I still don't think that NC should have the right to sell lottery tickets to stuff their coffers and a business man can't have entertainment and pay taxes on the income for the people of NC. We should be able to choose how we spend what little money we have left after filling our tanks with fuel and the NC state getting the highest fuel tax in these United States. If people want to play the video machines then leave them alone and let them enjoy them on their free time. They are a game of skill and the player has the choice of what he does with his hard earned money. I wonder some time if we are a free Nation. Leave the old widows and singles that enjoy playing Video poker, Bingo alone . At least they are not out shooting people and selling drugs that are killing our youth. Mostly the people that play these games are lonely and it gives them the opportunity to have a place to be able to have some kind of company instead of sitting home in front of the tube, with no one to talk to or enjoy others in a social way. Let the ALE and other agency that are waisting time and tax payer money not doing anything about the drugs that are in our cities and all over the State. Have you ever seen a bingo player or machine player kill somebody? They are entitled to some form of pleasure with out being harassed comment by mac1944 on Game Over, Illegal Video Poker Ring Jul 16, 2008 05:10 AM [GMT] |

He should be embarassed. This might have been the dumbest decision in the history of baseball. What a disappointment this was for all the fans who watched the game til the end, only to have it called a tie! comment by Les Hughes on Selig still embarrassed by '02 All-Star game Jul 15, 2008 4:51 PM [GMT] |

A very impressive performance by Josh Hamilton in the Home Run Derby. It's a shame he couldn't win in the final round. I think he wore himself out with his 28 homers in round one. comment by Les Hughes on Hamilton's jacks typify Stadium history Jul 15, 2008 4:49 PM [GMT] |

The government borrowed the money to give taxpayers stimulus money SO WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GET THE MONEY FOR MORTGAGES PROBABLY FROM SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN STEALING FROM FOR YEARS - EVER SINCE IT WAS REMOVED FROM ITS TRUST AND PUT INTO THE GENERAL FUND - THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE PAID IT BACK - I FOR ONE DO NOT BELIEVE IT!!! comment by barbhughes on U.S. Senate passes housing crisis bill Jul 12, 2008 4:54 PM [GMT] |

I agree with you. I also feel the only ones to vote on the All Star Game is the fans and players - Phillips should be there AND PLAYING - he had no errors at all before the candidates were announced - the players should be based on their ability NOT ON WHAT THEIR TEAM HAS WON OR LOST comment by barbhughes on Fantasy crushed with a look at Phillips' numbers Jul 12, 2008 4:38 PM [GMT] |

If they do not get rid of this new bill - you may find your private conversations being listened to by all - because once this is in effect they will expand it and expand it until they can listen to anyone they want!!! comment by barbhughes on Bush signs bill overhauling eavesdropping rules Jul 10, 2008 10:41 PM [GMT] |

This brings back memories of the terrible death of Dominic James in Springfield Mo. where the foster father beat him to death. Even though during his trial it was said he was shaken to death, those of us who attending the funeral know different. This child wore a baseball cap in his casket to conceal head trauma. Maberys' actions are unexcusable. You don't become that jealous of a child. Only a coward would do what she did. The father, I believe knew of the abuse. Maybe he didn't want to acknowledge it, but a caring parent would have known, "It's called denial". How he waited two hours to call the police after finding his son that way, I just can't imagine. Could he have been afraid of her himself? She should never get her daughter back. Mother's in Missouri lose their children for far less and some never get their children back and have not been accused of abuse. Cassandra Killpack, a child in the state of Utah, is also another child that comes to mind when I read this story. She was murdered for taking a sip of kool-aid from her adoptive sister's cup after being denied drink on a consistant basis over months. It's very hard not to see racism as a motive in all three of these cases. I wonder what this young father must think now about how this person feels about him in order to do something this terrible to his son? His life will be forever marred by this incident. comment by justus on 2-year-old beaten to death in Jeffco Jul 10, 2008 9:25 PM [GMT] |
