- If Clinton would like the number two spot, there is little doubt she could have it, with or without Obama's blessing. If she decides to take it to the floor of the convention, with the story of an unbeatable unity (posted to Obama-Clinton: Dream or Nightmare)
- In the event that Hillary were to be elected VP, she would need to resign from her Senate seat. It would then be up to David Patterson, the new governor of New York, to fill the vacancy. So he would (posted to Obama-Clinton: Dream or Nightmare)
- David, I usually love your postings but for this one I am not sure what you are trying to say. The U.S. is one of the few modern democracies left that has the death penalty and both the Supreme Court (posted to Supreme Court Rules Against Death Penalty for Child Rapists)
- Where to start on this posting? First, the extension of the 2nd Amendment to an individual right for the first time is simply bare-knuckled reactionary judicial activism. If you believe for one second that the majority opinion of Justice Scalia (posted to "District of Columbia vs. Heller" and The Constitutional Right To Have A Gun)
- That is a remarkably complex question. The language of Prop 8 does not include any explicit retroactivity but insofar as it would deny same sex marriages regardless of where or when performed, there is an argument that it revokes the (posted to Update on Prop 8)
Responses to Comments from Mykolos
- Hi -- Thanks for your thoughtful response. I really love the idea of Bill filling in for Hillary in the Senate, though I don't know the technicalities of the procedure. Evenso, Hillary would be a handful. And can the (posted to Obama-Clinton: Dream or Nightmare)
- Senator Hillary Clinton replaced by Senator Bill Clinton? BRILLIANT. Brilliant idea. (posted to Obama-Clinton: Dream or Nightmare)
- I have often contemplated how I feel about capital punishment, but I feel the way the court upholds(or doesn't) it is more the problem than the act itself. On this issue I find it disturbing that the reason they won't (posted to Supreme Court Rules Against Death Penalty for Child Rapists)
- The Holberman spot is compelling, but I worry that he gets a little too preachy at points to sway the supporters of Prop 8. But a few things are worth repeating: One, this is not about moral decline, it's about (posted to Update on Prop 8)
- Obviously I meant "anyone who's FOR Proposition 8," not against it. (posted to Update on Prop 8)

The AWEARNESS Blog provides daily updates under four socially-aware pillars of discussion: Social Rights, Well-Being, Political Landscape and Hard Times. This blog hopes to raise awareness around the issues that fall under these four areas in a dynamic and engaging format. In addition to regularly updated news and commentary under these topics, the blog also includes Q&As, original content from Kenneth Cole himself and contributions from staff members of Kenneth Cole Productions. There's a lot to delve into so we suggest you stop reading this boring intro stuff and get involved.
Hard Times
Poverty. Unemployment. Homelessness. Social insecurity. For issues like these we really need to spare some change. Give us your two cents to help put a hot meal of content on this table for others to consume, and give those less fortunate than ourselves some credit.Political Landscape
This terrain can be highly treacherous. Watch your step as you navigate the sifting sands of political agendas and government policies. Hopefully we can wipe away the slinging mud and scroll around for the truth that rarely dares to surface.Social Rights
Equality. Remember that? It's a mythical utopia most of us are still searching for. Let's stand up for the minorities and the moral injustices that many have to face every day. Let's discriminate against discrimination. Does that sound fair to you?Well-Being
Without our health, we have nothing. There are many things out there trying to harm us: AIDS; Pollution; Global Warming; Bird Flu; Medical bills. Some are natural, some are man-made, and unfortunately for us the list is endless. More posts here might be just the medicine we need.
It's good to feel needed.
