Do you now believe, like Bush says, that he's not a threat?

why do you suppose jefferson felt that it was not only the right but also the duty, of the people to overthrow a despotic government? How would the history of the world be affected if despotism were allowed to reign unchecked?

That gay Senator Craig creeps me out! Why hasn't he resigned yet? You would think these people would support gay marriage and all that! I would be so creeped out if someone did that while I was in an airport bathroom!

How can this man even look his family and colleagues in the eye? Embarrassing!

They all claimed how "moral" their party is, and yet there have been so many gay and gay pedophile Republican Senators and Representatives "outed" in the past year. Have they been lying to us all these years?

OK recently I got a charge for resisting arrest which sounds like a fought back or what have you but I assure that I did nothing of the sort he said " I am taking you to the hospital and I said no I aint going to the hospital" I was then slammed up against a wall and knocked unconscious later to wake in the hospital with stitches from where I was slamed I was also given a notice to appear in court for resisting arrest if I had known not agreeing to go the hospital would mean I was ressiting arrest I would have surely agreed so the reason I ask is b/c this whole thing in my opinion was a big misunderstanding so I am wondering that if I can talk to the officer and explain this to him and tell him that I am sorry for any trouble that I caused him (not that he will necesarily) but does he have the power to drop the charge before I have to go to court for this b/c when I talked to the circuit clerks office today the said it is not on record yet and the states attorney has to file it first

Is this a war zone or something? So many punks and nuts around here carry guns like it's Baghdad or something. What good will a gun do if someone gets the drop on you? It's idiotic. This country is hardly the kind of place you need a gun to survive. There's cops everywhere! It's not like the colonial days where you had to fear Indians in the wilderness!

I think a lot of people carry guns because they think they're cool and tough. I think carrying a gun in this kind of society is stupid, because if you are trigger-happy and end up killing an innocent person, you are in for a world of legal hurt! I don't want to ban guns, but I wish less idiots would carry them. I'm sick of losers bragging to me about being armed. Good for you John McClane...

Nobody said today's Republicans did not do similar things that the slave owners did hundreds of years ago.
Most jumped to the defense of the Republicans then and said great things about Abe Lincoln. On both counts they are right but I have been to Springfield, Illinois and there is a constant rumble in the ground as Abe turns over and over when he sees from above the slave like actions of the current Republican party. If Abe were here today, he would go back to the Whigs.

I plan on going into the Pasadena Superior Court on Friday to resolve this matter. Basically, I kicked a womans car during a road rage incident after she cut me off making me nearly crash into her. She got out and I tried to take of and she had jumped into my car by running up the hood as it was a convertibIe. I dropped her off immediately and drove away. A week later I went and spoke to a detective about a month ago regarding this and he acted as if it was no major deal. I got a notice in the mail today saying I need to surrender to clear my warrant. Will I be after I see a judge? Or will I be released after I clear the warrant, meaning going to the court house. The Bail amount is $50,000. Can anyone provide some feedback and let me know how bad this can be or is?

If you live your life angry, then, you will be outraged by undocumented.

If you live your life in fear, you will be scared that "they" will take over and you or your descendants will be without.

If you live your life with love as your guide, you can feel empathy for others and possibly will relate to the undocumented on a sympathetic level.

If your brain rules, you think about it.

IF your heart rules, you "feel" it.

ETC.

What is it that guides your life? Are you so interested in being "right" so that you can win? How does your stance on undocumented people edify what your ethics are?

And, FYI: undocumented:
1. lacking documentation or authentication.
2. lacking proper immigration or working papers.

Immigrant:

1. a person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence.
2. an organism found in a new habitat.
