Corrupt deals like this one, bridges and roads to no where, film subsides, credits to oil and other big business and many other sweetheart deals this and previous legislatures have funded make it impossible to trust anything they say.

You are forgetting that Irish car bombs affected Caucasian people. You don't get as much hipster / activist cred from "protesting" such things as you do "protesting" things that relate to (at least in your mind) non-whites.

Motley, I wasn't defending the current system, I was merely explaining how it works.

The state doesn't need another office building. They need to move out of the LIO ASAP and into a building that the state already owns.

Some math: If you pay a premium of $1300/month for one year, that's $15,600 a year for your payments. That is with a $5,000 deductible. So before insurance picks up ANY bills, you're paying almost $22,000 a year. Not so "Affordable" Health Care, is it? Unless you have a pre-existing condition like cancer or whatever...

For privacy reasons, perhaps, this article can't tell us the motives of the threesome. It is equally likely, I think, that this threesome was ganging up on getting rid of a bully compared to theories that they themselves were the bullies. Clearly, parents and children involved need counseling. Both "sides."
