    Citibank is deducting money from your account for some educational pursuit without asking you? That's incredible. I hope you do pursue it.

    There is no way you will be able to eradicate smoking unless you put a death sentence which isn't coo. I guess we just have to live with these promotions and hope it doesn't get to the foreign youth.

    I have Citi NRI account for th epast 10 years with Citibank. Recently I noticed a deduction of INR1.44 for some educaiton cess and not sure why and its deducted based on the service charge.. When I called the customer service, they begging "sir its just one rupeee sir and its going for education..." Iam not sure whose education is going and where and when and how.. so I asked to confirm if I authorized to deduct the amount and they cannot able to provide a proper answer even after 4 days. Try to reach some managers and that indain call centers no managers at work! US Govt paying big bucks for bailout money to citibank and no managers!
    Waiting for resposne from the managers and lets take a legal action on Citi! Its un-ethic to deduct amount without knowing customer. Its called cheating, robbing in plain words!

    I have been following you Mr. Potter early on in this debate re health care... I admire your courage to speak out and I respect you tremendously. The tremendous amount of criticisms that have been transmitted via the airways do not in any way reflect the majority American view in this regard. I strongly believe that our media has failed us in a big way by allowing the untruths and misrepresentations to occur on the large scale that it has. It's my view the media has been paid a handsome sum of money to do so. This is why the President, who should be allowed to focus on many other issues facing our country, has had to get out there to communicate the message of the importance of health care reform directly to the people himself. I have written to the President many times to applaud him in his overall efforts since taking office. The intelligence he demonstrates every time he's in the public domain reminds me why he is and should be President. What I find to be increasingly unacceptable and disgusting is the nonnews and fact-driven content full of misinformation that is communicated on a daily basis through our media. I hope this issue is addressed with some sincerety and urgency NOW. Again, thank you for your voice and your honesty. Now that I have found the website, I will check in frequently. thank you, Jacque

    Responding with violence is giving these elements of the American right-wing exactly what they want - a fight on their terms. It would also mean a suspension of any real public discussion on global warming based on facts, which is again, what I suspect these elements really want.

    I agree that they must be monitored and documented.

    But the moment the rest of society cedes the debate/discussion/problem-solving components of our public discourse - however flawed they may be - to the right-wing, then we've all lost. We must never resort to violence as a means of winning any debate, but we must not also let hatred and violence get in the way of said debate.
