Back from my little vacation and I see lots of new info pertaining to the Gates incident. The latest and greatest being Dan Riehl and Joseph Culligan of Web of Deception digging into the charity Gates started and runs. Apparently the guy has taken in over 200 grand in donations and has banked the majority of it. The money he has given out has been to his buddies at Harvard. The Boston Globe wrote this about the charity:
Public records indicate that the charity, domiciled in Gates’s Cambridge home, has been dormant since its inception. Jill Butterworth, a spokeswoman for the state Attorney General’s Office, says Inkwell has never filed the required, annual form PC, for public charities. “They are currently not in compliance,” Butterworth said. “It’s possible they are inactive or have dissolved. We are checking into it.” Gates declined to comment.
Kinda sad for a charity started (PDF) to “promote programs that educate the general public and encourage academic interest regarding African and African-American literature, art, history, and culture” eh?
Dan ponders whether this is the reason for Gates acting liking an ass to the arresting officer and refusing entry into the house. I doubt it myself….it appears to be as Patterico says in this post. Reverse racism:
Racism is simply a form of stereotyping. Stereotyping occurs when one says: because of my past experiences with people from your group, as well as things I have heard about people from your group, I am forming a firm opinion about you.
Racism is simply one form of that attitude, in which “people from your group” means “black people.”
Oddly, however, many black people feel perfectly comfortable engaging in a similar form of stereotyping, in which “people from your group” means “police officers” or “white people” — or, best of all, “white police officers.” Apparently, stereotyping those groups is a laudable pursuit.
The Henry Louis Gates arrest is yet another reminder of how quick some black people are to leap to unflattering conclusions about others based on scant evidence. Mickey Kaus reads Gates’s account of his arrest, and makes this observation:
Just reading this passage–Gates’ own words–it seems to me he pops into litigious mode a little quickly. He says he wanted to file a complaint “because of the way he treated me at the front door.” How had he mistreated him at the front door? He asked him ‘Would you step outside onto the porch?’ (where, as Gates notes, the cop would have more rights). When Gates refuses and instead gives the cop an ID, the cop looks at the ID. And at that point Gates has already determined he’s been treated unfairly. He’s already refusing to answer questions and planning to file a complaint. Again, from his own words it looks like he rushes a bit to the conclusion that a white man in a similar situation would have been treated differently. Is that really true?
Is it really true? Gates has no basis to say. All he has is a collection of prejudices about the group to which the officer belonged: white police officers. And based on that collection of prejudices, Gates leapt to a conclusion — this police officer is a racist. The evidence is strong that the conclusion was wrong: the officer teaches classes in avoiding racial profiling and was responding to a legitimate report from a citizen. Gates should have realized that his own actions in forcing entry to the house had aroused legitimate suspicions. But Gates didn’t employ common sense, or make an effort to learn something about the man in front of him. He simply stereotyped him.
And in apologizing for Gates, black firebrands and white liberals patronizingly excuse techniques of stereotyping that they would condemn in a racist.
Roger Simon views the defense of Gates by the black racists and the other bleeding heart liberals as nostalgia for the good times of the past when they could whine and cry about the injustice of it all:
We all grew up with the received wisdom, with the donnée, if you will, that the U.S. was a racist country. And it was:
So were most countries. In fact, you might say all were racist. Despite the cliché wallowed in by our self-critics, racism is a global human phenomenon, not even remotely exclusively American.
In fact the United States, of all places I have visited, has done the most to obliterate its racism in a concerted manner. Perhaps it is because we are such a melting pot and have little choice that we have made a great effort. And of course there is the more than justifiable guilt over slavery. So we tried hard. And we’ve done a remarkably good job, considering that deep in the human psyche is distrust of the other. Most of us prefer to live in a comfort zone of our own people, our own ethnic, religious and racial groups. But we know that’s not cool and have, in our culture, worked very hard to combat that. Most of us have, anyway. And we have reached a point, I would say as long as twenty years ago or maybe more, when to be a racist or to exhibit racist tendencies was despised. To put it succinctly, to be a racist was to be a jerk.
But when the rules change, when values change, not everyone can adjust with it — not only the racist, but also those who depended on being victims of racism. For all his brilliance, Henry Lewis Gates is evidently such a man. Otherwise, why cry out about being victimized as a “black man in America” before there is any evidence that that is the case?
This is nostalgia for racism and our president probably suffers from it as well, although perhaps to a lesser degree, considering he clearly plunged into the fray without thinking. The problem is that this nostalgia not only blames people unfairly, it also increases the very thing it pretends to oppose — racism itself. The unfair or inaccurate imputation of racism promotes racism.
The funny thing is that this crowd of racists and liberals, including our President, have hung their hat on an incident they will lose. Crowley had every right to be at that house investigating a break-in. A call comes in saying some black guys are breaking into a house next door and when he arrives Crowley saw a black man in the house. I mean, come on….that was more then enough reasonable suspicion to detain the man. He didn’t even need to ask for permission to enter the property, a warrantless entry was fully justified.
And any reasonable person, after forcing their way into a house, wouldn’t be surprised that neighbors may have called in a burglary call. Any reasonable person would of cooperated with the police knowing the possibility existed. Hell, any reasonable person would of appreciated the fact that someone was looking out for their house.
But not Gates. He saw eeeeeeviiiiilllll from the git-go. And now he’s talking to lawyers about a lawsuit.
Shocking.
Oh, and I love Tom Maguire’s question here:
So – do feminists and domestic violence experts agree that if the man of the house shouts at the cops that everything is cool so get out, the cops should simply leave?
More here.
UPDATE
Yes, I know there is no such thing as reverse racism….but in making a point about the fact that blacks who have a long history of yelling racism about whites I think its a valid way to describe the reverse, at least to make a point. Maybe not the best descriptor but oh well.
See author page
Obama and the Media need to ride with police officers on the night shift sometime and see what the police have to put up with.
I;ve been one for 35 years and when you are alone on a burglary call the hair still goes up on the back of my neck when arriving on the scene.
Tell me about it Tom. I have to tell ya, the guy would have been detained and out of that house within the first seconds of contact and the house swept for safety but Crowley didn’t even do that. Not sure if its because it’s a “Harvard” area but come on.
The possibility:
It looks like some are taking it out on Gates’ neighbor for being racist:
@Wordsmith: Great, another reason for people to say “I’m not getting involved….why go through the hassle”
Word, that is a dispicible article. Attack the person who dared to report them. Why SHE must be a racist too! The goal is to silence/punish her. Writers like that have no idea how racist they are. I’ve had liberals tell me to my face that minorities can’t be racist since they have no power and racism is about power. It reminded me of blasted’s attack on me in another thread.
Curt, I’d also like to point out the “flying Imams” tried this tactic when they attempted to sue the people who reported them. It’s not about racism or bigotry. It’s about using the race card to crush/intimidate possible reporters and gain more power for themselves.
Looks like Gates took lessons from Obama’s White House Chief on how to set up charities.
Liars , cheats and thieves the whole damned bunch. Another thing Obama better watch out who he is calling stupid, if it wasn’t for stupid people he wouldn’t be president
Daily Kos:
Yeah, imagine that: a white woman trying to help her black neighbor’s home from being robbed. What a bigot!
Anyone know exactly where her house is located in relation to Gates’ house?
From a distance, it’s possible all she could make out are the backs of two men fidgeting with a door. What could be immediate, noticeable, identifiable traits? Skin color. Gender. Clothing.
And leave it to race profiteer Al Sharpton to weigh in with his golden nuggets:
THis absolutely hits the mark: ” This is nostalgia for racism and our president probably suffers from it as well. “
Obama has been playing that race card his entire life.
And as for Gate’s “charity” I wonder if we will find it’s the same sort of shake down scheme which keeps Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and ACORN in clover?
These grievance mongers and race baiters are all the same. They’re like trained seals which learned that all they have to do is bark to have the trainer toss them a fish.
@Wordsmith: Al Sharpton knows a thing or two about racial profiling. It was his gang in New York that fanned the flames of the Twanna Brawley hoax where a white police officer was wrongfully accused of abucting and abusing Twanna who was actually just out having a good time with her boyfriend and didn’t want to catch hell from her mother for being a hoe.
I am a Black American in America and Gates, Obama, Sharpton and the other race-baiters do not speak for me. I’m 70 years old and I have met, seen and befriended all kinds of people. I don’t hate anyone and I don’t have a ‘we wuz slaves’ chip on my shoulder. I have had contact with both white and black police officers through traffic encounters and friendships. I don’t generalize about any group of people but I would hope that when your posters are expressing their amazement at the stupidity of Misters Gates and Obama that they don’t include me in whatever generalizations leap to their minds.
LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET OUT OF THE WAY. (Thomas Paine)
We have the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed world. Conservative estimates are that over 120,000 of you dies each year in America from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don’t die from. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies. This is what being 37th in quality of healthcare means.
I know that many of you are angry and frustrated that REPUBLICANS! In congress are dragging their feet and trying to block TRUE healthcare reform. What republicans want is just a taxpayer bailout of the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance industry, and the DISGRACEFUL GREED DRIVEN PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare industry. An insurance bailout is all you really get without a robust government-run public option available on day one.
These industries have been slaughtering you and your loved ones like cattle for decades for profit. Including members of congress and their families. These REPUBLICANS are FOOLS!
Republicans and their traitorous allies have been trying to make it look like it’s President Obama’s fault for the delays, and foot dragging. But I think you all know better than that. President Obama inherited one of the worst government catastrophes in American history from these REPUBLICANS! And President Obama has done a brilliant job of turning things around, and working his heart out for all of us.
But Republicans think you are just a bunch of stupid, idiot, cash cows with short memories. Just like they did under the Bush administration when they helped Bush and Cheney rape America and the rest of the World.
But you don’t have to put up with that. And this is what you can do. The Republicans below will be up for reelection on November 2, 2010. Just a little over 13 months from now. And many of you will be able to vote early. So pick some names and tell their voters that their representatives (by name) are obstructing TRUE healthcare reform. And are sellouts to the insurance and medical lobbyist.
Ask them to contact their representatives and tell them that they are going to work to throw them out of office on November 2, 2010, if not before by impeachment, or recall elections. Doing this will give you something more to do to make things better in America. And it will help you feel better too.
There are many resources on the internet that can help you find people to call and contact. For example, many social networking sites can be searched by state, city, or University. Be inventive and creative. I can think of many ways to do this. But be nice. These are your neighbors. And most will want to help.
I know there are a few democrats that have been trying to obstruct TRUE healthcare reform too. But the main problem is the Bush Republicans. Removing them is the best thing tactically to do. On the other hand. If you can easily replace a democrat obstructionist with a supportive democrat, DO IT!
You have been AMAZING!!! my people. Don’t loose heart. You knew it wasn’t going to be easy saving the World. 🙂
God Bless You

Let me be clear….
Wordsmith in no way, shape, or form, bears any relation to “jacksmith”. I am more related to David Adams.
David, you can be assured that those of us under 40 years of age will not do that because we are, by and large, not bigots. This is because we have been steeped in a curriculum and popular culture of disgust for prejudice and stereotyping our entire lives.
This is probably one reason why Gates’, Sharpton’s, and Jackson’s stereotyping of a white police officer who was investigating a suspected crime in progress so amazes us with its stupidity and is so offensive to us.
@jacksmith: Show me. Prove something other than that you can spew a bunch of numbers and drivel. Then tell me why it is my responsibility to provide health care to anyone besides myself and my family.
120,000? If that number meant anything at all, it would be less than .04% of the population. That many people probably die because they are too lazy or stubborn to go to a doctor. In fact, doctors kill more people than that out of negligence.
Friggin’ Elsworth Toohey himself has come to FA for a visit.
@jacksmith
you sound like a “seminar” blogger…drop in rhetoric that sounds more like a rant on an unrelated topic. But then that is what seminar bloggers do. Strangely — similarly worded rants (coincidence?) are all over the place…
If you were really educated on the topic, well-read, you would be aware that Democrats are fighting Democrats (at this point in time) on this legislation — problem seems to be what is being said publicly does not match what is in the proposed blank check bill — both the House and Senate Version. Shame on the press for not exposing…but really go ahead and pass the bill — you have the votes! (Maybe Al Franken can come out and reminisce about some medical tv show to make everyone all warm and fuzzy about this Democratic proposal)
However, why the fuss — iWon has enough votes to pass the bill without any Republicans?
So, save your seminar blogger time and ask Ms Pelosi, Mr Reid, Mr Emanuel, Mr Obama why don’t they just go ahead and vote on the blank-check health care bill? GO AHEAD….THERE ARE ENOUGH DEMOCRATIC VOTES IN BOTH HOUSES TO PASS THIS THING.
I would give links here to the Patients’ Choice Proposal (by Republicans Congressional Members), Dr Gray’s Patient First Proposal, Newt Gingrich proposal, Heritage’s Proposal…but you are too busy dropping in these talking points all over the net…
Hey, did I remember to say — GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE DEMS VOTE ON IT — What are you waiting for??? Looking for cover cause you know what is really in this “health reform” proposal?
Very well said. Obama said Republicans are holding the passage of bill up, what hog wash, the Democraps don’t need one single R. vote, utter rubbish.
Maybe Prof. Gates keeps his ‘spare cash’ in the same place as Congressman William ‘cold cash’ Jefferson and Gates got himself all bent out of shape when a cop showed up.
😉
.
WORDSMITH, would make for one of the worst neighbors imaginable! He either would not make the call or would be so obtuse when and if he did call that the cops wouldn’t come anyway. Years ago in Miami when I was a single airline pilot I asked my neighbor to watch my house while I was away on long flights. I got home a day early due to a reroute and climbed into my bed at about 11:30 pm. I have always been armed and had a pistol in my bedside table. I also had a combinatio lock on my front door that I had given to my neighbor just in case. All of a sudden my bedroom door flew open and two “White” guys in cutoff sweat shirts, beards and bandanas around their heads burst in weilding a Glock and a pump shotgun. Being half awake I started to roll towards my side table but was stopped by a loud “Cops, freeze now”! I did and realized that they both had their shields around their necks on chains. Needless to say I was pissed and terrified. I could have shot one of them or been killed by them. I got out of bed and apologised about being home early but it never crossed my mind to curse them or belittle their mothers. It turned out they were undercover cops who happened to be near by when the call went out and they offered to respond. Think about Gates in the same situation. And no, I didn’t accuse my neighbor of being anything but a good neighbor.
@jacksmith:
Hey Jack,
I really do hope that you will swing back by to try and back up some of the spatter that you left us with earlier.
Thirty seventh in health care?
Really? That’s laughable.
What standard was that ranking supposedly based on jack?
I’ll bet you don’t know.
As others have said here, the Republicans don’t have any power to stop this legislation.
The success, or failure, of getting this legislation written and passed by the two chambers of Congress and then to the desk of the president lies completely with the Dims.
Of course, you didn’t know that either did you jack?
The remainder of your breathless blather and spittle flecked spew isn’t even worthy of my time.
You claim that Obama is doing a “brilliant job of turning things around”.
I find that to be more than a bit amusing because, in actuality, the bastard son of a Kenyan bigamist and an underage Kansan hippie that currently lives in the White House has succeeded at nothing beyond running the US economy right to the edge of an unrecoverable state.
One final note. The quote that you attribute to Thomas Paine was never said or written by him.
I went through your whole post.
Turns out you don’t know jack.
One final note for jack in the box:
See the pretty red line?
See the pretty green line?
See how the red line is higher than the green line?
Yeah. That’s a problem for O-Bum-Looker.
Apparently Lucia Whalen isn’t a neighbor.
Check out other stuff at The Root. (Hat tip: Amy Proctor).
@Inspectorudy:
Christ…my reputation’s being mugged in broad daylight, and not a single FA soul rose to my defense while I was away?! What kind of clingin’ to guns ‘n religion community is this?!!!!! I smell racism!!
This is an odd comparison. For a start the implication is that the ‘man of the house’ shouts at the cops that everything is cool AFTER responsing to a domestic violence call then there is the possibility that the man may have attacked the wife/girlfriend – so the cops would need to check with the spouse and decide whether the man posed a physical threat to her. Whereas I deplore Gates actions throughout – he was not a physical threat to his wife. Was she even there? Gates was agitated by the cops presence after they responded to a legit concern that he house might be in the process of being burgled. Once they worked out that it was his house – then there was no need for them to arrest Gates – beyond the fact he must of pissed them off with his yelling – which would of stopped as soon as they had gone.
@Wordsmith:
You are aware that “The Root” is owned and operated by Gates right?
It was also quite interesting to discover that he won’t hire anyone except blacks to work there.
I wonder if a white guy could get away with that.
No, that’s not racism.
That’s Gaffa’s feet. 🙂
I read Inspectorrudy’s comment and was trying to figure out how we would think that you would make a bad neighbor but I had no luck in connecting those dots.
Perhaps Clouseau will stop by to clarify his remark.
@Wordsmith:
You want me to get him with my grandma paddle? It’s a ping pong paddle with a plump ruffled cushion on one side, doesn’t leave any tell tale marks.
Missy can be in my neighborhood watch program, anytime.
Oh, yeah.
Maybe I confused him earlier with the links to Daily Kos and Black on Campus? I did warn about not thinking jacksmith and I were related, right?
@Aye Chihuahua: I forgot to check the index today. Thanks. I’ll have to updat the graphic which runs above all my comment pages at the home planet.
I wondered why all my moonbats have been rather quiet this week!
Maybe they just miss Wordsmith’s feedings.
Jacksmith obviously doesn’t know jack.
I would like to see an open investigation into the little race baiter Gates. He
worksat the university. Probably clears $ 200,000 + has speaking engagements. Heard he has a summer place in Martha’s Vineyard. Check out those “charities”. Not bad for someone who is discriminated against. I should be so lucky.Yup.
I am hearing that Mr. Gates is a highly educated man. I sure hope they release all of the radio traffic, not just the 911 call, so that we can hear for ourselves just how intelligent this man is.
More profiling here-Chicago Police dog Bear accused of racial profiling at, http://stopthepresses2.blogspot.com/search/label/Racial%20Profiling
jackspittle, you are an ignorant punk and need to shop elsewhere for a pat on the head. I can give you a virtual size nine boot to your ass though. Take two, because I am in a generous mood. I was out all night and most of today repairing a well pump out in the back 1680, a deep one in summer pasture.
On Gates, he is an arrogant self appointed spokesman for a minority that was never as ill treated as my ancestors that were driven from their land and holy lands by rifle, saber and artillery and they were Native Americans, born here lived free and signed over 140 Treaties that were broken, every f_cking one of them. Gates has profitted from the color of his skin. My ancestors were murdered and survivors werre placed on the worst of places and are still there in living conditions that are atrocious at best.
My Grand Dad, a Sioux, attended Carlysle and got an education, served as a ranch hand and bought land in Montana and gained respect from breaking horses and cowboying better than his peers. No Affirmative Action, just initiative, talent and tough determination and conservative values. My Dad was ranch raised and served 30 years in the Army, jumped into Normandy in France on D-Day and was OCS Commissioned and retired as a Colonel. I served 28 years and have three Wars under my belt and when intervieved for my first Security Clearance some stupid bastard with my file called me Chief. I told him “We are Done Here” and walked out. My clearance was granted. My performance made my career, not any racial quota. I retired as a Colonel and refused promotion to be a quota Star Officer. I am not the poster child for anyone.
Wordsmith, I can come to your defense but my neighbors are different than yours. Ranchers, living miles apart are deserving of action in their favor. I will drive 40 miles to come to their aid.
I am American, All American and do not differentiate. Professional Black Victims are despicable and disgusting. Gates can kiss my All American ass and the Kenyan Pretender can too.
The Kenyan has yet to visit an Indian Reservation. The Indian Health Services are underfunded and children there have gone without Vaccinations for decades. So get in my face on Health Care issues and get my size 9 boot to the head or your ass at my choice.
I contribute 10% of my profits on the ranch to Indian Charities run by Religious groups that live there and know the needs and meet them. So all you lomg suffering Ghetto Punks that were never Slaves need to STFU, All You race Baiters need to STFU. Obama Care? Hell, the IHA is Government administered and is horseshit. Off the soapbox now.
Gaffa, a tune for you. You know about Socialized Medicine.
Ms. Becky McCall, an old classmate of mine, 58 years young and lives 26 miles down the road is coming for dinner with her 82 year old Dad for dinner. He was a Normandy Glider Pilot and a pal of my deceased Dad. I will have steaks on the grill, old scotch on hand and cigars for the old guy. He flew on D-Day, Market Garden and has three purple hearts, two bronze stars and three air medals.
Gates has a charity that needs investigating, an attitude that needs adjusting and the value of an Ivy League Education is trash in my opinion. I was a Professional Soldier, Obama and Gates are Professional Race Baiters and Crooks.
Have a great weekend!
30 Old Trooper, well said.
I made this post on another thread but it is relevant here so pardon the repetition. I concur with the post above that Jacksmith doesn’t know jack. 37th?? The US has the highest survival rates of cancer, diabeties, heart issues. Our breast cancer and prostate cancer survival rates exceed all European countries. I haven’t noticed a flock of Americans taking off for Europe or elsewhere for their medical treatments (except for the quacks in Mexico) but there is a string of hundreds or thousands of clinics along the Canadian border where Canadians are the patients.
Anyway, enough of that, here is the post:
I think we will look back on this Gates episode as the pivot point in the defeat of what is now called Obamacare. It will serve to separate the far left democrats to whom the police are symbolic of the oppressive state from the moderate democrats who enjoy peace, quiet and safety in their neighborhoods. It will alert the independents once again to the mistake they made as they voted for change. It will solidify the Republicans and conservatives who do believe in law and order. Finally, it will give the conservative Democrats the cover they need to vote as their constituents want – against the monstrosity. Here, an ostensibly unrelated incident exposed even more the arrogance of the President and the extent that he is willing to overreach to achieve whatever is the objective de jour. The best indication of this change is the exuberance of the stock market that emerged as it became clearer that Obama was not going to ram his health care monstrosity down our throats. Funny how things work. He is getting tripped up on his attitude which, in turn, raises serious questions about his substance.
Disturber
Buffalobob, thanks.
Is Lone Star still in the brewing business?
Just asking.
Obviously jacksmith doesn’t know jackshit. And……
It was General George S. Patton that uttered the phrase:
“Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way”.
One of the few times that the General didn’t use a profanity to get his point across…..
@ Curt
Yup, that’s exactly right. Who in their right mind will now call the cops to check on a possible break in. And why would the cops even respond? It’s probably just some guy trying to get in their house. Who wants to be accused of racism when you can just go back to watching TV?
@Disturber
Writing that is fact based, relevant, author attributed, etc., regardless of viewpoint, is worthy of repetitive posting into any and all blog communities…
I critiqued Jacks—‘s “seminar blogger” post because it smacked of Dim talking points sent out
over the past four days and are being cut and pasted (in between the emotion-laid rants).
Within the last four days…I have received the following external communication — and therefore noticed same text/ word phrases lifted/infused into Jacks—‘s text/rants.
…I got a “update-on-Dims-making-health-care-reform-for-all” letter from my Dim
Congressman (one of Pelosi’s minions), extolling the virtues of this reform and
how good it will be for all Americans (can’t wait to attend one of his townhalls in Aug)
…Same phrases/text were in a Carville email that just went out —
…Echoed by Pelosi’s 2 emails this weekend
…and one from Axelrod yesterday…..
…and NOW similarly worded rants are appearing at various blog sites (and at usual leftwing
sights in frenetic repetition)
…All Dim communication ended urging all readers to get “the word” out….so I knew what
would be coming to try and persuade all of us — the Republicans are to blame for
everything.
…Unfortunately, Pelosi,et al, forgot to explain to their minions what a super majority means
plus having a Dim POTUS — ready to sign at some cleverly staged press-conference
setting — wonder if his handlers are planning a new grey-hair pattern for the event.
(Ever notice how the gray pattern changes — one of the first looked like FDR’s early
stages and the hair pattern on Wednesday looked very similar to Woodrow
Wilson’s gray hair appearance as shown in one portrait)
So, Jacks—, by all means tell your friends to go ahead and vote with the Dim super majorities — what are they waiting for??
@Old Trooper
lol – What’s Sea of Heartbreak gotta do with Socialized medicine?
SEA OF HEARTBREAK – LYRICS
The lights in the harbor don’t shine for me
I’m like a lost ship adrift on the sea
[chorus:] SEA OF HEARTBREAK lost love and loneliness
mem’ries of your caress so divine, how I wish
you were mine again my dear; I’m on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
Oh how did I lose you oh where did I fail
Why did you leave me always to sail
[bridge:] Oh what I’d give just to sail back to shore
back to your arms once more
Oh come to my rescue oh come here to me
Take me and keep me away from the sea
???
Howabout this for the song for the 46 million Americans who don’t have medical insurance?;)
btw. I noticed Mike didn’t tell you off for doing a tangent
Also up are home invasion robberies, whereby the perpetrators force open your doors. The police had no way of knowing what was going on. I’d say that Gates came out of it much luckier than he realizes. Had the police treated it as a possible home invasion, they would not have treated him so easily.
