All terrific ideas for shows that will never be made. Too much fuss over Confederate, though; it’s only make believe.

Mental health issues, even for Florida.

You’re not alone. That may qualify for the stupidest law in existence.

I’m in favor of almost anything that attacks the epidemic of obesity currently driving the US. This is a deadly disease; don’t kid yourself about that. And the medical research I’ve seen shows that there’s little difference in rate of regain whether the weight loss is slow or rapid, provided the dieter eats healthy…

You’re kidding yourself if you think this issue is black vs white.

And until the violent black minority are under control, everyone will fear all black men, unreasonably. It doesn’t matter that 75% of blacks are above the poverty line and living normal lives. The small number of criminals cause everyone else to overreact in fear. It’s hard to know what to do about this issue.

It’s going to take more than busting police unions. The fact is that the highest percentage of crimes are committed by black people, by far, and while there is certainly bias throughout the system, it doesn’t change the disparate numbers. When police constantly encounter criminals who are black, their opinions become…

Good news. These people should be arrested and jailed for their behavior. Disgusting.

Actually, white people don’t need MLK on their side. Why would we? But we can’t understand why black people don’t want him on their side.

So Presidential...if this were a Third World country.

Wonderful. Two months ago, they picked up a veteran. Who’s next? Priests?

I don’t believe this was an angry or malicious shooting, but it was certainly unjustified. Listening to Yanez’ voice shaking on the video, it’s easy to believe that he was, indeed, afraid for his life. Not because the threat was there, but because he panicked. Unless communities are willing to pay for more screening…

And how many white kids do this shit? Are there many in his school?

These “children in crisis” are often screaming obscenities, dropping to the floor and creating an unhealthy learning environment around themselves. I honestly wish the public could see what goes on in some schools. Having spent 35 years in the system, I promise people would be appalled.

White privilege is a reality, of course; I was born with it and enjoyed its benefits all my life. But now that I’ve acknowledged it, where do we go from here?

Of course, people will lay down their lives for a $40,000 a year civil service job. You’re watching too many cop shows on TV.

Actually, most of the public understands this type of police thinking, primarily because they’re honest enough to admit that, given the same circumstances, they would likely make the same decision. Watching the video, the frustration is palpable; how can anyone at this point in time be so stupid as to ignore police…

Going after selected illegals makes sense; those with criminal records or who don’t work or pay taxes. But ICE is not discriminating: they are deporting only small numbers of people, some of whom own businesses, homes, have families and have lived here 20 years without any arrests. These individuals have met regularly…

I see the painting as a sympathetic portrayal of a tragedy, something that should unite all decent people. An artist builds bridges and art transcends the limitations of race. Why would anyone assume Emmett Till was the focus of bigotry? His murder cries out in the face of it. The painting is a tribute and a…

Forcing Charles into an ill-suited relationship caused the royal family far more ugly PR than his marrying a clearly not-a-virgin girlfriend, Camilla. Serves them right.
