  1. Hate is a constitutionally protected right. The first amendment to the US constitution actually protects one's right to express hate. For example many people hate political corruption and corrupt politicians and in some instances it may even be healthy to vent and verbally express feelings about something or somebody.

    However, acts of violence against other human beings is a crime.

    huh? too much sun fried your brain... completely missed the point and sarcasm. However, since I'm typing this, try honing up with this link: http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/hc2006/index.html

  2. You're comparing apples to oranges. That baseball stadium will bring revenue back into Hennipen County and the State of MN, and is an entertainment venue that people have deemed important to the MPLS ecomony. Funding bridges and road costs is a fundamental gov't budget issue. We pay taxes to cover these costs. If we have a surplus, we obviously have extra money to go towards these costs. Education is no different. We are cutting education funds and programs left and right. This is a budget shortfall, plain and simple. Maybe we should worry about the infrastructure of America before we dump all the money on the infrastructure of Iraq.

    umm, right, einstein. you are associating the bush administration and the war in iraq/against terrorism with the bridge collapse. Political officials at all levels set priorities with the limited tax revenue they receive. the mn legislature has failed miserably with this task. infrastructure maintenance is the immediate responsibility of the state and locals, not the federal government. it's quite simple, the elected officials chose to fund other projects/priorities (education, in fact, was first on their list), and now it has bitten them in the ass. as for the twinkies new palace, the taxpayers of hennepin county got screwed on this deal, plain and simple (if the tax increase would have been put to popular vote--like state law mandated--it would have been soundly rejected; polled hennepin voters identified more important priorities--infrastructure was near the top). what about the millions hennepin country is spending putting into infrastructure for access to the new venue? are the zillions in revenue (as you suggest will be pouring in) be earmarked for infrastructure improvements for the immediate/secondary areas (let me answer that for you... no). after all, the fans will put a burden on the roadways getting to the games. Again, priorities. blame bush all you want... but it's misplaced anger.

  3. Quite simply "April 20". (Put it or "4/20" into a search engine and see what pops.)

    - the cannabis culture

    - Columbine

    - Hitler's birthday

    It's the confluence of a whole set of freaky sub-cultures.

    it's 4:20 24 times a day...

    4/19: Waco and Oklahoma City
