Burying your head in the sand and becoming disengaged isn't going to change anything.  If you're buggered by my assertations (which are all fact-based), that just seems to illustrate the kind of psychological issues and cronyism we're all up against to successfully reform the system.  It's hard to ...

Would that be "fair share" based on earning it or "fair share" based on being entitled to it because one breathes?  Just asking.

It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings, But, will MO be there singing "Do what I say, wah do, wah do - not what I do, wah do, wah do, when chowing down on the Reeses"?  Or will Hillarious Hillary be there saying "It's my responsibility that I told all those differing versions of the story so BO woul...

You have to admit though that us having guns makes us more likely to shoot someone than not having one would. Now, we probably agree that some people need to be shot (which is why we own guns), and at that point you're talking about the user and not the tool. But without the tool, there wouldn't be...

Wow, BearBones .... you said it much clearer and better than my attempt.  Thank you and my very best wishes. ... Mountaineer No it would not. No offense, but I don't want God in my medicine, thank you very much. Ideally, it would not even be a part of this conversation. I don't think that was the po...

I believe the goal of "medicine" should be to improve ones physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being as measured by the individual desiring the improvement.  If each of us continually grow in those four dimensions, the process will be self-correcting.  Ideally, the deliverers of that "med...

Cool, but what do you really think about Billy Graham's long time advocacy of murdering innocent people when it is in America's interest? notsheigetz, Could you please provide some sources/references for this; I could not find when I googled.  However, in my absence of credible facts re. Graham's a...

I am a Christian and my hope is that all will hear the Good News and be saved. Re: What is wrong with this picture..... My beliefs:  ALL of us are sinners from conception forward and inherently rebel against God.  Thus, why should it surprise anyone that some "good" people do bad things, and some "b...

My take: Biden - rude, disrespectful, fake smiles, fake smirks, apparent intent to pull "facts" from his behind and sound smart, seemed extremely unprofessional - most Little League coaches display better leadership qualities.  I am mystified how Biden can say that his personal faith believes life b...

Does anyone remember how hilarious it was when the media extensively analyzed the bulge in GWBs suit during the debates several years ago?  Was he receiving voice answers remotely via radio?  Is he a secret diabetic hiding his insulin pump?  Are the aliens controlling his thoughts electronically?  ...

Sort of on topic re. our "mess". This is a non-partisan video produced by an accountant, Hal Mason, retired after 27 years with IBM. He looks at the budget, its revenues and expenses, and very simply illustrates the problem. Amazingly, we get all the media talking heads blathering and shouting for h...
