“There is plenty of evidence that Ted Kennedy did get away with murder and much has been written about the incident.

Suffice it to say, an elected official suspected of committing a felony is not entitled to privileged treatment by law enforcement authorities or the courts.”

“Thanks for the name, just hit Wikepedia, what an interesting read”

“Having studied classical viola performance in college, I can tell you that standing on a stage is terrifying, and screwing up is devastating. Having also studied the guitar, I can say that strumming the blues is not the same thing as playing Bach or Dimebag. I'm talking about living dangerously, performing past your comfort zone, putting yourself on the spot for all the marbles, not the false bolstering one gets from playing a Beatles song well. You have to put it all out there on stage; you have to feel emotionally spent when you walk off. If you don't, it means you held back and played it safe. Can you let the monster loose and still control it with not a single error? That is an awfully fine line to walk. It's a megalithic dichotomy. And in the age of digital recording, it is the expectation of an audience that is accustomed to hearing the best of the best.”

“I really think the America you grew up in was different because it hadn't thoroughly been taken over by corporations. When President Eisenhower warned to beware of the military-industrial complex in 1961, he was telling us in effect: Beware the power of the corporations.

The unethical, immoral, self-serving nature of the corporation which by definition has a continuous existence is the bane of American society from our government to our media to the food we eat.

When you were growing up, corporations were still in the process of taking over; now, they pretty much have America wrapped around their fingers. As they drive us into a third world quality of life, they'll look elsewhere for what they need which is to satiate their insatiable need for money and power.

The only thing I've come up with in discussion with others is to repeal the corporations' right to personhood granted during the hectic days of post-Civil War 19th century; the corporations got an infectious toe-hold in the constituional process of granting slaves freedom; they snuck in "personhood" (a legal term) for corporations and its been downhill since then.

That's why Europe doesn't have the corporate problem we have; because in America, corporations took advantage of post-Civil War America to gurantee their "personhood' and our enslavement.”

“absolutely true and agreed

but after having put up with the whiney clingy needy jennifer aniston, maybe he was attracted to this easy going confident and laid back personality

i personally don't want that open type of relationship. but i have learned to let people be they way they want to be.”

“And good ol' co-dependence....”

“Best comment on the thread.”

“Great example!”

“"One of the reasons prison is a place to be avoided has to do with that equation " Prison should be a place to be avoided because of the absence of real freedom.”

“Not funny.”

“very well said. and as another poster said earlier...what kind of family puts a child through the trauma of parading them through the streets like that for the sole purpose of spiting the father.

When you hate someone more than you love a child and act more upon your hate than love, you do not deserve that child.”

“well said”

“Simply - you picked the SINGLE MOST CORRUPTING of the SEVEN!”
