they would leave the plantation system to the perils of reaching freedom. it was a dangerous and very difficult course to take. but whatever it cost, even if it cost them their lives, they were determined that they would run away from that system and achieve freedom. many of them like harriet tubman, frederick douglas, once they achieved it, they would return and they would tell those who they had left in bondage, you can be free. but do you know what happened when they returned, telling the others about their freedom? many times those who had that slave mentality and a plantation way of thinking, they would tell the overseers that they had troublemakers in their midst. my friend herman cain was called a bad apple by harry belafonte. and i tell you today that that type of thinking is exactly what the progressive left wants to keep a certain group of people believing. that people like myself, people like herman, if you place that bad apple in the barrel with the rest of them, they are going to spoil those who we have already in the barrel. and americans, i s

do you have any doubt that these people are in real peril? >> i have no doubt these people are in real peril. >> that's the thing that makes it so frustrating. this is something that has been going on for years and decades and been neglected and now we are dealing with the popultion of people who have nowhere else to go. their property values are in the toilet and their health is jeopardized. >> so they are trapped. how much can you reasonably -- can we reasonably expect from the corporations from these legacy horrors that are decades old? >> well, you know, i think i and communities would always like to be more positive that you can hope these companies will come out and do something. often times it's too late and it takes too long and it ends up in some litigation that takes even longer. that is a big frustration for the community. we hope a company will come out and do the right thing. they don't have to come out and vilify themselves. they appreciate the jobs and they don't want to be poison. they want it to be poison. >> how would you li

the fact that the new peril is capped a $250,000 in one year. it does mean that you are eliminating the risk of subsidizing a business. you are limiting their exposure to any particular growing business to $250,000. on that basis, i would estimate the cost per job is somewhere between $6,500 and about $10,000 a job. that would mean the job creation you could expect is somewhere between 150,200 50,000 job -- $150,000 and $250,000 jobs. >> we normally say if it is less than $10 million a year, that is not material for the purpose of our reporting. supervisor farrell: next speaker. one of the offices we worked with was the tax collector to make sure we insure that this was a relatively small piece of legislation that could be implemented easy. thank you for being here. >> good afternoon. i do want to thank the supervisors for their willingness to work with our office. it will be straightforward for us to implement. this exclusion would be granted for all qualifying businesses that make a timely filing of their payroll expense tax returns. what is g

one path holds great promise, while the other path is fraught with peril. the promise, of course, lies with keeping with what works. namely, maintaining a free and open internet while insulating it from legacy regulations. the peril lies with changes that would ultimately sweep up internet services into decades-old itu pairtiradigms. if successful, they would imprison the future in the regulatory dungeon of the past. even more counter productive would be the creation of a new international body to overseeing internet governance. now, shortly after the internet was privatized in the mid-1990s, a mere 16 million people were online worldwide in 1995. as of earlier this year, more than 2.3 billion people were using the net worldwide. internet connectivity quickly evolved from being a novelty in industrialized countries to becoming an essential tool for commerce, and sometimes even basic survival. in all nations, but especially in the developing world. in fact, developing nations stand to gain the most from the rapid pace of deployment and adoption of internet t

when our country was in perhaps its greatest peril ever in 1775, when an invasion fleet of 200 ships and 35,000 troops, the largest invasion fleet left england to reconquer these colonies, enevery able-bodied man was needed, the continental congreganted a right of conscientious objection to those baravians and quakers who believed for religious convictions that violence was always wrong. from ur beginning, this has been the north store of american exceptionalism. a belief that no one has the right to coercively interfere with a relationship between his or her god and to try to do so is soul rape. there are three mega threats to our freedom. one is around the sanctity of every human life, you know? the idea that we're all endowed by our creator with certain unailable rights. and among these is the right to life. whether we're noor mall or not, whether we're terminally ill or not, whether we've been born yet or not. if we're a human being, we have a right to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. and then secondly, the basic foundational unit of american society, of human socie

grant park, and inauguration, he kept talking about a planet in peril. how that had to be a priority. it was not a priority at the beginning of his administration. health care was a priority at the beginning of his administration. the climate issue -- faded, and ultimately failed to get anywhere. now, obviously, that was a -- a joint mistake on the part of the handling, both of the executive branch and the -- and the legislative branch. so the big question about him on that issue, and on, on, he had some success on reducing the nuclear peril particularly with the new s.t.a.r.t. treaty with the russians. but no such success, of course, on the test ban. so the big question will not be what his intentions are, but his ability to deliver on the intentions. with regard to -- governor romney, we have to see what his priorities are. and hear how he lays them out. and then take him seriously if, in either case, if he lays out priorities that align with those of us as individual citizens, then he will be a very strong candidate for the presidency. but there is on

the times are perilous. treeson is abroad. rebels are in arms against the state, and therefore, something must be done to meet that. what other things in the newspaper editorials, yeah, xenia? >> he talks about how in the new york world that tawny just wanted to hurt the reputation and the president, and he wanted to take away people's confidence in the president, and he almost like took the sides of the rebels. >> yeah, what do you guys think of that? is tawny doing his duty as a judge fin this case? is he upholding the law or trying to embarrass lincoln? is he trying to help the rebels? how do you guys interpret tawny's actions in this case? frank? >> i think tawny was trying to evaluate the merits of the case, and i don't think he was simply doing something to undermine, though that might be a prerogative of his, but in the piece, the newspaper piece it's clear just an ad hominym. he said no patriot mind would approve this. he's not a patriot. >> yeah. what else do you guys think? do you see tawny as a partisan from the ben

this will choke off a very weak recovery and pull in peril your election when europe is going headlong into a recession. we get that. we're not out to mess that up. this is a huge issue. the other element is so that the iran diplomacy we can discuss this more. there's an asymmetry there. on the issue of egypt israel peace, the differences are clear that the united states is hoping for the best. israel fears the worst. the u.s. believes there are people flooding the square yelling- knacksy and economic empowerment, how can we not be for it. israel's fear is that a muslim brotherhood government will say whatever it takes to get into power. but ultimately it is certainly not committed to the treaty given all the statements over the last decades. united states is counting on egypt's economic peril to say egypt couldn't afford to renounce the treaty, they have virtually no currency reserves. this were $35 billion. they're under $15 billion. apple computer is buy the way over $100 that's the only thing they have is the economics. so the u.s. is hopeful. the israelis are more nervous. mubarak

of political will coupled with the deterioration of the facilities and the equipment puts at real peril nato's nuclear posture in the coming years if nato doesn't act quickly. is that an overstatement or where is nato on that, and is the u.s. concerned regarding the future nuclear posture regarding nato? >> yeah, i think it's an overstatement. in both the political and the technical sense. in the political sense, i think there is a consensus that they will remain an alliance. that requires a widespread cooperation on the nuclear issue which we have been engaged in for 40, 50 years, and we need to continue to be engaged in. at the same time there's an interest on the part of many european countries to contribute to the president's agenda and to help create the conditions necessary for a world without nuclear weapons. and we are trying to manage that political desire on the one hand to ensure that anywnato will re a nuclear alliance while working to create the conditions for nuclear weapons to -- for nuclear weapons no longer to exist. technically speaking, we have made -- we have done th

we, unfortunately, ignore history at our own peril, including recent history. the other thing that is important, we just don't want to see some contradictions in our own policies in the region. we have a relationship with the country that has played us like a fiddle now for 35 years, and that name is pakistan. we just don't want to see the facts about pakistan for a variety of reasons that i don't want to go into, including the fact that we basically made ourselves a hostage of pakistan, because of our own afghan policy. i mean, if you have only one route and the other route has to come from uzbekistan or god knows, the russian courtesy, then obviously pakistan is going to do whatever you want to do. i'm sorry to say that. the other thing that i clearly see that we don't want to understand about the salafi movement is saudi arabia. i'm sorry. salafiism is another word for mow haddism. this is what it is. and it has started since the 1960s. and as long as we don't understand that, even today. i just gave you this thing that is american-published that the lawyers

so the big question on that issue and he had some success on reducing the nuclear peril, particularly with the new s.t.a.r.t. treaty with the russians, but no such success of course on the test ban. so the big question will not be what his intentions are, but his ability to deliver on those intentions. with regard to governor romney, we have to see what his priorities are. and hear how he lays them out. and then take him seriously if -- in either case. if he lays out priorities that align with those of us as individual citizen, then he will be a very strong candidate for the presidency. but there's one other point and it goes back to the economy and it goes back to the pogo factor. what is extremely important for our ability to lead in the world, both by example and also by having the resources necessary to back up our soft power with hard power and of course leadership of international institutions of whether or not we get our economy back in shape and that means addressing -- restoring fiscal sanity to our national household. and to doing something about the deficit. so a big questi

before we get into the perils of our time, of which there are abundance and we'll talk of some of thet, what is it after having completed an audit of the perils of our time that you walk out of it feeling optimistic? >> well, i think optimism is a quality of a person's personality, so i think you either have it or you don't. but i think basically, you know, when you fear something, when you put something out of your mind, you try not to think about it, it grows, the fear grows, and i think having done this inventory, so to speak, of the threats that we face of our own making, really, you know, i feel optimistic that we're going to do the right things and make the right choices and that the worst is going to happen. >> so the first step is actually taking this inventory because if you don't take the inventory, you can't do anything about it. >> i think a lot of people don't understand, really, how many risks we are taking right now, and i think the first thing to do is to understand what the problem is. >> so lay it out. what are the worst risks we're taking and we don't even know? >>
