Mother Jones - Comments for "Susan Rice to the UN: A Positive Sign for UN-US Relations"

The average office shredder does nothing to alter the computers where the vast majority of those paper documents originated.

Living in Florida there was an urgent need of shredder in the office so I called up the saleman who told me there was No sales tax on purchases delivered out of California! 10 year warranty on cutting heads & 1 year warranty on mechanical parts (parts only)!

The saleman told me from whom I bought the shredder. All office shredders roll on casters for convenient sharing among offices. Every shredder model has a 10-year warranty on cutting heads and can take staples and paper clips which saves office stationary too.

Working and maintaining security throughout the office. I Placed shredder next to the copier or printer, these shredder models will stop information leak before it starts.

Being in an evironmental friendly company. Working protection against the dangerous plague of identity theft is a paper shredder. A paper shredder will help us in disposing of sensitive documents that are no longer needed.

Working for government department where each and every word is confidential. Knowing that your shredded documents cannot be reassembled and that your confidential information is safe is worth every cent of the cost of a paper shredder

I think she will be a vice president some day. The first black second-in-command.

I suspect this is a sign that Obama will be involved in (or his administration will be a full partner in) worldwide efforts to bring stability to places like Darfur and Somalia.

Just great...
More foreign military interventionism. Just what we need. Just what our economy can so well afford. [/sarcasm]

Didn't we already have a president who was involved in (his administration a 'full partner' in..) Somalia?
Can anyone at Mother Jones remember how that turned out?

That's great news.

I couldn't agree less.

That whole foreign interventionist mentality exhibited by egotistical America is why we're now held in such [sarcasm] High Regard [/sarcasm] by the common folk of the third world.

It's wrong when NeoCon Republicans do it, and it's just as wrong when Lefty Democrats do it, no matter how 'high-minded' and 'righteous' either bunch makes their public motivations sound.

Furthermore, as Michael Shank of Truthout.org reports:
At long last, the fragile state of Somalia seems to be slowly resurfacing from a searing bout of violence and humanitarian crisis. Interestingly, the light at the end of this decades-long tunnel is not burning at the behest of the United States or the United Nations; rather, it burns because Somali leaders, both within the government and without, have banded together. Frustrated by failed foreign interventions, they are now seeking sustainable Somali-based solutions.

There's little doubt that international interventions have actually prolonged Somalia's agony.
LEARN from history! Particularly Very RECENT History!
STOP promoting the same stupid mistakes 'The Other Party' made, assuming that 'Our Party' can Do It Right!

Am I the only person to find it ironic that someone named Lilly White seeks out hidden racism in advertising?

Lilly - Way to stay on topic. I'm going out to switch to AT+T today!!!

Get over it.

I'm really, really, really upset at their latest ad in the bunch of advertisements, about "more bars in more places". The series has shown people in ridiculous situations, which are by no means life threatening. Though I would argue that the jail one is a bad situation to be in, its not exactly life threatening. The latest one however, which happens to be the first one to feature a "latino/hispanic" person in their campaign shows a guy named Ted or Pat "Sanchez," and he's about to be blast off in a building demolition. I find this completely diminishing of life of those who could identify with this man in image!! and therefore extremely racist. In comparison to the rest of the ads in where people miss out on life's opportunities the "latino guy" is placed in a serious situation where he is about to be killed in a violent manner. I don't know who did this ad, but it only goes to show how the advertising industry is responsible for the perpetuation of racist ideas. Where people of color are shown only to be ridiculed, or in this case obliterated!!! I'm going to have to leave AT%T because I cannot support a business which is racist in such a way!!! And I will post this message wherever AT&T's name is--until the ad is removed from the air and the company offers an apology to all its Latino clients!!
