The CDC summary says that firearms deaths have increased a lot in 33 years. But they do not take note of the fact that a similar increase has taken place in Great Britain, even though "over there" gun laws have become so increasingly strict there is today a total ban on private firearms. Yet firearms deaths are twice as high (per capita) than they were in the '60s. Obviously, gun control isn't really a factor. We need to move past spurious gun debates and try to find out WHY violence is on the rise in Western civilization. But guns aren't the source of the problem.
I believe Trayvon's family has applied for these copyright protections in order to prevent these phrases being used for monetory gain by "entrapaneurs". The targets are as crass and tastless as anything can be. They are also hurtful to all of us that grieve Trayvon's death. Zimmerman brought unwarrented "Vigillanty Justice" to a nice kid with good parents who did not deserve to die. One does not have to be black to understand the injustice and cruelty that transpired last February. This white grandmother stands with Trayvon's parent and family, 100%.
Walker's "budget" on the environment reads like a nightmare after he GUTTED it and eliminated key postions all over the place from our state park system to county agencies "to be replaced with postions determined BY THE GOVERNOR"...the war on Wisconsin's environmental health, women, the rights of the middle class, education, and everyone/thing in btwn has not let up under this crook...I cry for my state but this is the "pro-life party".
Only for the "life of mega rich corporations, the wealthy and those who don't have to live here" and be left behind in the wreckage they leave behind because of greed. Sadly the stupid, the bigoted, the religious fanatics and the greed of the COC backed corporate hacks who benefit from his policies of the 1% will vote him back in on 06/05 because they just DON'T CARE about anyone or anything else even though it is voting to slit our own throats. I can't stand it anymore.
good comment, doc!
Come on America, insurance is the biggest scam ever. it used to be you paid it so the thugs didnt break your leg. now if you dont have it the thugs with the black and white cars with lights on the roof punish you if you dont have it.... unless you are a big corporation. that's right, many states allow big companies to post a bond against suits and be self insured.
how easy do you think it would be to get a check from GE if one of their vans scratched your car door?
You must be very, very wise to know that this one case is the only time in history that a company hurt someone out of negligence. Seriously, had you even read the article you are criticizing you wouldnt have written your rant.
Apparently you have never been involved in any litigation. If you had, you would know it is stressful, expensive, and time consuming. The outcome is unsure. I cant picture many people going through the whole process without something real behind it.
Sounds like you are the kind of person that believes every defendant in a criminal case is guilty and they did something to put themselves in that situation. Just like most judges, juries, and witnesses. The reality is that our constitution guarantees they are to be considered "innocent until proven guilty."
Morons like you think it will somehow do you good to be on the side of these corporations. Just wait until your insurance company decides it's time to pull the plug on YOU because it's too expensive to keep you alive.
