The Great Failure of the Inner City

This is the same year the senator from Chicago, Barack Obama was sworn in as the first black President of the United States of America?

The local school district was awarded $30 MILLION to help fight gangs. The schools year isn't hardly a month old and this is the scene in the streets? This is Barack's Chicago, right? We definitely need Change more than ever eh? We need responsibility. How could a police force not be able to tell when 100 kids are brawling in the streets and holding up traffic? Where is the accountability of every single "innocent" bystander in this country?

war on tobacco gone too far?

FDA bans flavored cigarettes - If you read closely, cigars are also classified as cigarettes.

I can't imagine unflavored tobacco tastes much better than a huge whiff of smoke from a camp fire with pile of old leaves thrown on top.

Now I don't really care about it since I don't smoke. But I did enjoy smoking every blue moon with friends. On vacation it is nice to buy a cigar also or perhaps to celebrate a newborn. In United States of America now I suppose this tradition is over. Cigars already have a somewhat harsh flavor that takes getting used to - but to be "flavorless" would make them utterly unpalatable. Why don't they just ban them all like marijuana? Tobacco is probably worse than marijuana. Oh I guess they are trying to slowly ween the country off them. There'd be some massive protest otherwise. But isn't it going too far to ban flavoring? There is a cigar shop next to where I work and I feel sorry for them to see them lose their business.




For the price of two of these puppies!

Akula

The Russians are Coming? - you must read the analysis at this link.



Russian sub 200 miles off Georgia coast and another playing around in the Caribbean. I like that quote "what's good for the goose is good for the gander". We police their border and they now police ours. Why they so concerned with the war in Afghanistan? His advice from Vietnam was that it was a war never should have started. War Pigs.

No, just showmanship. More on the Akula
