you know, for the good times.

Well, Thats a good question.
Any answers ?

BT,
Did I say that wearing an OC Chopper hat makes you a racist ?

What I should have added there is that over the years I have gotten to know many Motorcycle Enthusiasts.
Some are the type that like to restore and rebuild the bikes, others just weekend riders. Harley’s, Matchless, Indian even some of the dirt bike riders that go out to the desert on the weekends.
I was making a personal reference.
That guy in the OC Chopper hat could have been any one of my friends or family.

I don’t see how I am attempting to justify this mass murder by asking questions.
Have I said that this guy was justified ?

Blues Tiger,
IMHO, I don’t think Kes or Javez are any less disgusted by this
CT tragedy then you or I.
A tragedy is a tradedy is a tragedy no matter what color it comes in.
If you could just take away the race aspect
of this tragedy, would it have happened at all?
Nothing can not bring back any of these family men.
(I noted that one of their pics one of the men was
wearing a Orange County Choppers hat.)
As horrible as this shooting is, there are things to understand here.
Maybe not today but eventually.
If we don’t look at these issues in the cold hard light of day
how do we overcome any of them?

Where does all that race garbage come from anyway?
Is it a permanent fixture in our culture or do we have any choice in these matters?
The Beck and Limbaugh crowd
have all kinds of choices and what do they do with them?
I feel it is important to note what the RWers will do with this
since they claim to be so deeply committed to Christian Values.
I would challenge any of them to consider the path of the Amish,
but I won’t hold my breath.

Charlie Roberts was a milk truck driver who serviced the local community, including the farms of some of the victims’ families. Nine years earlier his wife Amy gave birth to their first child, a baby girl. However, the baby died after living only 20 minutes. Apparently his daughter’s death affected him greatly. He never forgave God for her death, and eventually planned to get revenge.

On the morning of October 2nd Roberts said goodbye to two of his own children at the school bus stop, then drove to the West Nickel Mines Amish School. When he walked in the door, some of the children recognized him. That day the school had four adult visitors – the teacher’s mother, her sister, and two sisters-in-law. One of the women was pregnant. When the young teacher saw his guns, she and her mother left the other adults with the children and ran to a nearby house for help. A call was made to 911.

The pregnant visitor was trying to comfort 7-year old Naomi Rose when Roberts ordered the adults to leave. Then he told the boys to leave. The boys huddled near an outhouse to pray. Roberts had the 10 girls lie down facing the blackboard and he tied their hands and feet. Roberts told the girls he was sorry for what he was about to do, but “I’m angry at God and I need to punish some Christian girls to get even with him.”

Following the tragic Amish school shooting of 10 young schoolgirls in a one-room Amish school in October 2006, reporters from throughout the world invaded Lancaster County, PA to cover the story. However, in the hours and days following the shooting a different, an unexpected story developed.

In the midst of their grief over this shocking loss, the Amish community didn’t cast blame, they didn’t point fingers, they didn’t hold a press conference with attorneys at their sides. Instead, they reached out with grace and compassion toward the killer’s family.

The afternoon of the shooting an Amish grandfather of one of the girls who was killed expressed forgiveness toward the killer, Charles Roberts. That same day Amish neighbors visited the Roberts family to comfort them in their sorrow and pain.

Later that week the Roberts family was invited to the funeral of one of the Amish girls who had been killed. And Amish mourners outnumbered the non-Amish at Charles Roberts’ funeral.

It’s ironic that the killer was tormented for nine years by the pre-mature death of his young daughter. He never forgave God for her death. Yet, after he cold-bloodedly shot 10 innocent Amish school girls, the Amish almost immediately forgave him and showed compassion toward his family.

Now I would give some serious coin to see that.

Tea Party Uni-Tea Day …. A Joke !
They threw a big diversity party and their guests of honor were virtually a no show.
Why am I not surprized !
Could it be because they have Britebarf as a speaker?
Or the other thousands of reasons…

Vote Bito !!!

Why bother governing, when you can just run for election or re-election !

When in doubt – Blame Obama !
Matthews was a bit flustered
Dean and Walsh were trying to help him out but he was like a run away train.
In his comment at the end of the show he chided Obama for saying these things are all of the media’s fault,
insinuating that Obama needs to call out fox…
oh yeah, that worked out so well the last time for Obama.
Matthews isn’t that your job?
You Call them out
You have enough caustic wit to go around
Get Busy!

Major Confusion broke out !!

What will we do with out our Middle Class?

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer at a staggering rate. Once upon a time, the United States had the largest and most prosperous middle class in the history of the world, but now that is changing at a blinding pace.

So why are we witnessing such fundamental changes? Well, the globalism and “free trade” that our politicians and business leaders insisted would be so good for us have had some rather nasty side effects. It turns out that they didn’t tell us that the “global economy” would mean that middle class American workers would eventually have to directly compete for jobs with people on the other side of the world where there is no minimum wage and very few regulations. The big global corporations have greatly benefited by exploiting third world labor pools over the last several decades, but middle class American workers have increasingly found things to be very tough.

Thats interesting WTS, I was reading that the Gobi, being the 5th largest desert on the earth, has an average elevation of 3000 to 5000 feet, I wonder if that elevation improves solar energy?

I couldn’t agree with you more Dilden,
with out manufacturing we have no middle class and without
the middle class we are left with a weak economic engine.

While we are sleeping in the USA
Look at what India is doing…. and they are using Linux!

India unveils prototype of 35 U.S. dollar laptop
English.news.cn 2010-07-24
NEW DELHI, July 24 (Xinhua) — India has unveiled a prototype tablet touchscreen laptop, priced at 1,500 rupees (35 U.S. dollars) , which it hopes to roll out in the market commercially next year.

And on China….
China’s Coal Bubble …
and how it will deflate U.S. efforts to develop “clean Coal”
http://www.postcarbon.org/article/96251-china-s-coal-bubble-and-how-it-will

No Alternatives

Economic growth requires energy, and China needs economic growth to maintain domestic political stability and international competitiveness. If there’s not enough coal to support the nation’s energy growth, then other options must be considered.

China is developing alternative energy sources; can these be brought on line fast enough to make a difference? Let’s do some numbers. China aims to have 100 gigawatts (GW) of wind power capacity by 2020, and the nation’s leaders plan to expand installed solar capacity to 20 GW during the same period. These are truly astonishing goals, and, if China even comes close to accomplishing them, it will become the world’s renewable energy leader. But there is a problem: total Chinese electricity generation capacity is 900 GW currently; with seven percent growth, that means the nation’s electricity demand in 2020 will be something like 1800 GW. Wind and solar together would supply less than seven percent of that. The only thing likely to boost that percentage much would be a dramatic reduction in growth of energy demand to, say, two percent annually.

The situation with nuclear power is similar: China has 11 atomic power plants now and is in the process of building 20 more, with a target of 60 GW of generating capacity, or possibly more, by 2020. But this will supply only between three and five percent of total electricity demand, depending on energy demand growth rates.

The conclusion is unsettling but inescapable: China’s reliance on coal cannot be significantly reduced as long as its demand for electrical power continues to grow at anything like current rates. And even if energy demand growth tapers off and alternative energy sources come on line quickly, the country’s ability to supply enough coal domestically will still be challenged.
