    Hand Talkers

    My wife and daughters talk with hands moving a mile a minute. I can't figure out if it's genetic or they learn it from each other.

    Anti-Obama film going gangbusters!

    http://boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/?id=politicaldoc.htm 2016 currently ranks 6th among political documentaries. I recently saw an article that said they were projecting $20-25 million total box office which could move it into second or third place on the all time political documentary...

    Genes May Determine How We Vote

    No, it was not James Hansen. I think his name was Eric Price, but it's been several months so I'm not sure. He demonstrated everything about his theory in detail including the math. Many of the others on the panel agreed that population reduction was a requirement to reverse GW.

    Genes May Determine How We Vote

    Muslims in the Middle East, Malaysia, etc. do not give a damn what the "advanced countries" think about their reproduction rates. I would suggest you go spend some time there and then reformulate your response.

    Genes May Determine How We Vote

    My wife and I went to a GW presentation at a nearby university a few months ago. One of the speakers was a NASA scientist who was a strong believer that GW is caused mostly by humans. He also said that most scientists don't want to give the details of the mathematical models because they show...

    Murder Case Uncovers Terror Plot By 'Militia' Within U.S. Military

    There are radical elements (bad apples) in every segment of society. Why would the military be any different? Statistical studies show us that we can expect outliers (extremists) in every large group.

    Murder Case Uncovers Terror Plot By 'Militia' Within U.S. Military

    There are always bad apples. A small percentage of every group is rotten. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about teachers, doctors, carpenters, etc... This story is really just an example of statistical laws of large numbers. When you have a group of 2.9 million people you know with...

    In the US there are 1,456,862 active military, 1,458,500 reservists, a total of over 2.9 million military personnel... and 4 anarchists. Is this really a problem? Or is it merely another of example of there being few bad apples every bunch?

    Vaccines for kids...should you do it?

    My wife and I studied this subject extensively when our children were born. There are risks from vaccinations, but the statistics show that the risks of getting the disease are much greater. It boils down to taking a small risk of a vaccination side effect vs. a much larger risk of getting the...

    Radio Shack business strategy: "We lose a dollar on every customer, but we're going to make it up in volume." Good luck with that.

    What's exercise got to do with obesity? Not much.

    I don't have the expertise to know if this article is accurate/true or not, but it's an interesting read for those us interested in nutrition and exercise. Debunking the Hunter-Gatherer Workout DARWIN isn’t required reading for public health officials, but he should be. One reason that...

    Is disagreeing with someones politics a personal attack?

    1. Do you think that states should have no rights? If so, then what's the point of having states? 2. Do you really consider Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson and Al "Diamond Merchant" Sharpton, both openly anti-semitic, to be crusaders against racism? Do you hate Jews as much as they do? Just asking...

    Is disagreeing with someones politics a personal attack?

    I have many friends, both liberal and conservative, and we seem to get along fine. Maybe that's because I'm neither a liberal nor a conservative (I'm conservative on economic issues and liberal on most social issues) and my friends hold out hope that they can win me over fully to their side...

    Real Clear Politics Average Down to 1% lead for Obama

    Okay, then it's surprising Romney's not 9 points behind. My point is, after all the misteps and problems, and Romney's amateur campaign team making one bad decision after another, this shouldn't even be close against an incumbent president.
