I read about Obama's budget proposal today. The main points that I understood is that he wants a 30% minimum tax on over $250,000 income. It also has over $900 billion dollars deficit in it. I think he has this out for...

nturecamo Yeah, I checked and I was totally off with the 60% thing. But some deficit spending is usually considered positive for a recession economy.

The Food Police are after your kid's lunch! Apparently pre-schools and day care centers are being required to check the kids lunches. If the lunch doesn't have all the required components, the child is not allowed to eat it....

nturecamo If the kid isn't being fed well, that is horrible, and is considered neglectful of the needs of the child. However, it doesn't mean that they can prevent the kid from eating the food provided by the parent. It means that if this happens enough times, it can be...

nturecamo The mission of a school is to provide for the educational needs of their students. Serving them lunch is part of meeting those needs, assuming they haven't brought a lunch. However, if a student has been given a lunch by their parents, under no circumstances...

Obama has no more authority to mandate religious institutions provide the means for employees to do things that go against the institution's doctrine than he has to mandate that taxpayers fund the paychecks of pastors.

nturecamo Let's say, for argument's sake, that you're right. That communism is strictly the equal sharing of property, and that one party controls everything. In reality, it's more complex than that, but we can agree on those basics. As I've said, our property is not...

I've been out of high school for a while now and I'm thinking of trying to get my associates degree. Should I save for awhile first and go later? Or should I try and get started as soon as I can? What has been your experience? If...

nturecamo The thing is, even if you get a good-paying job without college, there's no guarantee that you'll still be employed there in a few years, and you'll end up wishing you had gotten the education so you could transfer it to other places.

Hello my fellow mylotters. I have quite a dilemma. There have been a couple of instances in the church that I presently attend that make me wonder if I should be looking for a new church home. It seems to me that members of...

nturecamo Historical evidence, of course, does point to the Bible having been written by humans. However, this doesn't mean that the contents of it are false, or not divinely-inspired. Only that they're written by humans.

nturecamo 1) Communism requires a violent overthrow of the government. No such thing has happened. 2) Socialism, the non-violent form of Communism, requires the state to be in complete control over the means of production. The last I checked, McDonalds is still...

nturecamo Actually, the simple act of instituting an unconstitutional act is not considered a violation of the oath of office or the law. The proper procedure is that it goes through the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court says "you can't do that", and then they stop doing...

nturecamo I personally believe that the U.S. needs a true "moderate" party. The two major ones are becoming increasingly partisan to their own side, and this alienates people like me who are in the middle. I am currently a democrat, but would join any serious attempt at...

nturecamo The trouble with running under a third party line is that, unless you have a larger base of support than the two major parties, you actually end up hurting the Republican party by splitting the conservative vote. Of course, you could use that as a threat if...

nturecamo Unfortunately, the hindrance we have that you across the pond don't is our ridiculous fear that the government is going to become too powerful and swallow us whole if they're allowed to provide us with a decent health care system.

nturecamo Yes, these Super PACs are ridiculous. They are clearly an appendage of the campaigns because each candidate has their own PAC.

nturecamo The difficulty in terms of population is, of course, how to go about controlling it. To institute a basic one-child policy smacks of a bit overimposing, but perhaps getting rid of the tax credit for children would do just what you're looking to do. However, it...

On the morning that I heard of Osama Bin Laden's death, I wasn’t sure how I should feel. I heard of the rejoicing in the US and other parts of the free world but such comments as "Vengeance at Last." and "May He Rot in Hell", left...

nturecamo I completely agree that there is nothing to celebrate from the death of anyone, even someone considered an enemy of the state. My own religious beliefs are firmly against vengeance and that sort of thing. However, I do still believe that it was in fact...
