I often make much more than this, by simply driving my car to a destination (Mexico), letting some people fill my trunk with duffel bags, and driving it right back ( to America)! I don't even have to let it sit there!

Maybe I'm just a little on edge about this shit lately, but it seems kind of telling to me that if you get involved in the American Prison Industrial Complex and you're white, you get a million dollar publishing deal at the end of it. As opposed to if you're black, in which case you get dead.

"So we figured, hey, let's draw attention to racial inequalities in America by walking hand-in-hand out from this inflatable thing with a purple injun on it."

The tear gas element of the tribute, however, seems a bit too on-the-nose for me.

Ah yes. I will never forget the day I looked down at my freakishly large hand and in a moment of clarity realized "I too, am a gay."

Fantastic statement from Jesse Williams. I'm bi-racial, but can say that I've never really been harassed by the cops in my lifetime. My brothers however? Dudes can't move two feet without a policeman stopping jus to "check-in". This shit is real, and it would be lovely for large parts of the country to open their…

I honestly thought about including that. Strictly speaking, it's not practical, but I actually find them fun. And not every message is supposed to be business-oriented

It must be terrible for black parents to have to tell their children "Even if you're unarmed, even if you're well-behaved, even if you do everything right, there is still a chance that a white police officer will murder you in the street with your hands up."

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…

I think I have to disagree with your titular proposal. Saying "Lets stop trying to teach students critical thinking" is a horrible idea. A better ideal would be "Lets identify the skills necessary for critical thought and ensure those skills are being taught to our children." In my opinion that is the far more…

Obama & Socialist Nut jobs...

Obama is not a socialist. I should know. I'M a socialist. Obama is centrist.

I have such mixed feelings about this. Don't get me wrong, rights are awesome. But gay marriage fits really, really well into the conservative idea that the nuclear family is the basic building block of society. There's going to be a lot of people who are ok with you being gay, but only so long as you get married and…

What do you mean, how is it a scare tactic? It's a scare tactic because that's the chestnut conservatives autocrats pull out when they want to discourage their employees from actually seeking a living wage — which could be paid for fairly easily if they weren't such greedy fucknuts. It will never happen.

Well, not to the left, anyway.

No turn signals either since it's "not for turning."

Don't forget its iron construction and uncompromising driving style
