I’m going to start a new party, The Jefferson Party. Thomas Jefferson was paranoid America would be ruled by a monarch. I’m paranoid the internet will be ruled by a handful of Luddites.

How might we voice our concern? Does congress ultimately have to agree on this treaty or trade agreement?

That interpretation goes against the spirit of the law, said Michael Burns, who argued on behalf of the Department of Buildings. “You don’t know these people? They’re not your friends?” he asked Warren, who affirmed it. “They should stay in a hotel,”

So this is all about protecting the big businesses, the hotels and making it harder for the little guy.

I think it’s embarrassing that it took 12 years to put another building there, I guess its fitting that it won’t even be the tallest building in the country? And why is there only one tower, are we going to leave that fountain there? I mean at the least, why not a memorial park or something that can be used?

Might text, works not as a stand along messaging client, but on Android, syncs with your text messages. You install the extension on Chrome and when you click it an app launches that lets you control your phone’s texts from your phone, MMS saved and synced as well.

It’s not anti-Semitism, it’s more David vs Goliath, rooting for the little guy. Israel has direct military backing from the strongest power in the world and Palestine has very few friends who would dare back them publicly and nobody is openly providing them advanced military weaponry. They’re the underdog and Israel is perceived by many as a bully.

Dear Israel,

If you are concerned about the long term safety of your country start investing in the Palestinian people. Help them rebuild their country. Put would be fighters to work rebuilding their infrastructure. Help them develop their economy. Give them hope for their future and their children’s future. Maybe this would help, maybe it won’t, but you’ve tried the military route try something new.
