All 8 grew up to be good parents and good people . She was the best

I' m glad I had that " dangerous creature" in my life

Thanks Mom :)

Folks, Serena was penalized for her actions.
So, how about just letting this one go.

When I put minority, I meant woman. Serena said it's different rules for men. I don't watch tennis so I don't know if it's true. I think people need to stop using minority statues as an excuse for bad behavior.

I also thought Hillary looked stupid when she acted like she was afraid of Trump during the debates. She was clearly using the "woman" card. It takes away from real discrimination.

Politically speaking, "liberalism" is rooted in the word "liberty". Reading up on political philosophy from the past several hundred years makes this very apparent. However, most of the masses have not studied philosophy. They take a more mainstream and less educated approach to the definition of liberalism.

True political liberalism means preserving the rights of the individual. One person's rights end where another person's rights begin. Crossing that boundary means sacrificing freedoms to those willing to bully others into submission. Failing to punish such transgressions equals state-sponsorship, furthering undermining and eroding personal liberties and, hence, freedom.

By comparison, political conservatism is more difficult to define. Being conservative is often equated to maintaining the status quo. But what if the status quo is fairly liberal to begin with? Then the line between liberalism and conservatism becomes blurred. But the truth is that political conservatism is really about minimalism. It takes a different approach to ensuring personal liberty.

For instance, consider a laissez faire economy. It's often embraced by conservatives. And yet, it's actually a concept borne of liberalism. It insists on minimalizing government interference in the free market. By contrast, liberalism insists on regulations to prevent individuals from fraud or unscrupulous business tactics. In other words, conservative believe the best way to protect personal liberty is to avoid government interference while liberals believe the best way to accomplish the same task is use regulation to prevent and punish abuses against individuals. This is what has given rise to our modern definitions of conservatism and liberalism -- not social programs or so-called "handouts".

In fact, handouts originated with a third school of thought: progressivism.

Often considered a conservative today, Teddy Roosevelt was actually a progressive. FDR, his cousin, idolized Teddy, emulating much of ideas. And yet, FDR is considered the epitome of liberalism. But Lenin and Hitler were also progressives, as difficult as it may be to believe. The differences lay in how they chose to approach progressivism. Socialism and Social Democracy were just two different branches of the progressivist movement at the start of the 20th century.

To label liberalism as the mother of government handouts is to be incorrect. Liberalism simply absorbed elements of Social Democracy in order broaden support among the masses. By doing so, it began representing the poor and the underprivileged against those with wealth and influence -- a concept taken from Marxism and Progressivism. Social Democracy was a very popular movement around the turn of the century. It is part of what began destabilizing Europe as Imperialism began to crack around the edges.

I don't watch tennis. I've saw more about problems with child birth and missing her babies 1st steps. Why that's on the news, I have no idea. She definitely didn't look graceful on the news. But I'm guessing she will lose a lot of sponser money if she continues to lose. I guess that would have most people upset.

Wow. This morning when my alarm went off at 3:30am, I watched about 3 minutes of news. I was surprised to see CNN not talking about Trump. I agree Serena is getting too much attention. We will see if the woman who beat her gets the same.

beware the MOCKINGBIRD song has mesmerized so many into believing they know the truth..

Hiya Argo

this

she only talked to one white person, the head umpire..it was never about race, so you are probably wrong here...
