I'm not a schoolteacher

but used to work out in the public, here, and in many other cities, including Torrance, long beach, Charleston, several in Louisiana and Mississippi, about 20 others.

I'm not hiding in a building all day, and go/went out every night, usually on foot, being on travel I wanted to enjoy America.

It's quite dangerous,

I didn’t mention yet that most of those assaults resulted in their leaving me alone as I carry a weapon in many cities, where I am not likely to be arrested for it.

I'm Ok, don't worry about me, worry about the ones without defense or friends trailing behind them in many cities,

I an ny travel mates, are not naïve.

re: -- R.Ashen

""One could sincerely inquire why she wants to be President of the United States based on her mid-pack at best Senate career and history of ricochet policy form-up and issue tip-toeing.""

How could she get Republican moderates if she acted out her ass...

She (and Bill) care....Care...get it....Don't cut off your nose - to spite your face...

Please...

Biden is the only other one with that ability....

Will he get the Nomination...not likely,

He is to much like Bush - but, in all the good ways - by that I mean - Tough, commited BUT, nurturing an Open Minded and Intelligent and Prudent affect.

I Think Hillary Would Agree With Her

Good, and tell us about it in honest terms, without compromising our Security.

While at the same time not hiding her actions and breaking the law in Secret, as Alberto assisted Bush in or Cheney & Rumsfeld Inc.

NO problem what they do as long as they are not ATTEMPTING to form the SHADOW government as Cheney and Rumsfeld have certainly (Bushism) installed, throughout all branches of contracting and policy with the CIVIL or SENATORIAL Selection Service.

Imagine the NEocon plants put into all departments of the DODefense,

At the intelligence and war strategy levels - to influence future decision making – or report on it to Conservative think tanks, and Skull & Bones graduates.

After Their Empire expires...

Can Hillary root these out?

Yes, absolutely, she or Bill Certainly know a brilliant progressive Republican or Democrat...who can root them out by their influence, leaks, and Law-breaking.

Tidewater Va

Tuesday, September 25, 2007 12:53 PM

I hear cursing in most venues from black males and white females mostly,

Different venue is school, based on the middle and high schools, I would say black females and white males are the most studious (only speaking of top of the class)of the crop in my area, but it is a tight race to a tie, for whom is the most debase, It's just a cactaphony of swearing and ebonics spoken by black and white alike.

I did not think teenagers could disgust me, as I was growing old, Ahhh, but they have. I am now officially an old-fogey

re:-- FreeProton

You write your War, we write ours, unless you would like us to take a guess at how it was for yours and call it History.

Not the same

I am white, some mixed Indian, but close enough,

Since childhood I have been verbally assaulted by blacks, in passing, strangers, in excess of easily 200 times. When giving some thought to the number of occurrences in 365 days times my age- minus the unproductive years, infancy, and now a homebody, it comes to about 300-400 times. This include black women of 15 years +

I have been physically assaulted by blacks, strangers, about 11 times, none which caused hospitalization.

I have never been physically assaulted by a white stranger, probably 20 times by acquaintances. None by black acquaintances,

I have been verbally assaulted, in passing, maybe 20 times by whites. Maybe 2 women.

I know nice black folk; I've seen a lot of mean, angry, black folk.

I've seen their behavior in crowds, i.e. Restaurants, bars, pool halls; I traveled in the US a lot in the past, east and west coast, about 400 trips.

Just sharing my experience.

My behavior? No challenge, staring, no fear displayed, just passing, or found myself in a gathering of angry people.

While doing necessary functions. Either for work or sustenance.

I have drawn no conclusions at this time, I wonder at upbringing, and frontal lobe quality of care in childhood - and education.

Nothing much I can do about it.

And I expect this experience is similar to other white males in this area over 45 years,

And expect this is why both black and white judges and prosecutors are energetically locking up blacks at an alarming rate, black women also,

My black acquaintances friends’ numbers are much higher than my own for blacks on blacks, and close or higher than my own for white on black. Varies as to where they are from… I have lived within a 3 mile radius since birth.

We have quite a bit of anger management work to do with our children, and adults sadly.

re: McCall

"" Or perhaps it is the medical and insurance industries he means to do no harm? As he stated, the costs of keeping the patients alive runs into the billions.""

As I understand it, insurance does not pay to keep anyone alive,

Most policies have a catastophic limit, 80,000 - 150,000 or so,

Anything above that and You are on your Own,

If the Dr. or hospital can legally or surrepticiously(sp)kill you, your dead. ie... get your family to agree

If she is not concious

Can I have her brain to play with...please...pretty please.

Tuesday, September 25, 2007 11:04 AM

Then none of us are concious.*

Back to square one.
