Cigarette shoplifter jailed over 22-year-old warrant
Tue Jan 22, 2013
- So what ever happened to the Founding Fathers' idea that in the U.S.A. people would not be put in jail for debt? So much for another of the country's foundations: bureaucracy +1, civil rights -1, democracy 0.
TV in bedrooms may boost kids' risk of fat, disease
Tue Dec 11, 2012
- How do people get young children to sit still and watch TV? My (now adult) kids preferred active play ALL of the time -- and now the grandkids would rather jump, run and throw things! If the show is really kid-interesting, we may get 15-20 minutes of sit down now and then. . . certainly not an hou …

Mon Aug 15, 2011

'Geronimo': Native Americans blast bin Laden code name

Obama: U.S. regulators to review reactor safety
Thu Mar 17, 2011
- Oh Great! Back to being a "Radioactive Eskimo" just like the 70s! This stuff always eventually pulls toward the poles. . . For those who don't remember the events nor the song: The acid rain contaminates the lichens, the reindeer/caribou eat the lichens, and the Alaska Natives eat the animals.
Foes to fight Ariz. immigration law
Sat Apr 24, 2010
- The police and immigration officials have been racially profiling and harassing legal citizens with tan/brown skins for decades already! Some 48 years ago my husband, a brown-skinned Alaska Native with "Indian" features, was stopped by police as we got off a bus in California, headed from SEATAC a …
Were police in American Fork, Utah, right to cite four teenagers for rapping their order at McDonald's?
Thu Nov 19, 2009
