Far from being worn down bye the past few years, Bush seems empowered. His self-confidence is the most remarkable feature of his presidency. It's so clear to me, i have trouble understanding why it is unclear to everybody else.

Is a revolution in order? Has the government taken step to prevent such a thing from ever happening? As a 21 year old college student I watch the history channel and see revolutions in the past happening for much less issues! Our Public servents are no longer servents but puppets to the growing gap in economic differance.

In comparison to life imprisonment w/o the possibility of parole, the country spends 2 to 5 times as much on people sentenced to death as opposed to people sentenced to life imprisonment ($2 to $5 million for death sentence; $1 million for life).

There are no credible statistics to proove that death penalty deters crime.

The brutalizing effect, says that when the government serves as a model for appropriate behavior, justifying death penalty as a solution to a problem teaches its citizens that killing someone is a solution to a problem.

Fact shows that predatory murderers have lesser brainwave activity than people who kill out of passion. People who kill in crimes of passion aren't fully aware of the severity of their actions. If you have lesser brainwave activity, you couldn't comprehend the severity of your crimes either.

Still believe in the death penalty?

no this is not a joke,if u think they are right wing nuts why are the democrat presidential nominees talking at a convention for the daily kos.is there any group of people more hatefull than that far left smear site.why no uproar from the left,is it beacuse they are scared to offend the far left causing that base to turn on them and lose votes.if rudy guliani spoke at a david duke convention it would be all over the liberal bias media every day 24/7 and we all know it.daily kos is no different,so if thats the suppeort democrats want why not a ticket of limbaugh-coulter?

I know that our president has made some unpopular decisions, but why is it necessary to call him out on his faults. I'd like to see some of these Bush bashers take over for a few months and watch them get burned out under all the pressure. It's not his fault that he can't please everyone. If it were Kerry, someone would be bashing him too! I'm not saying that we should agree whole heartedly with every word that comes out of the president's mouth, but shouldn't the president be respected because of the position he fills?

Its sad that all the "heroes" these days are either entertainers or atheletes. Politicians these days are on the same level as tv evangelists.

We COMPLAIN about ABORTION being leagle BUT don't want to SAVE the LIVES of the CHILDREN we ALREADY have. Why don't we IMPROVE the QUALITY of LIFE for the CHILDREN we ALREADY have then MAYBE mother's WILL NOT consider ABORTION because things will be BETTER for CHILDREN. There was a lady whose child died of cancer even though she had medical insurance because the insurance only covered full time students. But having cancer she couldn't be a full time student. So the insurance company just let her die. We can't make up the excuse that sick children dying is God's will because God is the giver of life and the Devil is the giver of Death and disease. So don't pull that one. Also, I think it's selfish to say that you don't want your tax dollars to pay for someone els. That is so unChristian. JESUS gave everybody all he had.

A guy started working with us for one day and is filing sexual harrasment charges on me because I showed my testicles to a group of guys whom he was a part of in a joking manner and he took offense. He quit the next day and told my boss his grandma died and then went to hr and gave this story. Does this guy have a case? He spoke with hr and they are pulling people in one at a time to ask about the incident. Any advice?
