A CO professor fired for espousing ridiculous views after they muzzle his free speech by finding other grounds to fire him? That is far from lighthearted. Are you sure you posted the right link?? I would call it ominous. Our rights are being lost to Muslimaphobia, the same way they were in the 50s during the McCarthy hysteria over communists. Go ahead and espouse giving up our rights if you want to. You live in Germany. We have to put up with corporate rule in this country, bought and paid for. I am thinking of Dewlover now and his continued use of the term "Islamofascist". There is certainly a nasty backlash going on right now in this country and it is getting nastier by the second. people are hurting economically and they are looking for a scapegoat. Very scary.

you had been asking for more lighthearted news a few days ago-well have a doozy for you now! This article is a minefield of comment fodder, as you will see if you read this link. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/75198 ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

but, it's a good thing they can send lights down, or the mimes would have a heck of a time understanding each other. I DO wonder how they can send equipment down but do not have the resources to bring anyone up........cigarettes, now.....do they really need them?...sounds like the right time to quit...no choice. As a non-practicing smoker of 13 years (you never really quit, the cravings are always there) I would say this is the perfect opportunity.

got impatient and posted twice.********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

we also had a story in the newspaper about how one of the trapped miner's wife AND girlfriend running into each other when they came to the site of the accident. I could imagine that this poor fellow's gonna be miming like hell when he gets out! Guess maybe he's hoping they have time to cool down before he gets out. :) ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

With unemployment hovering around 240 million in the industrialized countries and about 34 million hardcore (six months or more) unemployed in the US there are reports saying that social unrest can be expected. These are the worst numbers since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The police chief of Britain says that his force may not be able to handle the situation. My feeling is that people don't riot unless they don't have enough to eat or a place to sleep out of the rain and the cold. The poor usually just bear their load in stoic silence. We'll see. Here in Vermont there is a push from certain quarters of State and Federal government (Sen. Bernie Sanders, only socialist in the Senate) for employees to own the means of production. The feeling is that they won't send their own jobs to China or India... Unless, of course, they become successful enough. Workers of the world unite!
