Posted on: Obama’s caution on Afghanistan welcome

Sunlizard tells us: "Obama is a KILLER and a COWARD who has no intention of stopping his blood for oil war mongering."

OBAMA is a coward?! Okay, Sunlizard, if you're so big and brave, stop hiding behind a pseudonym and do all your posts under your real name. Show us who's the coward.

Posted on: Firing over classroom marijuana prompts school district lawsuit

Gerry Eberwein is absolutely correct-- this story does not give anyone the information to reach a conclusion. I've been taught in many classrooms large enough that a teacher at one end of it would not have known what surreptitious business was going on at the other. Was this one of those classrooms? Does this teacher have a history of overlooking things? Apparently not, since the previous evaluations were favorable. The bottom line is that we don't know enough to reach the sweeping conclusions posted here.

So all they have to do is disincorporate and then they're relieved of all their obligations and liabilities?

Posted on: Hugh Hefner announces Playmate of the Year in Las Vegas

"The bicentennial Playmate of the Year celebration was the first time the award reception was not held at the Playboy Mansion."

Bicentennial? I don't think Playboy has been around for two centuries.

Posted on: Torture prosecution isn’t up to Obama

There's a saying that the fight for progress is not a battle between good and evil, but between differing views of good. One of the interesting things about many of these postings is the assertion that the ONLY way to serve the public interest and achieve justice is through punitive action and prosecution. In South Africa, the establishment of an independent Truth and Reconciliation Commission allowed the truth about the apartheid years to come out without creating greater divisions within an already divided society. Victims of state action were allowed to tell their stories. Perpetrators were allowed to tell their stories and by so doing escaped prosecution. The torture issue has created divisions in the United States, undercutting our own image of ourselves. I frankly would prefer to see prosecution of some of the Bush people, but I'm not self centered enough to think that mine is the only view that matters. I can easily understand a decision by Obama to follow a different policy.
