This exactly expresses my thoughts on this new season. You are dead on when you say he is an "outward" actor. Andy had a vulnerability, a genuineness, and a humanity that came through in his eyes. He had the ability, as an actor, to pull the audience in and carry them on this plight. (When he held Sura in his arms and said not a word, you could feel your heart breaking along with his.) His vulnerability was able to elicit empathy from his audience and connect with them in a very real way. This is evident by the thousands of blogs by total strangers who were devastated by his loss because they felt a connection with him, myself included. McIntyre just doesn't have this quality. It comes from within, it is an "it" factor. Perhaps this season will get better but I do not have the enthusiasm for the show like I did before. I have watched the first season over and over. I cannot say I will be doing that with the second season. I think the smart thing would have been to find a way to bring John Hannah back once they knew they'd lost Andy. John Hannah was bigger than life and a pillar of that show. Disappointing and sad. I would agree, though, that Manu Bennett has gotten better and actually, I find myself gravitating more toward his character than I do Spartacus. Maybe Oenomaus will surprise us and will add to what's missing.

Your tax dollars paid for that. Did they ask you if they could purchase new vehicles with your tax dollars? The answers are no and no. When you give up your money for taxes, it is no longer yours. IUSB owns those properties not the home borrowers. You may know how public colleges work but not how tax money can be used.

No cell phones either or if you have a cell then no land line. Tobacco, alcohol and uneccessary luxeries can go along way with buying insulation, better appliances, etc...

What we must do now is spend 12 million because we netted 9. You have to think like politicians. Spend more than available so we can raise taxes.

It is the fact that nobody wants to be "non politically correct" and call them out on it. Kids having kids, living off welfare and food stamps and the mentality of everyone owes me something attitude is all the problem. If those kids had good role models at home and parents who actually visited the school before the suspension/expullsion hearing there might be some progress made. As for institutional racism, if you mean because they are black/poor/single parent/etc... they should be in jail or kicked out of school because they aren't capable of passing classes, is crock of crap. This isn't the 60's and believe me, those kids being kicked out have had more chances to correct the problems than kids did just 15 years ago. People put in jail, punished, whatever have that done to them because they screwed up plain and simple. Quit making bad choices, act like you are suppose to and pay attention, life is fairly easy. However, it starts at HOME with good parents.

It would be interesting to see the grades of the black kids suspended compared to those not suspended. I bet I can tell which group has better grades and that is for any school in any district. I can also tell you which group has parents who are involved with their kids and are actual parents and not just a friend.

Here is an idea, make a pill that has the same effect as smoking this drug and call it quits on the medical pot facilities. I bet the use for the pill will not be as high as the actual drug itself.

Many in this country voted for Obama who has/had the least political experience in this nations history of presidential voting. Elkhart's mayor has more experience than Obama did. I can see your point.

Second to keep this short 1) Execs paying themselves with too much money and not putting their profits back into the company. 2) UAW and GM agreeing to a ridiculous contract agreement and retirement package. 3) Too many models and makes. That covers most of it without writing a thesis. And if you really want to get to the root of the problem we can talk about Clinton and his trade policies he had passed while in office.
