“Your cell phone battery was dead? It better have been!

The carrier has records of when a phone is ever connected to their network, it's location - in addition to the time stamps of when someone's voicemail message system was accessed. Good luck.”

“Just wait until the investigators get the Salahi's phone records from the cell phone company.

Not only does the cell phone company know when their cell phone was connected or disconnected from their network, but the carrier will also know when the last messages were retrieved.

If the Salahi's are holding to the story that their cell phone battery was dead, that will be easy to verify.”

“Bernanke was an economics professor at a university. In 2005 he became a member of the board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, and then replaced GreenRANDscam.

He's never worked for Saddam Sachs.”

“Is this another land grab by the financial institutions?

You have mortgage defaults at record highs and you want to raise the interest rate so more ARMs will readjust - causing even more defaults. I'm not going to say "You guys better think this over"... because you've apparently had... in favor of more bank seizures at the expense of the ones who are now in sticker shock because their credit card interest rates just tripled... Why? Just because the banks are greedy.”

“Hey PETA, are you still euthanizing 80% of the animals you so call 'RESCUE"?

Keep working on the scare tactics to drive up your coffers. Manipulate people into donating to your cause when there are hundreds of ZERO K!LL shelters in this country who are far more humane than your group is!”

“I agree, studmoose. I am an animal rights activist -- but no longer a supporter of PETA. Although I support some of the work they do, they are hardly lovers of all animals. For example, I am against hunting...­and so is PETA. However, they have no problem with animal control killing feral cats. Personally, I believe PETA's motto should be: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Except for Cats & Dogs.”

“Zero kill shelters stop taking animals in once they reach a maximum. Then people can't take animals there and have to take them to a kill shelter. PETA's euthanasia rates are far lower than most kill shelters.”

“GOP = GOVERNMENT OF PURITANS

They will be the easy candidates to spot. ALL will be wearing Scarlet Letters.

What our country needs is to be brought back to the 1680's. The intellect and open-mindedness of the party members is reflective of that time period. No wonder why they are affraid of education. They can't control someone who has freedom of thought and can read.

"Burn the heritic books. Burn the witches. Burn everything! I am holier than thou and I say everything must burn! Stone anyone who doesn't agree with us!"

Do you really want to digress that much?

It's funny how the GOPers and staunch conservatives make fun of extreme islamists.­.. yet they are no better. They should step back for a minute and look in the mirror. What they are preaching is no better that the cleric run Iraq. How are we ever to progress as a nation when we have backward thinking leaders?

Some Americans you are!”

“I believe the French law does not rely on a burden of proof.

“Exactly, SM. I imagine, however, that in the US, your agreement with your ISP contains language saying it can terminate service unilaterally at any time, for any reason or no reason. As CL says below, for any tracking routine that is created, the truly tech savvy will create a work around and distribute to the masses. That's not the way to change behavior. Subscription is the only way to go. Create a studio consortium that charges a monthly fee for unlimited downloading of movies, that subscribers can keep but not redistribute. Same can be done with the record labels.”

“At the same time, New Jersey had been pumping in hundreds of millions in taxpayer-funded state worker pension funds into Lehman in an effort to help prop them up - all of that money was lost and no one was held accountable.

Just like the $6B of school construction corporation money that no one from Corzine's administration bothers to look for.”

John Adler helped to weaken NJ's tough Anti-Predatory Lending Laws in 2004.

As a United States' Congressman, John Adler's back at it again. This time, he wants to repeal many of the post-Enron auditing requirements for smaller publicly traded companies. Initially, he wanted this for companies smaller than $700M, which is apparently almost half of them. This limit was then lowered to $75M, with an exploratory amendment to raise it to $250M. (Many Democrats are for this bill, even the President.­)


If anything, not only do these accounting rules help to protect small business investors from mismanaged or sham companies, but it also protects the company from their own internal damages that may not become apparent early on.


If public money is used in a company - they should be proven to be legitimate, regardless of size.

“New York Race riot of 1863

"Initially intended to express anger at the draft, the protests turned ugly and degraded into "a virtual racial pogrom, with uncounted numbers of blacks murdered on the streets".

Chicago Race riot of 1919

"Chicago's most famous race riot of this type occurred between July 27 and August 3, 1919. The violence was precipitated by the drowning of an African American teenager who had crossed an invisible line at 29th Street separating customarily segregated “white” and “black” beaches"
