Body	Yet another school shooting, more bloodshed, and still more heartache. I would just like to send out my best wishes to the students and families of the Virginia Tech University community, as they try to cope with the recent massacre of their friends, teachers and loved ones. To the spineless politicians who inhabit Washington, DC and the fifty states of the U.S., stop taking money from the gun lobbies and take the guns off of the streets!

The Iraq Answer: A Three State Solution
Topic: International Affairs

Subject	THE IRAQ ANSWER: A THREE STATE SOLUTION
DateCreated	11/29/2006 8:03:00 PM
PostedDate	11/29/2006 6:07:00 PM
Body	Iraq is in civil war. It's obvious that a lasting central government is not in the cards, without a strong leader like Saddam to hold the country together. The answer is actually three answers: Give the Shiites their section of Iraq; give the Sunnis their section; and establish an independent Kurdistan for the Kurds. The country is in the process of fracturing anyway, so the best policy would be to make that separation as easy as possible. Victory in Iraq is not holding Iraq together against the historical current of the area. A victory in Iraq would be to allow --and assist-- the formation of three new nations. Of course Iran will have some influence in a new Iraqi Shiite country, but they have that right now anyway in the Shiite area A Sunni country can support the new Iraqi Sunni nation as a balance; and the U.S. can support the Kurds. It's time to make the best out of a bad situation.

Free The Weed -- Legalize Marijuana Now!
Topic: Marijuana Legalization

Subject	FREE THE WEED -- LEGALIZE MARIJUANA NOW!!!
DateCreated	11/25/2006 1:25:00 AM
PostedDate	11/25/2006 12:03:00 AM
Body	Legislation like The 1937 Marijuana Tax Act made marijuana illegal. Today alcohol is legal and causes untold death and destruction; while marijuana --a plant with huge medical benefits-- is illegal. Somehow this picture seems a bit backwards. Marijuana has proven health benefits when it comes to problems like appetite, nausea and various types of pain. It has practical applications with diseases like cancer, aids, glaucoma, epilepsy, migraines, Alzheimer's, bi-polar disorder and many more illnesses. Sending someone to jail for a blunt or a dime bag is like sending someone to a cell to get gang raped and brutalized for having a bottle of tylenol. It's ridiculous! Marijuana is the forbidden medicine, and it shouldn't be. Give the people their medicine!! And, if healthy folks want to smoke a joint after work -- SO WHAT, LET THEM! America, it's time to step into the 21st century with a more logical approach to The War on Drugs. Keep hard drugs illegal, but FREE THE WEED! END THE WAR ON THE PEOPLE AND THE PLANT...LEGALIZE MARIJUANA!!! CLICK HERE to sign a petition urging the U.S. government to legalize marijuana.

Racist Richards Unmasked!

Subject	RACIST RICHARDS UNMASKED

PostedDate	11/21/2006 9:52:00 AM
Body	Recently another racist came out from under the hood. Michael Richards, better known as Kramer from "Seinfeld," was bombing onstage at a comedy club when his preferred brand of humor showed itself. With racist verbiage spewing from his mouth like toxic vomit, Richards went on an extended racist tirade against Black people in the audience and everywhere else. The "N' word, it seems, is his favorite word. Funny thing is, everytime he used that word, he proved that he was the only "N" in the house! Richards --other than his physical appearance-- was never funny to me to begin with. I never saw any talent. However, with his racially offensive comedy routine, he has proven me wrong by showing a great talent at being an ignorant ass! Michael Richards is a racist, so let him be himself while entertaining on the aryan nation comedy circuit On the flip side, reputable establishments, networks, and people of good character should discard him like the bigoted piece of filth that he is!

Is Reinstating The Draft The Democrat's Answer?
Topic: Politics

Subject	IS REINSTATING THE DRAFT THE DEMOCRATS' ANSWER?
DateCreated	11/20/2006 8:56:00 PM
PostedDate	11/20/2006 8:50:00 PM
Body	New York Rep. Charles Rangel has offered up a plan to deal with depleted military troop levels, and racial/class inequities in recruiting. His plan is to reinstate the draft. If I didn't think Washington had lost all touch with the people before that proposal, I'm certain of it now! I really have to wonder about Rep. Rangel's state of mind because his plan is as insane as its reasoning! 1. A draft would increase troop levels. However, going from a professional (volunteer) military to a conscript (draftee) force automatically lessens it's effectiveness due to troop moral. There's a big difference between a person who signs up for service, and one who is forced into it! If I'm dodging bullets in a war that I don't support --and I volunteered-- then I really have no one to blame but myself for being there. I might not like it, but volunteering means that I would have signed up to go wherever the government chose to send me. But, if I'm FORCED to dodge bullets in a conflict that I don't support, I think my anger would be focused on my own government. The government that FORCED me into harm's way! 2. Rep. Rangel says that a draft would make politicians think twice before going to war because their own children would be at risk of going into combat. He also says that a draft would rectify race/class inequities in recruitng. The rich kids would go to war along with the poor kids. Uh, Mr. Rangel, don't try to sell me horse shit and tell me it doesn't stink! Because you want the Congress to be more thoughtful about war, and to make the wealthy share in the risk of war, you want to expose all of our children to death in Iraq or some other future war. There was a draft during The Vietnam War, but politicians and the wealthy still weren't sending their kids. Wasn't George Bush's avoidance of service in Vietnam a Democratic Party talking point during the 2004 election with John Kerry??? Also, a huge problem with the draft to begin with was its disproportionate targeting of people of color, and poor Whites. The Draft sends masses of poor people to wars they have no stake in, and Rangel knows that! If reinstating the Draft is the best solution the Democrats can come up with to the mess in Iraq, then they don't deserve to be in power either! Hell, get rid of all the Democratic and Republican politicians! I'll be damned if I let someone send my child to a military meat grinder that has nothing to do with defending this country! If you really want to see war Mr. Rangel, come into the hood trying to take my child off to war! Anyway, I have the perfect solution: Bring all of the brave women and men in Iraq home, and send all the damned politicians! Draft the President and Congress --and corporate CEO's who engage in war profiteering-- to fight their own damned wars!

NBA...Bring Back The Legends
Topic: Sports

Subject	NBA...BRING BACK THE LEGENDS GAME!!!
DateCreated	11/13/2006 7:44:00 PM
PostedDate	11/13/2006 7:13:00 PM
Body	NBA All-Star Weekend has really fallen off in terms of excitement and drama.; with the exception of the 3-Point Competition, the Rookie Challenge against the second year players, and the actual all-star game itself. The dunk contest is a pale shell of its former self. Back in the day you had yearly rivalries involving the game's top dunkers.: Michael Jordan! Dominique Wilkins! Spud Webb! Clyde Drexler! Larry Nance...and on and on and on. Now the game's top dunkers dunk donuts rather than dunk against each other. Why aren't Kobe Bryant, Vince Carter, Steve Francis, Lebron James and others stepping up to the challenge??? The dunk contest with its yearly collection of little known players is a joke! Add to that the boring Shooting Stars and Skills Challenge competitions, and there's really little reason to watch. The solution is to bring back the NBA Legends Game. Back in the day legends played games against each other on All-Star Weekend. Games that were exciting! NBA wake up! Scrap the crap and bring our NBA greats back to us! There's no shortage of talent: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Dominique Wilkins, Chris Mullin, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, David Robinson, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Mitch Richmond...there's even room for Steve Kerr, Kenny "The Jet" Smith, and Sir Charles Barkley! BRING BACK THE LEGENDS GAME! BRING BACK THE EXCITEMENT! BRING BACK THE REAL ALL-STARS FOR ALL-STAR WEEKEND!!!

Flight Of The Ratpublicans!
Topic: Politics

Subject	FLIGHT OF THE RATPUBLICANS!!!
DateCreated	11/8/2006 10:27:00 AM

Body	Congratulations America on beginning the process of ousting the Ratpublicans from government. Yesterday's elections sent a clear message that many Americans are beginning to wake from the sleep spell that held them over the last decade. The Ratpublicans had all 3 branches of government...and blew it (there's a Mark Foley joke here somewhere). It was time for a huge change, and the November 7th elections proved that. The news just keeps getting better as Donald Rumsfeld (Robert McNamara, The 21st Century Edition) was chased from his hole today. Good job America! Wake up George Bush (A.K.A. HOWDY DOODY A.K.A. ALFRED E. NEWMAN), you have failed this country!!! King George, your castle has crumbled!!!

Body	Republican control of the government can be seen as one giant clusterfuck! The Iraq fiasco, a snail paced response to Hurricane Katrina, congressional sex scandals involving boys, the erosion of civil liberties under the auspices of The Patriot Act, and on and on... The Republicans, with all of their fire and brimstone religious rhetoric, have laid a paradigm for immorality in government. STOP THE INSANITY! VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS TOMORROW, NOVEMBER 7TH! IT'S TIME TO TAKE BACK AMERICA!!!
