- "The fact that the vaccine targets a sexually transmitted virus, the human papilloma virus (HPV), and the vaccine is given to girls as young as nine adds to the controversy"
I get so annoyed when I see advertisements for the Gardasil vaccine because nowhere in the ad do they mention it is a vaccine against an std.

A nice little story.

- Chuck Rand, chief of staff and member of the board of directors for the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a bipartisan historical preservation society, says the argument about the 10th Amendment and sovereignty was just as much an issue prior to the Civil War as it is now.
"Every state did not have to join the Union. Originally only nine states joined. The others came later," says Rand, adding that the states could just as well have walked away.
Rand also points out that secessionist talk is not only about the Civil War, but has been ongoing in various states throughout U.S. history. For example, New England threatened secession over the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, and discussed it again during the War of 1812 at the Hartford Convention.
...
"Many people have ancestors who fought in the Civil War," explains Rand. "This is a deep wound for them. They have a lot of emotional sentiment."

- If states want to secede from the union because the union no longer upholds the Constitution; it is actually MORE patriotic than staying and just going along with it.
Also, this is not a new idea. It has been on a lot of people's minds for quite some time! I think the idea is gaining more awareness and consideration because it is disgustingly obvious that we do not live in the same United States that The Founding Fathers intended. What would I know though? I am Southern, Libertarian, and I have ancestors who fought in both the Revolutionary War (you know...the one where we fought against England for our Independence?) and The Civil War. Maybe I'm just biased.
Xzizor, have you ever read the Declaration of Independence? Perhaps you should. Here are the first two paragraphs to get you started:
"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. -- Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
It is not treason if the government no longer supports life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness!
Amide-If the northeast *is* the United States, what about the states that were part of the 13 Colonies that were not in the northeast? My family settled in eastern NC,SC and some in VA in the 1600's and many fought in the War for Independence. Jamestown, VA was the first English colony in the US (Not in a northeastern state)

- There is no such thing as "hate" crime...only crime. To be punished for what was going through your head if you committed a crime is THOUGHT crime.
