Maddow At CPAC 2010 Conference (VIDEO)

Liberals attack? Then what do you call the Republican reaction to what they disagree with? I'd call it berserk blitzkrieg of insanity!

You see, liberals have some respect for the process of intelligent debate and if they are lying, they have the intelligence to mask it very well, because they know that their party constituents will investigate and pick apart any untruths.

While conservatives just outright lie without any backup because they know the cattle they call party constituents will feverishly lap it up with no criticism.

Simply put: The Democrats want every American to have the opportunity to be successful. In the current state of our nation corporate greed is the single greatest threat to the average American citizen because they pollute and steal our money. The Republicans want everything to stay the same or to solely benefit the wealthiest Americans because they are the main source of support for the party. That being the case, of course wealthy conservatives want to protect their own interests to their fullest ability greed is a powerful motivator.

Conservatives To Sign 'Mount Vernon Statement': Principles For The Obama Era

Well do you expect the repairing of America to be free? Those Presidents had all the opportunity in the world to invest in American infrastructure and citizens, and chose not to. It's like someone who drives a car without ever doing maintenance on it, when it breaks it costs much much more than the maintenance would have in the first place.

Instead of innovating for the prosperity of the American citizen, they innovated solely for the elite wealthy to reap even more from the people's work.

Glenn Beck On Captured Taliban Commander: 'Shoot Him In The Head!' (VIDEO)

The action Beck is calling for is exactly the sort of thing that terrorists would do, the hypocrisy will never end for the nouveau right ultra conservatives and the folks that cater to, and those that lap up their brand of anti-humanity hate spew.

Vigilantism is what you call it, and Beck better hope no-one wishes the same for him due to his inflammatory and deceptively unpatriotic rhetoric. Beck is the poster boy for the dumbing down of America so we can be fed to the corporations without a big fight. We would all be better off without him-shoot him in the head!

Johnny Weir Threats 'Very Serious': Anti-Fur Groups Worry Olympic Skater

Our position at the top of the food chain, combined with the unique power to willingly shape our environment and our self awareness, imposes upon us the need to care for the balance of life on earth. Our power does not give us the right to run roughshod over all of nature without penalty, in fact we are beholden to choose the correct path of long term survival of our species which depends on the preservation of the balance of nature and it's cycles. Like the wild animals below us, we evolved to survive off the land, and with our success came local, then global overpopulation. While we must eat, we must also be civil and treat our food animals with the respect one would give for a person who gives their life for others to survive. Our capacity for compassion in itself demands that we use it or be less than human.

The equal right to life for animals does not equate to an individual persons own priorities about who's survival is important. We have our priorities and with the infinite diversity of the human mind that is ok. But mistreating food can only bring us bad karma. Clothing can be made entirely free of dead animal parts, so I do not see why the real dead stuff should be used, If Kervorkian was the one who chose how they died I might be more relaxed, but greed and profit are solely regarded when deciding how animals should die.

Nodar Kumaritashvili Crash VIDEO: Winter Olympics Luge Slider DEAD (GRAPHIC PHOTOS)

Get over it! Pain and death happen!

Stop being selfish and let yourselves feel the pain that these images portray. Is it better that you do not have it burned into your mind, or that you actually pay the respect due to the man and the way he died. While it is not enjoyable to see these images, is it far worse to disregard the lessons they offer.



RESPECT HIS DEATH BY FEELING THE TRUE WEIGHT OF IT!

Really, just sit there and think of his family, so proud-then horrified. Or the other athletes, the best times ever-now death stained. The track designer! thrilled at the fastest course ever-I cannot imagine their thoughts now.



Those who cannot appreciate the finality of death, will never live life to it's fullest. Like all emotions sadness takes healthy practice to master.

Nodar Kumaritashvili Crash VIDEO: Winter Olympics Luge Slider DEAD (GRAPHIC PHOTOS)

Very sad to lose a life in such a peaceful competition between nations, as so many are lost due to hateful wars.

Although the photographs are very explicitly disturbing, the emotions they evoke in the reader are the closest that we will come to empathizing the feelings of those survivors who endured the accident in the firsthand.

We all can use a bit of empathy for the real suffering of others, it is painful to see, but it builds character. This is not another slick catastrophe to be grouped in with the rest of the "news".

Take the time to appreciate the gravity of the loss, as opposed to wasting it while spouting off about how the pictures offend you.

Death hurts on a multitude of levels, we should not be insulated from that fact.

Black Hole Simulator Uses Real Star Data To Take You Inside The Black Hole (VIDEO)

This animation is a supposition, a stab at graphically depicting the (intelligently imagined) appearance of a black hole by using what we know mixed with what we theorize. This exercise is not intended to show what is out there, it is to show what MIGHT be out there (an educated guess). The imagination is crucial in discovering what is as of yet unknown, when combined with knowledge and theory.

Some would say that this necessity for an explanation is the origin of mythology and religion. While religion and mythology rely on faith as the main component, science uses theory and experimentation to work out the questions, or shall I say the answers.
