the families of those killed, we'll ask whether they're fair and whether the current legal structure tempstions to devalue human lives in the calculus of profitabilities. no one's life should become an asterisk in somebody's cost benefit analysis. the death in the high seas act is the exclusive remedy for those killed in international waters. but this law does not recognize all that is lost with the death of a loved one such as loss of consortium, care, companionship. it shouldn't be some kind of a difference with the loss as sea than what happens with the employees of the bp working on land. the disparate adds insult to the families that are victims of this tragedy. ten years ago congress ammed the death in the high seas act for those that parish in airline crashes over international waters. it's time we modernize this law again. later today i'll introduce t survivors equality act to make sure these families are treated fairly. another law that congress should consider updating is the limitation of liability act. it limits a vessel owner's total liability to the post incident value of the

at what you might want to do next, and second of all for many of them as you become a longer term temp, they actually offer health insurance. you may have to pay some, ut it probably won't be as expensive as the cost of cobra. the other thing that i would check is to see whether you're eligible for anything at the state level as a result of being unemployed. i unfortunately don't know state-by-state laws as it relates to health insurance, but perhaps going to them and finding out whether or not there's something that they can offer that may be cheaper than what you're going to pay through cobra through your previous employer. and third of all, you know, just to try to continue to push forward in finding employment that will also give you access to health insurance. those are the three options by take a look at. host: sean morgan, a viewer who calls himself gen-x futurist on twitter, writes should there be a free education opportunity to allow older unemployed workers to pursue a more profittable life off the social security system? we'll put that out there as a comment. let's go back t

temp rir lay close quote and point out the irony of the brutal tragedy in philadelphia, mississippi, and i have been there, mr. speaker, and the new black panthers intimidating voters in philadelphia, pennsylvania, the city of brotherly love. . i continue with the quote. based on my experiences, i believe the dismissal of the black panther case was lawsless hostility. others still within the department share my assessment. the department abetted wrongdoers. the dismissal raises serious questions about the department's enforcement neutrality and upcoming midterm elections and subsequent 2012 presidential election. the u.s. commission on civil rights has opened an investigation into the dismissal of the d.o.j.'s enforcement priorities. attorneys who brought the case are under subpoena to testify, but the department ordered us to ignore the subpoena, lawlessly placing us in an unacceptable legal limbo. the assistant attorney general for civil rights tom perez has testified repeatedly that the facts and law did not support this case. that claim is false. if the actions in philadelphia do
