Hotel And Event Hosts Sued By Family Of Girl Killed Sliding Down A Banister {Gadling}
Jul 28th 2012 11:22AM Why are all the comments against the lawsuit, but in all probability the plaintiffs will probably win--either at trial or settlement before trial. Why does our legal system fly in the face of common sense and morality? It is the jurors who are selected who will either find for the plaintiffs or the fear of it will prompt the settlement. So many people opt do whatever they can to get out of jury duty it leaves those who lack common sense in the pool.

First look at the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in DC {Gadling}
Aug 22nd 2011 12:26PM I have to state my disappointment at the design of the statue of MLK that is planned for the memorial. Standing with one's arms crossed and feet apart signifies body language that seeks confrontation and portrays stubborness.
Although MLK did confront injustice, I don't believe that the statue captures his vision. If we take him at his word in his famous speech, he wanted a country where people of various races can live in peace side-by-side.
The attitude portrayed in the statue better reflects those of modern-day civil rights leaders who seek retribution for the wrongs inflicted on their race. The error in that point of view is that both those wronged and those who committed the wrongs are mostly in the past. Today's people fit neither of these categories. Desire for revenge has become a license aggressive dependency. The modern day civil rights movement has become an end unto itself.

Jul 18th 2011 4:47PM When we drove to Fla.for Spring Break in 1973 it was clear that South of the Border was just a tourist trap. But, a few miles down I-95 was Chico's Monkey and Snake Farm. Now, that was a place worth the time and money! We assumed that Chico and Pedro were related.

Mom Sues Son's High School Over Other Students Wearing Perfume {Just So You Know}
Nov 29th 2010 8:25PM I can tell you that I have an allergy to perfume. I've never been to the hospital. It's usually a case of coughing and sneezing. Once, however, an employee was wearing a heavy dose of it and my throat tightened up so much I had to walk away in order to breathe. I think that the student has a right to breathe, which is more important than for other students to smell of perfume.
