    Is the Universe a

    There was a book on this subject originally published in 1992 called "The Holographic Universe." It was an interesting read, but no way to know how much of it is true. http://www.amazon.com/The-Holographic-Universe-Revolutionary-Reality/dp/0062014102

    Doctors boycotting California's Obamacare exchange

    Most doctors in California lose money on medicare/medi-cal patients. Why would they take on more patients? That's like a retail store manager saying: "We lose money on every customer, but we're going to make it up in volume." The father of one my daughter's best friends is a physician. He's...

    Doctors boycotting California's Obamacare exchange

    Two of my father’s doctors no longer see Medicare patients. That’s the trend in California and apparently it’s spreading across the country. http://www.physiciansfoundation.org/uploads/default/Physicians_Foundation_2012_Biennial_Survey.pdf (See pages 7-9 for summary of key findings)...

    Fox News... devoting 22% of it's air time on the knockout game.

    1. I never said that mass shootings were decreasing. I said that dying in a mass shooting is an unlikely event. You're 2.6 times more likely to be hit by lightning than to die in a mass shooting. You're over 60 times more likely to be killed by a drunk driver. 2. According to FBI statistics...

    Fox News... devoting 22% of it's air time on the knockout game.

    No different than what the left-wing media does every time there's a "mass shooting." According to FBI data, approximately 150 people a year are killed in mass shootings in the US. According to NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) approximately 400 people each year get hit by...

    Fox News... devoting 22% of it's air time on the knockout game.

    This sounds like the same technique that MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, etc. use to whip up hatred against all gun owners even though the vast majority of gun owner are law-abiding citizens.

    tyranny of the majority

    More political hypocrisy. When Republicans tried this in 2005, then Senator Joe Biden spoke for Senate democrats when he denounced any change in the filibuster rules. All Democratic Senators, including Harry Reid and then Senator Barack Obama, gave him a standing ovation...

    Obamacare's big winners: Insurers. Oops!

    Higher prices are inevitable. Obamacare was written largely by industry lobbyists who designed it specifically to drive up prices and profits. Obamacare dramatically increases the demand for healthcare without increasing the supply (or otherwise controlling costs). The result will be large...

    Why Do People Trade?

    Why do I trade? I trade because it provides a good income for my family. It's better than a job because: (a) I can make more than I would make working for someone else. (b) I have no boss, no partners, no one to report to and no one who can walk into my office and say, "You're fired." (c) I work...

    Even TOTALLY INNOCENT People Should Avoid Talking to Law Enforcement

    I was was first given this same advice by a 20+ year police detective. He said there are many good cops, but there are also a lot of bad ones. He told me that when you have any kind of interaction with a cop, you have no way knowing whether you're dealing with a good cop or a bad one, so you...

    CNN's Don Lemon At It Again

    Yes, if it means giving the government the right to stop and frisk anyone without probable cause. That's called a police state and I don't want to live in one. My freedom is more important than my safety. The overreach of our federal government has hit unprecedented levels. Now it's filtered...

    Taxifornia

    Everything you say about California is true... and then some... like we have 12% of the country's population and 32% of the nation's welfare recipients. Another huge "tax" we pay on top of everything else is the cost of sending our children to private schools because our public schools are...
