| Stunned by Lack of Outrage, Not Outrageous Acts
I continue to be stunned. Not by Bush any longer. There was a time when I was stunned by nearly everything he did. Or said. Who wouldn't be stunned by a president who could say, "They misunderestimated me," and sincerely believe he's on top of things? Nor by Cheney. His pure evil no longer surprises me, although there was a time when he routinely stunned me. Torture? Torture?? Not by Congress, either. There was a time when I was stunned by that crowd's sheeplike mentality. I'd hear them decry the war, decry torture, decry Bush's growing deficit, then I'd drop my jaw as they voted time and again to give the president carte blanche. No longer. I fully expect Congress to disappoint, to fail to do its job in balancing the White House power grab.
Marina District foes want state probe of Murray
Odd the company can't pay taxes but can hire Dennis Junior to sue others for their business blunders. Finally, didn't they receive tax abatement to bulid that architectual monstrosity? Let's face it the Murrays are a prime example of the old saying it takes one generation to build wealth and two to blow it all. Emmett and Thomas would be appalled. " .
Similarities to other massacres - but this was a very Finnish affair
I, as a natural selector, will eliminate all who I see unfit, disgraces of human race and failures of natural selection. You might ask yourselves, why did I do this. Well, most of you are too arrogant and closed-minded to understand. I am ready to die for a cause I know is right, just and true. This is my war, my ideas and my plans. Don’t blame my parents or my friends. I told nobody about my plans and I always kept them inside my mind only. Don’t blame the movies I see, the music I hear, the games I play or the books I read. No, they had nothing to do with this. This is my war: one man war against humanity, governments and weak-minded masses of the world! HUMANITY IS OVERRATED! It’s time to put SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST back on tracks!"

CCISD ponders schools' future
CORPUS CHRISTI Three possible bond dates. Four possible bond options. Corpus Christi Independent School District trustees Friday learned scenarios for a possible multimillion-dollar bond election within the next year and a half to renovate facilities. The district's chief financial officer, R. Xavier Gonzalez, presented bond-package options for $70 million, $95 million, $116 million and $166 million. While taxpayers wouldn't see an increase with the first three options, they would with the $166 million plan. Board President Bill Clark said the presentations, which also included a look at the district's student population, will guide discussions on financing possibilities. "We're seeing a migration to the Southside," he said. "That could mean addressing facilities there and consolidating other campuses." While trustees and Superintendent Scott Elliff said Friday's preliminary discussions were the first step at looking at needs and financing them, Gonzalez also presented three dates for when a bond election could be presented to taxpayers: May 10, 2008, Nov.

Society depends on more for less
I have 2 non efficient cars 3.2 litre Merc & 4.0 litre Jag, the first covers approx 5000 miles per year the latter 2000 miles. I can assure you that I polute the environment less than your average 1.0 litre car driven every day! Remember not to class us all in the same bracket!Douglas Ronald, Kirkcaldy/Fife Not only is Sir Mark Moody absolutely correct. He just became somebody for whom I have a lot of regard. So many people are willing to disregard their humanity in this day and age. We're much more robust than we give ourselves credit for. Good on you Sir Moody. Arno Hayes, Cape Town, South Africa At last, someone with a bit of sense instead of all this global warming hype that is bandied about. Yes, we as a race are responsible for some of the problems but the Earth has had periods of heat and cold for billions of years.
