[quote]If there are bullets in the kids back, which I think is likely, then the officer deserves to be tried for murder. [/quote] I agree 100%....

[quote]Thank you for posting that link. [/quote] Look more closely at this case. Big pieces of it are about to be dismissed. Mississippi passed a law imposing more strict rules for managing head injuries at the high school level that make much of the lawsuit moot. You will probably see many mo...

[quote]Possibly, but the allure of a college scholarship is a strong motivator, and many kids that play football come from poor economic backgrounds with little parental supervision to begin with.[/quote] I agree 100% and that will ultimately be the pool of potential players.

[quote]'09 CWS at Rosenblatt. Because I was there.[/quote] Same for me but because we were not there. We were planning to go that year, but the whole family contracted the swine flu. This was when H1N1 was just hitting the US so our doctor put us on quarantine. We could not leave the house that...

[quote]You don't say in the quote.[/quote] To be clear, these are direct quotes from the article that was linked by the OP and that is being lauded by many posters in this thread. I did not assert these things. I am wondering whether anyone will give a straight yes or no answer as to whethe...

It does not matter whether secession was outlawed by the Constitution. Davis and the the other confederates took up arms against the US and then lost. After they lost they rejoined the country they had previously attacked. So by definition they are treasonous traitors to the United States. There...
