I personally liked the storie about the woman that is sueing Google maps.
Because she decided to go down a highway in the middle of the night on foot, and then got hit by a car!!! HE! HE! so don't follow the yellow brick road.
You'll understand if you watch the video.

Re: Jesse Jackson: What the h377 did he say? All I heard was "blub-blah rhetorblc, blahblub proflubh, ciblphl rots, ad nauseum. I have always thought him to be an inane character, but also think we should take him seriously enough to keep an eye on him, because there are a whole lot of highly educated idiots and uneducated followers who would follow him into the flames of perdition if he said to.

Sadly, this past weekend one of our daughters-in-law showed her true feelings, and she might just be one of those who would follow him. We try to not get into political discussions with her or her family because they are rabid libs, but inevitably, something will lead us down that road to some extent - they do like to argue, and poke the bear. Well, after getting a good head of steam up over the AZ law business, Mrs. R said to her: "Well, I guess that means you're a socialist?, and like the idea of just giving everything you work so hard for to anyone regardless of whether they earned it or not?". She answered: "Yes, I do. Why should someone who has no opportunity do without? We shouldn't even have borders. Everyone should have the same "choices".". I still am having a hard time with that one; she is very highly educated, advanced degrees in education, and pre-doctoral work in sociology and psychology. Where did she get her ideas? She is a bleeding heart liberal. Auugh! This is giving me a belly ache.

Unfortunately it was the college students and recent college grads that carried Osama through the election. The younger generation as well as the dyed in the wool lib's just wanted "Change" no matter what the cost and change they/we got! The purple koolaid was following on all the college campuses starting in 2007!

And these are the type of people that we entrust to educate our children and grandchildren? As Mrs. Gump so eloquently stated "Stupid is as stupid does".

Assuming that this forum group is relatively representative of our society the odds are we have a handful of genuine racists in our midst. When I say handful I mean a really small number. I would bet that many of you are not racist, but also don't buy into the P.C. definitions that dominate our national narrative. In fact I'd bet some of you are downright mad that you have to feel as though you are wrongfully accused of being racist. The good news is your numbers are growing. For years the charge of racism has been a discussion stopper. That's precisely why those who throw it out willy-nilly have used it to excess. They don't want to confront the issue logically, they only want to force you (perhaps shame you) into seeing things their way, or at worst shutting down opposition to their view. For too many years those of us that don't subscribe to their view have let them get away with it. Confrontation avoidance. Confrontation is uncomfortable for most. But like the fable about the boy who cried wolf, the folks who've abused the term racist have worn out it's significance. That's unfortunate for those times when genuine racism does occur, but then that's the point of the fable. More and more folks are realizing that if they refuse to accept the lable of racist, it won't stick. It does take some intellectual effort to counter those claims though. The best defense is a good offense.

As for young people seeming to embrace what we normally refer to as "socialism" there's good reason for that. From the moment they pop out of mama they're on the dole. Food, clothing, shelter, all provided to them for no effort other than whining and crying. Relieve themselves whenever and wherever..........no problem. This state of dependence lasts until it doesn't (how's that for profound?). But that's literally true. The better a parent prepares their offspring for self sufficiency, the better the chance their views will change when they have to fend for themselves. Some don't of course. Those that don't seem to be folks who are predisposed to seeing the world through eyes that seek symbols rather than real outcomes. Perhaps the word utopian should apply. These are the folks who tend to follow "leaders" who make great sounding promises/ideas, never taking time to evaluate the actual outcomes. It makes them feel like they are a better person because they want everyone and everything to be the same. They NEVER stop to think.........."When has that ever worked in the real world?" Equal outcomes have never occured because different folks have different talents thus making different inputs. Different inputs = different outcomes. Seems like a simple concept...................well, apparently not.
