Coffee Break #62 Officially Summer

Still not finalized until the 4th.
(lol!)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence

Yes. But we DECLARED on the 2nd. And the document was not even signed until August 2nd, and many signed afterwards (wanted to see which way the war went!) And no 'robo-pens' back then!

Always found it astounding that Adams and Jefferson both dies exactly 50 years later! You could not script it any better. Sort of like the freak tornado that scared the crap out of the British an the end of the 1812 war.

Yes, but the Declaration of Independence was dated July 4, so it's still celebrated on July 4th.

- probably a lot of people died exactly 50 years after 07/04/1776, not sure how many..

But 'a lot of people' had nothing to do with forming the country.

'We The People', the country is the people.

Now you're being a nudge! ^_^

LOL!! - Just bothering you bro! ☺!

Out of both of those documents, (The Declaration & The Constitution), I think the Constitution impresses me more. Humbling and impressive what the original writers had in mind for the future, but now it seems we elect someone to represent us and they go off on their own agenda the second they get in office. - not that we're offered any good choices anymore... Somewhere along the line big business and lobbyists started pulling the strings and we didn't know about it until it was a done deal. The ideals are still there, but the reality seems quite different.

Yes, on all counts.

NYC blimp race about to start. Kind of like a sumo sprint.

Polish terrorists jump to mind. ^_^

Even John Adams agreed to celebrate on the 4th although his original celebration remarks referred to the 2nd. So the 4th it is.

Wouldn't the Founders be disappointed and frustrated at how our elected reps "do the business of our country" if they were here now?!

They'd be too old to care!

UNBELIEVABLE CASEY Anthony NOT guilty.
With that krappy lawyer to boot.
The Sate looks like morons,31 days of evidence that was convincing and the jury couldnt convict.

Hard to believe. Another travesty.

What a relief! Yippee!

She'll hook up with OJ and they can work as a team to find the real killers. First spot to check - discos and golf courses.

my wife watched this trial all weekend long and now she is mad about the acquital :)

So much for the difference between the law and justice.
OJ did manage to go to jail.We will never know what background events brought him to what he deserves.
Casey is a classic sociopath. They dont have conciences so dont expect to see her in agony and mental hell no matter where she ends up.
Her parents are real victims.

It's wonderful, now she can write a book, do interviews, sell movie rights and keep all the money to herself!
Yay!!

No, the little girl is the real victim.

OJ did not go to jail for those crimes, but for robbery.

Poor little girl, horrible accident. Those swimming pools are very dangerous, too many children die accidentally in those pools all the time, especially in the summer.

Digital detox!

I'm not surprised C. Anthony was acquitted of 1st degree murder...the state's evidence left doors open....but I felt sure they would convict her of manslaughter....Caylee was such a beautiful little girl....we can only hope there will be justice in the end.....

Yes, I thought at least manslaughter.

We're not the jury, we didn't see or hear all the evidence. The only opinion that counts is the opinion of the 12 juror's since there is no hard evidence and the state failed to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. Were supposed to have evolved from a lynch mob mentality.

Her little girl was missing for 31 days. She said that the daughter was with Zanny the Nanny. I never had kids and I will tell you what - If my daughter was missing for 5 minutes I would go choke that Zanny the Nanny till she told me where she was. My DOG cant be miising for 5 minutes let alone a child. Now no one will ever know.

Now I go back to politics both Sad Sad Sad

i agree with WC

Yes - it could be just coincidence that someone on the home computer looked up chloroform. Everyone does. I do it regularly. And I often have the odor of decaying flesh in my trunk. Everyone does. And most parents of missing children go out partying and have new tattoos done. Wouldn't you? OJ agrees.

did not know you where in the jury room

And if it walks like a duck, quacks like duck, looks like a duck and smells like a duck, I suppose it COULD be a dinosaur.

Those are all established facts.

looks like a duck to me

10 hours is not a long time to review - something was up that we do not know about

Like the OJ case??

Juries get it wrong sometimes too.

i thought she was guilty too - again something here the public and media could have missed

Gulty or not...the Mom in me wanted to flog the living poo out of her just for the way she acted when he child was "missing". WHO DOES THAT????
