  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Palin is going to need a pocket copy of The Constitution.

    I think if you are going to take the oath of office for President, and swear to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”. You should have some fundamental understanding of the constitution! Sarah Palin has a BA in journalism from Iowa and no national experience. Bush crossed way too many lines being an intellectual ...

  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years

    The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule. They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

  • The last statistic is my point

    Hi Degsme, So first I'll reply to your last post--that 33% of the Seattle residents have arrived in the last 5 years. I think that statistic is exactly my point. And I'd agree that it is probably true from anectodal evidence. Most of the families on my parents' block have moved in since 2002, which funny enough is around the time the ...

  • So what's the solution?

    Wow, degsme. Thanks for the great posts. So, what's the plan? How do we solve this? (I hope I wasn't the one who name called, for goodness sake, we haven't stooped that low, have we?) On many of these issues we are just in disagreement. I will always think my grandparents worked in a diverse environment in Eastern Washington because as a city ...

  • It wasn't brainwashing

    I was hoping that degsme would reply to my earlier post because he obviously had insight in to the Seattle system. I disagree with Iwasblind because a lot of what you are saying is theory and makes for great t-shirt slogans. In reality a lot of these ideas don't pan out. Everyone grows up in a ''culture'' whether it is European, African, Asian, ...

  • The numbers are the point

    You made a lot of great points here. I'll try to address them all as best as I can. I think the numbers are the biggest piece of evidence we have when we discuss the success of SSD's integration policies. Go to the suburbs now and go to the private schools. Talk to people who have lived in the city for generations. They will tell you about ...

  • The puzzle piece was already lost

    I appreciate your reply, and you obviously do know a lot about the system and the way it worked. I must add that my parents were both products of Washington state public schools, and my maternal grandparents were both public high school teachers in a culturally diverse community in Eastern Washington for over thirty years. My family cares deeply ...
