In the next election blacks must fact an unemployment rate over 15%, abortion, and a perceived moral equivalency that says homosexuality is the same as being black. This brings us to the question: will blacks hold their noses and vote for a man who supports all three of the above positions?

Inquiring minds want to know!

HUH? These people have a high opinion of the moribund downtown they created.

Darrels point has been copied and pasted over the last 2 months or more from websites such as the Huffington Post, the NRDC, several enviro groups on the web that apparently will not be satisfied until we are living like our forefathers. But then again they would not be satisfied with a log cabin because that would cost us trees.

Socialism…brought to you by our green friends in the environmentalist movement.

Lastly, I still have great respect for Sid as a player and as a great basketball mind, but I’m afraid that he was a much better coach on the floor in the early 80′s than he was on the bench the last 5 years. That said, I wish him Monte Towe and all the other coaches the very best and thank them for their efforts on NCSU’s behalf.

No it isn’t. Keystone oil isn’t destined for the US. Observe:

“One of the most important facts that is missing in the national debate surrounding the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline is this – Keystone XL will not bring any more oil into the United State for decades to come. Canada doesn’t have nearly enough oil to fill existing pipelines going to the United States. However, existing Canadian oil pipelines all go to the Midwest, where the only buyer for their crude is the United States. Keystone XL would divert Canadian oil from refineries in the Midwest to the Gulf Coast where it can be refined and exported. Many of these refineries are in Foriegn Trade Zones where oil may be exported to international buyers without paying U.S. taxes. And that is exactly what Valero, one of the largest potential buyers of Keystone XL’s oil, has told its investors it will do. The idea that Keystone XL will improve U.S. oil supply is a documented scam being played on the American people by Big Oil and its friends in Washington DC.”

We need Jobs – We need Oil flowing. We don’t need Smoke and Mirrors. Mr. President do the right thing for the people and built the complete pipeline.

If you support prohibition then you support bank-rolling criminals and terrorists. There’s simply no other logical way of looking at it.

Everybody who supports prohibition needs to understand that there is a human cost associated with this dangerous and failed policy. – Every time they assert their support for it they are condemning thousands more to death.

Every-time the ghastly violence of prohibition is falsely blamed on the users, it diminishes the culpability of those who are truly responsible for maintaining the status quo. Prohibition is an absolute scourge -the end! The use of drugs is NOT the real problem, the system that grants exclusive distribution rights to violent cartels and terrorists IS.

When governments prohibit drugs they effectively and knowingly hand a monopoly on their sale to dangerous criminals and terrorists. Without a legal framework in which to operate, these black-market entities can always be expected to settle their disputes violently, while terrorizing many peaceful and innocent citizens in the process. Were the users of alcohol to blame for the St Valentines massacre in 1929? Of course not! It is just as naive to assume that one can compel all the users of Marijuana or Cocaine to simply quit, as it is to assume that all the users of Alcohol should have stopped drinking after the introduction of alcohol prohibition in 1919.

Nobody can be expected to obey bad laws, like ones that infringe on logic as well as the fundamental right to decide on what medicine or poison an individual adult may, or may not, ingest. The violence and the deaths ultimately arising from such bad public policy should always rest squarely on the shoulders of those ignorant imbeciles who are responsible for implementing and supporting such foolishness.

Some of my favorite MJ songs are the lesser known ones – Little Susie, Whatever Happens, Dirty Diana.

I wish Cirque included Little Susie though – the songs is very theatrical. Very powerful. It can deeply mean the loneliness and isolation that MJ had in almost of his entire life.

Long live the King.

If he is taking note, I’m sure he is smiling with gratitude and appreciation.
