'At no point did any juror argue that the defense had made a strong enough case to acquit.' Just like I said, he was guilty before the trail started anyway with such a media hype... anyone who studies decision making and persuasion will know, your mind is literally made up from the outset. Everyone suffers from intellectual materialism, and your idea is a possession. To change it requires a rare composition of very uncommon character narcissistic traits. Two fundamentally human traits here work against Read More...

Ms Gomez: A double standard? Well now, let me tell you. I love my nation enough that I will not open it how to break up with someone you love just anybody who walks in. I love my nation enough that I expect those who enter to be willing to obey my country's laws including the entrance laws. I love my nation enough that I demand those who enter pass a health physical so they do not bring in any contagious diseases and I demand they learn English as spoken in America so they can enjoy the economic Read More...

No one with such a deep and long-standing non-relationship with reality has the capability either to learn quickly what mess we are in, what we need to do about it, or develop leadership skills list skills worthy the name. Obama must go. That's all. There is no saving him or advising him---except thorough a very long, initially painful process that would take him several years to complete even if he is willing. This is no time for on the job training for someone charged with the most important job Read More...

The big needs are long term relationship term energy alternatives, effective education, water, and sewage updates for the future. Governments are involved in funding all of these and in setting policies for them. Things will change only when policy makers start thinking and investing for the long term - decades to replace and upgrade decades old investments. Politicians and most business people think short term, maybe 2-3 years. We need thinking ahead for at least 25-100 years. We need long range Read More...

Matthew, only your hypothetical question is ridiculous--not least because you continue how to meet new people embrace an empty statistical argument. If capital punishment were banned, not a single innocent person would ever be executed, and the guilty would still meet justice, in the form of lifetime incarceration. When capital punishment is allowed, the guilty meet justice, but murder and other horrible crimes continue apace--and innocent people are likely executed. And that's OK. Don't worry yourself Read More...

Oh look - its the tag-team building activities for the workplace from the Daily Kos outing themselves as lefty supporters of Obama! Well, no - the dangerous Liberal Left are: Lee Harvey Oswald, the left wingnut communist who assasinated JFK, The Anti-Business communist who flew into the IRS building in Austin The Lefties who surrounded and murdered 57 people - including women and children - in Waco (Clinton and Reno). The mob who mugged the two Republicans leaving Brennan's resataurant in New Orleans, Read More...

Thanks for your sane critique, Lionel. Pakistan's crazy antics against India over Kashmir, as well as its antics against Afghanistan, are both rooted in a deeper preceding issue - the Pashtun problem. It's the Pashtun problem which led Pakistan into conflict with India over Kashmir, and which led Pakistan into conflict with Afghanistan as well. And now this same Pashtun issue has led Pakistan into conflict with the United States. The Pashtun problem completed pre-dates all these other conflicts, Read More...

I've been sleeping 6, 5, now closer to 4-5 hours, putting a dog to sleepll my life (less and less the older I get - I am now 52). There's so much to do! If I go to bed when my wife likes to - around 10ish, I read for up to an hour, then I am up by 1:00, at the computer, catching up on one of the two activist groups I head, read, blogging, etc. I go back to bed for round 2 at 6:00 or so, then up again by 8:00 naturally. Oh, but don't try to wake me when I'm asleep. When I do sleep, I sleep very deep, Read More...

I am thankful that my sons were educated before this corruption of legal rights occurred. One of them has his own son who faces this unfriendly world some day. Maybe things will have changed in 13 years when my grandson is college age. My three daughters saw none of this alleged harassment at work when they were college students. One of them, still a student, was startled when she saw a football player who had been pursuing her on TV, charged with sexual assault. She had had no such experience with Read More...

The new regulatory framework should remain forever unfinished. It was not designed to stabilize the economy, only to centralize control of capital markets in Washington. Stop and think about it for a minute: who is better suited to run capital markets, the smartest and most self-interested people in the country, or people whose skills are using mass improve communication skills to lie to us to manipulate us into voting for them? And the mediocrities who populate the Washington regulatory agencies? Yes, Read More...
