		<description>it is almost hilarious that you want to lump bush into the &quot;far right&quot;

it is too bad that you are so brainwashed as to think that because there is a delay and the person the media claims is in charge is somewhat right of center that the issue is rascism.

Am I saying that rascism is not a problem? No I am not saying that at all...As a nonrascist that the Southern Poverty Law Center declares a rascist (by their definitions everyone&#039;s rascist),I am reminding you that it is not the far-right that shows the most rascism but your people that have slept in and not realized that we arent in the 19th century anymore. Hell, even The League of the South and Christian Exodus speak in favor of racial equality (declaring that God is colorblind does count as proequality). Now it is a given that there are rascist elements in them that are trying to deceive those who agree with the leaders but you got that everywhere (the left is included...calling someone a rascist because they are white, southern and evangelical is rascist as well).</description>

		<description>Thank you, Kathy!  And my heartiest congratulations on your daughters wonderful achievements.  I am happy we agree on the value of an education - we agree on something!!! When my mom&#039;s family came over (pre-welfare state),they were shuffled straight to to the Eastern European ghetto.  Twenty years later - no one from the family was there -ONLY because of the value of education.  I hope your daughter continues to make you proud.</description>

She was not eligible for most scholarships because she got a 23 on the ACT and most merit scholarships in America are for students that have at least a 28 or better on their Act scores. Isn&#039;t America great?</description>

		<description>Ms. Aphrodite:

If you want more information on the formation of the ghettos in America, please read &quot;When Work Disappears: The World of the New Urban Poor&quot; by William Julilus Wilson.  It will enlighten your mind and give you a different perspective of life in the ghetto.  It is not by chance that most of the poor of New Orleans lived in the area that at most risk for flooding.  This area was heavily Black and no gave a good damn about their welfare.  It makes no sense that in a country as wealthy as America should people be allowed to swim in their own feces for five days.  It does not matter if they were poor, rich, black, white, blue. Also, I do agree with your statement about the value of an education in this country.  The system is setup for the advancement of people who have a college degree. My own daughter is a freshman in college and she maintained a 4.5 grade point average while working part-time and I had her when I was sixteen years old.  Just because you wait to get married to have children does not mean that your children will be little angels (Paris Hilton, The Bush Twins).  Please stop feeding into the many negative stereotypes about poor Blacks and look into the mirror.  Hurricane Katrina exposed America&#039;s dirty little secret about the existence of poverty and for that I am glad.</description>

		<description>Why is everybody so shocked that President Gomer Pyle
once again showed what a jack-off he is? You blame the
voters because if someone puts a gun in the hands of a
chimp and the gun goes off nobody is going to blame the
chimp.With respect to the price gouging,it did&#039;nt happen overnight,they told us a lie and saw how well it
worked then pumped up the price of gas and told another lie.Just in case you don&#039;t see where this is going,it&#039;s alot easier to swindle the class retard than the captain of the debate team.</description>
