Politics, News & Issues > Party Politics & Ideology Why democracy is or isn't the best method for every country: 21 of 50
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. -Sir Winston Churchill Democracy, indeed... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Atheism & Agnosticism Reactions to Nietzsche's "God is dead": 11 of 21
I have to disagree with Nietzsche's statement that "God is dead." To the contrary, he is alive and well in the hearts of many. You see his presence every day on the bible-thumping websites and television shows preaching about the end of the world. You see his presence all over the world in the eyes of fanatics who do monstro... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Top five movies of all time: 79 of 145
In no particular order: 1. Lord of War. Why? Because it addresses current issues affecting people all over the world. Plus, it has Nicolas Cage. This movie has the ability to raise political awareness about issues most people don't often think of, while also telling a great story with plenty of action. 2. The Constant Garden... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Energy Issues Planning for life without oil: 4 of 6
Life without oil... It seems unthinkable since virtually every facet of our society revolves around petroleum products. Everything from electricity, vehicles, heating, many of the common household products we use and things that we generally don't even think about are powered by oil. If we don't start actively switching to r... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Commentary: Balancing wealth among classes key to America's future: 4 of 6
Balancing wealth among classes is not an end in itself. Wealth should be distributed among those who earn it, based on how productive they are. This is the basis for a capitalist society. Redistribution of wealth through means of coercion and force (taxes) is not in anyone's long-term best interest. While many argue that man... More..
Personal Finance > Financial Planning Joint accounts: Pros and cons of sharing a bank account with your spouse: 14 of 19
My husband and I have had a joint bank account since well before we were married (right after we moved in together, although we did keep separate savings accounts for a few months after that). We don't have issues with "my money" and "his money". The money we earn is OUR money. All of our bills get paid from the same account... More..
Arts & Humanities > Ethics Light and darkness: What is the right balance in one's heart?: 9 of 12
In order to attain happiness, enlightenment, fulfillment, or any other state of higher being, you need to learn to embrace the light and the darkness within yourself. No one in this world is completely full of light or full of dark. A higher percentage of light does not necessarily make you good, and a higher percentage of d... More..

The financial implications of global warming and climate change could be great. But what a lot of people don't realize is that they have the potential to be great in positive or negative ways. If businesses and government act now to stop global warming, it could create new jobs and a lot of profit potential. Building of new ... More..
