This would have been when she was still the "smartest lady in" Arkansas before she was the "smartest lady in the world" and shortly after she FAILED the DC Bar Exams and moved to Arkansas to be with her faithful and chaste spouse ...

It could very well be (and even these days it is very likely) that all of these people are indeed dangerous criminals. What happens as people grow more accustomed to this though? What happens when political division reaches the point that these types of programs are used to find legitimate people for persecution? Remember Cadre Members! Double Points for turning in a family member today! Sound far-fetched? Would you have believed it in the 80s if someone told you that cigarettes would be banned in bars? That the government would force you to bring hazardous materials into your home by telling you what types of lightbulbs you can and cannot legally use? The greatest tyrannies are always perpetrated in the name of the noblest causes.

We can easily kill bacteria but viruses are known to be relatively immune to our attempts at killing them. Thus we have the difficulties with viruses like HIV and Ebola when they do make it into population centers. (Behavior aside, once the viruses are contracted, they are difficult at best to get rid of because we cannot kill them) Still, I clearly remember Lysol advertising that it "killed" the H1N1 virus and I was told that back in the states, there were actually two disinfectants that supposedly killed this virus. Is the virus so impotent that it can be easily killed with a can of lysol and if so, why should we worry about it so much. If some medical miracle has taken place and we now have the ability to kill viruses, why isn't it being brought to light? Apart from that and as for any vaccinations, you can take your needle and shove it ... just not in me!

Personally, I am a product of our public educational systems but had my education supplemented by a Historian, (Grampa) an English Teacher, (Grandma) and a Post Graduate Studies Professor (Dr. Ma ... who despite her liberal leanings sees the way things are going) and I would stake my reputation on the education I received at home any day of the week but the education I got in schools? Well I had to drop out of University or be failed because I questioned the right of the professors to preach and profess their opinions while blatantly ignoring facts or encouraging any evaluation based on anything more than emotions and what they "thought" about the subject matter ... so for staking my reputation on my "tenure" in public education ... not so much!

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 14:01:18 +0000 http://bigjournalism.com/jhudnall/2010/02/13/the-child-molester-scandal-that-wasnt/#IDComment56795215 http://biggovernment.com/publius/2010/02/13/abraham-lincoln-a-house-divided-against-itself-cannot-stand/#IDComment56794160 I see there are still lots of misconceptions about Lincoln. Even in his own papers he freely admits that he never intended to save the slaves, free them or anything else and did actively oppose the freedom of slaves during his tenure as a senator in the fifties. (And in fact, the slaves in the Northern States were not freed until December of 1965 some six months or so after the war ended and more than two years AFTER the slaves in the South were freed) Additionally, he clearly stated if he could "save" the union without freeing a single slave he would do so. Toss in on top of that the fact that both Lincoln and Chase freely admitted to perverting the constitution in order to "save the union at any expense" and it starts to become clear. The tenth amendment does protect (or at least was written to protect) the right of the states to secede from the union. As for the war of Northern aggression, once the Carolinas did secede, Fort Sumter was effectively foreign soil. Not only did Lincoln not abandon the fort but actively sought to reinforce it and that attempt to reinforce a fort illegally held on foreign soil was what led to Southerners having no choice but to stand their ground or cede their lives, their fortunes and their Sacred Honor without so much as a whimper. Apart from that, given his belief in the Bible and what I have read about him, I have no doubt that Lincoln was in fact a good man and I believe I would have probably gotten along with him. However, there is a reason behind the saying that the road to hades is paved with good intentions ... those that dare to oppress us for our own good will do so in a clear conscious and be ever more willing to further erode our rights and liberties "for our own good". Unfortunately, we find ourselves in something of the reverse situation this time and it will be interesting to see what the ultimate outcome will be. I daresay I do shudder to think of the cost no matter what the new "final solution" may be or which side wins. The times they are indeed changing and as used to be commonly said, they are becoming "interestinger and interestinger".

When left untarnished by government regulations that drag them down to the least common denominator, the corporations will always do what they can for their consumers. It is government who is having a problem answering to anyone and sadly, that is one issue that does not seem to be restricted by party lines. Why is it that the same party government that gave GM and Chrysler ownership to the Unions in favor of the stockholders (People like you who have a 401K and a vested interest in seeing the corporation succeed) also gave us NAFTA and CAFTA and higher taxes all of which took more jobs overseas leaving a major gap for us here at home in job opportunities for we the people? Why is it that Union scale wages drive prices up to pay for union administrators when the average consumer is going to buy the cheapest products ... meaning now more of those products that are made overseas where they do not have to support outrageous union administration fees that take more money from the worker than they ever give back? Why is it that more money is spent on Union administrators than on teachers and students and then those same unions are allowed to donate that "administrative" money back to the same politicians who then give them controlling interest in private corporations? Is there no conflict of interest to be seen there?
