Politics, News & Issues > Economic News Should AIG executives be forced to return bonuses paid with federal bailout money?

1 of 17

I do not believe that the people at AIG who received bonuses should be forced to pay the money back. I know that this idea will outrage many of you. But first hear out my reasoning. This is not an issue that should be driven by anger or righteous moral beliefs. This argument is all about legalities.The federal government as d... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Environmental Awareness The dangers of politicizing the issue of global warming

2 of 19

By their very nature politician create havoc and concern. Politics is a business of rushing from one emotional issue to the next, trying to make the constituency happy. At the same time politicians are trying to do the "right" thing for the country as a whole. Too often these two goals don't mix. Global climatology is a huge ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political Issues Should the United States have universal health care?

20 of 60

Most people you talk to will tell you that they want universal health care because they want equal access to health care like the rich people have. In this country today everyone has equal access to health care, it is just a matter of who is paying for it. Many people want free premium health care, with an emphasis on free. G... More..

38 of 75

I was almost blown over when I came across this question. While I understand that the debate has raged for years about the nature of Dungeons and Dragons, I still find this to be a question of silliness. Given a little time and effort I think, no I know, I could write you a paper defining how the Bible promoted evil, adultery... More..

The men who fought to free our country understood the need for protection in times of crisis. The opening fight of the Revolutionary War was fought over gun supply's held by rebelling colonists. Without those weapons and ammunition the community was at the mercy of the British government at whose hands the colonists had suff... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Should the media have freedom of speech?

82 of 104

The question of the press having freedom of speech is much like the joke publicized recently. The joke goes "You have the right to remain silent, you just don't have the ability". In the case of the media it is more like "You have the freedom to tell the truth, all of it, you just don't want to." Journalists in this country ... More..

When Brenda and I were married her friend Hillary gave us a calender with movable numbers and blocks to put in for birthdays, holidays and season change. It is a very cool calender. The kids ride me sometimes when we all forget to change the calender. I changed my calender over the weekend, looking at the month coming up. Man... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Is global warming a hoax?

38 of 41

The discussion of global warming is disarming discussion. The idea of whether the Earth is warming or cooling is merely a matter of how you look at the records. Not that there are any truly reliable records to look at. When discussing "global" warming it is like discussing the movement of large bodies of land. Over the period... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Is there a scientific consensus about global warming?

27 of 27

Ockham's razor states "that the explanation of any phenomenon should make as few assumptions as possible." Or paraphrased as we most often hear it phrased today "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one."
