Stay Tuned.


I'm sure I can top it.

Learn something new everyday. KKK has Summer Camps ? And, Goats KNOW this how ? I've never seen that covered anywhere. It doesn't seem like it would be a very good recruiting tool sitting around a Burning Cross Down South in Summertime Mississippi, Alabama or the like. It might keep those Sparrow-Sized Mosquitoes away though.

What I have seen of those Klan guys is that their spelling probably more closely resembles that of the Goat's than mine. Their breeding with relatives (and Goats ?) probably doesn't lead to Intellectual excellence.

You are all wrong.


Thank you, Dennis. Your responses have been responsible. For sure, both sides are culpable. We can only hope that this can stand as an isolated event and that the tension defuses. We all stand to lose if it escalates further.

Well, I watched the enhanced video on FOX NEWS tonight, and with my DVR was able to run it over and over again-----and from what I saw the shooting was justified, and my wife agrees. This BP Agent is a 10 year veteran and it is said is a good man-----there was at least one guy within 20 feet of the Agent with a large brick-size rock in his hand and he was posturing like he intended to use it.

If it was me-------BANG !!! It is a "him or me" situation, from what I see. That's my "responsible" critique of that video, coupled with comments from those interviewed. I am sure there is more to come.

Mood: Savoring life while saving the world!

"But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate,
Badness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love,

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practice what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us
Send us some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'

Where is the love?

It just ain't the same, always unchanged
New days are strange, is the world insane
If love and peace is so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations droppin' bombs
Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young
So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone
So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong
In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin'
in
Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother
A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover
The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love
Where's the love?"
~Song by Black Eyed Peas-Where is the love?~

Am I angry? Of course!
But what good does it do me to be angry at the person who pulled the trigger, since I don't know what was going through his mind at that moment.
It's not upon us to judge other people, although sometimes we take it upon ourselves.
My prayers go out to the mother of the child and to the man who killed him, because I'm sure he is having trouble sleeping at night, whether by self defense or pure cruelty, killing a child is not something I expect anyone to take lightly, even by someone who has cold blood.




Live life as well as you can,
don\'t regret the things that once made you smile,
learn from your mistakes,
and thank God for every second he gives you upon this earth.

Rocks today, guns tomorrow. What in the heck are these kids doing throwing rocks at the US border patrol? Why won't the Mexican officials control 'em? Too bad. Nothing good is gonna come of this whole situation. For every SiReNiTA there's a hundred like the kid that was killed.

Oh yea, Racism, that's the answer. A white offender is given a pat on the back and a group hug. The brown, black, yellow, or red offender is shot or beaten. :biggrin: Liberal dogma. :barf:

There are always sociopaths around in every profession------they should be prosecuted and jailed, cops included. But to brand a profession by a few bad apples is just as bad, it seems to me.

Right on. The birth of a new term....NATIONALITIST.
Good timing 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing that warn out, watered down term...RACIST. It doesn't mean anything anymore.

Mexican TV is really playing up the human side of the issue .... the funeral today was very emotional with the sister hysterical.....a kid is a kid.

maybe the law should be changed - shoot to deter. not to kill.
