Isn’t it against the law to have a 17 year old girl friend when you are 21?

DUI dispositions
I remain baffled as to why the PPD won’t put DUI dispositions up on their website? It would be a tremendous public service. We get to see who the drug dealers and buyers are; the pimps and the hoes; why not the drunk drivers who can potentially kill people when they get behind the wheel? Do you think it's a black/white thing?

I’m not Republican – but I concur wholeheartedly with the Peoria County Bar Association on this one -I like Thiemann. What does the Journal Star know any way, right?

Ugghhhh!!!! I am so sick of this conversation. Enough all the damn ready! How much more of this NONSENSE must one group of people be subjected to? I guess since the President of the United States is a true African American we all need to rethink what that means? Whatever.
Rethinking ‘African-American’
Today’s idea: American-born blacks shouldn’t call themselves “African-American” because now there are many more people in the United States who were actually born in Africa, a black linguist and commentator says.

No.
However, it IS illegal to have sex with her.
I understood the original intent of African-American. I admit I still use "black" more often. First of all, I did ask my students their preference because I was willing to do whichever. Also, "black" is shorter so always seemed easier. However, I do agree that there are now a significant number of Americans who were born in Africa, so the term doesn't seem to fit American born blacks. I can understand the hyphenated names (German-American, etc.) for organizations trying to preserve some sort of heritage and/or culture, but I see no reason for it for individuals--I prefer that we are all Americans.
Peoria Guy: Today in the pjstar there is a little more info about this incident. http://www.pjstar.com/featured_content/x1685421943/Luciano-Attack-takes-crime-to-a-scary-new-low
Unfortunately the 21 year old man and 17 year old young woman were carjacked. Scary story.
Hello.
I'm not finding too much info on Tuesday's school board election, just meaningless one sentence soundbites in local media, stuff like "I have a plan" and "I'm not a finger pointer. I'm just focused on solutions." and Gary Stella'a editorial endorsing Lickiss. Can you point me to any meaningful info or offer any input?
Otherwise I'll probably just go for Lickiss and cross my fingers.
Thanks.
