Or is it a happy coincidence that the unarmed police-murders of recent years were all black skinned residents of NYC?

Personally I'm pulling for evolution but I would like to see where other people stand and why.

I stand for evolution because there is some proof, and a fossil record. After taking a college biology course it becomes impossible to be a rational person and to deny the evidence.

In advance, if you are just going to ramble about how there is no evidence of evolution, you are wrong. I'm usually a master keeping my questions neutral (when I want to) but saying that there is no proof for evolution is just stupid.

I don't care how you feel about the side that you don't agree with. I just want to hear what you believe should be taught in schools and why.

Good news in Iraq = "would be a problem for us"?
A problem for who?
For the Democrats:

Monday, July 30, 2007; 6:26 PM

House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Monday that a strongly positive report on progress on Iraq by Army Gen. David Petraeus likely would split Democrats in the House and impede his party's efforts to press for a timetable to end the war.

Many Democrats have anticipated that, at best, Petraeus and U.S. ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker would present a mixed analysis of the success of the current troop surge strategy. But of late there have been signs that the commander of U.S. forces might be preparing something more generally positive. Clyburn said that would be "a real big problem for us."

You got that folks? I mean seriously, do you get it? Victory in Iraq is BAD news for the Democrats!

Now can we question their freakin' patriotism?!

Ok, first off, I want to know why we are putting up with this crap? Why are the American people just burying our heads in the sand and not saying anything about getting our troops home!?! Why is it ok for our friends, brothers, sisters, dads, moms, cousins to die for a cause that was never there to begin with? And we've done NOTHING! We demanded that Clinton be impeached for putting his wanker in certain places, but Bush has legally murdered thousands of our citizens and we do nothing....I just don't get it. Don't get me wrong, and think that I'm anti-war, because I was right there with them in the beginning....but I just don't understand now. What is the real truth behind the war in Iraq...and why have we done nothing to stop it!

He is being made out to be such an incompetint that he shouldn't be able to walk and chew gum at the same time,but he is also being accused of causing everything from Global warming to every other evil thing that can be thought of. If he is so dumb, how could this be happening? Or could he be an evil genius like Dr Evil from all the Austin Powers movies? This isn't meant to be taken too seriously. Just don't accuse him of all sorts of evil acts,then try to say how stupid he really is. It is one way or the other.

I don't pretend to know whether it's real or not, but I hope it is a hoax. This is an issue that I would be squarely on the fence about if it weren't for one problem:
Who benefits by perpetuating a myth of global warming? It's clear who benefits from disproving it, but what would anybody have to gain from making the world believe it is occurring? It's commonly referred to as an "agenda," but what exactly is the agenda?

And in an effort to dispel any anger, here is a friendly joke:
Two muffins are baking in an oven at 350 degrees. One of them looks at the other and says "Whew! It sure is hot in here!"
And the other one goes "Oh my God! A talking muffin!"

Obviously with Bush downplaying the strength and abilities of Al Qaeda right now, a terrorist attack on American soil would not be preferential to the Republican party as it would mean that their efforts and the sacrifice of many American soldiers has been completely ineffectual and just a waste of precious American lives and money. If a terrorist act were to occur right now it would not be in the best interest of Republicans to let it be known. That said, couldn't a few well placed small explosives take down a bridge, especially one that is positioned, not only on a major route, but that has also been rated 4 out of 10 by inspectors as far as it's condition is concerned. To me it seems that if terrorists were looking for an easy target that could not only create fear, but also be devastating in sense of American infrastructure and transportation, that this is as good a target as any! Why is there no mention of the possibility of terrorism? Republican cover-up?

If you aren't in bed with the Trilateral Commission, The Bilderburgers and the CFR then you wont become president of the USA. So it basically does not matter whether or not we vote.

Omertà (or a code of silence) has become the final bond holding the Bush administration together. Honesty is dishonorable; silence is manly; penitence is weakness. Loyalty trumps law. Protecting higher-ups is patriotism. Stonewalling is idealism. Telling the truth is informing. Cooperation with investigators is cowardice; breaking the code is betrayal. Once the code is shattered, however, no one can be trusted and the entire edifice crumbles.
Is this what the 29 percenters are hoping for? No accountability from Gonzales, Meirs, Rove, Bolton or any others
