    Scientists: Rich People, Poor People May Have Shared Common Ancestor

    ITHACA, NY—According to a study released this week by geneticists at Cornell University, substantial evidence indicates that rich people and poor people—disparate populations long thought to be entirely unrelated—may have once shared a single common ancestor. “After conducting careful...

    Is day trading worth it?

    Nothing to get mad about, at least on my part. It's not that important. I wouldn't have posted again to this zombie thread if people hadn't started going after Donna. Again. Failing traders can't seem to grasp that their success or failure has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else's...

    Satanic Temple seeks Hobby Lobby-style exemption from anti-abortion laws

    Depends on whether or not one characterizes jelly as a baby. If so, one can carry the argument further to claim that women are guilty of abortion by menstruating, or that men are equally guilty by jacking off into their handkerchiefs. If right-to-lifers want to do something useful with their...

    Satanic Temple seeks Hobby Lobby-style exemption from anti-abortion laws

    Freedom of religion means freedom from having others' religious beliefs thrust upon those who do not share those beliefs.

    Satanic Temple seeks Hobby Lobby-style exemption from anti-abortion laws

    It would appear that "the Satanic Temple added that all women who share their belief that the "body is inviolable subject to one's own will alone" — and not merely temple members — should be free to claim the exemption" include women who are not members of any religion at all. There was...

    Satanic Temple seeks Hobby Lobby-style exemption from anti-abortion laws

    If Christian business owners cannot be compelled to violate their faith, why should the same protection not apply to Satanists? That's the argument the Satanic Temple is making to claim that, in the wake of the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby ruling, women who share their beliefs should not be...

    Never in a million years could have seen this coming.

    You're on a roll. I'll try to think of another straight line.

    Another someone who has no idea what the trader's mindset is.

    Shocking New CNN Poll!

    And yet . . . But the consortium, looking at a broader group of rejected ballots than those covered in the court decisions, 175,010 in all, found that Mr. Gore might have won if the courts had ordered a full statewide recount of all the rejected ballots. This also assumes that county...

    I know this was unintentional but I got a good laugh out of it. :)

    Obama: the first President in history to start rumors of his own impeachment

    If they were to get the same severance pkg that the WalMart CEO got, they'd probably welcome impeachment.

    Federal District Court Strikes Down Washington, DC Handgun Carry Ban

    Six Iranians arrested for dancing to promote islam

    I didn't say it was "overwhelmingly beneficial to survival". Rather there was no other choice. If your nearest neighbor is miles away, or if you're not homesteading at all, a community just isn't part of your reality. Some people have reasons for living in communities, such as serfs and...

    Shocking New CNN Poll!

    Yeah. I set up a library in this new house and stocked it with hardbacks. Those cold winter evenings, you know. And it's a lot of reading, but I wouldn't call it work. The first few volumes I read back when were an easy read. And I'm in no hurry.
