RAVENBLADE0842 In many ways, that's exactly what I did. I am a reasonably intelligent, rational person who doesn't believe everything they read, hear, or see in media. However I was guilty of lumping the chaos and war of some parts of the Middle East, with all the other...

Tonight the political landscape changed dramatically for President OBama. Republican Scott Brown pulled off a major upset in Massachusettes to take over the Senate seat held by the late Ted Kennedy for over 20 years. What this...

RAVENBLADE0842 Well it was a major upset in the sense that a Democrat lost a seat in a state that housed a Democrat for over 20 years. While it is true the Democrat who held office all those years happened to be Ted Kennedy, I think your right that the party itself took this...

RAVENBLADE0842 Well your right, there are a whole lot of people upset with the way things are headed in our country. Since President OBama took office this is the third straight election lost by the Democrats. The other two were Govenorships, but next year there could be not...

I live in Southern California about 2 miles from Disneyland, and today we had one of the most severe storms in years. Over the course of 2 hours Orange and Los Angeles counties both got slammed with a terential downpour complete...

One thing I know is that a lot of people can't afford to pay the bill when they go to the hospital. Some people think they don't need health insurance because they think they will never get sick. But soon or later you will get...

RAVENBLADE0842 No, It will never be free, because somebody has to pay for it. It will come at the cost of higher taxes for a number of people. They President can promise all he wants to that taxes will not increase for 95% of Americans. However eventually he will have to...

Anyone else tired of the growing movement of "Fairness" in our society over the last decade. When I was in school I lived in a school district that among other things thrived on competition. Our athletic programs were consistently...

RAVENBLADE0842 Another good point. I don't think the strongest or fastest are the only ones who should be recognized, or that participation should be entirely ignored because of not winning. Just that there should be more emphasis on giving your best effort. I think we have...

RAVENBLADE0842 Yeah, Sorry people I got a little long winded on that one. But thanks for the response. That is exactly how I feel on this subject. There is a whole group of people out there who seem to think that the mere idea of failure is a this awful, horrible thing that...

RAVENBLADE0842 I'm hoping the Ravens pull it off against the Colts. That would give the Chargers a home field advantage when they get past the Jets, for the AFC Championship. This year it's Superbowl or Bust for San Diego. Not to mention of the teams left in the AFC the...
