There is a plenty to be said about our modern Jury system, As anyone who has ever been one can tell you if some people want to get on a Jury they will answer the question the way the Prosecutor or defending lawyer wants it answered , that’s why there is so much Jury nullification today and stupid Jurors , not a good thing to trust your life to .
What we need is professional Jurors either elected like school board trustees or appointed like supreme court Judges , people who can grasp the law and gravity of a situation and that’s it in a nut shell. End/

We pulled Iraq’s chestnuts out of fire.We rid them of the yolk of Saddam Hussian at a dear cost to Americans and their allies lives lost…men crippled and maimed to give them back their country and how do they repay us?… By raking us over the hot coals when it comes to buying oil on the open market .
Why we should have been given oil at cost for 20 years for what we sacrificed, same goes for Saudi Arabia we kept Saddam Hussein from overrunning their nation only to be burnt buy their export oil market, wake up Allies let them stew in their own mess the next time then clamer for our Armies help /end
Are all auto insurances engaging in price fixing?Are they all in collusion when it comes to Auto policies? Whose to say.However I needed an auto policy as mine as gotten to high in the last few years, It seems that Allstate, State Farm ,Liberty, Hartford, Progressive, Nationwide all the same rate within a few dollars.You would think that some one of these outfits would wants my business and try’s to beat the others price . ..It’s not happening!
Here’s what they will ask you to determine your rate ..and mind you each question determines higher rates..
1.do you rent or own your own your own
home? You rent then higher rates
2.married? Single then higher rates
3 one car then no multi car discount
3.no homeowners insurance then that means no bundles…higher rates.
4.Whats your education level?high school at most then FU higher rates.
It makes no difference if you have no Moving vioations or accidents
You better believe that we are all paying for all that T.V. advertising, You can’t win they like Big Oil &_Big Pharma has got us all by the short hairs and there isn’t a thing none of us can do end/
Putin give back that ring your making a first class fool of yourself on the world stage. We thought you’ve changed so when you gave the U.S. heads up on the Boston Bomber Perhaps we were wrong.
Many people who didn’t earn a Trophy in an event or The medal of Honor they wouldn’t take nor accept any of them as they would be unearned.
Putin if It was not a gift give it back now! Having said that there are always 2 sides to a story.
Lets hear Putin’s side and well extend the benefit of the doubt to him perhaps someone can corroborate either side of the story and shed of light pertaining to the truth on this matter either way.
If the taking this ring was any indication of his character..we see it now with what he’s doing to an innocent Nation Ukraine

We all know that taps on phones and internet can lead to arrests and perhaps foil bombings and such but this is no different than using Medical data from Nazi experiments, this is police state tacits & not the American way to Mine the internet and facebook and Phone lines to catch a thief so to speak. Just as we wont use Doctor Joseph Mengeles findings today even thou it may be a short cut to medical findings we should rethink this so called mining of citizens phone line and such as it just not the Ameican way/end

Hitler’s Teapot Stirs Up Strong Sales for JC Penney
Michael Graves, said he can’t see the resemblance well I can the mustache the tie and the Hitler salute The hair cut. I can’t believe in my heart of hearts that this was accidental can you?
Michael Graves, one of America’s most influential postmodern architects, is somewhat amused he is now Internet famous for a completely unintentional design—the so-called Hitler teapot.
Graves said he can’t see the dictator’s silhouette, but he does see the excellent sales figures.
“1,600 teapots last week,” Graves told CNBC. “Bring on the controversy.”
The teapot is one of the centerpiece items of JC Penney‘s relaunch of its home goods category, featuring designs from Graves, Jonathan Adler,Terence Conran and Martha Stewart.
When a giant picture of the teapot last month landed on a JC Penney billboard next to the San Diego Freeway, drivers started posting pictures online, saying it looked like Hitler.
After that, the teapot was briefly unavailable, causing a rush of sellers to eBay, followed by strong sales when the product returned to JC penny’s lineup. “They’re on sale for $200 on eBay,” Graves said during an interview Thursday with CNBC. JC Penney sells it for $40.
Why is it that every time that I go to purchase an American Flag which is a non taxable item by an act of Congress why must I have to argue not to pay the tax? It’s the principal not the money.It’s only that the shop keeper wants to extract from me and pocket the false tax money that h they collect that bothers me. I heard that many shop keepers charge tax but don’t turn it in to the state tax dept or Uncle Sam.They buy lets say $5,000 worth of tobacco products mainly cigarettes and pay the distributor$3,000 in cash and a check for $2000 .Now all the Shopkeeker has to do is turn into the government on tax collected on the $2 ,000 ( because that’s all that shows on paper)
So in essence their cheating you and me and the government at the same time.So when I buy a doughnut it is non taxable but if They serve it to me at a lunch counter they can charge me sales tax.When I buy a can of Lemonade (a non carbonated drink )and they charge me deposit which In certain states it’s a non deposit item and I have to call the manager of the store ., This most likely is not an accident but done to cheat all of us plain and simple , does this happen to you? It seem that almost all shopkeepers got their hand out for your non deserved Tax money these days
