What we must consider are the implications of having full and free speech( the unimpeded ability to think as we please and the ability to express ourselves as we please) and weigh the costs or the worst-case scenarios of having such rights against the costs of the existence of stipulations that hinder these rights.
In November of 2008, a wind of hope and change swept through the country when people elected a new president. The expectations were high, and the excitement of a fresh direction was felt in the mood of the nation.
In the 1930’s the Timber and Paper industry was at an all time high. With this Growing Industry stood floods of manual labor or migrant workers who carried a certain plant called cannabis with them. They just happened to be Mexican and African.
No longer must we depend on mainstream media to educate the masses and deliver our message of dissatisfaction with current living standards; Ways of communicating and discussing ideas with people around the world exist.
The future is a scary place, and some of you (Kt) have come a long way from where you started. Who here reading this knows how to use a rotary dial? Who here knows what a rotary dial is? My guess is, if you're twenty or older, you know what one is. If you're about thirty, you may know how to use one.
South Carolina has always been the goofiest political state. One of our politicians committed aggravated assault on the floor of the US House Of Representatives way back- and we haven't looked back since.
Lets face it. There are, like always, a lot of things that make the world a sucky place right now. Economic crisis? Check. Serious environmental issues? Sure. Epidemics and overpopulation? Of course.

DesertRat: Lance Morrow wrote an article for Time in 1995 on which he talks about sexual abstinence for teenagers. Somewhere in there he mentions 'the swamp of the id.' That word ("id") stuck with me for a while, it is a Freudian term. I would like to see someone use it somewhere. Another couple words I'd love to read in fresh work are 'ennui' (Constance Woolson in "Miss Grief") and 'debutante' (seen in a movie). DR1 day 2 hours ago

Routh: Ok, I have tracked down a bug with the Drupal and the password reset system. If you're logged in to the site when you request a password reset, it will ask for your current password when resetting. In order to fix this, use the link to get your temporary login, then logout with 'My Menu' > 'Log out' - Once you do that request a password reset again and it will not ask for your current password. The Drupal developers have been made aware of this issue and are working to resolve it.3 days 5 hours ago
