Many people always seem quick to say they do not want nuclear plants around them, but offer no solution as to how they will cover the power that is provided by these clean energy sources. This one plant alone […]

It has always seemed to me that the easiest solution to the ‘problem’ of same sex marriage was simply to allow it in the courts, and have it recognized under the federal law, but allow churches to have the choice […]

When you look back through the history books, it seems crazy that it was illegal for a white person to marry a person of a different race. I think that our children or grandchildren will probably be reading about […]

This is a good article. I don’t agree with the ban on energy drinks but I am glad that the lawmakers were smart enough to amend the bill to not focus on caffeine because arbitrary bans almost never stand up in court.

I am not so sure about this voucher system though admittedly I do not know much about the system. However, I am pretty sure that even people without children must pay some taxes that ultimately go to help fund […]

It makes no sense to me how anyone can be held by American forces without being allowed their day in court. We are always so quick to just say well these are terrorists so who cares, but what if the roles were […]

SO this is like the neighborhood watch of the future? Kind of cool as long as it doesn’t go too far. I am mainly referring to Twitter paying out 32 million pounds in fines rather than give private client […]

I agree with the other comments, this is a possible solution but with some potential risks. I too feel that some face time is needed in Washington. I also fear that network security may not be where it needs to be […]

It is interesting that the state would fund these partisan events. It makes me curious how the parties roped the state into covering their bills in the first place and what possible alternatives there could be if […]

It will also be interesting to see if some of these countries that have a lot of influence like China will start bringing cases to the WTO claiming that foreign companies are being treated as they should under the […]

It is very interesting that now money can equate to speech, but it is also no surprise that politicians don’t want the FEC around.

It seems kind of crazy to me that many states are cutting funding to actual education but many of the above are quick to put up millions for ‘protection’. Sandy Hook was horrible but I don’t think the answer is […]

Very good article. People see these programs as entitlements, but in reality you pay into them from your earnings over a lifetime and then they are there as a reserve when you no longer work, not an entitlement […]

It is always interesting to me that people can be opposed to making it harder for gun runners to get illegal arms. Especially after tragic school shootings. It blows my mind when people think it better to get more […]

Very cool infographic. I didn’t know about the Barbary wars either and completely forgot about the Philippine war too. Great stuff, and to answer Mike’s war has a huge effect on the US economy.

This is interesting and makes me wonder are these companies like Google even allowed to turn down the FBI, and what information are they actually getting? It also seems like they have actually given out an […]

I believe it is partly human nature to look down upon the younger generations. These are the people that will inevitably usurp whatever position you hold in life as you age. Our parents had to hear a lot of the […]

It is interesting that they have this back-up capacity already in place because according to the Energy Information Agency’s Website, the two nuclear plants in California provide over 15% of the state’s power […]

I agree, in a way a survey is less the opinion of the public and more the opinion of whoever actually created and administered the survey itself.

This feels like something that is going to happen whether people like it or not. Drones will be in the sky all over soon, and I agree that legislatures need to start setting down the rules now. Not just police, […]

I think one of the other issues to consider is how much more or less these charter schools are costing the state. They are publicly funded, like the normal schools, but are the private management employees cheaper […]

That’s the real problem. People will always go from public to private, or private to public. The problem as I see it comes when someone goes from public to private to public again, or vice versa. This creates the […]

I don’t like the idea of a Bush dynasty, but Jeb did do a decent job in Florida as Governor while I was living there and he doesn’t seem as radical or crazy as many of the other potential GOP candidates.

I agree that global warming is real and affected by humans, but is there really much that can be done? I understand it is good for everyone if we start going green and emitting less, but doesn’t the Earth go in […]

So wait, what was that about eliminating public WiFi? And I’m not sure I understand, this regulation would give service providers the authority to fine you for what they consider violations? Wouldn’t this […]

It is always interesting to hear we are ‘arming the rebel’ because it feels like that almost never works. I am sure there are some cases where it has been the best option but all I can think of are examples like […]

I think it is great that people are finally starting to see through the hazy argument that this will allow children easy access to pot. I mean what person in high school or college did not know at least one ‘weed […]

So why is Rubio even doing a Multinational press tour? I know Florida has a large jewish population but I still don’t see why that merits him going over there. Kind of looks like he’s just putting on a show for […]

I would like to see some hard statistics and numbers to back this up, because on its face I feel that I largely disagree with this path. I am definitely biased because I came from a lower level income family and […]

I may be missing something here but it seems pretty clear from what you’ve written here that it would likely be less competitive to not let these generic companies in. It also sounds like these companies were […]

There are obviously arguments both ways; on the one hand I feel that people with bad health habits should not force everyone who enjoys a soda or energy drink to suffer an extra burden, but on the other hand, it […]

And you should question the ‘randomness’ because the list your father is likely on is called the ‘Selectee’ list for a reason. It is possible that he just fit the description of some characteristics the screeners […]

I think this is a natural and probably a good progression of cultural thinking. Why is it automatic thinking that if people are not religious they will somehow be less moral or good. Personally, the most moral and […]

I think this is just one of the inevitable next steps in technological development and we should not try to fight this new innovation. Yes, there are privacy concerns, but as long as it is properly regulated, I […]

I feel it is just politics as usual. Anyone that has traveled abroad, especially to many European countries knows that we have very strict alcohol laws and that providing things like less regulation has arguably […]

That is one of the many problems, that the lower courts did not even feel they had the power to hear them, but I am also very surprised that it has been almost 12 years since the TSA was created and the highest […]

Other fun facts: 8 Presidents have died in office, 4 of natural causes, 4 from assassination. Also, 25 Presidents have been attorneys, most going through law school, but some, like Lincoln and Andrew Jackson, were […]

It will be very interesting to see what the courts here in the US will have to say about this in the next couple of years because clearly the lines between who can be a target and who can’t in the name of […]

I’m actually really glad the state is finally starting to do this. Yes, some schools may risk losing their accreditation but if their not teaching the students what they need to know to become lawyers, then […]

So if there are no ‘shareholders’, where do the profits end up? Who are the main beneficiaries? The players and staff?

Sandy Hook was terrible, but is it really a good idea to have teachers bringing guns around little children on a daily basis? This just sounds like a huge accident waiting to happen.

It seems odd that it is cheaper for a state to pay for a private prison and their profits rather than just pay for their own prison systems. It also seems wrong that a company is able to profit from the holding of […]
