Is it not better that they two talk rather then the two staying apart and continuing being ignorant of each other. which brings me smartly to 'Ignorance' which is a facet of racism. at least this way that aspect is being tackled over a cool beer.Berileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261570902588782914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-50976048984082224732009-08-01T11:23:55.423-04:002009-08-01T11:23:55.423-04:00Who learned what at this "teachable" mom...Who learned what at this "teachable" moment? We probably needed more input from Rev. Wright and Michelle. Perhaps the ACLU should have been represented. Then, a few cops who backed Crowley could have been helpful.

It doesn't really matter how obnoxious Gates was. He was in his own home. If a cop cannot deal with obnoxious people without arresting them they are in the wrong business. Seems to be a poor training issue to me. If I screwed up that bad on my job that I needed the president to call me personally I would move to Antarctica.

Gates must have been trying to hide something.

...Dunno. Maybe he's trying to set an example.<br /><br />If the Gates and Crowleys of the world can sit down and at least talk...isn't that better than the shouting matches we witness on the 'news' shows?<br /><br />Maybe we don't have to yell. And, to throw in a little kumbaya of my own, "blessed are the peacemakers."<br /><br />But, agreed; it detracts from the pressing issues. And health care may be D.O.A (Dead on August).Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290225363728160044noreply@blogger.com
