Even Heller, in which the right to bear arms was deemed by Justice Scalia as 'inalienable' on the basis of English law, from which our own law descends, does not preclude the banning of certain types of firearms, nor would such banning be a violation of the Second Amendment, according to current...

The Republican party's anarcho capitalists have moved so far to the right that the political spectrum has been expanded to the point that center-left Democrats appear as socialists and center-right Republicans as center-left. The right wing of the Republicans has turned half of their Republican...

You failed to mention that we also have boys trying to pee in girls bathrooms after 7 years of a democrat in the White House.

That's right. I agree.

We often have to make compromises. To insist on remaining ideologically pure may not serve our best interests. For example, I am a Bernie supporter, because I like the way he is trying to move the country back toward the center, center-left, if you prefer, and away from what I see as dangerous...

No, even for the funds around a long time, only one, or two perhaps, if you are considering returns over decades. [ And you don't count those where the bosses were sent to jail or had to pay massive fines, had to buy their way out of prison, or eventually had massive losses because of over...

"Newton's scientific findings" are still "believably true and good", and very useful! Science involves the development, modification and rejection of models, usually expressed mathematically. We now recognize that Newton's laws are consistent with a special case of the current model.

In the history of hedge funds only one has achieved 30% average return over the long haul.

Disciplinary Hearings are ongoing for Clarksdale elementary school teachers for altering the test scores of students. When it was discovered the students who had scored high in reading were illiterate and could read hardly a word, the explanation offered for their high reading scores was that...

N.B. Cuba is a communist country.

Very interesting comments. Thank you. However we must not make the mistake of assuming that all people who have major accomplishments to their credit lie at the fringes of personality distribution. With Trump it is so obvious that one can't pretend there is not an underlying personality...

He is a failure. Isn't that rather obvious.

i guess all those other sources that are saying essentially the same thing as NYT are pathological liars too.

I have mentioned this before. There is strong evidence in his behavior that Trump harbors a serious personality disorder. Or possibly even something organically wrong. I mentioned that he exhibits characteristic symptoms of someone with low self-esteem. Perhaps he was often criticized and...

Thank you, Jem. These remarks interest me. We may be up against ourselves and our nature. That's a difficult thing to surmount.

I understand your remark, because, in the main, it is Congress that holds the real power if, and when, they choose to exercise it; particularly the House. However I profoundly disagree with your remark that "...any president [isn't] going to make a difference." Every President has the power to...

Trump is a pathological liar. http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/07/22/f-e-c-releases-donald-trumps-financial-disclosure-statement/?_r=0

The truth is, i live in a State where my vote for president does not count because of the way the Electoral College works. If that situation ever changes, and we begin to elect our presidents democratically, I will re-evaluate. There may be other ballot issues where my vote could count, and in...

This is both hilarious, true, and sad ; all at the same time. The once great party is self destructing, but may take the country down too. The GOPs chickens are coming home to roost. One reaps what one sows.
