This idea talent will not go where the money is, makes me wonder about the motives of the individual. If you want to make money, go into the private sector."

Same thing for teachers!

Aaaah, upholding an old Arkansas tradition gets one into trouble, eh.

BTW, Max, I think Hendrix also voted against guns on campus about the same time that UCA did.

Did anybody check with the schools to see if the law was needed or wanted?

The clergy, political office, etc is a choice to have a job where the mission is service above self. I never sought office for financial gain nor would I do so.

Finally, I believe Martha Shoffner is a good person who just got caught up in something horrible. It's sad, it's tragic, but she needs to resign and take care of herself.

Believe me I have had a few.
He is the only lawyer that I have ever known that does what he says he is going to do.
Also, he answers has phone calls. (Which is rare)
I could go on and on and on
VOTE FOR REIF HE CARES

A 2011 analysis by the Center for Public Integrity found that Texas and Oklahoma "combined for more than a quarter of FEMA's declared disasters since Jan. 1, 2009." http://ualrpublicradio.org/post/oklahomas-gop-senators-find-themselves-tornado-aid-bind

Why are these states so rabidly anti-FEMA when they are the largest recipient of OUR largess? They should be pulling themselves back up with their bootstraps. Hypocrites - they should decline all aid and then explain to their constituency why they did so.

What do you do with a dog that bites the hand that feeds him?

"Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me" is what these (R)ed state hearts full of hate should be keeping in mind. One thinks they're going to have a Hell of a time getting through that needle on their camel.

Every time I read virtually anything about the place, The Natural State's true motto seems to be the State of Incompetence.

That is to say, establishing a theocracy.

In the immortal words of Richard Dawkins ("Dick" to friends, "DD" to intimates): "Religion is an evil precisely because it requires no justification and brooks no discussion."

Religion is the elephant in this particular living room (also the LGBT equality living room). The sooner everybody admits that and addresses it directly, the sooner it becomes apparent that these emperors have no clothes.

Keep religion in places of worship and out of the lives of those (increasing in numbers daily) who don't want it.

After all, they and legislative bodies in every other country make the laws that Apple and everyone else has to comply with."

Those Supreme Court-designated "people" (corporations) buy those loopholes in the tax laws; however, actual flesh-and-blood citizens don't have that buying power, and therefore we pay an amount far greater than 0.5%. I guess we ARE foolish to have paid for the infrastructure and institutions that have made their profits possible.

See, my hearsay is as good as Richard's or Brandi's hearsay.
