Food & Drink > Recipes (Other) Recipes: Peach and strawberry French toast: 3 of 7
Peach and Strawberry French Toast has long been one of my favorite breakfasts, and gives me a lot of energy for a long day.

Arts & Humanities > Poets & Poetry Does the best poetry come from the heart or from the mind?: 50 of 115
All of my best poetry has come from my heart. When I worry too much about meter or rhyme, the words don't flow right and my poem becomes merely a collection of words - words that make sense and follow the rules perfectly, but have no soul and contain no emotion.

Other If you could have a one-hour interview with any human being past or present, who would it be?: 104 of 228
If I could interview anyone on earth, I would interview Theodore Roosevelt. He was a brilliant president, and is ranked fourth among them all. Not only did he break up the monopolies of the late 19th century, but he also worked hard for labor rights and 'the common man,' something no president before him had done. He gave th... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Feminism & Women's Rights Should US companies be required to provide equal pay to women and men?: 64 of 139
Is this a rhetorical question? It's sad that in this day and age, this issue needs to be debated. Should we go back to the 1950s, when women stayed at home while the men 'brought home the bacon?'
