A new regulatory agency won’t fix the problem. Every industry pollutes the environment and degrades the surroundings and occasionally has massive accidents. Governments are supposed to develop infrastructure and fire departments to mitigate the environmental effects, help regulate safety concerns and provide emergency assistance during the inevitable accidents. To do so, they tax the industries. [...]

President Obama, Guantanamo prison is wrong. Close Guantanamo prison and hold open trials for those remaining prisoners. It is wrong to kidnap a person and hold them without trial. It is wrong. The worst offenses of totalitarian governments begin with kidnapping people and holding them on hearsay evidence without trials. Our outrage at corrupt governments [...]

First of all, Global change is with us. My mom had three other children after I was born and the family dynamics kept changing. There has never been a time when global climate has been stable .

But they CAN think about the womb, the unborn fetuses, and what they imagine are the mutilations and pain that a fetus undergoes during an abortion. [...]

I am beginning to blame the major media outlets for the confused situations in both Health Care reform, and the Global Warming issue.

Excerpt from Judge Sotomayor’s speech, which has caused so much controversy: “In our private conversations, Judge Cedarbaum has pointed out to me that seminal decisions in race and sex discrimination cases have come from Supreme Courts composed exclusively of white males. I agree that this is significant but I also choose to emphasize that the [...]

First, The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions. Inviting your cousin to stay with you for a couple of days can drag into months, or, feeding the stray cat at your back door can lead several years later to wondering why there are fifty or so cats in your living room, and your [...]
