    Could it be that the justice system is so convoluted that it is next to impossible to prove "reasonable doubt" about a crime? Getting a conviction from a jury and swaying a movie/television audience are two completely different animals. Maybe we should take a look at the system itself. Remember, OJ got away too, and was only convicted in civil court...

    It is my understanding that moths pollinate more plants than bees. I have not heard of any studies investigating moth health. This is probably because they have no product (like honey)we can use so have no special interest spokespersons. Has anyone heard of any moth studies?

    It is possible and logical to be both a republic and a democracy. In the same way as I can be a man and a husband and a father, an animal and numerous other things. In fact a republic refers to a system where the affairs of state are a public matter. It is probable therefore that republics are most likely to be democracies because a democratic system is a system that provides for citizens to elect their representatives to to the governing body of a state.

    Incredible! I've worked for 43 years and filed my first unemployment claim after 35 years of employment. I paid taxes into a fund that allowed me to utilize those funds as a safety net. Systematically, WI would deny it's citizens use of "emergency" funds to care for themselves and their families. Conservative ideology will undue this country unless we vote these B*&%!*'s out of office. The governor of WI is not fiscally responsible, HE IS NOTHING LESS THAN A CORPORATE-SANCTIONED CRIMINAL. And he is not the only one! Please, pay attention, read, find out if your State representatives are ALEC members and RID your government assembly houses of these two-faced mobsters. ALEC members (legislative and corporate) are dangerous and are stealing our future.

    have you actually been inside those stores? Many of them offer small selections of organic/local produce, cheese, bread,milk.. basically if they are legally able to accept foodstamps, they have to go thru a process to actually be set up in the system to take foodstamps. in order to do that they have to meet requirements.. for example your local gas station offers some things like milk canned foods and some fruit, which is covered, while the beer that they also sell, that people might want to purchase with foodstamps is not. Just because someone comes out of a store with a brown paper bag, doesnt mean that they bought booze, it might just mean they dont like plastic bags, that are more harmful to the environment, then recycled paper bags.
