Re: “School of the Arts tweet exposes Charleston County Schools' hypocrisy”
Very good points. First, where is it the place for CCSD to be the "police" in an off Campus issue? Let Law Enforcement apply current statutes and decide if a crime occurred. With all I see in the news it wouldn't be the first time CCSD had a student with pending charges. Secondly, Racism comes from all sides. CCSD must take a color neutral stand to these issues when they occur on school property.

Re: “Is Anne Frank's Diary pornography?”
Sexuality in this country has been deliberately oppressed because it helps create a market for such material without ever really addressing the reason there is so much gender bias in America. Pornographic materials is almost entirely oriented toward male gratification and it has only been in the past few decades the potentials for female enjoyment of sexuality have come to the fore, much less the mechanics of attainment. Very few men are aware of the female anatomy, or are willing to spend the time learning and applying the techniques which will help a women reach and sustain the levels of intense pleasure their bodies are capable of, and which are so important to a healthy relationship. In Anne's day, she would have been like most women today, waiting for the fireworks that had already happened. Just not for her.
Re: “The problem with for-profit hospitals”
If only our health system was as for-profit, unregulated, and relatively free and unencumbered as the home repair industry, healthcare would be abundant and inexpensive, just like home repairs.
Re: “The problem with for-profit hospitals”
The profit motive also provides motivation for better quality in a competitive environment. Government subsidized Non-profit hospitals and government run hospitals sometimes function at a bare minimum level of quality because they can.
If hospitals and doctors who seek to make money by providing care bother you, make a mental note to avoid them in the future. If enough people did that they might lower their fees or just go out of business.
Re: “School of the Arts tweet exposes Charleston County Schools' hypocrisy”
That many blacks hate white and multiracial people is not difficult to understand. The cultural bias against blacks is palpable and the program of biological and psychological gentrification only makes them more desperate to avoid becoming victims of the ethnic cleansing objectives of the elite upper class. They are still put down daily due to the color of their skin. One initiative that might help at a grass roots level is if white people would find some way to compliment a minority every day for a job well done; a service rendered; or even on the way they look. And it wouldn't hurt to give them a hug and apologize for the way their ancestors were treated and for the complete disruption of their family and traditions during slavery. Schools need to help blacks appreciate the contributions their people made to society; the wealth they help generate; and the buildings they helped build. And yes it would be nice to offer them land and a new start in Alaska or some other state where they are accepted and treated like human beings should be. Even offer to relocate them back to their country of origin. Blacks in the USA are not even allowed to have feelings. You never hear of them being convicted of a hate crime. But many have ample reason to hate. Integration may have been the worst thing that could have happen to Afro-Americans from a cultural standpoint. Perhaps they would be better off with their own schools, just as they are with their own churches. In the meantime, white students in predominantly black schools are just going to have to bite the bullet because there is a dual standard when it comes to what passes for racism. Better get a small digital recorder if you want to begin to prove anything that would promote affirmative action to obviate this social disease.

HUH?
Re: “School of the Arts tweet exposes Charleston County Schools' hypocrisy”
So, the school system paid a hefty court fine for ignoring racial threats, and now you're lambasting them for going after racial threats... not only that but ones with a written, physical evidence record? Fascinating. Beyond that, though, if there's merit to the pending claims, as there certainly was in the Kandrac case, I hope that the penalties are severe enough to root out the problems.
Re: “Is Anne Frank's Diary pornography?”
No, it isn't pornography. Disturbing that some few should think so.

Re: “The Agenda: Beach litter in S.C.; Gullah-Geechee plan approved; Reckless + film incentives”
I can never figure out The Agenda, as it always feels like everything has been discussed.
Bearing that in mind, I will be willing to discuss the following:
A) "President" Obama should be impeached for this:
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_…
B) That new bar on Cumberland -- The Craftsmen -- has anyone been? I have, but it was before hours, and I was refused service even though my feet were tired and I was beginning to hallucinate. It looks really nice, though.
C) http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/simga…
D) Stephen Hawking being an adulterer.
E) IUDs.
F) Stephen Hawking being flown and forcibly pushed around in a parabolic plane.
G) Huddle House™ Mt. Pleasant v. Huddle House™ Folly Road: DOES CORPORATE IMPOSE UNIFORM FRANCHISE MANDATES?
I) The trendiness of "Libertarianism".
J) Why does the Charleston Police Department deploy "Teams", and why do all the marked cars seem to commingle everywhere?

Re: “Deregulation will only lead us to disaster”
What a load of big government propaganda. It is BIG GOVERNMENT who makes corporations so powerful that they are above the law. If you remove government from the equation, Big Business immediately collpases and the free market flrousishes, creating joy and propserity through the and.

Jack Hunter will be opening a new Fiero customization store, Jack Hunter's Fiero Shoppe, in North Charleston.
Re: “From farmers markets to cooking classes, schools are helping families grow better eating habits”
Are the children open to eating veggie burgers?
Re: “Deregulation will only lead us to disaster”
"food producers work hard to produce safe food, not because the government mandates it, but because killing your customers with tainted food is the quickest way to go out of business."
Clearly unfamiliar with the state of US food production before regulation. History, not even once.

Re: “Documentary screening tonight on Alvin Greene, voting technology”
When Alvin Greene came to North Myrtle Beach for a campaign stop, there were cameramen following him. Since I had a lot to say about how the SC voting machines are outlawed in other states, I was filmed.
These machines are second hand and were sold because of their ability to be manipulated. Of which this flaw can be just what SC lawmakers were looking for.
