  5. The ACLU is threatening to sue a group of Tennesse on Worst Censorware Blocks Cannot Be Fixed · · Score: 1
    First off let me be clear. I could care less what
    direction a person leans in their own world.
    I'm in mine and I have my views.

    Now The ACLU has no business what so ever in
    trying to unblock these sites.

    Why? Cause Teaching kids that to be LGBT is not
    the school districts responsibility. That
    responsibility lies with the parents and the
    parents alone. You see there is this little thing called the 3 R's that I was taught when
    I was in School in Tennessee. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.
    Along with those 3 basic courses there was
    also History, Geography, World History,
    And a whole host of other classes that were designed to
    prepare you for the life of a responsible adult.
    I've watched the Education system
    go from something that the Americans could be
    Proud of to something that is akin to timed
    concentration camps. The biggest problem
    is that the fed stepped in and fucked the
    system. Put Education back into the local system for the local area knows what
    the area will need from these kids in the future.

    Not every one is going to go to college or all
    over the world. Most will stay in their
    local area and try to enjoy a good and wholesome
    life. Stop trying to shove something on the people that may not
    want it. If they are LGBT or
    whatever their choice of the week is then they can do those
    things in the privacy of their own home.

    Again it is up to the individual and their parents to decide not the ACLU.

    Google Inc.'s two billionaire founders, both 32 years old, will soon be cruising the skies in a Boeing 767 wide-body airliner. They bought the used plane earlier this year, Mr. Page says. [Sergey Brin] The 767-200, typically an airline workhorse, is an unusual executive jet. It commonly carries about 180 passengers. Delta Air Lines operates over one hundred 767s. The Italian Air Force has ordered a modified 767 as an airborne tanker for refueling military jets. The 767-200 is almost 70% longer and more than three times as heavy as a conventional executive jet, such as a high-end Gulfstream. Mr. Page says his plane will hold about 50 passengers when its refurbishment is complete. A top Gulfstream business jet typically carries 15 or fewer. He declines to give other details. People in the aviation industry familiar with the planned interior say it will have a sitting area, two staterooms with adjoining lavatories and a shower. Farther aft will be a large sitting-and-dining area. At the rear will be 12 to 16 first-class seats for guests or employees and a large galley. Tech moguls delight in public one-upmanship and the Google founders' 767 raises the bar. Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen owns a fleet of aircraft, but his flagships -- two Boeing 757s -- are smaller than Messrs. Brin and Page's 767.

    And this is why.

    The prison industry in the United States: big business or a new form of slavery?

    BY VICKY PELAEZ (Taken from El Diario-La Prensa, New York)

    HUMAN rights organizations, as well as political and social ones, are condemning what they are calling a new form of inhumane
    exploitation in the United States, where they say a prison population of up to 2 million - mostly Black and Hispanic - are working
    for various industries for a pittance. For the tycoons who have invested in the prison industry, it has been like finding a
    pot of gold. They don't have to worry about strikes or paying unemployment insurance, vacations or comp time. All of their workers
    are full-time, and never arrive late or are absent because of family problems; moreover, if they don't like the pay of 25 cents an
    hour and refuse to work, they are locked up in isolation cells.

    There are approximately 2 million inmates in state, federal and private prisons throughout the country. According to California Prison
    Focus, "no other society in human history has imprisoned so many of its own citizens." The figures show that the United States has
    locked up more people than any other country: a half million more than China, which has a population five times greater than the
    U.S. Statistics reveal that the United States holds 25% of the world's prison population, but only 5% of the world's people. From
    less than 300,000 inmates in 1972, the jail population grew to 2 million by the year 2000. In 1990 it was one million. Ten years ago
    there were only five private prisons in the country, with a population of 2,000 inmates; now, there are 100, with 62,000
    inmates. It is expected that by the coming decade, the number will hit 360,000, according to reports.

    What has happened over the last 10 years? Why are there so many prisoners?
