    What specific improvements do you recommend?

    Perfectly fine with me. Just means fewer crowds and shorter waits for those of us that do use US airports.

    And less money, Sherlock.

    What do you suggest they [the authorities] do?

    Well, for starters, if they want to allow police to excercise greater policing powers, they should change the law to that affect. Otherwise the law means little.

    And that is a whole lot more dangerous than ten mad men with knives.

    Thank you for the photo and your eloquent post explaining why you took it. I particularly applaud your expressing how you appreciate police efforts, and think they should do so within the bounds of the law. Japan need not be society of men, and not laws.

    Calling the police who do not follow the legal codes "criminal" may be viewed by many as too argumentative. But what other word can we use to describe police who do not follow the established procedure for law enforcement...?

    Why would anyone object to letting the policeman look inside the bag?

    Because its my bag.

    Good to know the Bush League's plan reshape the entire Mid East region has been such a resounding success.

    The thing I really don't get is why the Republicans would so short-sightedly back the oil companies alleged robber baron fleecing of the American public. High oil prices are a symbol and important ingredient contributing to the faltering economy. And killing the Republican brand just as much as the Iraq war. Heck, high oil links the economy and the war in a way like no other.

    A real loser for this Fall. I just don't get it.

    Nothing in that rant of yours seems to bear upon the comment you supposedly are responding to. I guess its kind of a free association harangue you right-wingers just love.

    Touche. As Dr. Phil likes to say, "Assume makes an ass of you and me."

    As for Obama's growth process, I don't think the American public really wants a full disclosure on race and race relations. In fact, I think white America will welcome an Obama Presidency just to put the past in the past without all the trouble of vetting it all out.

    woops.

    Nah, I save my bile for those whose insanity and inanity really matter:

    The American Right. And their lathering rah rah squads.

    You see, they actually have power.

    You assume the quotes attributed to Obama are authentic. That is a dodgy proposition.

    Consider the source:

    There is none. Just a bunch of quotes from a Dreams of My Father Hmmm, the book is titled "Dreams from my Father." An inauspicious sign.

    Now, I have not read any of Obama's writings, and I doubt that Super D would either, let alone compile a list of damning quotes. From all this, I suspected that Super Delegate had found this compilation somewhere and posted it without verifying its accuracy. I cut and pasted the compiled quoted, googled it and sure enough, came up with:

    http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/didobamawritethathewouldstand.html

    After reading through this you may reassess the accuracy of the quotes that Super Delegate says Obama wrote.

    Which is not say that I am certain they are fabrications. As I wrote above, I have not read any of Obama's books. For all I know Fact Check is biased too.

    But I do know this: its very easy to make up a bunch of lies about a politician running for office and spread them around. One of the easiest ways, of course, is the Internet, the Great source of (dis)information. And there are many attack dogs across the political landscape who have absolutely no compunction about spreading such lies. They have the right to do so, within the limits that we all know, and the price for such freedom is eternal vigilance. Be vigilant in making people support their claims.

    In truth, knowing Super Delegate's posting style, I suspected from the get go that his little list would be compromised, that he would have no little interest in substantiating its authenticity, and that is why after having discovered the likely bogus nature of these quotes, I challenged him to substantiate their accuracy. Because, knowing Super Delegate, I know that he is often much less interested in the truth and more interested in throwing stuff to see what sticks.

    For this reason alone I suspected the quotes are fabrications.

    But the most compelling reason why its a dodgy proposition to assume the quotes attributed to Obama by Super Delegate are for real is simple: Obama wrote his books to introduce himself to the ** public to get elected.** Even if he thinks those things, and for all I know Obama does, he is a savvy guy; and any first year high-school student would know better than to talk about race and race relations with those words, in those tones, and expect to be liked by white people.

    Everything that comes out of hillary's mouth is a lie.

    That would not make her unique. For a politician or a JT poster.

    Moderator: Please keep the discussion civil. Implying that any JT poster is a liar is impolite.

    I characterized the words you say Obama wrote as un-American. Thus, no word putting into mouths has been done.

    By me But you have.

    You have put those most un-American words into Obama's mouth. You say he wrote them. Or rather, you've cut and pasted those words from some undisclosed source. Why should I, or anyone, believe they are true?

    Why do you? Why are you so eager to discuss those words, and how the media plays them or doesn't play them, without verifying their accuracy?

    Bingo,

    Obama won because he ran a better campaign.

    And more felt a better candidate.

    But all that is water under the bride. As Hillay herself said this morning

    "Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward."

    So, how are you doing tracking down source and the accuracy of those most un-American quotes you say Obama wrote?
