“LL,

Was a teen back then listening to the Murph and music on Q101 (wait, I’m still listening)”

Yes I did as well while growing up in Chicago and was an avid WLS listener, but just to be clear, I am a LL admirer but I am NOT the LL radio host.

My screen name is just a homage to those youthful memories.

“The race thing will backfire which will be a good thing for Blacks because they will be free to support the party who has their best interests at heart which now is the Republican Party.”

What caught my attention about this statement was that “Blacks…will be free to support…the Republican party.”

I think not all folks in the US of Amnesia forget, particularly African Americans. LBJ and Robert Kennedy following Brown vs Board of Education advanced civil rights legislation while the Republicans and southern Dems dug their heals and resisted it. Yes, I do remember George Wallace too. And the successful southern strategy Nixon employed, too.

I remember the Vietnam War era as well and how peculiar it was that I would observe my uncle diving in the bushes when the 4th of July fireworks went off (He died of bladder cancer at 40, leaving two children 5 and 2, my dear cousins, perhaps dioxin in the agent orange used as a defoliant, but I digress, after all I would never doubt that the US government is looking out for us or would do anything to harm its own soldiers).

Bottom line is that because of LBJ and Kennedy African Americans vote Democrat by huge margins and will continue doing so. Please consider reading a history book to understand that your fantasy of republicans having african american’s best interest at heart is laughable.

McCain = More of the same
Neocon Bush/Cheney foreign policy. If your in favor of continued neocon foreign policy, well, McCain’s your man.
Personally, I like the majority of other Americans have had enough of the wasted lives and squandered billions in Iraq.
Consequently, to consider a short tempered war lover as commander in chief that promises to give us more of the same, particularly in view of what an abject failure neocon foreign policy has been for the past 8 years, is sheer folly.

. Unless you want to buckle down and get an engineering or science degree before heading off to law school, don’t expect to make a lot of money right away. Still, it might be a good option but you will have a lot of competition…

I agree with the above since I am in the business. You don’t need to go to Harvard or Stanford for your JD to get a position with a good firm if you have a Biotech PhD or an egineering MS or BS. On the other hand, if you don’t have a technical degree, you do need to do well at a top tier law school or forget getting an associate position at a top firm, that’s just the plain facts- JDs who graduate from average law schools or do average in law school with econ or polisci majors are a dime a dozen.
However, the nice thing about being an attorney is that what you have learned can be used for many other professions, such as running a business, etc. You will find that a JD will expand your professional options tremendously. You will also use what you learned in law school in everyday life, for example, dealing with contracts. Thus, I really don’t think you can go wrong with a JD because it will provide you with skills you can use for the practice of law, as well as outside the traditional practice of law and in everyday life. I am glad I did.
Good luck,
LL
