Case in point NBC calling Wisconsin to Obama. Numbers show only 14% of the votes are in. Of those 53% for Romney to 46% Obama. Yet they are calling the state as a win for Obama. Thanks for your explanation

Sam Government: "It is well know to everyone that a kick in the balls can cause enormous pain, risk of fertility problems and ultimately a great threat to the possibility of procreation of the population of our great country." John Citizen: "yes, hurray, we want the full force of our...

Agree. Better education and taxation can complement each other. As i mentioned i have a particular interest in education. I actually think that including metrics like BMI during basic education years up to high school should be part of the system. An additional performance variable during...

Bingo!! +1 Imagine the day Shaq says that the double burger tastes much better with carrot sticks than french fries. And the LeBron James of America saying how the cool popular kid in school is the one that uses his bike to go to school and the loser has to drive a car. And Eminem's song...

Yeah, freedom...the magical word, sadly, rarely used within context. Problem with your stance is that the current state-funded medical care and healthcare costs spread the financial burden among the population regardless of their health condition. If everyone was paying for their own...

Just to clarify, FAT Tax is a "generic name" given to the initiative as a revenue source for government. It is not intended to Tax fat people per se, there are several proposals for implementation but in general terms it will tax food products and raw materials that are known to be direct...

I do not advocate any type of discrimination; and the way i interpret the concept would not discriminate in any way as it would be applied to sugar/fats without regard of the profile of the consumer. It basically leaves the option open, if people still want the daily dose of supersize large...

I've been discussing lack of preventing health initiatives and how the health industry is basically encouraging people to be diagnosed ("sick" for healthcare industry purposes) so there are more medicines sold and medical services provided. Heart related diseases are affected by eating...

Health care Legal system needs a huge flush. Lawyers and insurance companies are just too onerous and that makes healthcare costs go way high. PREVENTION is non existent in this society when ignorant people confuse the "freedom of choice" with "individual irresponsability". Physical...

You are incorrect. Not because of your opinion being wrong, but because of dismissing a view that is different of yours as "wrong". By definition, knowing that traders have different risk profiles, use different time frames, etc , provides for multiple trade management approaches. In your...

This is exactly what's going to happen. Reminds me of that commercial of a credit/debit card in which everything rolled smoothly until someone wanted to pay in cash... CC companies will ramp up the fees, people will cancel their credit cards, shift to debit cards. If they ramp up the...
