    What exactly are we supposed to be celebrating about celebrities?

    Celebrity worship is an American form of idolatry. Since we don't have 'official' royalty or nobility, that is the de facto form which consumes so much of the news media and the depth of interest which should to go more important and wholesome topics.

    Atheist Sues Restaurant

    Just to be sure, you're saying they do have 'the right' to offer a 10% discount to white customers?

    Atheist Sues Restaurant

    This is a dilemma in which I must admit I can see both sides of the issue. It came up just a few weeks ago when about a dozen from our class went to a restaurant that has a discount for showing your church bulletin. I had known about it before, but it did not enter my mind that day before I...

    Republican Admits Voter ID Laws are About Biasing Elections

    "Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done." So, get rid of many fraudulant votes and Romney wins. I see nothing wrong with that. As for showing a photo ID where engaging in the acitivity in question does have legal requirements for doing so-- I see...

    What Obamacare REALLY Does

    One statement in the article is hilarious: "Obama may be pro-choice, but that is not reflected in the PPACA." Pay premiums or else pay a penalty the SC calls a tax-- that's "pro-choice?" And for the record, one example cited a fan of the Cleveland Browns consuming high-fat, high-salt (not to...

    What Obamacare REALLY Does

    It could be a disaster if Congress can pass laws forcing us to do anything unwillfully as long the penalty for not doing so is called a "tax." It could outlaw bumper stickers or yard signs, for instance, and free speech would be no issue if the penalty is denoted as a "tax," not a fine. Right...

    Assisted Suicides

    I don't intend for the greedy medical establishment to torture me into keeping on living when it's hopeless while draining every dollar they can get that I want to will elsewhere.

    Assisted Suicides

    It's been a long time since I've posted about anthing like this, but a long time ago I mentioned 2 examples of what I think are justified killings. One was fictional-- in an old TV western series, a teenage boy somehow got separated from the wagon train, a party of men went looking for him...

    Andy Griffith dead at 86

    It's a sad day, alright. Within a week that's 3 personalities on television that we children of the 60's [children, not hippies] grew up with and remember. The others-- Doris Singleton, character actress on I Love Lucy, My Three Sons, and many others; and Don Grady, "Robbie" on My Three Sons...

    Michelle Obama encourages black churchgoers to 'get political'

    There is nothing wrong with anyone in any church encouraging political involvement. What can't be done legally, by tax law, is to encourage voting for or against any candidate or party. In the article she is clever enough, perhaps with the aid of coaching, to not make blatant statements to vote...

    Can you answer this one? (You might not want to admit it.)

    I remember those things, as my memory rings, On afternoon TV each day. But ads can be liars; even real PF Flyers Can't frighten Old Gravity away.

    No Indictment!

    A single criminal transaction can result in multiple offenses? How's that? Because, since the mid-60's it has been a federal crime to attempt to assassinate the president, then if a person is found not guilty of such a crime in a federal court, he could stil be tried in a state court? Yes or...
