DU we are going to have to agree to disagree
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 11:05 PM by Melodybe
Lets not discuss MJ or OJ or Arthur Anderson again.

It is obviously a sore subject and there is much else that I would like to talk about.

We disagree, lets move on.

So global warming is real, nice to know, albeit horrifying.

I'm excited about Conyers getting his 500,000+ signatures.

I'm glad more memos are coming out of the British government, I'm glad that the corporate media is being forced to report on it.

I'm glad that Dean is still kicking ass and taking names.

I'm still looking for people to volunteer to get permits for the Millions Against the Media Marches on Feb. 1, 2006 (10th Anniversary of the telecommunications act) in NY, DC, SF, Chicago, and Miami. I've got Atlanta covered, watch out CNN headquarters, I have a middle finger just waiting to flash you.

I'm still looking for folks to help draft a Democratic Contract with America for us to have ready to give to all dems running for congress next year.

I apologize for giving the appearance that I do not care about our constitution or our procedure of law. That is not the case, however, sometimes the guilty do get away, and that doesn't make their actions any less illegal.

Now to end this on a hopeful note, may the next trial of the century be bushco's trial at the Hague.

2. Good idea -
2006 is coming fast. Let's start working together as much as possible, and on things that really matter.

17. Perhaps we could march against wrongfull imprisonment?
Edited on Mon Jun-13-05 11:38 PM by personman
Oh, I hear some us aren't in to that.

Sometimes I guess it's just easier to cuss at someone then to defend an irrational opinion. You do realize we are liberals, open minded, make your case, we're listening. Tell us why someone who hasn't been proven to have done anything wrong should go to jail.

20. In Gitmo, I'm with you. Abu same thing.
But MJ needs to be in an insane asylum, and away from children.

The man is lucky that they had no case. I'll agree that they had no case, and of course I am against tainted evidence and what not, but to be arguing over a nutball like Jackson is beneath us.

7. I'm big that way.
I still disagree and I'm still shocked that so many here are cheering this decision.

I'll get over it, I'll AGREE TO DISAGREE!

I've bookmarked the R/PC website. PM me about the MAMM in Feb. 2006 in Atlanta. l be there if I can plan to take off from work way in advance.

Peace. CB.

9. How about a Millions Against the Media march in Los Angeles?
We have a tiny bit of a celeberity obsession here. Can't figure out why.:shrug:

10. LA and SF are great, the more places the better
But we need permits to make this happen and without someone on the ground in all those cities this is all just talk.

19. Please pm details on the Media Marches to me.
I can help you rustle up lots of people in SF by sending to the Defeat Arnold Yahoo! group and to Calif. for Democracy, groups that helped organize 10,000 people for a rally against $chwarzenegger. I'm sure those folks would love to turn out for this!

22. Suggestion
You may have already done this, but have you hit the state forums? I know they move slowly, but it might be a good way to get a local. What about an ad on Air America? Maybe they'd even let it be done for free?

24. Yeah, dropped like a stone though
I e-mailed Skinner about a perminate thread on it, so fingers crossed that maybe he'll do it.

I figure once the permits are in place we can start contacting all the big blogs and AAR.

I'll go back and try again though.

23. We are never all going to be on the same page
But I'd stay away from those other sites whose hobby is just to make us look bad. I'd say on the whole--our motives are much more pure than theirs.
We don't embrace pedophiles. We just embrace the letter of the law being upheld.
Nice post.:grouphug:

26. You are welcome.
You have never written anything that set of my "right-dar".
I know there are a couple of issues that I lean a little further right on than most on this board (and have been thusly whipped)
but you didn't deserve to be hanged for your opinion.
Good luck--kicking this for you so that people can follow your links.
