“'This is an award for not being George W. Bush. This is an award for not making the world nervous. This is an award for sharing the basic political sentiments and assumptions of the members of the committee. It is for what Barack Obama may do, not what he has done. He hasn't done anything. '

“NOT being George Bush is deserving of an Award. His Administration totaled our Economy, put our Global climate in jeopardy (Go Big Oil) and declared an Illegal War against Iraq. We're still waiting for him, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and the rest to be brought up on charges for Treason. It is amazing that you still don't get how they screwed everyone who wasn't in their Billion Dollar Inner Circle.

“excuses, excuses, excuses”
Sheria Reid replied on Sep 02, 2009 at 15:18:58
“You are confusing excuses with explanations. Human behavior doesn't take place in a vacuum. Like everything else in nature, who we are, what we become is a product of cause and effect. As Mark Olmsted acknowledges there are exceptions, but to point to those exceptions as evidence that our experiences are not a determinative factor in the choices that we make in life makes no more sense than concluding that all car crashes are survivable because some people do survive them. What Mark has provided is one of the more cogent assessments of the factors that make it more likely that someone will not only commit a crime, but become a permanent part of the cycle of crime and punishment. I look forward to his assessment of what can be done to stop the cycle.”

that sentence should read:

“It's actually men failing to control their sperm. No sperm, no pregnancy. Even though men might try to control their sperm, there are times when they make mistakes. Women shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of men's mistakes. It's time to stop putting the blame on women as if men are infantile and incapable of controlling their own body fluids at the source.”

“I hate to say this but I've been very disappointed in President Obama's reaction to Michael Jackson's death.
He didn't have to participate, but not a word?
For this president to ignore a man of Michael Jackson's stature (I don't care what the naysayers believe) is just disrespectful.
SamKnause's comment was perfect: "Michael was a world treasure and he came from the U.S."”

“Obviously, you have not been paying attention. President Obama hand wrote a letter that was delivered to the Jackson family. He has spoken about Michael's passing on at least 2 occasions (and possibly more) that I have heard. Come one. Poor taste? You don't know what he wrote in that letter to the family - it's none of our business.”

“I agree. I thought is showed disrepect. Michael was a world treasure and he came from the U.S. You would have thought that the President of the United States would have been there to honor him. I guess that would have been to politically incorrect for Obama, or political suicide.”

“This is true, but yearlin most of them that are in the prison system did not grow up with a dad in the home. Most of them were in gangs and this is because boys are looking to bond with a male usually this happens with someone they can look up to most of the time it is (dad). I can speak for some in the african american community on my street alone there were 12 families on my street but my family and two other homes on the street were the only ones with fathers in them. As an african american I can say it made a difference in my life to have my dad around and my friends would tell me that they wish they could have that kind of dad. Men, boys, are different than women, they think different and there are things that a father is able to show a boy child and they need that bonding. My little boy cousin said to his mom when he was two, mama you can't teach me how to pe- I need daddy so I can do it right. Thinkers.”
