I can't really believe that the premise that black people are not as intelligent, capable or ambitious as any other race has gotten too far. First it was that they weren't as intelligent so we have to let them into colleges with lower skills so that when they drop out, people can say,' see,I told you they couldn't do it'. Now we are being told they are incapable of obtaning a state identification card. I wonder that now we will have to chaufer them to the store, school and every place they want to go because they can't do it themselves? Why have we perpetuated this horrible idea that because they are black they aren't capable of doing the same things the rest of us do? I think I would be insulted if I was catagorized like that.

This is a wonderful explanation of why we can't compare America to Switzerland in things like student scores, welfare, medical statistics, etc. We are like crabapples and delicious appletrees. We just don't have the same problems to deal with. Let's stop trying to compare us to tiny homogenous countries and tackle our own problems in our own way. We are different and great. Hope we can stay that way.

Somewhere in the distant past I remember that this country had freedom, and was ruled by the majority. We vote and win, or lose, by a majority ,the laws in Congress go up or down by a majority, our town councils detemine the rules for the city by a majority, but now and individual can to court and change things for everyone else by a single judges's decision. This particular ruling does not take into consideration what all the females may feel about having a man in the restroom with them, even if he does wear a dress. The more little laws like this are put into place, the sooner the bigger and more important laws will be changed to reflect what a few people want and the rest of us and just lump it!

If you want to talk about the Mormon Massacre at Meadow Mountain, look up the edict from the Govenor of Missouri that Mormons are to be "exterminated" from Missouri. Their property was taken, they were forced to leave, during winter, mostly on foot and many had been killed in separate forays on the settlements. What the Mormons did at Mountain wasn't right, but if you had been in their shoes, forced out of your home on and had friends and family dead from it, you also might have been afraid to have a company from Missouri come to 'visit you'. It's a lot easier to judge others actions as terrible, than to wonder what you might have done in the same place.

Hi- Why doesn't Romney use his Bain experience by Interview working people who have invested in Bain and now supplement their S.S. with their retun from those investments. Also why not interview the people that started businesses, like Staples, that benefitted from Bain and stress the many companies, that we all use, that have been become successful with Bain's guideance and support? Be positive!

Mr. Williams- Are you ever in touch with Jesse Jackson? Could you ever ask him what happened to the man that encouraged black youth, as well as all other races, to go to school and demand an education. This old white lady remembers it, why doesn't he? At that time he was telling the youth to raise themselves up, today he encourages all outrageous behavior and blames it on others. Does he, and others like him, really care about them or it is all power and prestige for themselves?

Saying that changing the legal definition of marrige will lead to legalization of polygamy is only looking at the tip of the iceberg. Don't kid yourself the others are waiting in the wings and starting, very slowly at the present, to do away with age limits on marriage. Why should the government have any more to say about a person's age than sex? If a child of 10 is in love why should the government intefere? In times and places past children have married at that age and borne many children in their teens, (of course the fact that they probably would die in their 30's may have given them a chance to raise their children may have had something to do with it,) but times are different now and it isn't a matter of life being so short.

One of the things that Obama has not bragged about doing for the Black comunity is to help the teenagers that are rapidy going into prison see that there is something better than gangs, drugs and welfare. They are taught that all they have to do is wait for the welfare check, spend it on drugs and booze, and when that runs out, rob a store or sell more drugs. I have written many times that in Jesse Jackson's early days he told the black youth to 'go to school and DEMAND an education. That would have helped the youth more that additional welfare. It is never too late for good changes that actually give people of all colors and races a better life.

You didn't go far enough with the statement "separation of church and state". As you said, it isn't in our Constitution, but it is in the RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION'. It took me a long time to find it, but I finally did, so now we are quoting the Russian constitution instead of our own. Times and thoughts have really changed.

One of the coming events associated with same-sex marriage is the creeping start of marriage, or sex of any kind being acceptable, normal and none of anyone else's business. There are faint rumblings now as we see on TV touted- polygamy, brother-sister marriage, children being fully aware of adult sex lives and making it funny, children made to look act and talk adults. It will be very slow, but steady. Don't bother to call me stupid, idiot, etc., I have been called that many times in the past, but the tihings I said then are what is happening now.
