@2 He doesn't have to be head of state, just have a diplomatic passport. Otherwise, Cardinal Law would be in prison. However, he will be a prisoner in his gilded cage.

Sorry @14 and Dan. This women is a sleaze bag. I don't agree that she is "teaching," she is using. An age difference, even a big one, is no big deal as long as both partners have the maturity to deal with it. Neither of these people have that maturity. She definitely didn't leave this "campsite" better off.

As I am an educator, I would like to throw my two cents in. Most of the great reformers, including our president came out of those horrible public schools. I find it amazing that we tend to forget this point. I would also like to say that I believe that like the heath care business in this country who only makes money if we are sick and so is never interested in that socialist plot of preventive care, the so-called broken school system is 'broken' in large part because 'fixing' these schools has become a multi-billion dollar business where profits are only possible as long as we keep identifying 'failing' schools. What if all that money were really invested in schools? what kind of change could we make? Yes, there are improvements to be made, but until we accept that a large part of the leaning gap is due to the fact that 25% of our children are being raised in poverty and that a large number of parents, rich and poor, have pretty much abdicated their role of parent, we will continue investing in the wrong place and insuring one day that one of the greatest strengths of this country, a universal, public school system, will disappear like it has in a lot of Latin American countries. in those places, the quality of your children's education is directly dependent on your ability to pay out of your pocket.

If I'm not mistaken this is from the "White Horse" Prophecy.

Again, this is why I avoid US carriers as much as possible. If more people would start doing this, things might approve. Planes are becoming the the Greyhouds of air travel. Service sucks at every level, and they act like they neither want nor need customers. Let's show them what their business looks like without customers.

Once again, a government that doesn't represent it's people. How does this keep happening in a democracy? If Israel wants to go to war, that is on them.

What has me the most horrified is that this information has not brought the American people into the streets. We get and got the government we deserve.

Sounds to me like another good republican at work.

Anyone who didn't see that he's a dude wasn't looking. Really? They missed that?

I like the idea of mixed ads as well, but we have to be a bit more agressive in our sales job. We can't do anything if we lose this campaign. I don't believe that the end justifies the means, but I do believe that one has to take a stand.
