		<description><![CDATA[Acorn, the organization, apart from the two or three people caught up in the Fox News entrapment., Or was it really the witnessing of the Fox actors being: "Rocked to Sleep" by the street savvy workers? After all, I think the young lady, acting like a woman of the night, was only 18 or 19 yrs old. The Acorn people work directly with " People of the Street" and I think they may have just played along. They didn't realized they were being secretly recorded for the Fox News Network<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maarti.wordpress.com&blog=2398594&post=321&subd=maarti&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We as Americans only months ago voted for the first Black President of the United States. We no longer are required to sit in the back of buses or eat at separate lunch counters and the like. But we most continue to teach are young that although we have "Equal Rights", racism, hate and intolerance are still alive and well. This is despite the fact that we as a Nation, just elected an African American President. We must continue to educate our youth to the reality of today despite what is on the surface called progress.

		<description><![CDATA[What If the federal government had invested half the amount of money that it invested in Chrysler and G.M., which is about twenty-five billion to redevelop the city of Detroit? What might be the results?   I believe that such an investment would have lifted up the overall auto industry in Motown?

		<description><![CDATA[In my opinion, I sense an impatience with those in the GLBT community with President Obama's pace in over turning "Don't ask, Don't Tell" policy. Which he has not done yet. Yet, is the operative word in this case. I think it is very significant because the President has a lot on his plate.
