I'd like to come up from time to time posting particular news which caught up my attention and reading comments from you people about it...would you hate me????

I will start right now with this crazy one...SPREAD YOUR PEARL JAM SPIRIT!!!! :)


"From 1907 to 1973 the United States, following the nazi eugenetics, authorized convict sterilization for psychiatric patients, mentally disabled, epileptics, convicted for sexual crimes. Actually, they were immigrants, Jews, homeless and black people.
Last week the State of Virginia apologised to the 8.000 "idiots" and "criminals" legally sterilized in the '900, with the permit of the same Supreme Court of the United States which in 1927 promoted the law authorizing the legal sterilization for "people afflicted by an hereditary kind of mental disease". These are the words pronounced by Oliver Wendell Holmes in the name of the majority of the Court: "We have prooved more than once that the public welfare can demand the sacrifice of the best citizens'lives. It would be odd if it didn't demand for minor sacrifices. It is better for the entire world if, instead of waiting to execute depraved children for some kind of crime or let them die for hunger caused by their idiocy, the society can avoid, for those who are not able, to reproduce their species." [...]


My day started with "Not for you".
An hug for all of you wonderful jammers!

hey eva...
I would NEVER hate you for anything, let alone, bringing news in front of me....silly eva!

Well, that is quite the statement isn't it. KNockin people down before they can ever stand up. Shitty. It's statements like these and people like that that make me really sick to my stomach. I'm glad the state of Virginia apologized, but no aplolgy can erase mistakes. THey should go further to help promote further understanding and acceptance of people who are disabled, physically or mentally.......when they go that far, their words will have some meaning.

TO MY FRIENDS, I'M NOT A DRUNK DRIVER...I'M PRESIDENT ELECT.

Hey Amy! I got you!!! I knew you would have showed up...Love you always.
Gee, sometimes these kind of news seem unreal to me...Science fiction movies are ridiculous in comparison to reality sometimes, aren't they???
