Glenn Beck came on Anderson Cooper 360 the other night about Don Imus and his nappy-headed hos comment. I think he, like Rush Limbaugh and the rest of them, are just loud. But their loudness is categorized as entertainment. This I find disturbing.
At one point, Mr. Beck made a statement on the show that deserves a slap to the face: "That would be like me saying, the Duke lacrosse team, nothing but a bunch of toothless hicks, and then Jesse Jackson coming on and saying, well, look at them, they're a bunch of toothless hicks, and then me saying, how dare you say that?"
The term "toothless hick" doesn't apply to a race of people – if anything, it's geographical discrimination. If you are backwards and come from a small country town in the south, then in the north you will be considered a hick (or toothless if you don't care for your dental needs). The term "nappy-headed hos" has more to do with a specific race – mine, which is African-American.
I don't see how Glenn can think these terms are one and the same.
One thing that a lot of white people use against us, which to a certain degree works, is the old "You do it too" accusation. That is where they hear us use terms, such as the one Imus used, and incorporate them into their own conversations. Sometimes they even try to make them sound funny the same way we do. Where they mess up is with the tone and delivery of the language, not the actual words.
But for people like Beck, there is no gray area. If a black man calls someone a cracker, we should be able to accept the consequences of our actions and accept criticism from the other side when we say those things. That's fine and dandy, but we live in the real world – not in utopia.
In the real world black people have been through more hell than any white person can imagine. That's an uncomfortable and unchangeable fact to me coming from a generation that hasn't had to deal with the racism of my parent's, or earlier generations. It should come as no surprise that a lot of our own families talk about the old days with such fury and anger and frustration. It's not coming out of some lack of something to do, or just anger from anger – but from centuries of abuse and slavery.
If you were, as a white person, to call someone a "nappy-headed ho" in person, what do you expect would happen? These are things that get thrown to the wind when in the comfortable confines of the media. Out in public, you might not be so lucky.
How then, can "toothless hick" and "nappy-headed hos" be considered the same? I must be missing something. To me, there is a difference.

Review: New Surface tablets make typing easy
Is Microsoft's Surface a tablet or a laptop? I'm not quite sure, but it is a lot easier to type on than an iPad.
Is Microsoft's Surface a tablet or a laptop? I'm not quite sure, but it is a lot easier to type on than an iPad.
US aviation officials are considering easing restrictions on the use of personal electronics like smartphones, laptop computers and e-readers aboard airplanes, a spokesman said Monday.
Microsoft refreshed its Surface tablet computers Monday, giving them longer battery life and better comfort on laps as the software giant continues its transformation into a devices and services company.
Britain's biggest retailer Tesco on Monday unveiled its first tablet computer, as the supermarket chain seeks to boost flagging sales in its domestic market.
Microsoft Corp. is expected to announce new Surface tablet computers, including a version with a smaller screen to compete with Google's Nexus 7 and Apple's iPad Mini.
A year after its flubbed tablet introduction, Microsoft is back with a new Surface.
Outgoing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said his biggest regret is missing the boat on smartphones—but he said the software giant should not admit defeat just yet.
Dim lighting, a jumble of conversations, and loud music: bar staff have to master numerous challenges when serving their customers. In a crowded place, they have to identify who would like to place an order and who does not. ...
A majority of Americans use their mobile phones to access the Internet, and a growing number use their handsets as their primary online device, a survey showed Monday.
A Thai cable television company on Thursday said it was suing Apple for $3 million accusing the US technology giant of selling an application that violates its exclusive rights to English Premier League football.

FUW slams Daily Mail for repeat offence
03/09/2014 15:22
The Farmers' Union of Wales has described as 'shoddy' failings by the Daily Mail which led the newspaper to make inaccurate claims about the dairy industry which its sister newspaper, the Mail on Sunday had already been forced to apologise about.
In an article published in the Daily Mail on August 30 entitled 'So that's why you're dog tired' Dr Sohère Roked claimed cows are injected with hormones to keep them producing milk all year round and that hormones and antibiotics are present in milk - claims which the Mail on Sunday was forced to apologise for having made in 2005 after the FUW complained directly to the paper and to the Press Complaint Commission.
Dei Davies, chairman of the union's milk and dairy produce committee said: "Back in June 2005, an article published in the Mail on Sunday, entitled 'Time to wean yourself off milk?' incensed the FUW as it stated that most farmers gave their cattle growth hormones. The article also stated that most milk contains antibiotic.
"Given that the administration of growth hormones is illegal in the UK and that strict guidelines and testing ensure that no antibiotic residues are present in UK retail milk the FUW believed that an apology and correction was well warranted," added Mr Davies.
The FUW wrote to the Press Complaints Commission in 2005 regarding the issue and, as a result, received an apology from the Mail on Sunday.
"It is incredibly disappointing that we are here again, some nine years later after the union received an apology from the Mail on Sunday over very similar issues.
"Lessons clearly have not been learned and the union once again finds itself defending the dairy industry against ill-researched and uneducated articles. UK milk is produced to high welfare standards and is a good, healthy, quality product.
"We will be seeking a published apology and correction from the Daily Mail and assurances that these type of articles will not appear in future. The publication of such potentially damaging articles must be stopped," added Mr Davies.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Continued from page 1
So why are incumbent regulated industries fighting these developments? And why are the regulators who police them turning around instead to slap down the innovators before they've even had a chance to try new approaches to old businesses?
The short answer is that innovation and regulation simply don't work together. Regulated industries—including strictly licensed services from lawyers and doctors, public utilities such as power and water companies, and government-provided services including roads, bridges, and the post office—operate outside market-based systems. Competition is prohibited, even criminalized. Since innovative technologies are a particularly ruthless kind of competitor, they are directly or indirectly banned.
But why do governments choose to displace the market in the first place? In exchange for rules that sharply limit if not ban industry disruptors, companies in regulated industries agree to a wide range of public interest concessions, including price controls, guaranteed access, pre-approval on changing or eliminating services or offering new services, and extensive licensing requirements, oversight, and continuing education. That, at least, is the theory of regulation.
Taxi and limousine services operate in a non-market economy because cities and states long-ago determined that the benefits of eliminating competition outweighed the costs. So it's worth asking again what those costs and benefits are, and whether the balance, thanks to the availability of disruptive new technologies, has changed.
The benefits of closely overseeing ride services are obvious—or, at least, were obvious when rules went into widespread existence starting in the early 20th century. They include ensuring that drivers and their vehicles are safe and adequately insured, that passengers are charged reasonable and predictable fares, and that limits are placed to protect drivers and riders alike from having so many vehicles for hire on city streets that no traffic can actually move.
The costs of removing competitive pressures from industries are also significant. Chief among them: in the absence of market dynamics, there are few if any incentives to innovate. Why should the driver of my last cab ride spruce up his vehicle, when every taxi at the cab stand charges the same fare and goes whenever its turn comes up? When price is controlled and new entrants are prohibited, only a fool would spend money to differentiate their product or service.
That's surely the state of the taxicab business in most cities. Drivers and companies can only charge what the local taxicab commission allows. There's no reason to improve their service, especially not by investing in technology that makes quality of service more transparent or which makes delivery of service more efficient.
And they don't. Look inside a typical taxicab today and you'll find little in the way of technological sophistication. Just a meter (introduced in 1897), a two-way radio (circa 1940), and maybe a GPS device (not likely--after all, getting lost earns you more money).
There is also the problem political scientists call "regulatory capture." Since regulators and the industries they oversee deal almost exclusively only with each other, they tend over time to develop a customer-provider relationship, in which both have a vested interest in continuing the regulatory system long after the public interest benefits have been vastly outweighed by the anti-innovation costs.
The regulator becomes the industry's cheerleader, and regulations shift subtly from protecting the public interest to protecting the status quo.
So it's only rational that when disruptive technologies enable new innovations, regulated industry incumbents run the other way, working to ban rather than embrace them. Unfortunately, the only tool in their arsenal is to wake up the regulators and demand they use the full force of the state to put a stop to such things.
That tactic usually works, and would have worked to stop new ride-dispatching services cold if not for another disruptive technology: social networks. Uber and its kin have been saved not by spending equal amounts of money lobbying, litigating, and performing other unsavory acts, but by mobilizing a vocal army of loyal customers, who Tweet, Facebook, blog and show up at city council meetings to shout down the illogic of traditional regulators.
When the D.C. City Council introduced an "Uber Amendment" that would have shut down the service last year, for example, Uber's customers organized themselves both online and off, forcing council members to do their back room deals with taxi services in the open. Courage quickly failed.
The Lessons of Uber Go the the Heart of the Internet Itself
There's a lesson there for all start-ups, regardless of the kind of disruption they have in mind. Early users aren't just your design team, they're also your lobbyists. And they can be remarkably effective.
But the bigger lesson is about the relationship between innovation and regulation generally. I want to be clear here. Unlike Uber CEO Kalanick, who suggested to Rep. Goodlatte that Congress should consider stepping in to supersede all state and local car service rules, I don't believe we should immediately eliminate all regulations. Safety, predictable prices, and adequate insurance are still important public interest goals that could justify some level of continued government oversight. If not for taxicabs, than certainly for doctors and power companies. Maybe even banks.
Uber and its start-up peers are the darlings today of consumers and innovation-minded politicians alike, but watch what happens the first time a passenger is assaulted by an inadequately-screen driver, or when a shared-ride vehicle gets into a serious accident without adequate insurance.

Moral Aspects of Legal Theory by David Lyons
Book DescriptionDavid Lyons is one of the pre-eminent philosophers of law active in the United States. This volume comprises essays written over a period of twenty years in which Professor Lyons outlines his fundamental views about the nature of law and its relation to morality and justice. The underlying theme of the book is that a system of law has only a tenuous connection with morality and justice. Contrary to those legal theorists who maintain that no matter how bad the law of a community might be, strict conformity to existing law automatically dispenses 'formal' justice, Professor Lyons contends that the law must earn the respect that it demands. Moreover, we cannot, as some would suggest, interpret law in a value-neutral manner. Rather courts should interpret statutes, judicial precedents, and constitutional provisions in terms of values that would justify those laws. In this way officials can promote the justifiability of what they do to people in the name of law, and can help the law live up to its moral pretensions.

Lufthansa has cancelled about two-thirds of its flights after cabin crews walked out at airports around the country in an escalating battle with Germany's largest airline.
However, signs are emerging that the two sides may be prepared to return to the negotiating table.
UFO union chairman Nicoley Baublies told the Associated Press at Frankfort airport that he had talked on the phone with Lufthansa during the night, and that the two sides had agreed to call in a mediator to help them settle their dispute.
The flight attendants, represented by the UFO union, walked out at midnight on Thursday in a 24-hour strike.
The dispute comes as Lufthansa struggles to fend off challenges from budget carriers and government-owned airlines in the Persian Gulf.Reuse content

Despite all evidence to the contrary, conservative author/speaker Ann Coulter is not a rabid racist.
She's a comedian and she's doing conservative political humor. You radical liberals just don't get it.
]]>Will Arnett, Dan Aykroyd, Dave Foley, Michael J. Fox, Jim Carrey, Mike Meyers, Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, and Martin Short are from Canada, Coulter thinks Canadians are totally humorless.
much was proven recently when she got railed by a bunch of dour
activist Canadians students who accused her of racism and hate speech,
which apparently is illegal in Canada.
The kids were particularly incensed over her statements that Muslims should be banned from flying.
She explained to her pal Bill O'Reilly
afterwards that the much-hyped CNN clip of her telling one of those
students that Muslims should "take a camel" was just another one of her
funny jokes.
"Funny that a lot of my most hateful speech are
things I never said," Coulter insisted. "Or they're jokes, that's what
they usually are."
To prove her point, she made another joke.
"Seven Imams were threatening to boycott Northwest Airlines… I just
pointed out how ironic it was that the Imams were threatening to
boycott airlines, and if all Muslims boycotted airlines we could
dispense with airport security altogether."
You know, we might think it was funny too, if we didn't believe that deep down she's dead serious.
What do you think? Is Ann joking or not?

Gay students recount their torment - Second of two parts

Updated: 08/27/2012 08:26:22 AM PDT
Editor's note:
This is the second of a two-part series examining the bullying of gay students in area schools and how school districts address the issue. |
Read the first of two parts
Anthony Escobar says he's been bullied for three years at La Mirada High School.
The 17-year-old senior has been shoved in the hallway, called anti-gay slurs and told he's "going to hell" for being gay and wearing makeup.
"School is a nightmare," Escobar said. "I have to keep my guard up."
Escobar's bullying is not an isolated incident, students say.
