Fourth of July: What Meaning Lies Behind Prostesters' Complaints? -
 - Jean Purcell (1,945)    
Jean Purcell   
The protest news about the recent Independence Day events at
Monticello, home of the drafter of the U. S. Declaration of Independence,
Thomas Jefferson, annoyed me.
It took a while to figure out all the parts of my
reaction. The key part had to do with the meanings behind the complaints and... ( added 1 year 122 days ago.) |
Use Freedom to Protest or Use it to Attest? Oil Tycoon, T. Boone Pickens -
- Jean Purcell (1,945)
Jean Purcell
"Oilman T. Boone Pickens says the present
foreign-oil-dependency of the U. S. is something we can't drill our way out
of.'"
That is the headline, and I look forward to the next ad by
this oil leader. Pickens intends to present his views through TV ads. The first is already viewable. I... ( added 1 year 122 days ago.) |
Legislators Fiddle While California Burns -
Missing Link (766)  
Missing Link
There is apparently a law that the California legislature must pass a budget by the 15 th of June and that the Governor must sign a budget by July 1. Yet each year the legislature misses this deadline effectively violating the state constitution, where I come from that means breaking the law.

Missing Link (766)
Missing Link
It is wise of you to consult with me before you uproot yourself and your family to move to California. As a citizen here I can provide you with an insider's view while also one that is sympathetic to your desires. I will endeavor to tell you the truth before you pack your belongings and pay a...

Political Skills: Too Late to Revive An Important Social Skill in Politics? -
- Jean Purcell (1,945)
Jean Purcell
Drawing on Frank Luntz's book title, "Words That Work: It's Not What You Say, It's What People Hear," it is clear that, regarding "Behaviors That Work," it's not what you do, it's what people perceive. I remember cringing when President George H. W. Bush, "Bush One," glanced at his watch while... ( added 1 year 130 days ago.) |
Religion and Politics - The Majority Rules -
Mark Parsec (15,056)   
Mark Parsec
The question has been posed as to whether or not religion and moral views "should" be handled politically. However, before we can discuss what should be it would only be proper to discuss "what is" to establish a realistic context in which this subject may be approached. Why is every session of...

Politics and Religion - Who Can Tell Us What We Can and Cannot Do? -
Ben Morrish (7,936)  
Ben Morrish
Should religion and moral views be handled politically?
The question itself is a little ambiguous – obviously the state ("politics") cannot make you hold a certain view and cannot make you believe in a particular religion – such personal matters simply cannot be handled politically.

Who is Ready to Accept Responsibility? -
Missing Link (766)
Missing Link
The United States is in the middle of the worst economic crisis of my lifetime. The sad part is that I am partly responsible for it because I profited by it. On the news this morning the woman describing the plummeting stock market said that this could become the worst June in the Stock Market... ( added 1 year 134 days ago.) |
Government Workers and Lack of Accountability -
Missing Link (766)
Missing Link
So I am writing some evaluations of two programs; this means that I collect data and I analyze it and I write about what it says about the program it's from. I try to decide what's going right and what's going wrong and make recommendations for improvement.
These evaluations are for a... ( added 1 year 144 days ago.) |
The Pentagon's Battle Plan Is To Go Green -
James Smith (698)
The vote was 324-84 as the United States House of Representatives recently approved legislation allowing the Justice Department to sue members of OPEC . The House bill blames OPEC for limiting oil supplies and working together to set crude prices. In effect, it says that gas and oil prices in... ( added 1 year 145 days ago.) |
Onward Christian Torturers -

Rob Lafferty
"Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly." Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2003 after a meeting where interrogation techniques were discussed and approved.
America doesn't torture its enemies. So says the President, anyway, and he might actually... ( added 1 year 146 days ago.) |
Why Another Economic Bubble In Oil? -
Missing Link (766)
Missing Link
My grandmother was a conspiracy theorist. Nanny, as we called her, saw communists behind every bush. I don't know if being a conspiracy theorist is genetic or psychological but I have a touch of it myself. If a definition of conspiracy theory is the tendency to think about how specific events fit...

Howard Dean: A Window into Obama's Future -
Shan-ul-Hai (161) 
Shan-ul-Hai
It's common for a Presidential nominee to replace the chair of his
party with one of his own people. Although Barack Obama's recent
decision to keep Howard Dean as the DNC chair was minor news at best, I
think it's much more important than the media has made it seem. I think
the foreshadowing... ( added 1 year 155 days ago.) |
The Times Are a Changin’ -
E. Raymond Rock (3,068) 
E. Raymond Rock
It's never easy when what we have been accustomed to is pulled out from under us. We see the warning signs, perhaps for a long time, but we just don't pay attention to them. Then, one day, when everything suddenly changes, we feel blindsided. We feel abused, hurt and rejected in some way because... ( added 1 year 167 days ago.) |
You Really Think Things Are Looking Up, Do You Really? -
Robert Melaccio, Sr. (5,185) 
Robert Melaccio, Sr.
Now I really have a hard time speaking out about this realizing many people really do not care to hear it. They would much rather talk about Hillary or Obama and the coming election, as if that really mattered. Oh, disagree, well just why will it matter? Ok the war is about the only real thing...

A Large Price to Pay for a Gallon of Gasoline -
- Jennifer Cuddy (989)  
Jennifer Cuddy
As we all painfully know, gasoline prices have soared from approximately $1.50 a gallon to as high as $4.65 a gallon since the Bush administration came into office. Many believe that this sudden rise in the price gouging of oil is due to the war in Iraq - a sort of sanction placed upon us for our... ( added 1 year 180 days ago.) |
"A House Represents a Family" and Employment Hope For the Future. -
- Robert Melaccio, Sr. (5,185)
Robert Melaccio, Sr.
One half of the title comes from the wife of Mr. Martinez [pardon my spelling] who had a new home built for them on the TV reality show, Extreme Makeover. A great show about everyday decent people. It struck me as to how profound that was from their perspective of giving. No not as an investment... ( added 1 year 194 days ago.) |
The US & Immigration -
- Michele Winslow (240)
As an American citizen, over the past twenty years I have seen changes which, if taken by themselves, would seem un-important. But if taken collectively should make us all stand up and take notice.
This country was begun on two principles, big businessThe Virginia colonies and ReligionThe... ( added 1 year 201 days ago.) |
Government Rebates - Economic Stimulus Payments - Do You Qualify? -
Lorrie Davids (7,484) 
Lorrie Davids
Ah, Spring is in the air. Besides green grass and budding trees, you know what that means, right? It is almost time for the economic stimulus payments to be released. Most people, whether they believe the rebates are a good idea or not, will be watching their mailboxes, or their bank accounts... ( added 1 year 201 days ago.) |
Winning the War on Roaches -
Steve Radford (1,017) 
Steve Radford
The cul-de-sac was overrun with roaches. Our home, positioned at the end of the street, was clearly in the best position to take action. In fact, as the largest home on the block, the other residents undoubtedly looked to us to solve the problem, though they never said so. We had already taken... ( added 1 year 220 days ago.) |
Open Letter to John McCain -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,835) 
Joel Hirschhorn
Every few days I get yet another mailing begging me for money for your campaign. There is always explicit language about my being one of your supporters. But I do not support you for president. You are an abomination, because of your support for President George W. Bush and his unjustified... ( added 1 year 231 days ago.) |
Why We Love Conspiracy Theories -
- Michael Kocis (1,052) 
Michael Kocis
Once again today, I mistakenly read an article about how 9/11 was an inside job. How the "evil" President Bush knew all about it and let it happen to serve his purpose.
Remember the last great conspiracy theory ? Who "really" shot JFK ? It's been over 40 years and there are still some that... ( added 1 year 259 days ago.) |

An Analysis of the January 19th Contests -
Terry Mitchell (4,981) 
Terry Mitchell
The results of Saturday's contests in Nevada and South Carolina boosted the fortunes of some, set back some, and pretty much finished off some others. For the Democrats, Hillary Clinton's win in Nevada breaks the stalemate between herself and Barack Obama and gives her a two-to-one edge over him... ( added 1 year 293 days ago.) |
A Preview of Today's Caucuses and Primary -
Terry Mitchell (4,981)
Terry Mitchell
Tomorrow's big contests will be in New England and Green Bay, but today they will be held in Nevada and South Carolina. Let's take a look at what to expect. Both the Democrats and Republicans will be holding caucuses in Nevada today. For the Democrats, it will be a much more high-profile event... ( added 1 year 294 days ago.) |
First Woman, First Black, First Latino, or First Honest President? -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,835)
Joel Hirschhorn
The phrase honest politician has become an oxymoron. We should not be impressed by the prospect of having the first woman, first black or first Latino president. What would be far more radical would be to have the first honest president, if not ever, certainly in a very long time.
Presidents... ( added 1 year 354 days ago.) |
