some are happy with the sentencing others claim that they are apathetic about the sentencing. they are focused on an unjust verdict. at the sentence came down, the 25-year-old flashed a smile. >> they came to that conclusion. that is said. >> she should be free right away. i think she was innocent. >> she has been in jail since october of 2008. she will officially be released in six days, it results that is just as shocking as the verdict. >> i think she got off too lightly. >> nippon mr. by putting her -- a punish tour. >> some say she should pay much more than the $4,000 fine. four leading police down several rabbit holes. >> do you think about all the time that went into this trial. it has to be the maximum. >> we can not have anything more than that. we cannot try her again unfortunately. >> the jury convicted her on faulty claiming her daughter disappeared. she had a babysitter and did not. and that she spoke to her by phone. >> one restaurant owner in clear water has made it clear what he thinks about the verdict. he does not want any jury members to step foot in his pla

i tend to be apathetic towards it so we've arrived at a point where people no longer even consider themselves part of the decision making process i can't blame them they are not only not steering the car here they realize they don't have the will and they're kind of indifferent about it it seems tempting to pull back from the political world to allow they the powers that be in washington to do that certain things that they tell everyone are necessary to keep us afloat but after two thousand a visit is anyone really really want to say that they have the best of intentions for the rest of us. i don't even know what's going on the congress right now you just congress. not much care with. really don't. want to there how we can be in debt they make money having. this man clearly knows not to trust government but still is politically not engaged the greatest burden that we face as a people are apathy and ignorance to the issues that really affect us whether we know them or not and in two thousand and nine when we forty point zero nine percent of the voting population turned out to the polls of thos

. >> you are an apathetic atheist. >> i don't happens when you're done and i don't care. >> you werey an irish catholic and you became jewish, is that right? >> no, that's not right at all. >> piers: is it bordering on any form of accuracy? >> no. my mother was jewish. my father was catholic. like many mixed marriages, especially of that era, they picked one. it was catholic, and i was raised catholic. >> piers: then what happened? >> i was never jewish. i never set foot in a testimony many. >> piers: you are still a catholic? >> of course not. what is on this. i'm bill maher. nice to meet you. hopefully, one of america's most famous atheists. >> piers: you're not an atheist, you're an apatheist. i'm okay with us not splitting the difference on those. if you're just not a super religious person, for me, you are on my team. it's hard to say. even richard dawkins says if we put it on a scale of 1 to 7, 1 being absolutely certain there is a god and 7 being absolutely certain there is no god, even i'm a 6.9 because we don't know. >> piers: where are you? >> 6.9. >> piers: a tiny fragment

so i guess we can say that we will begin to talk about something, with a rather apathetic response from the majority leader. i am not happy about that and i would note that the republican house produced a budget that is honest and dealt with systemic problems we face. the democratic senate has said that they have one. they say that they have a budget, but i would like to see it. would not the american people like to see it? bacon passes under the budget procedure with a simple it rity-- they c aan pass under the budget procedure with a simple majority. this is something they can do. the remarkable thing is that they are not willing to lay out the kind of numbers that it takes to change. $3 billion on the airplane savings, they say, commercial aircraft. the president's budget over 10 years will increase the debt of america 13,000 billion dollars -- 13 trillion dollars. you have to pass a $3 billion deal on commercial aircraft, as if that has any significance when we consider the serious issues we are facing. >> that's correct. this is only a resolution. it would be interesting if they br

possibilities include apathetic students, how history is tested and the no child left behind act squeezingath and reading. when i went to see the guy in charge of the nation's report card he told me poor history scores are actually nothing new. >> there's a core of kids who are outstanding. another small percent that our policymakers would call proficient. and then there's a big chunk of kids who are, you know, below that line. and that's not changed much. >> just going through a pile. >> reporter: in massachusetts, will publishes a journal highlighting the work of the core gifted students and he thinks the history scores are troubling. >> it's an old story. nobody's doing anything to fix it. >> reporter: i tracked down some of the bright young minds he spotlights to ask what advice they would give to a struggling history student. >> they should try to find the fun. >> when it comes down to it history is about people and people like us who shaped the course of this nation's history. >> reporter: maybe he's right. one option might be to keep reminding students history is just that. all abou

big business is greed infested and people are apathetic. thought the economy was recovering, jack. dow was up. financial markets stabilizing. the auto industries were paying back their loans, and the job numbers were improving. unfortunately, with this tea party-inflicted wound, the economy's headed off the cliff again. tom in virginia writes, the media reminds me daily the u.s. economy's in trouble. i'm not convinced. my grown kids have jobs and homes, albeit not necessarily the jobs or homes they envisioned during their formative years. the current economy is more like a dose of tough love, balancing choices between wants and needs. and finally randy writes, a fitting question looking at "parade" magazine's what earn, $30 million, and is there any doubt that the country has lost its collective mind regarding economics and how a successful economy works. if you want to read more, you'll find oit it on my blog. wolf? >> thank you. we'll take a quick break and we right back. ♪ ♪ look at that car, well, it goes fast ♪ ♪ givin' my dad a heart
