Revolts in North Africa cause stupid panic, oil speculators capitalize on the fear and jack up oil prices.  No oil supply is disrupted, supply is not affected, demand is down, but the price remains high. WHY?  We do not buy oil from Iran, but their bronze-age government threatens to cause destruction in the region.  ...more

All the journalism schools should band together and declare "Fox News" as a rigged mouthpiece for Rupert Murdoch and a schill for the Republican party.   If I were a school that had given a journalism degree to any of those talking heads, I would repudiate their diplomas for malfeasance of the journalism profession.  ...more

You are poisoning the well for your own profit.    In a responsible society, you would be taken out and whipped for your misuse of your right to offer an opinion, because you are lying for profit.   Shame on you for feeding the ignorant and miseducated, who know no better.   In reality, the whole money supply pr...more

Disdain for women's rights is the hallmark of barbarism.  Societies tied to the primitive cultures of the bronze age need to become more modern and accept that we are not living in huts anymore.   Middle Eastern countries in general, have interwoven the patriarchal traditions with the teaching of religion, to the poi...more

The minority populations will BENEFIT if abortions are not permitted.  How many potential voters would have been born over the last fifty years to minority families if abortion were not so easily available?   Keeping the poor and working class people supplied with cheap safe abortions actually reduces their voting po...more
