Who wants to bet that Obama and Holder were great First Amendment supporters back in 1992 during the Body Count "Cop Killer" brouhaha?
Sure, even if it's limited to "don't do it, because you'll get the clap!".
Ummm, isn't health a subunit of biology?
And biology is a subunit of chemistry, and chemistry is a subunit of physics. Yet, we still have chemistry and biology classes.
I've never had a class called "health" in my entire education.
That's... saddening. Very, very saddening.
contraception doing in a Biology textbook? Shouldn't that be taught in Health class?
Have you complained to them about the power reliability?
I live in a conservative suburb of a southern city. The state is "blue", hates taxes, and lets the power, telephone and cable companies run their lines on poles. (Part of the justification is that the water table is pretty high, and it rains a lot.) But... my house went more than a year without a clock-resetting power flicker, and that one lasted only a few seconds.
One thing that I do know that the power company does is make an annual drive through each neighborhood looking for tree branches that hang too close to the lines, and then cuts them off. Presumably, they perform other sorts of behind the scenes maintenance, in order to keep reliability so high.
Fascists like you favor it.
These delusions indicate that you need to go back on your medications.
usually by trying to force other people to do things for you.
Gotta love democracy, eh!! Forcing people who disagree with you to do what you feel is right just warms the cockles of your heart...
the premise that it's the job of government to attempt to improve society
I assert that most people want the government to improve society. Otherwise they wouldn't repeatedly vote for politicians who constantly increase the size of government.
Let me then rephrase my original point:
if there were more blacks on the grand jury, and that grand jury had voted not to send the case to trial, then the appearance of voting along racial lines would have been minimized. Remember: perception is reality.
eugenics, and forced sterilizations.
Well, they do seem to be great ideas (kinda like Communism). The problem (which I do not think we can ever solve) is determining rules that do not devolve into racism and pseudo-science and thus terminating perfectly viable genes.
You're saying that...
Absolutely not. You (and silfen) did not pay attention to what I wrote, specifically the parts about "possible" and "ward against".
you're presuming that this is a racial issue
Since I'm from the South, you'll have to trust me that the whole situation is a racial issue.
that both the black and the white jurors disregarded their job and instead just voted based on their political convictions.
Actually, no I'm not. But the appearance of racial voting that would not be there in a more equally mixed grand jury.
to a petite jury, and there are 9 whites, it's possible to vote racially and not send it to trial. There should have been more blacks on the grand Jury to ward against that...
Not that it would matter to the hooligans.
Interesting article, and insightful quote:
Decency and decorum can be liberating. They inconvenience everyone -- a little -- but they also free us from worrying about who we might offend or why.
Greenwald is either a deluded Randroid (but honestly, is there any other kind?) or a front for those pushing corporatism for the sake of those who run large corporations.
Without life, Biology itself would be impossible.
