    Native American child sent home over traditional mohawk

    Reba, the problem is that whites have NO BUSINESS telling the ORIGINAL inhabitant's descendents how to live their lives. I would suggest you read a chapter by Rajiv Malhotra on American Exceptionalism and the Myth of the Frontier: http://www.medhajournal.com/images/pdf/RajivM/rm_chapter9.pdf...

    America's Poorest Cities Are….

    The decline of western civilization. What goes around comes around. Sometimes, immediately, sometimes, later in life, and sometimes in another life altogether.

    Native American child sent home over traditional mohawk

    THIS is one of several reason why I didn't have children. This is wrong, a western-run administration telling Native Americans how they can dress and look, and yet demanding a letter from the parents' "parents," the NA official who wrote the letter. The school officials have NO RIGHT to tell...

    Police uncover house of horrors in Florida

    I wonder what this means for the neighbors next door - will they be able to sell their houses? Or will they have to modify their house to make sure she can't get inside? Will they have to modify their work schedule so they are not caught out in the dark, when they could be attacked by...

    Explosive wildfire in California

    My friend just alerted me to something this morning. How about the fact that the fires burn power lines to the houses? Not only do the water wells not function without power, and you have no water, you also can't DO ANYTHING without power. That just kicked up the CA evacuation schedule up a...

    World’s Dirtiest Man: 80 Year Old Iranian Man Hasn’t Bathed in 60 Years

    Very unfortunate, sad, to me that is. I had thought about doing that when I was younger. I don't know... I've had to keep in check the strong urge to just let go and retreat fully to the earth, as I am Ancient in origin from childhood. However, after seeing this and learning about Hinduism...

    Have you ever raised rent cost on your roommate(s)?

    Not getting involved with this... I had a room situation in which I rented a room, and I was attacked by the house owner over something trivial. Needless to say, I ended up moving out that night with friends' help in one hour while she went to jail overnight. Another one was when another...

    Squatter sell of family belongings .

    Even worse than this was one of two things: Squat the house in order to steal the HOUSE. During the housing bust (and this was particularly bad in Florida), there were several web sites that taught one how to squat the house to claim ownership of it. Another thing that was done was to strip...

    Access to multimedia via captioning would be a possibility. Access to jobs is another one.

    Daycare workers arrested

    18 to 60 months IS NOT ENOUGH! Some of those kids could end up moving here and killing me 15-20 years from now.

    Are graduate studies worth the trouble?

    It depends... If you want to become a teacher/professor, fine, but not something like liberal arts with no needed specialization. The latter is an example of a "degree mill" operating with legal, official sanction by the state, and I got burned bad by this. If you already have a Masters, GO...

    Deaf Protest, Washington, DC., Sept. 6-9

    This is way too close. You ought to have made notice like 4-8 months ago to allow for planning and getting enough people to show up. I wish you the best of luck, though. I have already more or less decided to step out of the western labor force.

    Sentenced to Over 2300 Years in Prison for Child Pornography

    He will, eventually, if he lives enough lives to total 2,300 years before he reaches moksha or liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth. Otherwise, Western civilization must have had this sentencing limit in order to account for the possibility of people being able to live many times...

    What's the last thing you bought?

    I bought 11' of door seal for one of my storage compartment doors and a shower parts replacement kit for my travel trailer. Now, I can shower like RVers can.

    Is life harder for the deaf?

    Yes, definitely, it is harder. However, in my case, it makes it much easier to live alone as a Sannyasi and working to pull away from the material world to be able to leave for good at the time of passing.
