Even Though It Wasn’t a Slave State For Long January 8, 2008

AP:
New Jersey became the first Northern state to apologize for slavery, as legislators approved a resolution Monday expressing “profound regret” for the state’s role in the practice.
The Assembly and the Senate 29-2 both voted overwhelmingly to approve the resolution, which expresses the Legislature’s opinion without requiring action by the governor.
Oh, like Jon Corzine would have vetoed it.
The resolution offers an apology “for the wrongs inflicted by slavery and its aftereffects in the United States of America.”
It states that in New Jersey, “the vestiges of slavery are ever before African-American citizens, from the overt racism of hate groups to the subtle racism encountered when requesting health care, transacting business, buying a home, seeking quality public education and college admission, and enduring pretextual traffic stops and other indignities.”
“Overt racism of hate groups.” Read: Morris Dees propaganda. Otherwise, all these other imagined slights are just that, and any apparent racial differences can be explained through common sense.
“Buying a home?” What do you think the subprime mortgage crisis is but the economic blowback from affirmative action in mortgage lending?
“Seeking quality public education and college admission.” It’s certainly not for a lack of money or affirmative action in making admissions decisions, and such affirmative action is continuing even with official prohibitions against AA in place.
“Enduring pretexutal traffic stops.” Maybe the motorist did something wrong or is driving a car that is wanted for some reason.
I have wondered for a long time why Hawaii had to become a state, when all of America’s other Pacific Ocean posessions aren’t. Now I think New Jerksey, the Garbage State, was a mistake.
Domino’s Pizza Better Be Careful What It Wishes For January 8, 2008

Hey this might be a stretch but hang with me on this.
If Dominos says they train their crew to “safely”(whatever that means) go through a robbery are they liable for lawsuit if the crew member is injured or killed in the robbery?? I worked at a Pizza Hut when I was 18 and had to watch a video that was about getting robbed and doubt they are too dissimilar. I was told to turn my pocket inside out and not resist.
Now lets say i get robbed and follow their directions. I turn out my pockets and don’t resist but am still beaten badly enough to go to the ER or shot and killed even. Would my boss be liable because they told me if I did that, I wouldn’t be hurt, but was? Could I sue because i was explicitly told by management if I don’t resist I wont get hurt? Could I claim I had my right to defend myself taken away from me? Lots of concern here.
This is in response to the news that came out of St. Louis that Domino’s Bugs-On-Crust does not allow its delivery drivers to carry guns.
