A regulatory coup has taken place right under your noses

xfahctor @xfahctor (14118) • Lancaster, New Hampshire 8 Dec 09

Yesterday, while everyone was focused on the healthcare circus, Reid's stupidity, the amanda Knox Verdict and tiger woods, a coup took place. Two years ago, I uttered a warning to people that at the time I myself wasn't totaly...

wlee9696 I agree that this is a power grab, a smart one too. It's just one more way to regulate us. It keeps ignorant people beholden to the government. Just another way to keep those us under the government thumb. When are people going to wake up and understand that...

wlee9696 Why would you ask if he is a racist? Does being anti- Obama mean you are racist? Did anything on the billboard mention race? The guy is expressing his opinion - that is a right we have here in American. If you don't agree with the president it doesn't make you...

ilovemit @ilovemit (279) • China 5 Dec 09

We can find locks almost everywhere.But sometimes we may them annoying.What do you think of it? Do they make us safe or they are just barriers between ourselves.I'd like to hear your thoughts.Thanks.

wlee9696 Locks are for honest people, crooks will find a way in. All they have to do is break a window. Security systems are helpful but we hear so many alarms these days no one responds anymore. Think about it - when you are in a parking lot and hear a car alarm go...

Should university education be free?

magic9 @magic9 (980) • China 5 Dec 09

I personally think that university education should be totally free because to be educated is the supreme human right of every member of a civilized society. Ironically in some underdeveloped remote tribes, every member of the...

wlee9696 I have two kids in college and it is very expensive. But I don't agree that it should be free. It would make us more dependent on the government because someone has to pay for the costs associated with the education. The more government control the more...

wlee9696 I prefer to pick out a specific family in the area that I know is trying hard but not making it. Then we donate toys and food annonymously to that family. I don't like for them to know who we are because I don't want them to feel obligated to us in any way. We...

wlee9696 It depends on why you lost your vision. If it is due to a cataract or other physical obstruction you could recover part of it. If it's due to retinal, nerve or other changes in the eye chances are nothing will return it. The only person who can truly give you...

wlee9696 I always shovel my sidewalk so my family or visitors don't slip and fall - I also put down salt. I don't shovel my driveway. Snow does not mean school closure however there are several great sites like Schools out that can email you or text you phone when...

WBtheMP3guy @WBtheMP3guy (227) • United States 3 Dec 09
