth plan coupled with the appropriate support (i.e. husband coaches, doulas) often allows women to be more successful in accomplishing this goal.
