Slavery Apology.

I can't think of anything more ridiculous then a 2008 Government apologizing for acts of the Government over 100 years ago. When does that kind of apology stop? Couldn't anyone "wronged" by the Government in the past now ask for a formal apology. If black Americans want an apology they should look to the Dutch, the same government that brought slavery to the US when it was only a collection of colonies.

Shark rips 16-year old's arm off, he sees the glass half-full

"I can try to live my life the way I was and make an effort to do that even though I don't have an arm, or I can kind of just let this be completely debilitating and bring my life down and ruin it in a way," Treschl said. "Out of those two, there's really only one that I would choose to do and that's the first — to try to fight and live a normal life with the cards I've been dealt. This kid's statement gives me hope for the future. His parents should be awarded a medal for their ability to raise children.  http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/06/17/shark-attack-victim-speaks-north-carolina-beach-oak-isle/28854419/

Serious discussion on Gun Control

I see random headlines constantly that read "tougher play on Gun Control", "tough stance on Gun Control", "Rethink Gun Control". And I completely, Agree. We need a tougher and rethought stance on Gun Control - the removal of it. For decades America has sought to stop violence of a free society by putting restrictions on guns, most recently pimping a tragedy for their benefits. The fact of the matter is that gun crimes are down historically, in fact they've been going down since the mid-1990s. And in the 1990's gun related homicides peaked just two years after the original "Assault Weapons Ban" went into effect. Pretty much proving that the ban had little if any impact on gun homicides. What we should be doing is rethinking why we have attempted to address a symptom and never the cause. Violence is prevalent in a large amount of American society but we refuse to address it. People, children are murdered daily in city streets but rarely...

Discovery Channel accused of being "Insensitive" for having #SharkWeek with N.C. attacks.

Attorney Mike McKinnley, a lawyer representing Jasmine Casine a recent shark attack victim in North Carolina, has threatened to sue the Discovery Channel for being "Irrationally insensitivity given the current events" and that if the Discovery Channel doesn't end the programming he will lead a Class Action Lawsuit as well as organizing a boycott. CEO John Adams was quoted as saying "this seems absurd, I mean SharkWeek has become an icon in the programming line up and, seriously, none of our sharks were even filmed off of N.C, so we're pretty sure they didn't hurt anyone". With the plethora of tagging going on and the accountability of the sharks it would seem as though Mr. Adams sits on firm ground, however, Mr. McKinnley doesn't see it that way: "Ya know what, if John had taken the time to watch the reality movie Jaws, based on obviously real and accurate accounts, he would understand the people are routinely attacked by sharks.
