I have no idea what race you are and it does not matter. I do know, however that you're in idiot. How dare the cops? 1st, police are not required to give a badge # and name. If you need it, look on your arrest sheet or ticket and show up to court, you will learn it there. 2nd, you should hold your tongue until you do a ride-a-long with your local police department to see exactly what kind of crap cops have to put up with. It gets so old to hear people like you and Gates and Obama push the race issue so far past reality and float on your stupid soap box. If anything, there is more pressure on white students, workers and political leaders now then ever in the past and it is only getting worse. If any past president said what Obama said you can bet that there would be even a bigger stink then there is now. Look up what Bill Cosby said about Obama's comment. He is a minority and even he thinks Obama was wrong. Quit trying to win points by pretending that this country is still like it was in the 50's-70's. WE HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT; YOU NO LONGER HAVE A RACE CARD TO PLAY!!!!!

Your a lawyer, what did you graduate at the bottom of your class! I can't believe that you are talking such trash about Sara Palin. Does'nt that classify as slander / defamation of character even. If she needs money, maybe she should sue you. Oh, wait , she has to much class to do that to you. You should be careful what you say about people it has a way of coming back around to bite you in the butt! You don't sound like a well educated lawyer.

Dian, you'll need to put out your cigarette, put down your twinkies, and wait in long lines to vote tomorrow. You and the rest of the lazy Dems will get tired, give up, go sit in your dirty recliner, and complain why your government hand out is so late....ha hahahahahha.

Dian:

I am not playing God. I just see it as killing a child and if you agree and think it is murder then I am completely at a loss for words. How can you know that it is murder and still think that it should be legal. I am not the one playing God. You seem to be playing God by deciding who can live and who can't. Very strange and twisted thinking.
