  • My first wife claimed that she just wanted french fries. ….that’s were it all starts. ….but it ends with them getting half of everything.

  • Why would a 6 year old girl have drugs stashed on her body? Everyone knows that you smuggle drugs using condoms inserted inside of you. Shouldn’t there have been a cavity search? …and why did she trip off the drug sensor? Maybe mommy carelessly got some residue on her. …bad mommy!!

    I would have thought that we would have had some laws against this by now. Airport security and building security in general is all for show. It doesn’t stop anything. I can come up with 100 different ways to smuggle anything I want into an airport. …and if you think about it long enough… so can you. This “security” makes us all a little less free. …and in that respect, the terrorist are getting what they want. Fear at the airport… needless fear.

    …and why is there no security on trains? …like you can’t blow up a train? The whole thing is just silly.

  • Maybe the judge is just a pawn. There may not have been a real dispute at all. …just a plan to get something like this on the books for the future.

    What’s going to happen when some Islamic stranger beats your wife because he could see her ankle? He’s going to want that tried by his Islamic laws.

    Other countries have already been through this. …we need to learn from their mistakes instead of making them ourselves. This is not the time to be PC.

  • Shall song and music be forgot

    When workingmen combine,

    With love united may they not

    Have power almost divine?

    Shall idle drones still live like kings .

    On labor not their own;

    Shall true men starve, while thieves and rings

    Reap where they have not sown? .

    “This song, to the tune of Auld Lang Syne, is sometimes sung in American Federation of Labor meetings.”

    The above is from a 1941 Time magazine article. (Monday, Sep 22)

    Can a Union Parody of Auld Lang Syne really be considered worthy of being added to “American Songs” It wasn’t a song at all… just lyrics rewritten to a famous song at the time. …and the content of the song is a horrible message to have kids pounding into their heads over and over. …to build fluency. “America the Beautiful” was what we were taught about in school.

    Why did they put in a different title? The original title should have been “When workers combine” by B M Lawrence. However, I still can’t find any reverences to the song itself other than a history project made into a book talking about it. (For democracy, workers, and God – Labor song-poems and Labor protest) This textbook footnotes it as being in the “Greenback Songster 19”. I can’t seem to find this book or any reference to it anywhere. …or any other references to B M Lawrence. (Other than BM Lawrence railroad in Maine, which is just a touch ironic considering the writer was writing against the railroads in the original poem/song.) Was this really an important America Song? …other than the fact that it was picked up by Unions in the 1940′s and sung to Auld Lang Syne. Did it even ever have its own melody?

    The author Clark D. Halker says, “…the members of The Chicago Labor History Group…forced me to think about my subject in ways I had previously avoided.“ ”UM library managed to locate materials that seemed impossible to find… offered proof of devine intervention”

    I did notice the union theme going throughout the whole book. Where can I get a copy of the Greenback Songster to verify the footnote? (“Trust but verify”)

  • I noticed that there is something very strange going on in the section of the book under “American Songs”. The last song is titled “How the Workers Can Be Free”. This sounds shady enough… I was very interested in the lyrics for this “American Song”. It must be pretty famous historically to be included in this book.

    I did a search by typing “How the Workers Can Be Free”. ….I came up with only 2 hits on that search. …and they both were links pointing back to the table of contents of this book. This song obviously does NOT exist in the real history of america.

    Can somebody please find out what the lyrics for this song are that are printed in that book. …and any other information they say about the song. It‘s very strange that that phrase doesn’t get any hits that point to the lyrics.

  • Take your foot off the brake people. It’s amazing how fast you gain control of your car after you take your foot off the brake. You people are just locking your wheels and turning your cars into sleds. What do you think is going to happen? Obey the physical laws of nature. A 10% grade is not that much of a hill. …and you don’t need a 4×4 or AWD or snow chains to get up that hill. Slip it in 2nd gear and go. You can go up and down that hill all day long.

  • When do I get my money back?

  • It’s true. We spent billions of dollars creating utopian “projects” for poor people to live in. If they had these great communities, surely they would all grow children of the highest quality. What happened? The swimming pools were filled in and paved over with basketball courts. (true) The nicely manicured lawns turned to dirt. Windows shattered, doors broken, high crime. …and now we can’t knock them down and bulldoze them fast enough. The project failed. Let’s quit all this costly experimenting and just let us keep our money.

  • Van Jones lives in a world where all NBA players are 5′8″. …all sprinters run the same speed. If someone is running slower than you it‘s only right to slow down and wait for them so that they don’t feel bad. Boxers will just stand still in the middle of the ring and throw no punches. Then again…competition is evil. …so yes, all people would be physically alike. We would be bricks not stones. We would be slaves. …but we would have a guaranteed annual income. …enough to barely dress and feed ourselves. …but what else do we need? Don’t you see how truly free that would make us? …of course Van Jones and a well chosen few would get to remain rich. …when the middle class gets squeezed, make sure you are on the rich side of the line.

  • He‘s speaking to students who can’t imagine trading their lives with someone else. Why? …because they have pretty good lives. Why? …because they can see that they have a pretty good future. Why? …because they are doing the work to get education. Some will get good jobs, while others created businesses and give jobs to others. These people should look at both sides of this story. The true definition of Social Justice is the distribution of advantages AND disadvantages within a society. That means that if you are lazy that someone will take away some of your disadvantages and give you someone elses advantages and you didn’t even have to earn it. …or if you are doing great then someone will come take away some of your advantages and give you someone elses disadvantages even though you didn’t do anything wrong. Ayn Rand wrote a book and Van Jones wrote a book. One book was a little bigger and well thought out than the other. …shouldn’t they both get the same amount of money for their books? …even if one sells much more? Shouldn’t a percentages of Rands profit go to Jones? I can’t believe we can even be debating this in America. Educate yourself, earn your own money, keep your own money.
