It is not racism, but just good business.

You guys are complaining about 80,000 per year? You do not realize how good you have it in Japan. You would…

David is a good man and has always stood up for human rights.

I am sure his letter will do some good in waking up the police to the fact that security measures should be tempered with common sense .

The police are just doing their job in anticipation of…

Obama isn't any more "unproven" than Bush or Clinton were when they were both elected.
