Subject: 2010: It's time to make a decision

I write to you today with urgency and seriousness. After months of discussion and debate, the time has come to make the tough decision.

Some are upset that Republicans are calling Sonia Sotomayor a "racist".  That is not true, all they are doing is quoting the bigoted statements and decisions of Sotomayor--hoer actions and words are racist.  When Senator Tent Lott speculated what a different world this would have been if Strom Thurmond had been elected President in 1948, the Democrats the Times, the mainstream media called his a racost.

The purpose of education is to educate, not to socialize, playing football or teach future film makers.

If you want to play sports, let the sports provide the venue to train, teach and play.  If you want to learn film making, let Hollywood provide the technical training facilities--it is not up to the poor to create another Spielberg.
