My Analysis On “The Birth”
It is possible that we will never have a contraceptive without side effects (other than barrier methods of communication): because contraceptives make you sick--they shut down a major system of the body. If there were a pill to make you blind, perhaps there would be other side effects to that.
As for barrier methods, the Read More
Criticism On “As Talks Stall, New Debt Plan Offered”
We need to overhaul the medicare program and get most citizens back on private insurance plans and we need to overhaul our federal tax system to eliminate loopholes and lower the top tax and corporate tax rates to 22 percent or much less. We may need a federal sales tax of 1 to 2 percent, that could exclude food and medicine. Read More
Commentary On “Buffett and the Ratings Cartel”
Buffett owns part of Moody's????? Moody's is in the business of rating bonds/stocks that Buffet may own???? What if Buffett wants one of his bonds/stocks rated higher or lower????? Just a phone call to his employee at Moody's????? Is that not a direct conflict of interest to be playing the bond/stock market as well as owning Read More
My Take On “Pensions for Executives on Rise”
Those who wonder why military leaders come out on top of America's most admired leaders, and business
leaders are near the bottom, need look no further than this article. The first put the welfare and interests of
their troops ahead of their own interests. The second put their own economic interests far above their employees. Read More
A Commentary On “WSJ/NBC News Poll Finds Support Lacking for Entitlement Reductions”
Dan, pardon my suspicions. You are right but how difficult really is it? I can make a case in a half hour. As for Mr Christie yes I agree he says the right words but is he fighting the right fight? All his attacks on unions, good for him. But the fight in NJ is over a 2.6% reduction in the budget. Next to nothing.

My View On “Oldest Baby Boomers Face Jobs Bust”
Avg life expectancy of a man reaching full retirement age of 66 today is 84 (from SSA website car tax calculator). You are correct that all benefits are actuarily neutral.....so the NPV of total payments starting at 62, 66, or 70 is the same based on the 84 year age probablility. If long life is in your family (past 84 at Read More
A Commentary On “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior”
Rabeeta, you say you don't think you'll ever be happy because that's life. I am sorry you feel this way, as I did too once--but as I've gotten farther and farther away from my Indian upbringing, I have come to know that true happiness does exist and does exist, god and health willing. Truly I would encourage you to look critically Read More
Some Thoughts On “Speedy Particles Put Einstein to the Test”
Some scientists say that there is nothing outside the perimeter law of attraction book the known universe, others say they don't know, but acknowledge that they do their research based on this assumption. I know there is though...can't prove it!
Another theory I have concerns Gravity. I am positive that if we could observe Read More
Opinion On “Partisan Split Widens Over Nuclear Regulator”
This silly focus strategy on whether Jaczass and Obama were within their authority to scuttle Yucca is entirely beside the point. The fact that Obama was so willing to sell out the safety of all Americans in order to secure Harry Reid's blind loyalty is the point. The most disgusting thing I've seen a politician do, and that's Read More
A Response To “Pennsylvania GOP Wants Electoral College Change”
I could see merit for an approach like this if the state had a hishow to approach girlsry of election fraud where ballot box stuffing in a single city or county was effectively disenfranchising citizens in the rest of the state. I am not aware of Pennsylvania having such a history, although I believe the Philadelphia area Read More
