She admits she does expect to be repaid for her contributions. That's why she makes them. To get the results she wants from those who can give them to her as payment. Think she will be good for public education or bad? Why?

Others have been called the King or Queen of whatever art form at which they excelled. There was a director named "King" Vidor but that was even before my time. Any others you can think of to add to the distinguished royalty...American style? Duke Wayne, aka John comes to mind as well.

That is something that many American citizens don't give a rat's a** about. Why not an offsetting reward for AWFULNESS? Worstness? Vilest? Fair is fair. Fair and balanced. Why not? The Americans who discredit/defame/devalue excellence would be up for that no doubt. Why not give them what they want? Why not appease them/please them?

His reply to PET's question was as follows"I've never found it (waterboarding) to be useful. A pack of cigarettes and a couple of beers works better".EVERY EXPERT has said repeatedly that WATERBOARDING DOES NOT WORK! If PET is surprised at that he hasn't been paying attention. That is not a good sign.

So she "lost" and the second-place guy "won". Ho hum. :(

A president who REFUSES to listen to critical information about possible harm to the country? No Way! More bullsh** crap right? He avidly WANTS to lessen his ignorance which is significant and increase his knowledge so he can lead from a position of strength. Right?

Then for a second it looked like my dog finally noticed that MJ had incredible blue eyes and MJ noticed that my dog had a majestically curled tail. But then they noticed that there was a bigger piece of a stick on the ground and they started play fighting over that. Cheers! less

Here in the UK it's illegal to say something racist... and i think that's right.. we don't have the right in enjoying our *rights* to harm or infringe upon other's rights... I am told by the good people, (that being a generalised term of address meaning all the people on here) on this list that it's not illegal there to express racist views.. I am interested in that.. out of curiosity while browsing the help section here I read a piece about free speech on here.. it said..."In other words, the Constitution promises Americans that Congress won't prevent you from speaking freely, but there are still caveats to this. For example, you can't yell "fire" in a public place when there is no danger. You also can't use "fighting words" or threats. This has been upheld by the courts repeatedly. You can be charged with a crime if you call someone a name and you can face legal consequences for it. "So.. m... less
I've posted 6 songs in the Dance Party group and nobody has responded to any of them yet. Surely I can't be the only one on here who likes dance music.

He fed his supporters red meat at every rally...attacking Hillary and Obama and the media and all his detractors. That's all he did. Feed them. But if all along he was playing them just to get elected so he could really do something significant/substantive/magnificent? That is unexpected. Folks like me will be pleased if all his rhetoric was bullsh** just to get to the place where he could exert power and do something of value. Is he that person? We shall see but if so then his supporters will turn on him. He promised them some things he has already taken off the table. More to come I suspect. How much will they tolerate of the "PIVOT" before they riot? less
