    I've got to wonder if half of the people posting have ever had a meaningful relationship with someone outside of thier own race.

    I think what the author was implying and this was a theme that she entirely missed is that Parents for generations have been looking to give the Job of parenting to someone else. The Schools failed miserably, so now people are offloading their children to Cooperate America, a trend that some find disturbing. The problem with this article is that the author got caught in that damn bookstore to begin with, and got stuck on a point counter point under a magnified glass. The best way to attack the argument is to broaden it, which is what most have you have …

    Kimberly, I would like to thank you for what you did for your friend, I know neither you nor him, but taking on burdens of your friend to help improve his and his childrens life is beyond respectable. Its good to know that community isnt dead. I allso agree with your living in the real world comment, I know a lot of people who shop at Walmart because, well the prices really are that low, a the couple hundred dollars they save there, they really need. Survival is something that people(myself included at times) are generally too quick to criticize. …

    Redhorse has a classic point that has been being made for years. I was 13 when I started asking why the Congo wasnt news, but the president's affir garnered 24 hour news coverage. I'm 17 nearly 18 now and it just seems to have gone down hill. I've been digging for years, but being informed can drive a kid nuts, lol. I'm not sure if Jon Stewart will go down as the Jonathan Swift of our time, but he is doing a hell of a Job at what he does.

    Laws to suppress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit. This is the fine point on which all the legal professions of history have based their job security.

    Seems odd to use this fungus, considering half the crops they spray are food anyways. Sounds like a fun way to increase gain imports in the 3rd world. (cough cough, Indiana) Seriosuly, when was Cocain ever a serious issue in Indiana?

    I'm not sure if we really have anyway of stopping our government of doing anything. It all want down hill when we lost the right to yell fire in a crowded theatre.

    well the fact is that passenger sometimes finds a skunk, this seems pretty skunkish. Too bad the democrats didnt think of it tho, because they would have done it if they had the imagination, then I would be reading this in the National Review.

    It seems were still stuck in the past. We talk about the lies and mistakes that got us into the war, but are seriously lakcing in any escape stragity. Were stuck in the past and need to look forward. What we need is a plan to take out the Republicians.

    Not so sure it matters who won this year, I think the selections them-selves showed a little balls by Hollywood. If they had picked anything but Crash it would have been a nice little protest what ever they were deciding to Prostest, but they copped out. Still all the selections (even Cras kinda) were movies that made people truly think beyond a superficial level(well maybe not Crash)..... Why did they pick Crash again? Munich was safe enough, I mean Spildburg directed it, and every one loves him. Why Crash? Damn
