Perspective on the charges and circumstances would be wise. I agree. Polo, you're off base a little with regards to Moss.Flashing dong to a girl then returning to the scene of the crime and violating terms < disorderly conduct.. If I'm a little off base, it's only a little. They've both done some monumentally stupid things. Repeatedly. Although digging up this dead thread about a guy who doesn't play here just to kick him around and mock, because it somehow justifies something or makes someone feel better about god knows what is stupid too.

I mean, the fact he brings up taking away playing time and penalizing a player without a prompt says a lot. Wow...reading a heck of a lot into that statement. Meh, I really don't care either way. There is a lot about Ron Brown that I respect and love. Hell, I wish I look like him at age 60, it's just really too bad he's got some really regrettable quotes out there.

I'll tell you the only difference right now in people's views, the logo on the side of his helmet. If he was at Nebraska with this charge, people would be clamoring for a second chance, whereas if Moss had decided on Ole Miss and did what he did, there'd be laughter and ridicule abound. Hall hath no fury like a scorned recruiting honk. The thing about it is that Ole Miss WAS his 2nd chance. Not sure if there are to many Husker fans going to line up for the 3rd. People wanted to give Moss a third chance this semester

SNIP (from el Counto) Which is odd because in 2012 Ron Brown said........ So which one is it, Ron?

See TD Ameritrade and the absolute BS about the need to close Rosenblatt.Guess whose buddies owned that land north of downtown? Or where the Staples Center and LA Live are located, that game is as old as the hills. Hell, it's the reason the freeways in this country are where they are.

Why would anyone want to hang out with them? I'd have a shooting range, a professional style kitchen, a nano brewery, and I'd take vacations.Haha. You could probably employ many there to embark on The Most Dangerous Game as well.

It's also the only house in the city with a finished basement. Or a basement. Earthquake codes be damned.

Yeah. If you make $300,000 in Hastings, NE you can live like a king. If you made the same money in San Francisco you might have to rent a house. Actually you'd have your cool motorcycle riding brother in law and your old college roommate move in. Together you'd all take care of your three precocious daughters and hilarity would ensue. This seems familiar. Would they live in a house that is impossibly big with endless areas for new bedrooms? It's a real Bay Area find, what with a 2000 square foot backyard.

I don't think that it's a matter of right and wrong. In fact, I'd argue that that is a strange way to think about taxation. No doubt. There aren't a lot of free tickets in life unless you're born rich or incredibly lucky. As you said, "rich" is a relative term. And don't call my lotto system "luck". This is an algorithm and IT WILL WORK.

That's because everyone thinks that they are middle class.???? http://www.gallup.com/poll/159029/americans-likely-say-belong-middle-class.aspx Ok, so those who make more than $100,000 are wrong and deserve to have things taken away? And I'll debate that that household is a far cry from middle class in say, the west coast, or east coast, or Chicago...... It's also pretty interesting that the article linked says college isn't a free ticket to the hallowed "middle class".

Very well said. Every conversation is better with facts. You either know what you're talking about and provide useful information or you're a sideshow to the real conversation. EDIT. meh.

. . . uh . . . yeah. I don't think that's comparable. Perhaps a bad analogy, but the fact remains something is being taken from a group and given to another (in theory). And it wouldn't be the super duper, eeeeeviil rich. I don't think there's a $100,000 household anywhere that would qualify themselves as that.

Man, it's pretty messed up those guys are just walking away from a field and not planting it or anything.....

Meaningless unless it isn't budget neutral . . . and then it's characterized as exploding the deficit, "THE DEBT!!," irresponsible spending, and "we need to tighten the belt". No it's pretty meaningless. I could rob five banks and launder the money into my business, I'd increase revenue in my business in a budget neutral manner, but it's still not a good thing.

Obama is foolishly proposing to pay for it. These things are a lot easier if you just pretend they are free. Obama has called it "free" a great many times. Just taking the man at his word, as some here are with people backing the keystone project as "job creation"But his proposal includes a budget neutral way to fund it, correct? Boy there's a meaningless phrase, "budget neutral". According to that article, which obviously isn't gospel, sure, it's not an added expenditure, but it appears to take away from households earning more than $100000 and funneling it elsewhere. I don't think I want the Keystone XL project moved ahead btw.

What's the Democratic equivalent of pretending like Keystone XL is a monumentally important "jobs bill"?I was speaking more to the premise of their main platforms not being founded in reality. Which they are not. Gratis post high school education, for example.I don't know . . . the whole two years paid tuition after high school seems a hell of a lot more reality based than acting like 35 permanent jobs would energize the American economy. Your opinion. Because I'm damn sure someone's going to be paying for that education. Fundamental economic lessons dictate nothing is free. I tried to carefully avoid calling it "free." Wonder how many kids we could put through school if we ended the F35 boondoggle? I would hope zero. Our government has a pretty crappy history of money ending up in good places when it's allocated for education.

Off topic, but I feel it's important that if it's reality we demand, admission that both sides are failing miserably at it.
