(CNN)The fatal beating of Lucas Leonard in the sanctuary of Word of Life Christian Church came after the teenager had "expressed a desire to leave" the secretive upstate New York church, New Hartford Police Chief Michael Inserra said Friday.

Thanks! With all this snooking around in my PQ, I'll have a diamond myself soon!

Seriously? Have you any experience with a large corporation? They waste money like you wouldn't believe... I worked for a major insurance company for 12 years back in the 80s and early 90s. The wasted funds were easily in the same scale as anything I've ever heard of. $600 hammers were nothing. They spent 2 years paying a dozen consultants to build a reporting system, cost: a few million dollars. Flew two people from each city office to Hartford for training and bought new computers specifically to run these reports, cost: ~ $10K per office...so another couple million. Ran the reports once, and abandoned the system. I'm not even sure that one run was ever actually looked at by anyone. This was standard procedure, not some isolated event.

Waste and inefficiency is not a government problem. It's a problem with -all- large organizations. At least there is some slight hope of finding out what happens with the government. There is no such hope for corporations...at least not for unregulated (or poorly regulated) corporations...or any business, not just corporations. A company is -always- paranoid about keeping its books private, and accountants are great at finding ways to disguise the facts when required to display them.

... I'm not all that paranoid about government corruption, but nobody can deny the tendency for government pork projects and general waste.

No. In fact, conservatives would be happy if the entire world had a middle class like America's, as it would actually bring in global peace and social justice, things which a lot of idiots say they want, but whose policies backfire and cause the opposite.
Also, look into the rates of charity giving between conservatives and liberals some time. If liberals cared so much about the poor, why don't they give money to help the poor?
Stop reading your idiot-child Chomsky, and look at real world statistics some time, before drawing stupid conclusions like the above.

Really? Examples, please. Show me examples of this global corporatist largess.
Here's one of mine:
NEW YORK - How can Michael Eisner, CEO of the Walt Disney Company, afford to pay himself $97,600 an hour? Easy. He contracts manufacturers who pay workers in Haiti who sew Pocahantas, Mickey Mouse and other Disney clothing for 28 cents an hour.

28 cents an hour. Disney labor in Haiti.
How fast would a middle class blossom at that rate?


You're using Michael Eisner as an example of a conservative? No wonder you're confused.

My guess is that if you're uneducated enough to think that Eisner is a conservative, you're in for quite a shock if you actually look at how many large business people are liberals. It's not by random chance - it's in their self interest to see Democrats win. If you'd like, I'll even explain why.

Heartless in Hartford. Shame on you all.

I was just duping when I found this. I feel just horrible for the old guy.

Here's the summary I typed out:

This poor 78-year-old guy in Hartford, CT is crossing a two lane street when he is struck by a car and goes flying over the hood.

The driver speeds off, but unbelievably NO ONE helps him. Cars continue driving around his body on the ground and passersby on the sidewalk do essentially nothing.

Finally at the end of this clip a police officer shows up and radios for an ambulance, but he just happened to be driving down this street and no one else bothered to call 911 for an ambulance up to that point.

Any future bans of weapons in the U.S. will more than likely follow some tragic event perpetrated by a single, damaged individual-
The Brady Bill was fast-tracked, after just such a convenient event.

A more reasonable approach to disarming a nation would be to place prohibitions on the availability of ammunition.

It is a dead certainty, that the media in the U.S., being the uninformed, uneducated, easily manipulated and agenda-oriented bobble-head tools of their owners that they are, will be instrumental in the dis-arming of the Nation, though it will take some catastrophe, natural or engineered to do so....

synchron, in the U.S., an individual may purchase from another individual, any of the guns on the banned list-they can not be marketed through the manufacturer or retailers-
The only 4 guns I will ever need, are all still legal-
Colt 1911 45
Marlin 45/70 Guide Gun
12-gauge (take yer pick, several semi-autos worth while)
and the fun gun
the 1927 A-1 Deluxe Thompson Lightweight (only semi-autos are legal, the fully-auto Thompson is on the banned list)

The only other gun that one would need would be a long-range sniper rifle, and the one that a proficient user could strike the most fear into a would-be assailant that I would have, is this one-SHARPS ARMS MODEL 1874 HARTFORD SPORTING RIFLE-(same calibre as the Marlin...the gun Quigley used)

All for shock and awe and the continued availability of the ammunition used, the shotgun shell,the 45 acp, and the 45/70, may never be banned-and even if they are, they are the only thing worth reloading.
