If they break something, they could be "sentenced" to learning to fix it. One idea, anyway.

When a 15 yr old girl is rapped by 7 15-21ys old repeatedly, Is she not sentence to a life time of of remembrance of that horrific night. - If the shoe fits wear it....

Thank you for voicing this disturbing (and ugly if you ask me) trend. I never even dressed my child in a garment with a logo on it. Today, as a young adult, she does not want to be a walking billboard so there are very few logos in her closet.

I was 8, living in Southern Indiana. I remember watching it on the news and not understanding the importance. At that time, I didn't get it.

Oprah is nothing but propaganda for Obama and his change. I would never give validity to her show or anything she endorses.

Our local TV news station's film critic interviewed the actress who plays Precious' teacher. She said the film is like the roller coaster of life...you laugh, you cry, you feel, and at the end, your soul is bigger and you are more empathetic for having seen it. She made a point of saying that the movie is not just a "downer." And there are heroes in it.

I think it's "the love of money is the root of all evil," rather than just money is the root of all evil.

Barmak and Amy: - amen!

Studies show that even people talking on the cell phone are no more reliable than people who are drunk. TXTing is even worse as your eyes are constanly shifting out of focus on the highway. I've tried it and got pulled over by a OR State Trooper who told me I was driving like a drunk on New Years Eve. He was NOT amused as I almost took his right ... Read Morefront quarter panel. Just what I would have needed. Smashing into a police car. I resist the tempatation and put the cell phone OUT of reach or use a ear bud and call the TXT recipient. With people living sometimes 1-12 timezones apart, often YOUR driving time is someone elses before/after work time. I was called just yesterday while driving to church in Portland, OR by my brother in Miami, intent on talking away. I pulled over and put on an earbud and continued. Driving involves choices and HUNDREDS of people have already been killed or seriously injured by driving + texting. Kill that habit before IT kills YOU!

Personally, I do not. I do, however, have a hands free method of chatting on the cell but truly prefer to wait until I am parked to return call. I haven't even engaged the cell's capability to respond to voice commands...
It is difficult to believe that people would even THINK about texting while driving.

An automatic solar panel cover could close whenever dark, cloudy, or snowy times occurred. We need mfgrs to produce panels in the US. Now we seem to only have expensive imports.

You can build them yourself too.

Hey Elizabeth what a novel idea. Lets see is that something like the golden rule?

I think the press has been odly silent about the implications of the republican success in this election. hum. or humbug. Surely worth noting that Prez Obama campained for his team and some sort of backlash occured in spite of it.

Rand, I would hardly call resigning within the first term a success.

The hatred for Sarah Palin is puzzling to me.

When I was young in the head, I watched Sesame Street on TV in Japan. I am 39 years old.

Probably back in 1975 or so. It used to come on before the Electric Company and Zoom.
