Well, he got a lot of us, through his private ambassador, Mr. Maverick, to get a bunch of us to listen to all this nonsense. c

Good, we agree. c

Unions were created to help level the playing field between management and labor. They served that purpose pretty well. But, as in most bureaucracies, they outgrew their function. After negotiating with management for several decades, the unions themselves began to dictate policy, especially...

I'm a registered Independent, so I guess you're correct. I don't like the b.s. from either side. Extremely bias discussions, cease to be real discussions as I see it. c

Maybe someone can help me out here. I'm not sure if Mr. MVector is real or not. So much weird stuff comes through his moniker. I've tried to read, think, and even respond a couple of times, but the weird stuff just keeps on coming. Look, I'm not saying anything really negative, just hard to...

Democracy doesn't work if you have the wrong people holding the 51% majority. Turns into simple kingdoms and such. Eminent domain was under fire during Bush, as well it should be. Property rights should only be waived in cases of immediate danger IMO. Taking from one citizen to give to another...

Don't forget those human lives wasted in Iraq and other needless wars. Not exactly valuing human life. From your side of the aisle I would guess. Santorum is a non-event at this point. Nice enough guy, just too far leaning to be elected in my opinion. c

I certainly won't question your belief system, you're welcome to it. I never make fun of, or ridicule anyone for their beliefs. I just don't think anyone's religious belief system should be forced on others in our democracy. I know that alone will spark some controversy, but sticking to the...

Certainly welcome to your opinion of how God wants to handle God's children. The civil rights issue is not that of God, simply that certificate that says you're married. If the Church was ample, then hetero couples wouldn't need that piece of paper, just their God's blessing I guess. Not...

I guess you never pay attention to the News, Child Protective Services, and all the horrible abuses going on in 'straight' households. At least the gay couple would be vetted, extremely so, prior to adoption. The 3rd generation, non-working hetero family, as an extreme, but commonplace...

Not so sure 'marriage' - the word itself, will change it's meaning. And, since over half end up in divorce, I guess we shouldn't have any marriages. Seriously, I think allowing gays to marry won't hurt hetero marriages. c

Many companies buy back shares as well. This increases their percentage ownership, which helps keep outside directors doing their bidding. Or, in the case of smaller, listed companies, the original owners simply want to have the larger ownership share to once again, take it private. Just an...

I think a lot of this is marketing and appeal. Investors like to think they're special, thus the interest in such things as Maddoff offered. You don't want to be in a fund that allows just anyone to join, that sort of thing. A few people with $10mil each is seen as better than trying to get...

Heck, there was a time, a very short time, when the Beatles were only known in the U.K. And, who is 'MIA' from the Madonna spectacle? I'm not saying I would have known the guy either, but I like to think I would have at least recognized his skill level, or the tunes he played. c

Sure. You know there are other reasons for same-sex marriages IMO. I find some contradictions in thought process when certain religions work hard on right to life, no contraception and all that. Then when they are forced to have such a large population of children who need adopting. They...

I'll take you at your word, about a serious question. The first recorded mention of the performance of same-sex marriages occurred during the early Roman Empire.[79] These same-sex marriages were solemnized with the same ceremonies and customs which were used for heterosexual marriages.[80]...

For what it's worth, I checked Snopes before I posted it. Nice story, interesting response. c

Santorum = Obama's dream candidate. There is no way Santorum will win the nod by the GOP. Their purpose, as it should be, is to beat the President at any cost. Santorum just wouldn't have chance these days. c

Well, well. Glad to see Max and others are reading what I post. And, no other alias or anything. I'm still a centrist, as defined by most. Social liberal leaning, Fiscal conservative always. Don't mean to sound pious or even 'kumbaya' - but I do post what I honestly feel. And, I have agreed with...

So beneath you, at least as I saw you and your intelligence. I, too, enjoyed Beavis and Butthead, but wouldn't use their language in any type of civil argument. c
