great thought
Except that nukes are the big stick that no rational government would use, but then are King George and his court rational? How do we stop the nuclear fallout from drifting over countries that are...

why not me?

interesting comments
Especially about black and white. My best friend bleeds Republican and I have often thought that he sees the world and its problems in black and white. White meaning Republican and good, black...

I am proud that Russ Feingold is my senator.
He was the only senator to vote against the Patriot Act in 2002, knowing he would have to stand for reelection in Wisconsin in 2004. How easy it would have been to go along with the herd and vote...

I've read the books a number of times since college in the early '70s. If it was not for my big screen and the surround sound I would not have watched the trilogy so many times. It's just that when...

Well said. I like to call Walmart "Chinamart", because that is where they are intent on sending our jobs. I wonder, are those low prices really worth the cost to this country? I suppose a job lost...

I didn't say that. What I said was that we knew the guy who was fired had a lot of guns AND he seemed to have bubbles in the think-tank. Although not everybody who owns lots of guns is some kind of...

I still watch Lost...
