    --and the pursuit of happiness

    You admit the inequities of the early years of this country, after asking some of us to explain why white immigrants who came to the country succeeded, when blacks did not. I answered your question directly and completely. I explained why there is an ongoing problem with skin color in this...

    Sucking the Government tit

    Yes, your personal and corporate tax rates are lower than MN. I've lived in MN for about 13 years now, I've spent plenty of time in WI, and have studied the comparisons between quality of life, business quality and success, and the sales of paint thinner for human consumption. The only thing...

    ASS HATS

    Yeah, and now we see one of Murdoch's companies shutting down because they hacked private individuals phones in search of "news" stories - the editor keeps her job but everyone else is thrown out. And this is the company that continues to promote "fair and balanced" reporting... and who keeps...

    --and the pursuit of happiness

    Wayne, it's very convenient for you to call what blacks went through in America "excuses" for original and future behavior. I call it irresponsible verbiage, and ignoring the obvious. If you can't see how slavery and subsequent racial injustices held back the black race in America simply because...

    --and the pursuit of happiness

    Considering what white people did to black people "when they came to this country," I don't think it should be any mystery why blacks had plenty more problems "making it" in this country and had more difficulty prospering. And the ghetto scenario - no doubt whites had more to do with that than...

    Minnesota government shuts down

    Mags, you don't have to convince me you're not that concerned about the state of education in Wisconsin. I think I understand exactly what your position is on that - it's far more about you than education - I get it. I'm not sure if you're talking about Minnesota or Wisconsin when you're...

    Minnesota government shuts down

    I'll give you what I know about this shutdown. It has nothing to do with unions, it has to do with how to attack the budget deficit from different political perspectives. The republicans are more concerned with protecting the top .037% of incomes in the state at the expense of everything else...

    --and the pursuit of happiness

    Not surprising you would make a statement with a link to someone who shares the same value system that you do. Using a few words of the Constitution as being something unalienable and undeniable, as long as it's something specifically designed and protected by and for rich white men. You again...

    SAY IT ISN"T SO!

    And didn't the teacher unions agree to take this step before the agreement was forced upon them? I read plenty that said they agreed with those requests, just not the elimination of collective bargaining. So, I'd say in some ways those teachers should be commended for their stance, although I...

    SAY IT ISN"T SO!

    ssd, is this "swing" due ONLY to those contributions, or was that swing due to other factors in the district? I know many districts are cutting all kinds of things to help their budgets. I don't know, just asking.

    Minnesota government shuts down

    I feel really bad for the folks who had plans to camp and visit our state parks over the holiday weekend. Thousands of people will have no place to go now. Minnesota Zoo is closed, Canterbury Park is closed, etc. I think this will impact my father in law who is a state electrical inspector. Bad...

    Have a good 4th Rusty. Enjoy your weekend.

    Another state just doesn't get it!

    I didn't say the Bible was false history. In any way. Not sure how you got that. I'm saying in my opinion it is not proof of anything, and when people say to read a part of it as proof of something, I don't really agree with that valuation of it. You do, because you personally have faith in it...

    Another state just doesn't get it!

    Rusty - I see that you tell me to read Paul's letters "for proof" and ask me to read a link to the Bible as further proof of something else. I'm sorry, but the Bible is not proof of anything, it's just a collection of beliefs and stories from those who believed a certain way, and you choose to...

    Another state just doesn't get it!

    It does take all kinds. I agree with that. I just don't happen to think that my "kind" is any better than any other kind. I don't think that just because someone chooses to worship in a certain way, believes in a book that is partially and admittedly written by some as fictional representations...

    Another state just doesn't get it!

    On a side note, I see you realize that you know some people working in retail that are "gay" that are "nice" people. I'm guessing that they are probably nicer in many ways that others who are more "righteous" in their beliefs... what could that tell you?

    Another state just doesn't get it!

    So, after wading through your commentary - you do not think you judge others on your set of beliefs? It seems you said no, but it's hard to tell. I realize you are skeptical about things outside your set of beliefs - you don't have to explain that. I'd be curious to see a yes or no answer to...

    Another state just doesn't get it!

    Rusty - I'd like a straight answer to a question. Do you think you judge others based on your set of beliefs, and at the same time are bothered when others judge you based on their set of beliefs? If not, why not?

    The wrong John Wayne

    Stevie, as time goes by, you'll be surprised at how much Bachmann really doesn't know the difference about. This will be mild compared to what is coming when the heat is on. I'd guess Mitt will take care of her long before the Dems get ahold of her. I doubt seriously the Dem machine WANTS to...

    Hot tennis babe match alert, now on NBC!

    This is my one day off between my summer classes - a nice way to spend time on my "vacation" day. I have to say, Cibulkova made an excellent fashion choice today... I'm rooting for a LONG match.
