Marriage Equality
Sat May 12, 2012 1:50 PM EDT
I applaud President Obama’s recent announcement in favor of marriage equality. It took him awhile to finally make that statement just as it took a majority of the country awhile to also support marriage equality. I’ve been signing petitions in support of marriage equ …

You Can't Fix Stupid
Thu May 3, 2012 5:22 PM EDT
I briefly saw a clip recently of a talk show where both the guest and the host were squirting hand sanitizer into their mouths. Letterman used to occasionally drink mouthwash or some other material that was sure to kill you but I knew he was just being silly. He really was …

Justice For Trayvon
Sat Mar 24, 2012 9:14 PM EDT
I believe one of the factors that has lead to the perpetuation of exclusionary zoning is that people want to feel safe. After a recent mugging in a high rent area one resident commented “You wouldn’t expect that kind of a crime to happen here where the rents are real …

Debt, Debt and More Debt
Thu Mar 15, 2012 6:25 PM EDT
I just watched a show on PBS about student loan debt. It’s really unconscionable how private lenders are pouncing on students who’ve taken out loans for college. When you consider compounding of interest, it doesn’t take long for debt to pile up. The loan rates …

My Human Rights
Wed Mar 7, 2012 5:17 PM EST

FairTax Can Fix Economy
Wed Oct 12, 2011 4:22 PM EDT

Sat Oct 8, 2011 3:00 PM EDT
When exclusionary zoning is gone the housing market will be free. You will be free to live where you want in a home of your own choosing and not somebody else’s choosing.

We're All In This Together
Fri Sep 30, 2011 12:10 PM EDT
We’re all in this together. Freedom and the golden rule demands inclusion rather than exclusion. Some people are worried about securing our borders and want to build a fence at the Mexican border. Here’s a lesson we can draw from WWII.

Unemployment Is Good
Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:49 AM EST
Let's clear up some misconceptions. Earth is heaven. Just think about it. The only reason it's tough for some is because we make it tough for ourselves. With population management there would be enough for everyone to have a quality of life and we could have world peace.

Intolerant of Intolerance
Sun Feb 13, 2011 1:43 PM EST
History shows us that people can always find something to fight about. Look at the divorce rate. The only way we'll ever have world peace is if we become intolerant of intolerance. Unless everyone's rights are protected and respected then no one is safe.

Gender Equality Long Overdue
Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:58 AM EST
A few months ago Kathy Lee Gifford made this statement on the NBC show 'Hoda and Kathy Lee': "Any man who would expect a woman to go on a Dutch date isn't much of a man in my opinion." Well in my opinion gender equality is long overdue.

Save Your Money Honey
Mon Dec 20, 2010 1:31 PM EST
God is speaking. Are you listening? Meredith Whitney, a financial god, says there is a looming state and local debt crisis. If you watched 60 Minutes on Sunday, 12-19-2010, then you already know what I'm talking about. The State of Illinois is the worst offender.

Nuclear Equals Planetcide
Mon Dec 6, 2010 12:46 PM EST
You've heard of homicide and suicide. Well welcome to planetcide. I saw on TV, I think it was 60 Minutes, that our president is in favor of nuclear power. This is something he agrees with the Republicans on. Yikes.

Medical Mafia
Fri Nov 12, 2010 11:16 AM EST
You're familiar with the mafia from watching movies. "Your money or your life" or "I made him an offer he couldn't refuse" are phrases that typify an unjustified sense of entitlement. A taking by force or the strong enslaving the weak is how the mafia works.

Religion Is Rational Delusion
Thu Nov 11, 2010 11:13 AM EST
I visited my 94 year old Catholic Dad for a week recently. While I was out in the yard cutting down a tree a Seventh Day Adventist named Doug came on the property to deliver his message. I was older than Doug so perhaps that's why he let me do most of the talking.

Pontius Pilate Politicians
Thu Oct 7, 2010 2:45 PM EDT
Pontius Pilate was the Roman procurator of Judea who was the final authority concerned in the condemnation and execution of Jesus Christ. He knew Jesus did not deserve to be crucified but that's what the majority wanted so that's what the majority got.

ObamaCare Probably Will Fail
Mon Oct 4, 2010 6:03 PM EDT
ObamaCare probably will fail because rather than address the root of the problem, the Democrats simply continue to throw more money at it. The problem is that people don't have healthcare. The reason people don't have healthcare is that healthcare costs too much.
