How silly are stamp prices?

6 Comments 19 March 2010

Stamp prices have been on the increase since 1932.  Prior to then, the only price drop in stamp history was the drop from $0.03 to $0.02 in 1883 and 1919.  Since, we have seen nothing but stamp price hikes throughout history.  Many always bring up a point of why do we pay steadily increasing prices [...]

Why do foreign countries hate the U.S. so?

17 Comments 18 March 2010

Unfortunately, many countries believe just as George does.  That the U.S. starts wars, kills people, and basketball is no longer our sport to dominate.  I have to admit that we are very proactive when it comes to fighting wars in other countries.  Not to mention we are determined to police deadly weapons of mass destruction [...]

Should women be allowed to hold combat jobs in the military?

7 Comments 17 March 2010

Men play basketball.  Women play basketball. Men wrestle.  Women wrestle. Men stand and urinate.  Women sit and urinate (but they can stand). Men join the military.  Women join the military. It appears that women can do the same things as men can do.  So why has the question around women in combat in the military always come up?  The [...]

We all know about it, Have heard about it, and have experienced it?  The National Deficit A budget deficit occurs when an entity spends more money than it takes in. The government has created and continues to grow a budget deficit simply because they continue to spend more than they take in.  Unemployment is still at record [...]

Should we fight for non U.S. issues?

We live in a world full of war.  By being a U.S. citizen, our wars are different than most as my generation has never had to experience a war on our home soil.  I get up, go to work, come home.  Imagine if you had to dodge mortar shells, step lightly looking for mines, or [...]

What should be the fate of trigger/taser happy cops?

13 Comments 01 March 2010

Police officers are often accused of being trigger/taser happy.  It is easy to see why a person would make this accusation.  Officers of the law have the right to shoot/taser anyone committing a “crime”.  History has taught us that the word “crime” can be very subjective.  See the video below for proof: In an instance like [...]

We are currently at war! ……Not really, we’re just fighting a few people while we look for this bin Laden character.  Any who, many people have their opinion about the war and whether we should or shouldn’t be in a war at all.  I personally don’t see the point. But let’s change the perspective on this [...]

“Get out and vote!” “Your vote counts!” That’s what I have been hearing for my entire voting life.  BUT………did you know that if you live in 1 of 39 states, your vote could not matter at all.  As a matter of fact if all the constituents of these 39 states all voted for the same presidential candidate [...]

Just in case you just got to the planet, the United States experienced what we like to call slavery from the 1560s until the 1860s.  Primary focus was on the enslaving of black people to engage in the hardships of agriculture without pay.   Well we have since, cleared that nonsense up and even managed to [...]

Where can I smoke?

24 Comments 19 January 2010

Are you a smoker?  If so, I bet you find it fairly hard to find somewhere to smoke when you’re not at home.  Legislators and advocates have pushed more and more for smoke free cities, buildings, and workplaces. Smoke-free laws are stated as designed to protect people primarily from the effects of second hand smoke.  Just [...]
