"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson |

] A 5-year-old girl was arrested, cuffed and put in back of ] a police cruiser after an outburst at school where she ] threw books and boxes, kicked a teacher in the shins, ] smashed a candy dish, hit an assistant principal in the ] stomach and drew on the walls. ] ] ] ] The students were counting jelly beans as part of a math ] exercise at Fairmount Park Elementary School when the ] little girl began acting silly. That's when her teacher ] took away her jelly beans, outraging the child. ] ] ] ] Minutes later, the 40-pound girl was in the back of a ] police cruiser, under arrest for battery.

I watched the debate. I could not believe how some members of congress struggled with the word AUTONOMOUS. Half looked like they were reading something - and couldn't read. It was so very political. They were so transparent. Our country is clearly in trouble. Congress Condemns Schiavo to Undeath! |

] The bill would make it much harder for families in ] distress to write off their debts and make a fresh start. ] Instead, many debtors would find themselves on an endless ] treadmill of payments. ] ] The credit card companies say this is needed because ] people have been abusing the bankruptcy law, borrowing ] irresponsibly and walking away from debts. The facts say ] otherwise. ] ] A vast majority of personal bankruptcies in the United ] States are the result of severe misfortune. One recent ] study found that more than half of bankruptcies are the ] result of medical emergencies. The rest are ] overwhelmingly the result either of job loss or of ] divorce. Paul Krugman was on the daily show railing about this bankruptcy bill, which we feels has not received adequate press coverage. I really think there has almost been an intentional HUSH of the coverage of this bill! The State | 03/09/2005 | Bankruptcy bill another blow to safety net |
