Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Violators of gun laws should be prosecuted to the fullest, rather than restricting the rights of lawful citizens: 3 of 12

I agree that violators of gun laws should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I would go one step further, however. I am a firm believer that guns should be registered. If every manufacturer had to provide the serial number of a weapon made, and a shell fired from the weapon as an example of the rifling of the barre...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Cell phones: 24 of 54

Before we start making decisions about the use of cell phones in school, let us define cell phone. If we are going to make an intelligent decision about one of modern life's most intrusive inventions, we should know exactly what we are dealing with. Therefore, I propose the following official definition of cell phone. Creati...
Politics, News & Issues > Politics, News & Issues (Other) The many woes of the Bush Administration: 9 of 16

It is a mystery to me how the current administration has been able to lie so consistently to the American people and still have a following who support their (Cheney/Bush/Rove) terroristic ways. What divine law says the United States of America is responsible for forcing our type of government on every foreign nation on eart...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Why I love the Midwest: 14 of 20

I grew up on the great plains of Western Kansas. Even though it was more years ago than I care to remember, I can still recall the fresh breezes blowing in the evenings as we would sit on our porch and watch the fields of wheat dancing in the wind. The call of doves and meadowlarks would fill the air with a joyous sound, rem...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: What it's like being 60: 26 of 37

It is ironic that this question should show up when I was wondering about being 60 myself. Many people seem to think that life is over at 60. Others think life begins at 60. The reality of the situation is that the mind never thinks it is as old as it is, and the body never thinks it is as young as the mind thinks it is. Reg...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: Losing a dog: 37 of 44

Farewell to a Princess. On Sunday, April 15, 2007, we lost our beloved Spitz, Princess. She had been with us for about13 years. We don't remember just exactly when we got her, but we do remember that she was a little white bundle of love and tongue. She quickly took over our hearts and souls with her loving nature and her de...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: What my dog means to me: 362 of 393

I am actually writing about two dogs. And I must write in the past tense, as I lost both in a 30 day period some 3 months ago. Princess was a Spitz that we adopted when she was about 4 months old. She was a little white bundle of love and tongue. She adopted us instantly, and from that time forward, she was the ruler of the ...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Dogs: 54 of 58

There are two main things to remember about getting a new puppy. 1. He is smarter than you are. 2. He is smarter than you are. He will manipulate you to the fullest extent of his capabilities, and they are extraordinary. His big innocent eyes will lock you in a trance, and you are subject to his will and power. Not many peop...
