The tax which will be paid for the purpose of education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance - Madison

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain. - Adams

It becomes expedient for promoting the public happiness that
those persons, whom nature has endowed with genius and virtue, should be rendered by liberal education worthy to receive, and able to guard the sacred deposit of the rights and liberties of their fellow citizens; and that they should be called to that charge without regard to wealth, birth or other accidental
condition or circumstance. - Jefferson

Why would Columbia University award a speaking engagement to a man who sponsored a "Hate America" parade in his own nation? Does anyone else find this vile and disgusting and downright asinine? If these people think they can debate him and or win his heart they are sadly mistaken. Columbia, this man thinks you are a bunch of ******* and he's playing right into your bleeding hearts...WAKE UP!

Does it remind you of another culture, far, far away of say Oh, the middle eastern muslim kind?
Could it be that the CONS have more in common with radical muslims than they realize?

last night i was at my friends house with a few people, and basically ended up hooking up with this girl on my friend's couch. next thing i know, i feel someone pulling me and punching my head and it was this guy that my friend had invited. evidently, the girl i was hooking up with had sex with the guy trying to kick my *** recently which i really had no idea about until after. my friend's brother was there and pulled him off and kicked him out.

my problem is im not sure if i should press charges or file a complaint or whatever because we were all intoxicated except for the person assaulting me and the brother that pulled him off.

what should i do?

Can't they be satisfied to hear his lies and hate on the news....? They have to have him over for tea?

Is Columbia a sign that liberal america is opening the doors for the final destruction of america?

They will do anything, say anything to remain in power.
I've heard more about GW Bush being more of a democrat than a republican in the last two weeks that ever.

Does anybody else find this pathetic. Nixon passed a social agenda why don't they pass him to the democrats too!

MoveOn.Org is, of course, a politcal group that depends upon its membership for seeking its goal. MoveOn received 15,000 new membrs, and, $500,000 following the ad in the Times being held up at the Senate hearings almost 2 weeks ago.

I expect Republicans will use this to vilify the Democrats, instead of limiting the disdain to MoveOn itself, but, from a trategic point of view, who wins?

Chris Wallace Fox News. Now, Sunday am. When asked will you run he states after a week of workshops he is sending out advisors to see if the public will back him. And if he can get up to 30 mil for a decent campaign. What would you say?
Hillary was on also. That is another post. More flip flops. It started with Bill's finger pointing last visit on set with Chris Wallace.
Thanks.

meanwhile zanax, valium and all the other drugs pharmaceutical companies are forcing down our throats have ruined lived and killed people. i say do away with the drugs that can kill people and simply replace them with a drug that won't seriously impair someone.

as far as taxing weed, you can sell licenses. say $50-$100/ year to "possess" under and ounce and $1000/year to sell or manufacture it. seems like it would be more profitable to sell license to everyone rather than fine less than the 2% of users when they catch them.

I am going into the Nuclear program as of now. My ship date is February 6, 2008. Is there any way to get it moved up to an earlier date? Also, if not, would I be able (if I really wanted to) choose a different job where I could ship out earlier? At this point I don't really want to change jobs, but I can't stand having to wait four months before going to boot camp.
