As one who at age 69 was diagnosed with chronic lymphocitic leukemia and needed my spleen removed or die soon, I am thankful for the peacemaker specialists, the oncologist prescribing the chemo to shrink the spleen and then the surgeon specialist able to take it laproscopically. Even more recently that same surgeon specialist was More

If you were taught that all people deserve respect, I would say you were not taught an adequate vocabulary. A better word for what does respect mean the homeless man deserves as much as your classmates or anyone else is civility. If you believe in natural rights, then his RIGHTS as a human being deserve respect, but if all we know More

Because Ford developed the manufacturing line, he was able to mass produce cars at a fraction of the cost of his competition which still used a custom approach, making each car one by one. High pay for his workers was expressly designed to drive costs up for his competitors - which he could absorb because of his more efficient process More

Having worked for non-profits, those (few, IMO) that aren't beholden to far left fantasy / ideology--have to be sure to take a serious look at their business models, who sits on their board of directors, who they choose not to do business with. It is not easy, but it is do-able. Planned Parenthood receives about a third of its money More

No. He has to answer to us all. He was elected to a position of public trust building activities and in order to extract himself from this embarrassing situation, he lied. Tell me, now that he lied to the American public, presumably his wife too, can we ever trust anything he says? Can we ever trust that any of his intentions concerning More

Loren, Micro and Macro evolution are red herrings invented by people like Lee Stroebel and Ray Comfort to muddy the water and discredit a theory that is otherwise sound, and widely accepted. Darwin never mentioned Micro Vs. Macro evolution, and neither do biologists. Macro evolution = Micro evolution + Time. Also, it's important More

There appears to be little or nothing that is being authentic about Mr. Obama, except, perhaps, his narcissism. His choices in life, whatever they may be, seem to to be devices intended solely to convince people that he is whatever it is that he wants them to see. Otherwise the man is an empty suit. Were he not our president, he More

I would say he probably deserves it much more than the options for the CEO of a big, established public company. For example, GE's shareholders have many obstacles to replacing board members who can award Immelt massive stock options. In LinkedIn's case, the CEO's options had to be approved by a tightnit group of common and preferred More

Mr. Hallett, You are correct that the development of the Midwest Model had nothing to do with politics. Its demise, however had everything to do with politics. The union leadership as unions became less and less a contributor to the success of the model and more and more an anachronism which threatened the model's success, became More

So where does any union get an extra $30 million to spend on lobbying, but from grossly overcharging everyone they work for. In my own fair city of Philadelphia for another example, the construction union cartel, protected by politicians, is permitted to overcharge 30-35% more than the fair market rate for their labor. Ask any construction More
