#1 One fine point. Politicians might turn the lawlessness into the lawful by passing laws, but: Currently, Politics = Lawlessness

#2 that's not Brown. That's some Portlandia POS named Joda Cain that killed his Great-Grandmoms last year. Frank G.

Thanks Frank G. for correcting my post earlier this week of a photo of the alleged victim. I was also incorrect in my assessment of Officer Wilson's weapon. Appears it was a SIG .40, not a 9mm.

#3 Rule of law is what seperates the first world from third world. Its a bit shakey in the US at present and in some communities it is discarded in favor of tribal politics. Very sad.

I believe a good President can restore the US economically and regards to our place in the world but race relations will take generations to repair after this administration.

#4 I am very optimistic as well Richard. What is truly amazing is the republic has survived as well as it has under this oppressive bastard and his tribal lieutenants. If we can only make it through the next 18 months or so.

Looked like Brown at 16 to me. But all the pictures of Brown I have seen are him robbing a store video and what looks like one years old on somebody's t-shirt. Nothing nice and current, like a senior's cap-and-gown photo.

#7 Should the Pubs win both houses in 2014. Harry Reid would not be the bottleneck (read pain-in-the-a$$) in the Senate. Legislation could be passed in both the House and the Senate. However, without a supermajority in both houses, Obumble has the power of the veto. He is an ideologue and not particularly reasonable. It would appear that gridlock would continue--at least until 2016. The Pubs position would only be slightly better than it is now. What might happen in 2016 is anybody's guess. To get anything done, the Pubs would have to have both houses and the Presidency. That could happen in 2016. The next two years are going to seem like 20 with the present dipwad occupying the Whitehouse.
