Displaying 331 To 360 Of 7,446 Comments WATCH LIVE: 50th Anniversary of The March On Washington Thanks for this Adlib. I am working in my craft room today so I can listen online no problem. Great idea. » Posted By SueInCa On August 28, 2013 @ 11:23 am Steamed At HuffPost For Getting Rid Of Anonymous Commenting? Chill At PlanetPOV! Hi Haruko, I have not been here a great deal either but I do attend VOX pretty regularly. You have come up with some very valid points regarding this entire situation at HP. It has been ages since I even looked at their site so I have no idea what the temp is over there now but I also have no inclination to find out either. In my mind, Huffpo, starting with that bitch Ariana, fostered the attitude that is on there today. And even when she was owner, she filtered out any derogatory remarks about her management. It is too bad, it was once a nice place to go and discuss like adults the happenings in the world. » Posted By SueInCa On August 28, 2013 @ 11:21 am Repubs Can Counter Hillary Movies with Films of Their Own OHHHHH yeah, a note would be good. Have to make it plain that it is only Teabillies and RWNJ’s that are being targeted lol. That would be a good story. Li’lLib will for sure be telling you pretty soon. Raise them gals up strong and independent, that was my motto. » Posted By SueInCa On August 11, 2013 @ 5:29 pm Adlib Very good, but not quite as funny as some of your others and I do believe little Adlib is catching up to you. Just kidding, except for the part about Little Adlib. Great storylines but if it were me, it would go to the dark side. Knowing my interest and time spent in law enforcement activities and my love of James Patterson, mine would be about a person stalking each candidate and as they are hurt, one by one, the remaining candidates and RNC chairman go nutso(more so than normal) wondering if they will be next. Of course, no death is involved but a major hurt is put on each and every one. In the end, the perp is not discovered, paving the way for a sequel to really drive them nuts. Phewwwww, my mind is already racing lol. » Posted By SueInCa On August 11, 2013 @ 11:47 am My 10 Year Old Daughter’s First Go at Political Humor It is amazing how kids soak up info. I think we both have some pretty amazing kids/grandkids » Posted By SueInCa On July 26, 2013 @ 4:47 pm Exactly right Adlib. What I do is probe him for details when he mentions current events or a situation that happened at his school. By asking him questions and giving what I think is sound advice I believe he will gain crucial critical thinking skills. I have told him that in certain circumstances it is appropriate to question authority and he has tried it with success at stating his feelings and thoughts so that also enforces the lessons. He is a caring kid at any rate and automatically understands the underdog’s plight. Prior to being cool, he went through some of the things he sees other “not cool” kids going through and his experience has taught him to be compassionate. » Posted By SueInCa On July 26, 2013 @ 1:45 pm I am glad she is seeing the comments. It is so important to teach our young to respect others but to also know when to speak out against wrongs. Sounds like she is getting a very good lesson from you and your wife. I share these things with my grandson too, I want him to know what is going on in the world. Slowly he is understanding and you can tell from their conversations with us, they are truly learning. » Posted By SueInCa On July 26, 2013 @ 12:31 pm LOL Adlib, I would expect no less from your very mature 10 year old daughter. Make sure she reads these comments so she will understand how we appreciate her humor and most of all how she was not really mean to anyone. Good on her, she has a very bright future. Sometimes kids speak louder than any of us and make more sense. » Posted By SueInCa On July 26, 2013 @ 10:35 am Rallies in St. Louis for Peace, for Justice, for All the Trayvons That is too bad. When you ask for seasoned veterans opinion, you should at least try what they suggest. If they were so much smarter, why did it die? Because they refused to take the advice from seasoned activists. I know their hearts were in the right place but I also think they made themselves easy targets for their squatting.(is that what they call it?). They could have even kept it up day to day, month to month had they listened. » Posted By SueInCa On July 21, 2013 @ 4:17 pm Hang in there Murph, I think it has to all come in due time. Like you, I am anxious to see change too but I think a lot of people are afraid of the violence that may ensue. Many racists of all colors are going to feel threatened by open dialogue on the issue because it will hamper their ability to feed their hatred. Many still deny there is a problem. And many will infiltrate otherwise peaceful demonstrations in an attempt to discredit the very thing that is going to make their hatred that much harder to have accepted. IMHO the downfall of Occupy was just that, occupying the space where they were protesting. I understand the premise behind it but they would have given authorities less to defeat them on had they staged short term occupies or returned daily to the same site. In hindsight, they set themselves up for troubles when they decided to camp in city streets. You cannot maintain order and cleanliness long term in that atmosphere. I also think that surprise protests, as much as is possible, puts the authorities on their guard so that they do not know when another will happen. I am not necessarily advocating that, I just think it is something to consider. Or, on the flip side, set up regular schedules to meet. That way people know you are serious but they also know you are not trying to best them. What you did in having that attorney present, was probably the smartest thing I have heard of to date. Good foresight. » Posted By SueInCa On July 21, 2013 @ 1:09 pm Hi there Murph Great write up about your town. A couple things. Sybrina Fulton spells her name with a Y not an A, no big deal to me but I would think important to her. I also think the black owner of that restaurant was protecting you all and himself. Think about it, he is AA and when you all have left his restaurant, he is left alone. The same fear you speak of and other commenters here speak of is probably the basis for his decision. I could be wrong but history would tell me I am more right than wrong. I don’t think it is over either. There will be the march on Washington in August and I think it will be another stepping off point for people. Sure your do nothing people and your racists are not going to do a damn thing unless it is for racists to hold separate little protests brandishing their guns. BUT I still believe the SPARK has not occurred yet. What needs to be done, IMHO is to tie this back to the 1% and their efforts to foster a divisive society. Trayvon is just the beginning, my hope is that justice and change is the ending. » Posted By SueInCa On July 21, 2013 @ 9:32 am My Journey to Discovering The Artist I Never Knew I Was or Could Be BFF Being self taught is a good thing, I never spent money on expensive classes but it also means a lot of trial and error, but again that builds character, right? And when you finally get it, that ole light bulb does go on. You really should try it, I find it so relaxing and I usually have done a lot when watching TV. Once you learn a pattern it is kind of rote and it makes me feel less guilty about watching some Lifetime movie, which I do from time to time. I probably cannot claim total self teaching since my friend introduced it to me in high school but any new medium I have tried has been through books, videos, pictures(where I can figure it out) etc. Thanks for the compliment, I do so enjoy creating with beads and I think my supply has gotten so big that I almost had to go in a new direction by using different inspriations and only buying the “out of the ordinary” supplies now days. We also have a show here run daily on a PBS station called Beads Baubles and Jewels and I get a lot of ideas from their show as well. If you ever decide to try your hand at it, do not hesitate to ask if you need help. » Posted By SueInCa On July 21, 2013 @ 9:17 am Jenuwin Yes my store is still up, there is an ad with a link on PP. I would encourage you to maybe take a lesson or two at a craft, bead store to see if you like it. In my case, it just happened to be a case of remembering my long ago foray into beading with my high school friend. I think you will also find out that the people who share this craft are some of the most helpful and friendly people around. Perhaps it is because it is their passion and to teach others leads to inspiration in their own lives. I am sure it is the same with other arts as well, I just find the people involved to be very nice and, for the most part, serene people. » Posted By SueInCa On July 19, 2013 @ 1:39 pm Please Sign the NAACP Petition for Peace and for Justice Wow Murph, that was really nice of you. I am glad I mentioned her. » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 12:14 pm Here is the link, I forgot it. » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 11:36 am You always know the mark of a coward. A coward hides behind freedom. A brave person stands in front of freedom and defends it for others » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 11:34 am Here is the Daily Kos piece, all I had to do was add Daily Kos to her name to come up with it…..face/palm plant….. » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 11:12 am Murph there are several groups behind her, here is a FB page. I still cannot find the Daily Kos piece but will pursue https://www.facebook.com/JusticeForMarissaAlexander » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 11:10 am Yes that is what puzzles me about these people actually thinking Americans are exceptional. Perhaps it is the same blindness that makes them hold on to their prejudices…..and when people of a foreign country point it out, they are the bad guys. SMH » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 10:53 am Enough indeed. I agree and when I read Murph’s comments about his area’s reaction, it simply validated it all. “Open season on Co(ns”? Cannot say it any plainer than that. I told Murph that I feel kind of isolated here in CA because that ideology is not prevalent. » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 10:22 am TeaBillies are handed their talking points almost every day. I see it all the time on FB, blog comments et al. » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 10:19 am CL here is a link to a story about it. Same prosecutor as Zimmerman, black woman gets 20 years for not killing anyone, Zimmerman walks. » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 9:39 am Murph Yes everything is ok, last week I was on vacation and the week before my grandson was here and we share my computer. My old one is just too slow to try to get into Vox so I rarely use it. » Posted By SueInCa On July 18, 2013 @ 9:34 am No problem it is on Daily Kos so I doubt there is an issue giving it to you here. One thing was mentioned, she tries to answer all mail but sending her stamps or a stamped self addressed envelope will help her to respond. She does not have a lot of money. You know the name so here is the address only: #2012033887 » Posted By SueInCa On July 17, 2013 @ 9:43 pm If you ever feel like contacting her, I do have her address. I am going to write a letter to her. I heard about her right after it happened but did not know until this week of her status. Actually Daily Kos is tracking her so they are good for some things lol » Posted By SueInCa On July 17, 2013 @ 8:38 pm Hey KT now I know why you named yourself Kilgore Trout. » Posted By SueInCa On July 17, 2013 @ 8:21 pm Murph I signed it on Monday, also signed a Credo petition that was similar. Also signed a petition for Marissa Alexander.. When I first got the petition, I tried for several hours to get in to sign it and the site timed out over and over. I hope that means they were deluged with good people trying to sign it. » Posted By SueInCa On July 17, 2013 @ 8:20 pm Debating the Existence of Racism (and Gravity if We Have Time) Nor can I. Sometimes I go there just to put out a statement about how bad the blog is, but then I leave. It is that way with a lot of “uncontrolled” sites. They play the moderator game but it is evident in the number of posts that get through what is really going on. » Posted By SueInCa On July 19, 2013 @ 4:24 pm You just made me laugh Adlib. But come to think of it, yes it is. » Posted By SueInCa On July 19, 2013 @ 4:05 pm I just shared that KT. I have shared it a few times over the past year in the hopes that hearts will open and people will take the plight of the people in this country seriously, the poor, the oppressed, the maligned, the struggling middle class, all need a hand up, not a hand out. Some do not want to give them either, the selfish ones in our society. » Posted By SueInCa On July 19, 2013 @ 4:02 pmComments Posted By SueInCa
