.357? Have you considered a .50 cal?

Seriously, Mrs. Cooper, kudos!

To Moonstruck – And Finally…Part 4,

Nothing says efficiency quite like “Khmer Rouge” –

Pol Pot (19 May 1925 – 15 April 1998)[1][2] was a Cambodian Communist revolutionary who led the Khmer Rouge[3] from 1963 until his death in 1998. Pol Pot became leader of Cambodia on April 17, 1975, & his rule was a dictatorship. During his time in power he imposed agrarian socialism, forcing urban dwellers to relocate to the countryside to work in collective farms & forced labor projects. The combined effects of executions, forced labor, malnutrition, & poor medical care caused the deaths of approximately 25 percent of the Cambodian population.In all, an estimated 1 to 3 million people (out of a population of slightly over 8 million) died due to the policies of his THREE YEAR premiership. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pol_Pot

And finally – Mao Zedong, commonly referred to as Chairman Mao (Dec. 26, 1893 – Sept. 9, 1976), was a Chinese communist revolutionary, politician & socio-political theorist. The founding father of the People’s Republic of China from its establishment in 1949, he governed the country as Chairman of the Communist Party of China until his death…[H]is rule is estimated to have caused the deaths of 40–70 million people through starvation, forced labor and executions, ranking his tenure as the top incidence of democide in human history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_Zedong

Okay Moonstruck, going for Round 3 here and just warming up!

The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Nigerian–Biafran War, 6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970, was a political conflict caused by the attempted secession of the southeastern provinces of Nigeria as the self-proclaimed Republic of Biafra….The war cost the Igbos a great deal in terms of lives, money and infrastructure. It has been estimated that up to three million people may have died due to the conflict, most from hunger and disease.[23] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biafra_War

Eritrea-Ethiopian Conflict – Eritrea’s relations with Ethiopia turned from that of cautious mutual tolerance, following the 30-year war for Eritrean independence, to a deadly rivalry that led to the outbreak of hostilities from May 1998 to June 2000 which claimed approximately 70,000 casualties from both sides[41] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrea

Zimbabwe – The Matabeleland Massacres, which lasted from 1982 until 1985. Mugabe ordered his North Korean-trained Fifth Brigade to occupy Matabeleland, crushing any resistance to his rule. It has been estimated that at least 20,000 Matabele were murdered and tens of thousands of others were tortured in military internment camps.[43] The slaughter only ended after Nkomo and Mugabe reached a unity agreement in 1988 that merged their respective parties, creating the Zimbabwe African Union-Patriotic Front. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwe

To Moonstruck – Part 2 – Looking at history….

The Rwandan Genocide was a genocidal mass slaughter of the Tutsis by the Hutus that took place in 1994 in the East African state of Rwanda. Over the course of approximately 100 days (from the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana and Cyprien Ntaryamira on April 6 through mid-July) over 500,000 people were killed, according to a Human Rights Watch estimate.[2] Estimates of the death toll have ranged from 500,000–1,000,000,[1] or as much as 20% of the country’s total population. It was the culmination of longstanding ethnic competition and tensions between the minority Tutsi, who had controlled power for centuries, and the majority Hutu peoples, who had come to power in the rebellion of 1959–62. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwandan_Genocide

The Second Sudanese Civil War was a conflict from 1983 to 2005 between the central Sudanese government and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army. It was largely a continuation of the First Sudanese Civil War of 1955 to 1972. Although it originated in southern Sudan, the civil war spread to the Nuba mountains and Blue Nile. It lasted for 22 years.

Roughly two million people have died as a result of war, famine and disease caused by the conflict. Four million people in southern Sudan have been displaced at least once (and often repeatedly) during the war. The civilian death toll is one of the highest of any war since World War II.

To Moonstruck -

However, there is no people on this planet earth who has commited more unspeakable horror on another people, including their own people than white people have commited all over the world.

Let’s see what history has to say….

Idi Amin Dada (mid-1920s – 16 August 2003) was the third President of Uganda, from 1971 to 1979. Eventually, Amin held the rank of Major general in the post-colonial Ugandan Army and became its Commander before seizing power in the military coup of January 1971, deposing Milton Obote. …[w]hile he was the head of state, Amin’s rule was characterised by human rights abuse, political repression, ethnic persecution, extrajudicial killings, nepotism, corruption, and gross economic mismanagement. The number of people killed as a result of his regime is estimated by international observers and human rights groups to range from 100,000[1] to 500,000.[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin

François Duvalier (14 April 1907 – 21 April 1971) was the President of Haiti from 1957 until his death in 1971. Duvalier first won acclaim in fighting diseases, earning him the nickname “Papa Doc” . He opposed a military coup d’état in 1950, & was elected president in 1957 on a populist & black nationalist platform. His rule, based on a purged military, a rural militia & the use of a personality cult & voodoo, resulted in the murder of an estimated 30,000 Haitians & an ensuing “brain drain” from which the country has still not r

Pat – Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It’s good to know there’s someone else in the U.S. of A that feels the same way about Starbucks as I do !!!! I drink my coffee black, no sugar. Someone “treated” me to a cup of Starbucks, totally convinced that I was going to “love it”. I’ve tasted better out of a two day old pot. I did, however, manage to work my way through that cup out of sheer perseverance.

And I also experienced that “mad dash” to the restroom after I shared part of my spouse’s latte. I thought it was just me. You just made my day! Thanks again.
Cheerios Forced to Shut Down Comments on New Ad Featuring Interracial Family

June 2, 2013 at 2:04pm

In reply to hayesstephen.

I caught my breath when I saw the commercial here on the site since my husband’s cousin does have an interracial marriage. The little girl looked astonishingly like their youngest girl and I could all too easily see her doing that very thing to her father. I wonder if the script writers know our family. Had I seen it on TV, I wouldn’t have thought twice about it since it’s normal part of our lives.
Interrogated Until He Wet His Pants and Suspended for 10 Days: This Is What Happened to a 5-Year-Old Who Brought a Cap Gun to a School

May 31, 2013 at 1:13pm

In reply to MidWestWingedOne.

School officials interrogated the boy for two whole hours until he “uncharacteristically” wet his pants, the boy’s mother said.

TWO HOURS???!!!! What on God’s Green Earth can you interrogate a five year old about for more than TWO HOURS about? It should have taken all of two minutes. Principal: (holding the toy) ” Is this yours?” Child: “Yeah, it’s really cool. I got the hat and the vest….” Principal: “Okay, go have a seat over there. We need to call your parents.” Child: “Okay. Can I have my toy back now?”

I hope the parents sue the school district until it pukes for holding the child against his will, interrogating him without parental oversight and humiliating him.
