    Homeless Person's Pride

    In another thread, someone mentioned food stamps and how using them diminishes a person's pride. I started to answer the poster but thought perhaps this might make a good discussion on its own. Some of you have little knowledge of the homeless problem. This is a good thing, I should think. I...

    TSA Going Soft?

    I just found out that soon, the TSA will allow us to carry a knife aboard aircraft. Perhaps it is TSA going soft or perhaps they are tired of the backlash and ticked off passengers.

    Next 4 Years Give or Take

    Everything Obama wants to do will not work, as history clearly shows. So what do you think the next 4 years will look like? Eventually, Obama's world will implode. Any guesses as to how much damage he will do? Any thought as to how much better we will be, if you believe Obama is the answer?

    Copyright Laws

    Due tell . . . what is so wrong with the copyright laws?

    Michigan - Right To Work

    I am surprised nobody has brought up Unions, Michigan and Right to Work Laws. It is in the news and it is quite a battle. Seems lots of people do not understand the current battles in Michigan and what a right to work law(s) really means for the employee and the union. Some/many think it...

    Third Term For The Obamas

    So here is my off the charts crazy idea for today. Obama serves his second term. Damages the country... you know, the usual. He makes it easy on the poor; it is a gravy train riding on biscuit wheels. Taxes still up, production still way down. Then his term is over and we stanch...

    Linux - Eye Candy, Free or Functionality

    So here is my question (OK, multiple questions). Do you think so many are drawn to Linux because it is free? Or because it represents a freedom that likely means very little to most "casual" users? Or, because it is open source and many that praise OS software will never learn to edit...
