Mr. Scott smiles

Obama rally, St.Louis, under the Gateway Arch,October 18, 2008
In front of the Old St.Louis Courthouse where the Dred Scott case was first brought to trial. The case went to the US Supreme Court which ruled Scott was not a man, but a piece of property, and had no rights under the Constitution. The fallout from this decision is often cited as the start of the US Civil War.

    Weird in a "facing the people in the elevator" kind of way, but not my cup of tea.

    Spectacular photo.

    Admit I'm surprised at the "Delete Me's" shtick -- never would have occurred to me. Clever alright, but it boils down to wordplay to see which sixth grader is the grossest. Photography? Nothing to do with it.

    So desperate for ANY attention that you masturbate on soiled undies and put them on the christmas tree.

    I don't care for it. It's not nice to trifle with the emotionally frail (credit to Bart Simpson).
