A world renowned nobel peace prize winner believes much of the troubles of the world is related to the false assumption that the races are equal. The following is his quote.
"All our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really"

SO IS THIS THE END OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION?

Alrite today i wuz home alone and was watching tv. so all of a sudden, my doorbell rings and this comcast guy is there and asks me what kind of cable i have. i told him i dont know and he said that he had to check to make sure and if it was legal and if it wasnt he would have to call the cops[i got kinda suspicious of him right there]. im 15 and i wuz home alone so i didnt want to let him in my house so i told him i would show him around back since the dish was outside anyways. so i went to the back door and was surprised there wasnt a cable car anywhere near my home. i asked the cable guy where his car was and he was like "what?". so i asked him what company he worked for and he was like "i work for comcast" n he held up his licenses thingy. So i showed him the dish and he took a couple notes down. then he just thanked for my time and left. I was wondering if i can check w/e he was a real comcast worker or was he planning to rob me or something. all answers welcome

I don't know Hillary's experience. She's never run a city. She's never run a state. She's never run a business. She's never met a payroll. She's never been responsible for the safety and security of millions of people, much less even hundreds of people. So I'm trying to figure out where the experience is here. It would seem to me that in a time of difficult problems and war, we don't want on-the-job training for an executive. The reality is that these are areas in which -- maybe there are some areas in which she has experience, but the areas of having the responsibility of the safety and security of millions of people on your shoulders, is not something that Hillary has ever had any experience with

Cons used this single quote to bash Hillary:

'You know, I'm going to start thanking the woman who cleans the restroom in the building that I work in. You know, maybe that sounds kind of stupid, but on the other hand I want to start seeing her as a human being.'"

HERE IS THE QUOTE IN CONTEXT:

1993 New York Times magazine piece (interview by Michael Kelly)

"If you break down the Golden Rule or you take Christ's Commandment - Love thy neighbor as thyself - there is an underlying assumption that you will value yourself, that you will be a responsible human being who will live by certain behaviors that enable you to have self-respect, because, then, out of that self-respect comes the capacity for you to respect and care for other people.

how is it possible that a debt collector can charge up to 100 - 500% more for a debt. Is it even legal for them to do so. I believe that for them to do so it should be agreed by me or I should have some say in the process in which they arrive at their conclusion that I owe so much more than the original amount I owed before being turned over to a debt collector.

Clinton Proposes Big Grants for Family Leave
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday proposed giving $1 billion in grants to states that enact paid family leave laws and said that she would support requiring employers to provide workers seven days’ annual paid sick leave.
Mrs. Clinton, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, also called for expanding the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act, which protects the jobs of workers who take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave. The law covers businesses with more than 50 workers. Mrs. Clinton would lower that to 25, covering an additional 13 million people, her campaign said.
The ideas are the latest parts of Mrs. Clinton’s strategy to cement women as the cornerstone of her support, but her call for an expanded federal role in labor activities drew fire from business leaders, who called her proposals onerous.
Business representatives said state laws on paid leaves were often so broad that they risked abuses like demands for paid leaves for minor health concerns. In addition, the federal law on unpaid leave continues to concern some critics because some workers take leaves with short notice or are difficult to replace.
“Extending the unpaid leave act to smaller employers will just create more problems, especially when the definition of a ‘serious health condition’ is so extremely broad,” said Randy Y. Johnson, vice president for labor issues at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
Mrs. Clinton’s advisers said they would work with Congress and industry to expand the federal law with an eye toward flexibility and supporting the needs of small businesses. They said Mrs. Clinton would also support guaranteed paid sick days through new legislation, a program that has had Democratic support on Capitol Hill for some time.
Mrs. Clinton also proposed tens of millions of additional dollars for block grants for child care programs.
Together, the new proposals that Mrs. Clinton announced yesterday in New Hampshire would cost $1.75 billion a year. The campaign said the government would cover the costs by establishing a single definition for a tax shelter that would ultimately yield more than $2 billion a year, according to a Congressional estimate that it cited.
In her New Hampshire speech, excerpts show, Mrs. Clinton recalled her days as a mother and lawyer. She described a “gut wrenching” moment when she had to appear in court when her daughter, Chelsea, was sick. A family friend filled in for the baby sitter.
It was the sort of personal anecdote that Mrs. Clinton is highlighting this week, a week that her campaign has devoted to appealing to working women and mothers.

Choices are:
Lee Harvey Oswald
Richard M. Nixon
J. Edgar Hoover
Fidel Castro
Nikita Kruschev
The Mafia

I add that if Lee Harvey Oswald did it with a $15 6.5mm Carcano rifle he would have been a bona fide idiot. An M-1 Garand semi auto 30-06 rifle was available for about $125 by mail order in 1963. Why not splurge and get the best and a rifle he was well familiar and trained in the Marines to shoot?

I think the others I mention, though not directly pulling the trigger are much better candidates for placing the order.

I was told that if you called tech support & they outsource the call to India or another country and you can't understand the person you're talking to you can ask for someone in America and they have to transfer you?

I have been having an ongoing battle with HP for MONTHS about them charging me for something and then promising me twice they were refunding the money and then they never send the refund. I called today to talk to someone about it- couldn't understand a word he was saying and asked for an American and he told me "No. I'm not transferring you because I don't desire to and you call to me you talk to me."

This has been going on for MONTHS and they've promised I'd have my refund in 2 weeks and when I call back they say "Oh we never said that.." Who do I complain to and HOW?

Do you think any of the democrats who signed the letter of protest to Clear Channel CEO Mark Mays even listened to the program?

Mr. Limbaugh was talking about "phony soldiers" who claimed to have been in the military and in Iraq but were not either one.

Just shows another Democratic ploy to tear down the truth.

Original letter is being auctioned on eBay proceeds to be matched by Mr Limbaugh and donated to the The Marine Corps - Law Enforcement Foundation which encourages the spiritual, moral and intellectual development of children through education. The Foundation was formed in February 1995, by former Marines and law enforcement personnel who strongly believe that our nation's most precious resource is its youth.
