    <blockquote>Treyvon Martin was suspended from school for drugs at the time he assaulted zimmerman..."</blockquote> Oh, so it was open season on kids suspended from school for drugs. <blockquote>...hense all of the attention they raised about the case instead of mourning their sons death quietly like most people would have done."</blockquote> So, if their son had been shot to death by some armed, adrenaline-junky vigilante out hunting for hoodies and the cops hadn't arrested his killer, you think "most people" would just "mourn quietly" and not raise the cry for justice? You yourself would have just "mourned quietly"? Yeah, right. If Zimmerman hadn't been armed he might have thought twice before he went looking for trouble, especially from somebody who looked as menacing as you think Trayvon Martin did; Martin would have just gone home with his snacks, and the whole thing would never have happened. The more guns in circulation, the more violence we'll have. It's that simple.

    So are you saying there is no issue with the debt? Dean Baker seems to think that the debt is not a problem, others do. One potential isue on the horizon: any normalization of interest rates will explode the line item for interest to service that debt. Maybe not a catastrophe but potentially a huge problem ( much greater than the $85 billion in sequestration cuts that could be coming)

    WOW! I suggest you immediately return to school as it is painfully obvious that you slept through all your classes the first time.
