Case Study: The Grizzly Bear Interesting case I studied back in Business School: Two friends were hiking a quiet afternoon and suddenly spotted a ginormous grizzly bear barreling down the hill straight at them. Instinctively they both turned and ran as fast as they could. A few seconds...

You are right, I agree. It's just a question of how much. Is it right that all taxes in this country (that those ^^%%$$## politicians waste) are borne by the top 5%, more or less, of earners? And a question of getting a thank you once in a while. Society should stop and acknowledge the fact...

Here's an old post of mine (6/24/08) in the "race" thread that addresses my last two points above. Take a look. I know there was some more discussion on this back then, but don't want to reapeat everything that was said, only to reiterate my dislike of the "relative" rhetoric at the expense of...

C'mon these numbers are all pretty close, I just don't have the time or inclination to go dig them all up. Yet, there is a difference here: some of us speak of absolute wealth of the country and some others are stuck on questions of relative wealth. The first is economics for the most part...

I thought you were going to say something like: "to get to his lily-white Methodist church" :) :) :)

Why? I state it in my post and let the reader draw their own conclusions. For this reason I posted the inflation rates. You didn't have any such notation or clarification or reference in your post. Anyway, it's hard to get these data, let alone get them the way you want them. Bottom line is, we...

I am not sure where you got these numbers from but here are some that, imo, are more relevant: Per Capita Income, US, 1999: $21,587 Per Capita Income, US, 2005: $43,560 Per Capita Income, US, 2006: $44,970 Per Capita Income, US, 2007:$45,793 The first entry is from...

I agree. BUT.... First, it is very hard to hit the optimum spot between helping someone and getting them back to work. Many of the potential recipients are not really capable of working, not well enough for an employer to keep them. Maybe our welfare history has a lot to be blamed for here, but...

Bill O'reilly has had the #1 Cable news comment show (The O'relilly Factor) for several years now, trouncing the likes of MSNBC, and that's why liberals like you hate him. His style is combative but fair - look at his recent interview with Hillary and the grades he gets from the likes of Media...

Despite Leftist Media Claim, U.S. Not in Decline By: Bill O'Reilly "Just in time for Independence Day, the bible of the American left, The New York Times, continues to opine that the United States is a "nation in decline." Hoping to see a Democrat in the White House, the newspaper has...

Well, obviously, it takes more than 8 years to clean up after the Democrats! There's only one solution available: Vote McCain!! :)

No, Seriously, TDog, I respect such statistics that show that we, the US, have so many poor people among us. Actually, fear is more like it, because, deep down, I don't know what's causing it. Where I live, Northern NJ, there are many "Help Wanted" signs posted, and an army of "cash and...

Killing the messenger again? No reasonable-sounding argument left? You liberals!... :)

McCain: Pump This! by Ann Coulter "Well, I guess we're all pretty relieved we didn't drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge back in 2002. What a disaster that would have been. The vote on ANWR was almost entirely along partisan lines, with all Republicans, except a handful of...

OOPS! The Revenge Of The Far Left Loonies!! CNN Poll: Nader Garners 6 Percent of Vote by Rick Pedraza "Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader received 6 percent of the vote in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Wednesday, bringing him closer to his goal of...

Speaking Of GWB All Liberals - repeat after me: "If he (who beat our sorry butt repeatedly and humiliated those who dared challenge his leadership, the best of the best that the Democratic Party could offer) is stupid, then WE must be True Idiots, the Kings of Morons, Laughingstock of the...

You're staring into the abyss, man, it's the dark side that's calling you, don't do it, stay with us, suffer with dignity, support democracy a little while longer! :)

There you go again TDog, quoting three leftist groups and pretending it's alright, fair and balanced, as if we won't notice. Maybe they have something true to say, but I wouldn't trust them, I'd like a more balanced set of studies and don't have the time to look for them, I work for a...

I don't know what you think this proves. The principle in media is "if it bleeds, it leads." The way to sell print is to say something negative, wrong, scary. When McClellan was essentiqally fired, he wrote an ugly book about this Administration - and when the editor didn't think it was bad...

The Same One John was sitting outside his local pub one day, enjoying a quiet pint and generally feeling good about himself, when a big and tall nun suddenly appears, bangs at his table and starts decrying the evils of drink. "You should be ashamed of yourself young man! Drinking is a...
