I might start with the chief accounting officer of sea.gov presenting the demographics of what will happen to social security and medicare over the next several decades. He is not a political...
Let's start with the assumption that there is plenty of blame to go around. Obama care Republicans will eventually grow to hate the fact they honored the legislation with this name as it will work...
Thank you so much for your meaningful response to my comments. I can see that you thought deeply and long to come up with your name-calling non-response. Since you didn't bother to answer any of the...
Why is "proud to be American" a measurement of anything important? Blind patriotism (and I think this is what we are talking about) is dangerous. It allows problems to be ignored. It may keep us from...
I will be perfectly happy for PM (shouldn't there really be a S) to judge who will be married within his church. Have at it. Have a ball. Keep your hands off of the rights of those who are not accept...

a celebration of a Russian...
Let's start with the the Greeks. First, Lysistrata. Then the Oresteia In US writings, the Federalist Papers. History - everything by Barbara Tuchman. That should lead to a slightly more informed...
Now that statement I like. But everyone's farts smell and none admit it. We need an agreement that some smell lingers with everyone's statements, so others are allowed the distance of the smell of...
Give a good, careful read to John Irving's Owen Meany. I continually have the feeling that people in America care more about their pets than children. I guess that is ok, but nobody's pet is going...
Aren't the wealthy supposed to say, "Let them eat cake"?
Why isn't school a proper place to teach nutrition? Schools profit off of those machines. They should have some say over what they contain.
So, let me get this straight. Anyone who reads print gets a blast of ageism. And the reason for this is? Have you demonstrated that one reads electronic sources more carefully ( the evidence says...
I just joined this site. I had hoped for intelligent debate, a condition lacking in some other sites I tried. Looks like I'm wrong again. Let's try a few questions.
