He will be getting into the Coding just like me. In addit...

Why Is Our Country So Backwards?
I am simply amazed at the US. It is one of the main leaders in technology, healthcare, etc. but our country is so backwards it is frightening. Other countries seem to be able to forecast things better than the US and they make appropriate changes beforehand. For example, use of the police.

Ron Paul on Eliot Spitzer
Ron Paul on Eliot Spitzer: He acted badly but didn't deserve this: By John Bresnahan Rep.

Did we all turn into thiefs and terrorists over night? And if you aren't one, you certainly are made to FEEL like one no matter where you go. Especially at&...

Casino customer's threat to 'blow this place down'
(From the Las Vegas Review-Journal): Casino customer's threat 'to blow this place down' sounds serious It was a late Saturday night in May at the Mandalay Bay, and the casino floor was the usual carnival of gambling and boozy voices. The large man of Middle Eastern descent took a seat next to the buxom woman in the low-cut blouse. Between deals, he made sexual suggestions. Three seats away, the woman's husband spoke up....
