“But I hope his main point is not lost. We as a society have become very comfortable with people falling to the wayside. Society as whole is not doing enough to help.”

“This is a horrible writen article, once again lazy writing by the national media outlets. Rev. Jones statements are taken out of contexts.

This is what he said.

My advice, as a Christian priest, is to shoplift,' he told his stunned congregation at St Lawrence and St Hilda in York.
'I do not offer such advice because I think that stealing is a good thing, or because I think it is harmless, for it is neither.
'I would ask that they do not steal from small family businesses, but from large national businesses, knowing that the costs are ultimately passed on to the rest of us in the form of higher prices.
'I would ask them not to take any more than they need. I offer the advice with a heavy heart. Let my words not be misrepresented as a simplistic call for people to shoplift.
'The observation that shoplifting is the best option that some people are left with is a grim indictment of who we are.
'Rather, this is a call for our society no longer to treat its most vulnerable people with indifference and contempt.
'When people are released from prison, or find themselves suddenly without work or family support, then to leave them for weeks with inadequate or clumsy social support is monumental, catastrophic folly.
'We create a situation which leaves some people little option but crime.'

“It has been about 10 years since I worked in the internet industry, but if my memory server me correctly the only way to keep your information anonymous is not use the internet at all. That is what one of my colleagues told one of our clients.

Also a lot of sites use tracking cookies along with logging your IP address.

“Perry is 12 point ahead in the polls. In Texas, most Republicans are tea-baggers. She will not win the primary. Get to know Bill White's record as mayor of Houston. For the first time in over a decade we have an opportunity for democratic candidates to win statewide races and some people think KBH is the best we can get. We are two seats short of a majority in the state legislature which we will take in 2010 and we can put Bill White in the governor's mansion if we work at it.

“His machinations will single handedly bring down the Dems. and Obama will take the blame for following along with his plans.”

“You are absolutely right and it will serve the Democrats right. I have been a Democrat my whole life but I now understand that they are betraying the nation right along side the Republicans. We have to get rid of the two-party system. It allows us to be played by corporations that stage this elaborate kabuki play in Congress where the mean ol' Republicans thwart all efforts at reform even when the Democrats have a majority. Right now as we speak Lieberman is taking one for the team by becoming the hated guy who wrecked true reform while the other Democrats hide behind his skirts. It is an outrage. Rahm Emanuel is the orchestra leader on this betrayal. Instead of putting Lieberman's committee seats in play and squeezing him to vote they are going to let him call the shots. Why? Because he is expendable and let's them avoid responsibility for the betrayal. They'll do something nice for Lieberman for taking the head and he will retire in comfort. Betrayal has its rewards.”

We can't throw the baby out with the bath water that means we need to work that must harder to get progressive candidates in office.

“True, Kobe was not involved in multiple affairs that the general public knows of.

However Kobe still cheated on his wife, Nike and McDonlads dropped him for a couple of years but he has got all his deals back plus more.

Don't think for one second that a lot of these big name athletes don't have multiple women on the side.

A good friend of my father played in the NBA in 70's, when I was a teen he would love to tell me about his "exploits" about having a women in every city and of course he was married at the time. Just the women who are with these guys don't want to make waves.”

“So I guess you ware down with the other genocides that have occoured in the world. I guess you were happy to sit by during Rwanda,Kosovo,Darfur. What the N azi's shouldn't have been prosecuted for their crimes? Because this is how genocides begins.

We should just sit buy and let people get executed for the simple reason that they are attracted to same sex. Do you know how far reaching the law is? They will imprison people who do not report on their relatives, friends, or neighbors.

I never said bring in the military, I said cut ties. Cutting ties means closing embassies, putting pressure on companies not to business in Uganda. You know much like that was done to South Africa.

You ask "why", why for the most basic reason, it is humane.”
