Report: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's repeated requests for a lawyer were ignored
Once again I only wonder, as we opted to try Tsarnaev in criminal court, if his will have implications for his case if a good defense attorney makes it an issue..
The Dow made history today, hitting 15,000 after a strong jobs report
For every rise there’s a fall. Lets hope the economy is rising finally and that happy days are indeed here again.. Until the next economic autumn sets in.
However reality cannot escape me.. I don’t see the ‘happy days’ for the 99% yet.
The description sounds both horrific and magical. Nature is amazing.
I believe this is more history that won’t be taught in schools…
Wooden teeth must have been strong…
But God was with this little colony .. Right?
A new CNN/Time/ORC International Poll indicates four in 10 Americans say they are willing to give up some civil liberties to fight terrorism, and suggests worries about terrorism have edged up after the Boston Marathon bombings.
A CNN news alert that was just sent to me from the network..
In my opinion these numbers are somewhat troubling, as the threat of terrorism may be there the chances of you actually being affected by it are quite slim..
The thought of giving up civil liberties and basic freedoms in America just to combat something that will never completely be prevented is flawed logic.
This is always a battle, the battle between freedom and security, civil liberties and safety.. But does it have to be a battle?
You have to admit that law-enforcement agencies did their collective job and apprehended not only the terrorists days after the Boston Marathon but three more today involved with a conspiracy to lie and hide information.. They did that without the 4 in 10 giving up more of their civil liberties, right?
Although we have compromised quite a few liberties over the past decade, with the patriot act and wiretapping and all the rest, the question really remains should we give up any more than we already have, and if we did would it matter a hill of beans are not in the fight against future terrorist acts in this nation
The police response in Boston was massive in the days following the bombing, and the lockdown in Watertown was quite chilling, with all those military vehicles roaming the streets and police freely entering homes with guns drawn on innocent families..
We should support our law enforcement, and the law-enforcement should be free to conduct investigations and their jobs.. But we should also hold them at bay if they step over the line that has been drawn in this country for hundreds of years..
For all of the flaws in this nation we didn’t get where we are by giving up our basic freedoms, and we certainly will make no positive steps in making a deal to give up more..
Before we travel down this road, and before the foreign can become six and 10 or 10 in 10, we should have a very deep and thoughtful national discussion about this topic.. We should be wary of anyone who says they giving up our liberties would equal safety.. That is a snake oil recipe for disaster sold by the devil himself..
Let’s be careful folks, it is a dangerous world, but a future society with no freedoms could be much more dangerous than society that cherishes freedoms..
This is pretty big news from Boston today, as three more suspects have been arrested involved with the Boston Marathon massacre..
So I guess you can score one for the conspiracy theorists out there, as these three were charged with conspiracy.. Just not the conspiracy that the conspiracy theorists proclaimed was behind the bombing

This is a video of the crash at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.. The crash killed seven.. the video is chilling. And if you ever saw the film THE KNOWING, this scene is very similar to one that takes place in that film..
BBC report: AIRLINER HAD ‘NARROW MISS WITH UFO’ *This is a mainstream news report.. this is an amazing article..
The video shows a man on the ground and at least four others punching and kicking him repeatedly. One woman even hits him with a hammer-like object.
So this is where we are now, as people? This is it?
McCain: Obama should ‘be prepared’ to act on Syria weapons
Just imagine if it was Stinky’s second term…
MANTOLOKING, N.J. (AP) — The 9-year-old girl who got New Jersey’s tough-guy governor to shed a tear as he comforted her after her home was destroyed is bummed because she now lives far from her best friend and has nowhere to hang her One Direction posters.
This is a must read.. we stopped attention too soon (like we do every time a disaster hits this planet..)
