Layout, I had an interesting conversation with someone from Oxford this morning and he made a point that we appear to be so concern about spreading democracy across the world while at the same time we are dealing with not just one but two communist economies that are moving toward capitalism at...

They use it as a fear tactic to get by any and all debate over the issue. By saying it is racist, it removes any opposition on any possible position one takes for proper immigration while adding a flare of the dramatic to the conversation. The problem with the racist argument is it makes the...

Sorry Layout, your statement about visibility proves my point. If we are so dumb to look at the president as the most visible while ignoring those who we directly elect, we deserve what we get. I see even here a defensive posture from those who complain about how bad it is then when it comes...

Getting stuff from India is iffy, their is no laws to protect consumers there and their pharma laws are still from being in sync with ours. Until recently they didn't recognized US patents and Viagra was being made by some back yard companies and sold in Europe for a while because one of them...

BUT.... Miracle Whip is a salad dressing, not a mayo.

Bottled water, water from those machines - yes. Flying J RV pump side water outlets - no way. I've seen people fill their black water tank with that water when it is clearly marked "for drinking only".

I talked to someone across the pond this morning who's brother decided because he can't find a job, he has to move back into his parents home and collect 'relief'. He is single, no real debt so for some odd reason he is getting $250 a week just because. Go figure.

Not to complain but I will, why is this in the soap box? AND I wish I had your engine problems and you had my everything else problems.

I'm cranky this morning, so live with it. :p

Well first many are now thinking that we don't need to be in Europe any more, a good thing. Second the European Union has its own military organization which comprises of 27 member states providing the EU with a military organization stronger than NATO if they want it. The problem is that the...

"I would hate to turn him into a W2 on accident" I am offering this advice; Do not worry about what hours he puts in Don't worry about the days he takes off Don't worry about giving him 'raises' Treat him as a service, which means give him a goal and let him meet it without your...

"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed in 1949 as a U.S.-led bulwark against Soviet aggression, but in the post-Cold War era it has struggled to find a purpose." Struggled to find a purpose? It has none. If the Soviet threat was still there, then yep it has a purpose but right...

Not to critisize but please make a comment with the link to spur a conversation. As for the subject material, Newt is a poor debater and even a poorer politician. He should stick to writing books about history.

Scare tactics are a poor way to govern people. But it sure does work.

Well Cheri, there is a lot more to the story than meets the eye. Many don't get that AARP has been helpful in shaping the national policy about drugs, they seem to be in with the Pharma companies to limit the access and they surely had a hand in the Part D mess. Then we have the other issue of...

I don't really know, some guy called ALGORE invented it so we can communicate with each other through a box called a computer. It may be one of them Martian things that I heard about on that radio show X-1. Or maybe ALGORE is like Klaatu but without the intelligence or the robot.

I can't really explain for obvious reasons, but let's say I have access to a lot of Aussie programming via this thing they call the Internet.

Top Gear UK is pretty funny, the Aussie version is almost there but the US version - rather stuffy and boring because nothing is unique about the show if you watch the UK version.

Oh I thought you had a ten speed for some reason. Different creature in that truck of yours.

Lawrence, For as much bad weather I have driven in, I have yet to not to drive without some pre-planning involved in-route. We are supposed to be professionals, and for a lack of a better term, there are unexpected events that we face where we have to make snap decisions to get safely out of...
