I'm here boys. Thanks for your concern and I apologize for not checking in. I've been traveling and find it awkward to post here from mobil devices. I'll be a better boy when I get home.4 points

On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh claimed that Hillary Clintons Benghazi hearing is staged. Limbaugh claimed that Republicans were in on the conspiracy too, because this was all part of getting Hillary Clinton elected in 2016. LOL Rush is a douche and hates that a strong woman kicked the ass of his Republican cohorts. Way to go Hillary. You have been a great service to the USA in the last 4 years and I look forward to whatever you decide to do in 4 more years.2 points

To take this to a jury would cost he and his family at least $250,000. Juries are admonished to follow the law as it is applied. Depending on the charges and judge's instructions, the jury may well be forced to find guilt as defined by the charges. Lesser charges are often not included as an option.1 point

I have miles in all three aliainces(OneWorld/Skyteam/Star)and I keep enough in my accounts for emergencies as well as using them for trips. I have a lot of miles and I have burned through a lot of miles. While they do not earn interest they can be a nice little pillow to have...and also a goal to aim for. That being said the game is becoming a lot more work than it used to be. I hope everybody has looked over at Flyertalk.com for some advice. If that is a little to hard core my friend Brian has a neat site- ThePointsGuy.com he has a LOT of advice on milage earning credit cards etc.1 point -
Progress Does Not Always Come Easy by Jimmy Carter As a legislator in my state I drew up my first law to say that citizens could never vote again after they had passed away. My fellow members faced the troubling issue bravely, locked in hard debate on whether, after someone's death had come, three years should be adequate to let the family, recollecting him, determine how a loved one may have cast a vote if he had only lived to see the later voting day. My own neighbors warned me I had gone too far in changing what we'd always done. I lost the next campaign, and failed to carry a single precinct with a cemetery. From Jimmy Carter's Always A Reckoning and Other Poems, Random House, 1995.1 point

I'm too old to bareback. I'm old enough to remember the time before HIV, and I barebacked then. Then the plague came and I watched lots of people die and my community get decimated. I was lucky that I was a bit picky and hung up, or I may well not have lived through that time. I'm really, really happy that we've made such great progress treating this horrific disease, but it isn't the common cold. If the medicines don't work for you, or the virus mutates, you die. I can't be flippant about this disease. I hope we find a full cure soon, because so many young in our community are picking up a loaded gun and playing with it when they practice unsafe sex. Sure, it's their choice, but so is playing russian roulette. It's a bad, bad choice to make.1 point

To continue my admittedly imperfect analogy from earlier, if a runaway slave had returned and, instead of being beaten within an inch of his life, he was merely returned to the fields with a slap on the wrist, do you think he should have thanked his lucky stars and continued working till the day he died? This is not a straightforward case of right against wrong and Swartz did have mental health issues to contend with, and the federal prosecutor was no doubt a good son and took in many rescue animals, but the fact remains that fighting an unjust law is often no longer a case of standing in front of a judge and making a truthful and effective argument. As a result of Swartz's tragic action, this law and, hopefully, others like it may now get the public scrutiny it should have had before it was put on the books. Or it may not. The media and the public may decide the story has no legs, and continue to allow knowledge that should be in the public domain to remain locked behind firewalls, available only to folks with the cash to get at it. This is not the first time someone has sacrificed his or her life for a principle, or because of plain old exhaustion and, sadly, I expect it won't be the last.1 point
