A significant loss to the history of film. With no computers, advanced video techniques, or anything else but camera, film, and his own ability, he created some of the most believable monsters, creatures, (and even aliens) the screen ever saw. His lesser-known films were just as well done and professional as the bigger...more

It is not a surprise. Anyone who has paid  attention for the last thirty years knows that mankind's long-term survival requires us moving out from this planet. As the last Carl Sagan observed several decades ago, long-term species survival requires being a multi-planet, and eventually even a multi-star species. Somethi...more

"Underpaid"? Perhaps in your part of the world, but not in mine. A beginning teacher with no experience or training in the area of study they teach (just a generic, bad-joke "teaching" degree) gets almost twice the money a beginning police officer gets in Philadelphia, more money than a Public Defender (with a doctorat...more

Many of us objected than and still do. The biggest failure of this administration (IMHO) has been it's repeated failure to stop or attempt to punish the crimes of the prior administration.

The current system passes that cost on now, in the most expensive way pos...more

The restaurant is within it's rights: and the officers are within their rights to find somewhere else to eat--as are all of their family, friends, people in the town who hear about it, etc., etc. This sort of thing is "self-correcting" after a while.

This was proposed in the mid 1970s. The Carter administration was going to go ahead with it until someone did the math--it would have cost more to make the conversion than would have been made in extra international trade, saved in the conversion over ten years, etc. Carter's people finally concluded that it made no ec...more

Not if I can avoid it. I check labels for U.S. content constantly. However, too much is not made here. I may have to make my own Halloween decorations from now on.

This is probably the most idiotic litigation since the Motion Picture Association of America sued the VCR manufacturers in the 1980s, claiming that the machines "inherently" violated their copyrights. While "big business" often demands "tort reform", (i.e., demand that they be made immune from suit for damages caused b...more
