As I said in my previous post -- all it takes is speed **************************************** http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/hastings-crash-witness-113514329.html Witness: Hastings’ speeding car ‘shook my car like a freight truck going by'

All it takes is speed. We recently had a single-car crash a couple of miles from our house where the vehicle (recent model Infiniti) was cut in half. No bombs required. http://www.dailypilot.com/news/tn-dpt-me-0527-jamboree-crash-20130527,0,5817795,full.story...

Three Dell Ultrasharp monitors

I use one 30" monitor for each of the three markets I trade. I used 23" monitors for many years, but I find that 30" screens are much easier on the eyes. Anything larger than 30" requires too much eye movement to be practical for me.

Higher prices are inevitable. Obamacare was written largely by industry lobbyists who designed it specifically to drive up prices and profits. The problem with Obamacare is that it dramatically increases the demand for healthcare without increasing the supply (or otherwise controlling costs)...

One day economist Paul Krugman was standing on the observation deck at the top of a 100-story building. All of a sudden, he grabs the guy standing next to him and leaps off the building, taking the other guy with him. Krugman is serene as can be, but the guy he pulled over with him is...

No one is proposing implementing the FTT in the way Tobin intended it. In fact, Tobin said the tax should be limited to currency markets only. I haven't seen that proposal yet. Berkeley Economics Professor, Barry Eichengreen, knew Tobin well and co-wrote several published research papers...

Crowd Erupts in Thunderous Applause When Leno Says Obama Should Close IRS Instead of Gitmo http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/06/04/crowd-erupts-thunderous-applause-when-leno-says-obama-should-close-ir#ixzz2VGEFafXC

The stand-your-ground law is relatively new (2005) and there haven't been many cases. The Martin/Zimmerman case may be important for that reason, depending upon how Zimmerman's lawyers play it, how prosecutors react and what the judge allows.

It's been a widely-known but mostly unspoken truth here in California for many years. It permeates every aspect of Southern California life. ...violence directed at blacks by Latino gang members has been occurring at an alarming rate throughout southern California...

My understanding is that Florida courts sometimes allow juries to rule "not guilty by reason of excusable homicide" or "not guilty by reason of justifiable homicide." I don't know if those will be options in this case.

I never said that a not-guilty verdict would protect Zimmerman from a civil lawsuit under all circumstances. I said that Zimmerman would be immune from civil action IF Martin's death is found by the jury to be a justifiable homicide (i.e, he killed Martin while acting lawfully in self-defense).

OJ's case has nothing to do with the Zimmerman/Martin case. OJ's acquittal was not ruled a justifiable homicide in the state of Florida under the stand-your-ground laws.

Where did I offer a legal opinion? I simply stated that under Florida law a person acquitted by reason of lawful self-defense is immune to civil action with regards to death/injury caused by that person's acting in self defense. At no point in this thread have I offered any opinion (legal or...

You're exactly right. Celebrity nutjobs know they can make themselves the center of attention by saying they're considering a run for President. It puts money in their pockets by increasing book sales, speaking fees, etc. They laugh all the way to the bank -- but they don't run for president.
