- Michigan iPod proposal influenced by Apple's dime?
  Posted by Jeff from Appleinsider
  The trip, which was reportedly funded in part by Apple, led to a $36 million proposal by Dillon last week to provide all Michigan students with iPods that they could use to download lectures and educational materials. Representatives for Dillon did not provide details on the trip or say whether Apple paid for all or part of it, but Gillard is reported to have expressed his belief that the iPod maker covered at least a portion of the costs.

- College-loan scandal prompts need to search for alternatives
  Posted by Jeff from SFGate.com
  More corruption in the Bush administration... On Thursday, it was revealed that Matteo Fontana, a senior official in the U.S. Department of Education, also owned stock in the former parent of Student Loan Xpress. Matteo oversees private-sector lenders that participate in the government's Federal Family Education Loan Program. But the problem is more widespread, colleges around the country are trading access to students for dollars. Obscene.

You cannot be a Christian and vote for Obama

I agree with Okami again: freedom of speech is the most important issue.
However, as they are free to say whatever bull**** they want, still we are free not to waste our time on them! As I said, I am not that optimistic about Obama, but let’s see whether he has got any idea behind his smile, especially as welfare and international politics are concerned…

. . .gonna be a while. . .got a helluva lotta damage to undo. . .and if this is really gonna be a ‘free’ country, it’s gonna pop up again and again. . .it has to, otherwise, there’d be no freedoms.
i don’t like it. . .now one whit. . .but if this is truly ‘free’ country, we must expect that we will encounter thngs like this. otherwise it negates the very principle of freedom.

Hi okami,
I don’t know if USA are a racist nation, I don’t think so and I hope not. But I agree with you 100% on the other bits of your comments!

this type of story is why i don’t and won’t belong to any church. Nietschze was 100% correct when he said that "Christianity died on the cross."
people fear change and the future and uncertainity.
this is also a racist nation; the 12 of September 2001 proved that. it will take about another 400 years to get rid of it. . .maybe.

Ah, by the way. If I were an US citizen, I would vote conservative, but definitely not because of Obama’s skin colour or because of his religious ideas, if any.
That’s why I am afraid Obama’s gonna win: because of conservatives’ lackness of proper arguments, I am afraid…
US fellows: W A K E U P !!! The world needs a strong US, leaded by an intelligent, rational, liberal person. Not from a religius freak!
