No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. | | | | | Grand Moff Tarkin and Darth Vader both expected to be named to cabinet positions. "Star Wars" (1977) (Lucasfilm Ltd.) | | | | | | “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion.

| | rantnrave:// News organizations have to not race to report and give credibility to fake news and tweets. That is one way to try to build back credibility. Because it's said doesn't mean it's valid. Douchebag journalist NICK PISA from NETFLIX's AMANDA KNOX documentary and his unethical way of reporting has become too common. The blogosphere's race to publish directly or indirectly baited traditional news organizations into often side-stepping fact checking and editorial judgment.

Sometimes a double shot of tequila takes the end of the world edge off... Founders cannot scale without trusted, talented people that can run with the ball... What will decent, patriotic, law-abiding and moral politicians allow to go on in the name of power, party loyalty, job security, and fear?... Cable movie programming usually reflects real world worries. Watch the schedule with that filter... Want to go back to the way things were long ago? Leaders making sure nothing will ever be the same again. You preach distrust, we can't go back like SUPERMAN... TIGER WOODS has captivated America for nearly 40 years, first as a golf-club-swinging toddler on late night and then as a wunderkind rolling over his peers. But now, one scandal and several fallow years later, Woods is left wondering if he'll ever be relevant on a golf course again. REDEF SportsSET - "Tiger Woods: Wunderkind to Wondering What's Left"... Made in America: the statistics, the stories, the sentiment. Supporters point to job creation and the revival of craftsmanship. Critics say the US can't compete on wages and quality. Read about the challenges facing American-made garments and textiles. "PRO/CON: USA Apparel Manufacturing", a REDEF FashionSET... Can't make it up folks...
