It sounds eerily similar to any company that has ever operated in the red. Reduce overhead and increase revenue. Pretty easy to understand.

I guess I just assumed that since the article made no mention of that then the student was male since the media usually will make it well know if it was a lesbian or gay relationship somewhere. I apologize since I didn't achieve what I was trying too and now that I read it over again I see why it could be seen that way.

Was it the GSA that caused her to have sex with a student? Are you pathetically attempting to suggest that all gay people are pedophiles? It simply sounds, to me at least, like you're attempting to bash a group of people due to your deluded views of the world.

He claims that he was struck by a can of tea. In my opinion that is not a threat against someones life, it is an act of violence, yes; however, it should never have been countered by deadly force. It would be similar if you walked up and punched an officer, Legally they would not be able to counter by shooting you. Zimmerman has also changed his story a number of times. He has gone from claiming he was following Martin, to claiming that Martin snuck up on him and jumped him as he got out of his car. There is far more to this case than what most people know. The only thing I know is that there is a dead 17 year old kid and a murderer, who used lethal force in a non lethal confrontation, is walking free at this time.

The US has run a trade deficit since the Free Trade Act was signed under Clinton which rewarded companies that shipped jobs overseas. Nothing is going to change this fact until stiff penalties are placed on these companies and it becomes unprofitable to manufacture and import from China.

It's morally wrong to make a $20B profit per quarter while claiming to the US government that you can't stay in business without massive subsidies which allow you to make said profit while paying zero taxes and receiving a massive tax rebate.

It's written into the state constitution, so your argument is invalid.

What's there to stop big oil from exporting everything else they would pump from more drilling? Big oil is simply attempting to bring gas prices in the US in line with the rest of the world which by the way is around $7-9 per gallon. But don't worry, they run the country so you'll have the option of paying it or simply not driving. Alternative fuels will never be explored to the extent they should be until we're able to STOP Big Oil money from running this country into the ground.
