On this day in 1935 Anti-Semitic Nuremberg Laws are passed by Reichstag; Jews lose citizenship and civil rights.
Over the next ten years the Nazi annihilation of about 6 million Jews occures(two thirds of the pre-World War II European Jewish population), including 4,500,000 from Russia, Poland, and the Baltic; 750,000 from Hungary and Romania; 290,000 from Germany and Austria; 105,000 from The Netherlands; 90,000 from...

I read Eichmann in Jerusalem by Hannah Arendt this summer and was once again dumbstruck at how such a vile and explicitly evil thing occurred.
1971, 1,300 prisoners rebelled against their guards and took over the Attica Prison facility in Western New York State. They held forty guards hostage. They had a list of demands for better living conditions including showers, education and vocational training.
On Sept. 13, after seven days of negotiations between the prisoners and government authorities, the national guard and state police seized the prison, killing forty-three...

Yeppers.
I just gave out a worksheet to my juniors on the racial ratios of prisoners sentenced to death in the United States. The graph shows that killers of WHITE victims are overwhelmingly sentenced to death moreso than killers of any other race. Regardless if you are a death penalty advocate or not, you have to agree the penalty is racially biased. Pretty f-ed up.

Yeah, I can see keeping the emails from your kids.....but the other one's can be a little disconcerting.
I'm not sure what we could do before the weather turns wet wet wet! But I have to admit I do love the rain...

Beaches is still going as far as I know, I dont know if I'm going this week or not. It is too early to tell but I'll keep you posted. The rod run was a blast!
If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!
What follows is a really long bit of political crap where I vent about fema and political appointees, who the fuck cares right?

I have now edited the story a bit
Turn that frown upside-down!
No camping trip with friends (I was looking forward to the opportunity of getting to know them better). So instead, I made a big bowl of popcorn and watched Napolean Dynomite with the family(it was hillarious), then pasta salad for dinner and A Series of Unfortunate Events for the evenings entertainment. Then we schlupt our sleepingbags out to the backyard and...

The picnic
The sky was a clear, brilliant blue, the air was filled with the scents of
nature as the open carraige carried them further into the countryside.
The sound of the horses hooves echoed through the forest as they passed.
She could feel his eyes on her, quietly appraising the effect of the cool
breeze on...

Moving the ex was.....weird. I could have helped him move and still gone camping, I just didn't have anyone that could have all the kids that long.
Wow, I can sooooo relate to losing patience with your kids, and then feeling like crap after. It sucks.

I don't want to make you feel weird so I withdrew my request. I know you're her friend and don't want to make you feel like you're in the middle of something. Thank you for your consideration.

I like you...I'm soooo wasted.

Did I just make an entire comment using all questions? Yes, I did. And that is perfectly acceptable. (Asking a question can be a lovely act of selflessness.)
In answer to your first question...I am planning on moving to Denver at the beginning of next month. (Fear, fear, fear!) Hoping to see everyone before I go, but, what with time rapidly slipping away, this could be a bit of a challenge.
As to Stormy, I think she dances there on Friday nights, too. Don't know about Wednesdays. If you find out, please let me know!
PS: I really do need to see Napoleon Dynamite. Seems like my kind of movie. (I love Rushmore!)
