It takes all kinds of people to make all walks of life. Even if some do not need to procreate.

Has McCain really spelled out a plan for anything? I've watched the debates and I didn't hear much more than "Maverick" Well, Maverick defined is a non-conformist and that doesn't tell me much I didn't already know. So when McCain starts "straight talking", I'll start listening, otherwise Obama will likely have my vote.

I don't believe they should regulate the internet. But certain things need to disappear or be illegal because this is what is contributing to these types of crime.

The story failed to mention that this is hte son of the county judge executive, and the current deputy judge executive for magoffin county. No wonder we cant solve our problems in magoffin county (i.e. no water, jobs, education, infrastructure, etc.) when our elected officials are too busy chasing jail bait.

Why isn't NBC not covering Mr.Huckabee and his comments last week about the fact that someone or persons are purposely trying to casue the stock market to crash? Could it have something to do with the tri-lateral commission and one one world bank and one world government. Every heard of WEATHER?
