Governmental control on economic commerce is a typical cell mate to socialism.

I didn't realize how recent an issue legal slavery was in some countries. 1981- I was alive when slavery was still legal there, and it seems that despite the laws on the books their legal system still protects slave-owners.

After reading a website about the Sabbath it appears that man is the lord of the sabbath so there's no massive theological with working on it, but there was a cultural problem. In fact quite a part of "Capital" has Marx dedicated to arguing that people shouldn't have to work on the Sabbath, so you're right there.

I wish I could say that it didn't surprise me...but sadly, I can't.

I see lots of buzzwords...for something that's in place for decades in the American government...only thing that still worries me is Homeland Security, but that's for a completely different reason and still luckily, I live north of the border.

Your guide would cause more deaths =P. As for the disease, that is certainly a strange one.

I will use as effective a rebuttle as your assertion:
Nu-huh =P.

911 Call Transcripts
These were the 911 transcripts of the calls related to that case down in Florida, where the 17-year-old teen was shot by a member of neighborhood watch. It was in his father's fiancee's neighborhood, and the kid was unarmed and was coming back from the convenience store with a pack of skittles he'd gone out to buy.
The police are refusing to arrest, saying they believe this was a case of self-defense on the part of the shooter. Read the 911 calls, and the statement from the girl the teen was on the phone with, and see what you think.
Edit:
Article
discussing the "stand your ground" law in Florida, at the heart of this case, and what the effects have been since it passed.

Ugh, really? They took it seriously?
Teacher tells a student who wouldn't stop talking that she would duct tape his mouth shut and made a comment she was going to look for the tape...and she get's put on paid leave? WTF? What the hell is wrong with people now a days.

I had my mouth taped shut when I was a kid. I thought it was hilarious.

There was once a teacher in my high school who got asked to retire early because of something he said to a student. I think it was, like, 10th grade, and this girl came in with this really tight t-shirt that said "Got Milk." Our gay male chorus teacher say the shirt, and asked "What does that mean? Are you lactating?" Personally, I can see how it's not a great choice in comments, but I don't know that it was harassment.
We had a science teacher who once strapped a student to the chair with his belt. The class, including the kid, thought it was hilarious, and from what I heard they actually proceeded to change places with the kid every time the teacher turned around to write something.

She was a teacher; I really doubt she was actually going to do it, since she would have gotten fired if she had.

Mrs.Miller was the name of the teacher that taped my mouth shut. It was a joke the whole time. That class was so much fun.

One of our teachers didn't get any flak at all for going around tickling 15 and 16 year old girls (he was like 60), drawing their portraits and signing them "Love Mr. B."
In fact, the only teacher that ever got fired for anything got a student pregnant. Or at least that was the rumour.

Just gonna say here one more time: The teacher asked the student twice to stop talking; if anyone needs to get a smack on the wrist, it's the kid.

I'm surprised no one has any opinions of the Trayvon Martin case. There are like 12 articles about it today on CNN.

I thought the Toulouse shooter should have said all his victims had skittles, then he would have gotten away with it
