Over the past few days at Mylot, lots of people have been talking about the recent tragedy at the elementary school in Connecticut. First of all, I want to give my respect to the community there who is supporting the survivors and...

chrystalia I believe both are necessary--the second is a sticky one, because of the wording. Not the fault of our founders--they just thought people would get the idea. When it was written, all of their notes and existing personal documentation indicated that they...

My son just texted me and asked what I want for Christmas. I told him the truth. I want to be with him and his little family and that would make me happier than anything they could buy and wrap up for me. I'm really sad because my...

chrystalia Definitely sounds like a mid life crisis going on, to me. With any luck, your son will find a way to get you and his family together for the holidays--as to your daughter,I doubt there is much you can do about the way she is acting--she seems to be in the...

I have answered a couple of the several posts after the gun shooting with children killed two days ago. And my answer in one of the posts turned into an interesting conversation (heated sometimes) that led me to want to write down...

chrystalia Even the "native Americans" came here from somewhere else--over the land bridge from Siberia to Alaska, probably 15,000 years ago. What was done to the natives was atrocious, as is what is being done to them now. I have relatives on a reservation--they are a...

Why is it that the president of this United States cannot learn how to properly salute the members of the military that he is the commander in chief over? Don't you think that once inauguration is over that a short training class...

chrystalia Who knows? I would think this would be taught, but then again, the POTUS has a schizophrenic attitude towards the military--he lauds them when it suits them, but completely ignores aspects of the military that don't suit him. He is the Commander in Chief, and...

Specifically, do 'our inalienable rights to life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness' register as guidelines to following the terms of the US Constitution?
Maybe we should write, submit & ratify an Amendment stating those...

By now I suppose most people have heard about the shooting at a Connecticut elementary school. I’m not going to talk about that shooting but rather why there seems to be so many shootings. We can blame guns or gun regulations for...

In another example of the joke our judicial system has become, a British bank that operates in the United States was fined $1.9 BILLION for laundering money for Mexican drug lords, and foreign countries that have sanctions placed...

As if there were not already enough problems facing our fragile economy, with the fiscal cliff fast approaching, now the GOP is vowing a heck of a fight over increasing the debt ceiling next year. According to a CNN article (see...

I find it not only ironic but totally appalling that our administration deems it necessary to send American troops along with Patriot missiles to the Turkey/Syria border but wouldn't send even a squad to defend American soil in...

chrystalia The power of prayer and positive thinking can do a lot, definitely--also have you tried vitamin K oil, vitamin E oil or Shea butter? A friend of mine who always was getting split skin and sores (she has severe edema and is diabetic) says they work well for...

With the clock rapidly ticking down, time is quickly running out to avoid going over the dreaded fiscal cliff and further damaging America's already weak economy. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R) from Alabama claims he is fed up with the...

chrystalia There is plenty of blame to go around here--the administration hasn't actually "cut " anything--all they have said is they would decrease the expected future spending on some programs, they aren't "cutting" the base line budget at all (nothing new there), just...
