Because after all, there is no petroleum products used in the computer equipment you are using, nor in the harvesting or manufacturing and transmission of your electricity, or in the manufacturing of your clothes, etc. I guess you do have the market cornered on brains here.

Interesting how I submit a list of Nixon's accomplishments to show that he DID have positive contributions and it was immediately deleted by the administrator ?

"Which begs the question: "Are the horrendous and long term effects of combat getting worse these days, or are we just finally beginning to come to grips with how costly in lost futures war itself is?" "

I suspect that with the gains in medicine and medical care both in the field and the ER, a very large number of our wounded today would have never survived during Korea or Vietnam. This would certainly account for a portion of the increased numbers seeking aid.

It's been a long time, and my memory may be wrong, but it seems to me the government had approached him and asked him to infiltrate / befriend the white supremacists and report back to them. He refused and brought on their wrath. They had a friend / acquaintance of his take a shotgun to him and ask him to cut it off at the mark on the barrel that they had placed there. Yes, he should have measured it and refused. It also seems to me that I remember he was a white separatist as opposed to supremacist. Again, I could be mistaken but I do remember that they set him up and he and his family got screwed.

Also, the sniper made a 200 yard shot through the window in the front door that was open and the wife was standing on the front porch with baby in arms behind the door ( if you are shooting from the side ). Most good hunters with modern scoped rifles can shoot minute of angle at 200 yards. The shot was nothing more than murder in my book.

First the city said they would not provide one, so she buys one and now the city say's they will provide one. THEY should make up their mind.

"Prosecutor Sue Baur says charging Cassandra Kennedy might discourage girls from reporting sexual assaults."

How about discouraging girls from lying? This girl did not report a rape, she "fabricated" a rape. I also note she has been an "adult" for 5 years and is only now confessing? 5 years the man could have been free.

She belongs in jail.

Actually, I just went to the list and did a search and Nation of Islam is not listed, nor is Louis Farrakhan, the term Black Separatist or La Raza.

Agreed. We’ll start with any bat that has any black colored material around the grip area. We’ll randomly call these “ assault bats” and we will criminalize the possession thereof. Later, we will simply broaden the definition until we include all bats. This violence has to stop. It’s for the children!
