When a right is granted and ignored, our laws provide for remedy. At the time of the Atlantic slave trade countries were just beginning to consider that slavery was inhumane, to the point of making it illegal, and the US trailed this awakening. The call for reparations seems unperturbed by the revisionist thinking required in the light of legal enactments of the time. It would be more reasonable to argue that freed slaves were damaged by the subsequent denial of full rights provided for at the time of the emancipation proclamation, up to the time when Jim Crow statutes were enacted. And then there is the statute of limitations with which to contend.
Do not expect this wrenching to go away any time soon.

Great blog I just found.
I found this site poking around over on the wave stationx blog. The site is: www.actingwhite.blogspot.com. It has some very thoughtful posts on race issues.

Cash-for-clunkers boost Japanese car sales
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/e4a67592-8b74-11de-9f50-00144feabdc0.html
So what?
The point was to trade in your clunker (car that gets shitty mileage) for a newer car with good gas mileage. You can't blame folks for going japanese. I just bought a new used car, didn't get my $4500 (you need really shitty mileage or a friend at the dealership), I bought a Ford- but you're not going to tell me the parts aren't from Japan, you need metric tools to do anything to it.

Sorry not big on" the grassy noll studies".(example:Alex Jones,George Noree or conspiracy theories in general!!!) Look we all know that there are power elites behind the people we elect in public office. I think that our elected officals should use more common sense and defend the american citizens from real problems and not shit made up by Alex Jones,George Noree.
I'm reading through earlier postings on Micheal's blog and it is amazing how some people are just well losing thier minds we have a first lady who is a strong black woman. "Damn she is a racist cause she wrote something that rocked the foundations of you "rightwing godfearing don't see race in anything cause the world we live in is based on MERIT." " (Something she wrote while in college!!! Really?? Really??) This a little dated cause I'm new to the Blog but Gee people through life experiences change. (I like to think we all do. I know I have.)

I guess your right. I should have put all that in my response back to Anonymous. But from what I can tell from listening to "The Justice Files" a lot of you guys have your descrpition covered.
Also I didn't ID myself as a liberal but gee OKAY!!!! If makes it simple for yah. I guess...
Sorry I come from "The WAVESTIONX" school of thought where conspiracy theories are the foundation for those special people that are in our country.. (and I mean SPECIAL)

Yeah! The idea that people would conspire to commit atrocities for their own gain, that's just silly.
That's like saying that there are actually people out there that would kill somebody for a dime-rock.

ScienceDaily (Aug. 25, 2009) — Solar cells could soon be produced more cheaply using nanoparticle “inks” that allow them to be printed like newspaper or painted onto the sides of buildings or rooftops to absorb electricity-producing sunlight.
Brian Korgel, a University of Texas at Austin chemical engineer, is hoping to cut costs to one-tenth of their current price by replacing the standar More..d manufacturing process for solar cells – gas-phase deposition in a vacuum chamber, which requires high temperatures and is relatively expensive.
“That’s essentially what’s needed to make solar-cell technology and photovoltaics widely adopted,” Korgel said. “The sun provides a nearly unlimited energy resource, but existing solar energy harvesting technologies are prohibitively expensive and cannot compete with fossil fuels.”
For the past two years, Korgel and his team have been working on this low-cost, nanomaterials solution to photovoltaics – or solar cell – manufacturing. Korgel is collaborating with professors Al Bard and Paul Barbara, both of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Professor Ananth Dodabalapur of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. They recently showed proof-of-concept in a recent issue of Journal of the American Chemical Society.
The inks could be printed on a roll-to-roll printing process on a plastic substrate or stainless steel. And the prospect of being able to paint the “inks” onto a rooftop or building is not far-fetched.
“You’d have to paint the light-absorbing material and a few other layers as well,” Korgel said. “This is one step in the direction towards paintable solar cells.”
Korgel uses the light-absorbing nanomaterials, which are 10,000 times thinner than a strand of hair, because their microscopic size allows for new physical properties that can help enable higher-efficiency devices.
In 2002, he co-founded a company called Innovalight, based in California, which is producing inks using silicon as the basis. This time, Korgel and his team are using copper indium gallium selenide or CIGS, which is both cheaper and benign in terms of environmental impact.
“CIGS has some potential advantages over silicon,” Korgel said. “It’s a direct band gap semiconductor, which means that you need much less material to make a solar cell, and that’s one of the biggest potential advantages.”
His team has developed solar-cell prototypes with efficiencies at one percent; however, they need to be about 10 percent.
“If we get to 10 percent, then there’s real potential for commercialization,” Korgel said. “If it works, I think you could see it being used in three to five years.”
He also said that the inks, which are semi-transparent, could help realize the prospect of having windows that double as solar cells. Korgel said his work has attracted the interest of industrial partners.
Funding for the research comes from the National Science Foundation, the Welch Foundation and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
come on man, everybody knows that nanotechnology doesn't really exist;)

Yes, politics is played out but Ted Kennedy was a supporter of legislation that dealt with health care reform over the last 20 years.
It was his baby so to speak..
If a bill is passed it will be named after Kennedy and I hope it has teeth in it that deals with the issues that americans face when dealing with this important issue.

A Bird's Paradise
by Marilyn Seray
Dangling my legs, I step on my worries
And leave them behind
Soaring through the sky with the
Wind on my face, I can see beauty
As the birds do
I stretch my wings as far as I can
While I effortlessly glide towards
The horizon
The scent up here is contentment
And peace; light and hypnotizing
A perfect getaway – a bird’s paradise
Just above earth where all is serene
This dude is pissed

I listen to "The Justice Files" on 8/30/2009. I heard this all before on another show (GLEN BECK). Gee Mike you starting to sound like that "Wackjob". I heard you are into the deep conspiracy theories but Gee Mike lets be I don't know a little rational!!!! Its ok to be skeptical of our Goverment but lets not make shitup now!!!!
Bring Back WAVESTIONX!!!!!!!
okay, I'm curious. what did he make up?
From the Headline of the WavestAtionx Blog - "People Believe In Free Speech, Until They Hear Something They Do Not Like"
Apparently, John is either young or dumb (or both). He can't spell, suggesting a lack of education, nor will he proofread, suggesting a lack of maturity. So, let's take a look at his last post with the heart of a teacher.
Sentence #1: I listen to "The Justice Files" on 8/30/2009.
Correction: You were speaking in the past tense, so you should have used the word, "listened."
Sentence #2: I heard this all before on another show (GLEN BECK).
Correction: Glenn Beck's first name is spelled, "Glenn."
Sentence #3: Gee Mike you starting to sound like that "Wackjob".
Correction #1: There should be a comma after the word "Gee."
Correction #2: There should be a comma after the name, "Mike."
Correction #3: "You starting" should be "You are starting."
Correction #4: "Wackjob" is not a word.
Correction #5: The period comes before the quotation mark at the end of a sentence.
Sentence #4: I heard you are into the deep conspiracy theories but Gee Mike lets be I don't know a little rational!!!!
Correction #1: The word, "Gee," should not be capitalized.
Correction #2: There should be a comma after the word, "gee."
Correction #3: There should be a comma after the name, Mike."
Correction #4: "Lets" should be "let's."
Correction #5: This is a run-on sentence that should have been two sentences.
Sentence #5: Its ok to be skeptical of our Goverment but lets not make shitup now!!!!
Correction #1: "Its" should be "It's."
Correction #2: The word, government, should not have been capitalized.
Correction #3: There should be a comma after the word, "government."
Correction #4: "Lets" should be "let's."
Correction #5: "Shitup" should have been "shit up."
Correction #6: There should have been a comma after the word, "up."
I pity you, John.

Hey Illuminutty!!!
I try to stay on the facts and not get into personal attacks but you know I do have to respond to you.
I'm a college grad and well I'm young at heart I guess. My punctuation and spelling skills can be better. (I admit that) But you don't have to have pity for me cause at least I don't have any for the likes of you. (Gee you attacked me on the presentation of my last post but you didn't have a take on what I wrote about conspiracy theories or the topic on mike's show which was on the 31rst.)
Again, so sorry. I don't get into the secret societies,so called shadow gov.,Aliens,Lizard People or so called patriot movements that I guess you guys are into on the "Justice Files". I try to deal on the facts and I'm willing to be challenge on my ideas. Question are you willing to do the same???

How To Destroy The 9/11 Truth Movement
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzgEDB9I0LM
John,
Being shocked by your low-quality written communication, I was under the false impression that you were around the age of eight; therefore, a response to the subject matter would have been meaningless.
Claiming to "stay on the facts" is one thing while lying is another. Aliens and reptiles rear their heads on a show that sucks, airing on a different night.
If you would like to stay above personal attacks, then please hold yourself to that standard. That being said, your use of the name, "illuminutty," was very gay.
September 11, 2001: The Day Our World Changed
Planes crashing into buildings
in pictures from a disaster film
before our actual eyes
On the small screen filling our homes
with scenes of terror so horrifying
they must be simulated
Unable to comprehend
how anyone willingly could commit
these brutal acts of terror
Yet these images of harsh reality
become etched into our memory
As we watch the destruction
of a way of life
The laughter of my young daughter
pulls me from the barrage of images
and back into the reality of our day
Too young to know what has happened
yet sensing the anxiety in the air
Focusing on the exploration of her world
with a simple request of "Out"
Her small hand placed trustingly in mine
to guide her on way
A little voice of hope for the future
A nation, a world in tears
united in grief and loss
A tragedy so large
the loss so pervasive
the depth of emotions so great
no words can truly convey the mood
The sacrifice of so many lives
from so many countries
As we struggle to make some sense of the senseless
and look to answer the question
"Why?"
Yet many others saved
by acts of kindness from strangers
and in the mission thwarted
by last heroic acts of sacrifice and bravery
The eagle like the mighty phoenix
emerges from the ashes
bruised, but not beaten
stronger than ever
Out of the rubble of destruction
Seeds of hope
Stories of courage
Heroes emerge
Our country unites
To learn and to change
so that it never happens again
To keep the memories of the events and the people alive
but to also keep living
If not for ourselves
for our way of life
for our freedom
for our children
© 2001 Kirsti A. Dyer, MD, MS
Yes, it's that special time of year
No, not to celebrate and speak of good cheer
But to question how and why and remember the lives lost right here
Also to remember the day the world changed
The wars that ensued and even the money exchanged
A time to question what happened and exactly how it was arranged

Just because someone doesn't think America is "run by and controled[sic] by Jews" that doesn't mean "Jews have no power in the US". You should tell us why jews should be kept away from power (please recite it in the original german).

A guy joins a monastery and takes a vow of silence: he’s allowed to say two words every seven years. After the first seven years, the elders bring him in and ask for his two words. “Cold floors,” he says. They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him back in and ask for his two words. He clears his throats and says, “Bad food.” They nod and send him away. Seven more years pass. They bring him in for his two words. “I quit,” he says. “That’s not surprising,” the elders say. “You’ve done nothing but complain since you got here.”

Look MTJ doesn't make things up!! If I give that impression to you Justice Files fans then I'm sorry.(MY BAD!!!) I think if you make statements that 9-11 was a insider job then you have to back it up with facts... If you say that there is a secret org. that really run the goverment then who are the members???
Hi, John
My name is Bruce. I'm 32 years old. I really like Greek food. I'm straight and unmarried. I dig watching Star Trek but I don't put on the funny outfits and go to conventions, though that sounds like it could actually be fun. I consider myself a student because I'm almost always learning something but I don't attend school.
The facts about 9-11 are all over the internets. You might want to check out a documentary called Loose Change that is available on google video. They go over a ton of 9-11 facts in that film.
There is a blog that does what they can to debunk that film called screwloosechange. To find it just type it in to your favorite search engine. My favorite search engine right now is Google.
I've been around a bit and I've seen a lot of cold things that actually do go on. I say that 9-11 was an inside job because that's the only answer to most of my questions that makes any sense to me.
It is quite well known, in my opinion, that international bankers have a lot of influence over the governments that use their monetary systems. There is a documentary film called "Money Masters" and several other documentaries on this subject as well as the subject of secret societies that can be found via Google or another search engine.
Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed by the things I learn and when I do, I just remember that people in the world used to be a whole lot colder to each other back in the day and this is a fact that can be backed up by most history books.
By the way, I used to listen to WaveStationX all the time when it was on. Do you like greek food?

Thank you for making that statement, John. Te absolvo. Dominus vobiscum.
I'm sorry, all.
I'm glad you've taken up reading, Mike. Maybe your future posts won't be so retarded. If I want to feel unwelcome, all I need to do is read the money in my pocket. I appreciate the sentiment, anymay.
Bruce,
There is some fact in all conspiracy theories. But there is a lot of fiction. I think dealing in conspiracy theories are easy because people want a easy explanation to what is going on in the world,and events that happend in the past.
The History Channel had a great doc. called "9-11 Fact or Fiction" which was about people like Alex Jones,Truthers,and the folks that made the film "Loose Change". It used the great "Popular Mechanics" article that debunked these people and looked at documented facts of those events of that day. You need to remember something Alex Jones is selling a product so he is trying to make money.
A informed citzen is a must in any democracy or republic. I believe in taking people on and make them responsible for what they say.
I'm also a big "Star Trek" fan. Love the old series,new series and all the spinoffs. Loved the last movie and can't wait for the sequel in 2011.
I missed WavestationX and my good buddy the evil genius on the air. It was a show that held the rightwing wacko's accountable and I feel that KKFI is lacking in a strong mainstream talk show.
John,
I definitely agree that KKFI is lacking as far as mainstream stuff goes. That's the main reason why I like it so much. Mainstream talk radio is too polarizing for my taste. In my observations, too much mainstream polarization tends to lead to name-calling, fist-fights, and people biting fingers off. This gets us nowhere fast.
I haven't seen the most recent Star Trek movie yet and I didn't know they already had a sequel planned. That's awesome, I can't wait.
I plan to check out that "9-11 fact or fiction" documentary but probably not for the same reasons you did. Since it apparently focused so much on those people and not their arguments then I could definitely see why you might think that most 9-11 truthers are into tinfoil-hats and UFOs. Don't get me wrong, The Alex Jones Show SUCKS, but as they say, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
In regards to the Popular Mechanics thing -
"The article's approach is to identify and attack a series of claims which it asserts represent the whole of 9/11 skepticism. It gives the false impression that these claims, several of which are clearly absurd, represent the breadth of challenges to the official account of the flights, the World Trade Center attack, and the Pentagon attack. Thus it purports to debunk conspiracy theorists' physical-evidence-based claims, without even acknowledging that there are other grounds on which to question the official story. Indeed many 9/11 researchers don't even address the physical evidence, preferring instead to focus on who had the the means, motive, and opportunity to carry out the attack."

I too believe in holding people accountable for the things they say.(besides some small talk) I too think that The "rightwing wacko's" on talk radio should be held accountable more often for what they say as well. Like when they say that homeless people should be put in jail to give cops jobs. It's gotta be cheaper for the taxpayers to buy some land and give them communities where they could grow their own food, clothing, shelter, and alcohol than to lock em up somewhere.
Surprisingly, I guess we are on the same page in some respects.
The first time that I ever spoke out to anybody about what I thought about 9-11 was when I called in to WaveStationX one night and spoke my mind. I admit, I was scared shitless that dudes in black suits were gonna drag me off to a torture camp or something. They never showed up, so I kept speaking my mind to others about it. If they ever do show up, that's when I'll have my tinfoil hat and UFO stories ready. :)
Peace, Bruce
