    • In Montpelier, hearing set on pot decriminalization bill

      Posted by seefood from Boston Globe

      The state Senate Judiciary Committee plans a public hearing Wednesday on a measure that would make possession of four ounces or less punishable by a civil penalty instead of criminal prosecution. Also on the agenda: a bill that would stiffen the penalties for selling heroin and cocaine.

      The Education of Gloria Steinem

      Posted by Shemuses

      For anyone outraged by Clinton supporter Gloria Steinem's opinion piece in the NYTimes last week arguing that Hilary, as a woman, had a harder road to the White House than Barack, simply a Black man, really must check out the video clip below put together by Baratunde over at goodCRIMETHINK.

      Srebrenica Genocide Blog: From Principle to Hypocrisy

      Posted by Rickster

      We should give credit to the Srebrenica Genocide Blog on its declared agenda to respect findings made by international courts.The problem however is that srebrenica-genocide.blogspot.com does not respect its own principle in practice; especially when faced with judicial findings that go against its own 'opinion'.

    Reflections on class and race in America

    I don’t see this as racial.  Electing the first black president is a big milestone. It is a big event.

    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.

    Good thing Obama won, huh? Now we can send this type of garbage to the trash heap where it belongs.

    Vote for ( ) - THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

    There are a lot of major issues that haven’t been addressed this time around.  It’s not even disapointing anymore. It’s so typical and to be expected that it doesn’t even affect me any longer

    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.
