Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Our economic prosperity is directly related to the recent decreases in taxes enacted by Congress: 1 of 7

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." This amendment is very clear.

Politics, News & Issues > US Elections Archives US elections 2008: Barack Obama vs. Hillary Clinton: 8 of 44
Upset in the ranks? Everyone KNEW Hillary would win. She was supposed to be "the anointed one". As the single most well-known person running for President, and "a woman who actually has a shot", she was considered a shoe-in. It didn't matter what her platform was; nothing could stop her.

We are sometimes bothered by the question: 'what happens when you divide by zero?' What really stumps us, though, is not what the result is, it is how one goes about performing the action.
