Who ever claimed that the war for oil was to benefit the average individual? Have you looked at the growth in profit margins and earnings per share of the US oil companies that are over there? Hint: up, Up, UP, *UP*
It's manifestly obvious that the Bush administration has never cared about the ...
Funny that homeschooling has come up. I decided to homeschool my kids this year.
If done properly, I see no reason why a child taught at home cannot function properly in college or work. I've known MANY homeschooled children (I worked at a library for 10 years) and for the most part they were the ...
Here in the Banana Republic of Lousy-ana we have trucks that have mechanical arms that reach out, pick up the can (provided by the county solid waste department) empty it and put it back on the curb. You are telling me that your trash people still actually are forced to touch the garbage? Man I ...
WTF kinda place that you live in that doesnt either provide a can or at least allow you to use one? You people should start piling your trash in your local councilman's yard until they change that crap.

I am in the process (will finish tomorrow) of installing GPS devices into many county vehicles that transmit that exact data in real time back to a central point, in our case ...
IMO , all public schools should utilize Dr. Laura philosophies. You don't teach children how to put on a condom, and that homosexuality is a viable option and all that crap. NO NO NO NO NO NO. HELL NO. You teach them the importance of abstinence, and the dangers of having sex like unwanted ...
You do of course realize that early America was mostly populated by people escaping religious persecution, many were escaping England where the "Church of England" and the gov't were one and the same? This was good reason for them to put the "seperation of church and state" into the Bill of Rights ...
WASHINGTON - In the world as Bunnatine Greenhouse sees it, people do the right thing. They stand up for the greater good and they speak up when things go wrong. She believes God has a purpose for each life and she prays every day for that purpose to be made evident. These days she is praying her ...
I think the ID is jsut an effort to appease the creationalists by saying "hey there is room for your religious beliefs within the framework of scientific data which can be proven" It is a nice gesture, but doesnt appear to hold much water to either side.
In a wonderful irony, the only intellectual framework in which people can genuinely be expected to pursue truth dispassionately, even if that truth undermines our sense of personal prestige, happens to be the religious framework, in which people aren’t animals at all but rather beings created in ...
