Some really good news and perhaps a lesson to people in high places. For the past 3-4 years I have been very active in The Food Bank, part of America's second Harvest in Raleigh. And by active, 5-10 hours per week of my time. What I appreciate about the program is that it has very low...

Maverick with all due respect I have laid out in more than two forums how I feel that America is not taking care of its children. But as an INDEPENDENT I am rather tired also of all this blame of Liberals for all the worlds ills. George Bush is every bit as crooked as Bill Clinton. I am happy...

Bung, If it was really an issue then GW would set up an adoption hotline and make sure that every fetus was saved. Americans are great about having strong opinions. But when it comes to true sacrifice most will take the second SUV every time.

And this is what is typical of the Right Winger does. Call names Liberal Blah Blah, the liberals Blah Blah. The solution is?? Dittos Rush. Yeah dittos are much easier than adopting a child. You don't like the 1.2 then start adopting. It is that simple take action. Lets see what the...

I would propose an adoption campaign led by George W. Seriously, being against abortion and adopting a child are not even close. Right now there are 100,0000 adoptable children in the country. There are another 400,000 in the foster care system. This would of course include some of the...

The question of what a professional athlete should be paid should be a direct function of how much the teams owners and advertisers can make as a result of this athlete. If nike makes 100M from A-Rod then 25M seems fair. And if fans want to pay $75 for a ticket that is great. However, where...

Capitalism should be about being at risk for something and receiving a commensurate reward for that risk. Grasso is in a far different position than Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Larry Ellison and any other owner who could lose all or a good chunk of wealth in a turn of a card. The NYSE as a...

I found out the hard way that Rediwhip is not considered pure. A question of suicide: If someone in ill health chooses to terminate their life is this a sin? If a soldier dives on a grenade to save a fellow soldier is this considered a sin?

Following the logic of Ms Graham's thought process, I wonder how she would explain how God let Pearl Harbor occur?

Noo way, they have that chick on the ameritrade commercials, she is dope. www.ameritrade.com.

We do something very similar here. My sister had a very aggressive brain tumor. John Hopkins was the best equipped to deal with the situation. So without hesitation her insurance carrier paid for air transportation, the procedure, months of recovery and she just turned 51. Just kidding...

I don't know if any of you have read "The Ten Things that You Can't Say in America" by Larry Elder. Much of what he says "In my opinion" would help both America and the black community. (He's black) But, some black leadership is very critical of his message. I have no empirical evidence...

I too have a certain sense of frustration with where I see the country headed, but perhaps from a little different bent. As I have said probably a few times before that I would prefer to see a national sales tax replace our current system. This would replace our current system of forms and...

Bung, Maybe it is too much hope on my part, but I would just really like it stepped up a notch on corporate crooks. And your right, if you go back to the 30s the same things went on. If you ever want a good book, pick up the "Book of Daniel Drew", the inventor of Watered Stock. In all...
