Cigarettes are proof of that our government is being totally hypocritical when it comes to poor health and number of deaths in the USA. The gov. requires the death sentence be printed on each pack, yet they remain leagal so they can generate tax. Great time to point this out during the gun debate.

The internet was really developed by Morse .... the guy that invented Morse code. The one's and zeros he transmitted aren't much different than today, especially since he could transmit about 30 characters/min.

This trend is only going to increase because there's not enough time to...more

I like how Obama  attacks Wall Street and the Fat Cat bankers one day , then the next day he tells us that he worries about what will happen with Wall Street and bankers if we don't pass a deal. I guess it only matters to the immediate audience.

You could take every penny of the super rich and it still wouldn't fix our problem. If I were rich, the last thing I would want to do is pay everyone's taxes for them. Half the people pay no income taxes at all, and now they get a 1% break on SS and medicare taxes, which I'll be paying for in the future also.   We ...more
