I'm not talking about economic incentives. Let's set that aside for a minute. Here's the basis for my question: With a Democrat in the White House and a Democratically controlled Senate, there is heavy pressure to eliminate big...

SteveSlaton While I could debate some of your detail, you are in good company. The POTUS, George Washington had lots to say in his 30 page farewell address. On our crisis, he warned (and I am paraphrasing and not using Old English) PEOPLE! If you value your freedom,...

SteveSlaton I just re-read this entire discussion. You seemed to gloss over or points made. Sooner better later people of Earth need to figure out ways to stop population growth. Young people often make big mistakes that effect the rest of their lives. My military point...

Like the rest of the world, I am shocked by what has taken place in Oslo today. Norway seems to be such a placid and peaceful land. Who would have ever expected such violence to have erupted there? And the media reports seem to...

SteveSlaton The count is up to 190 victims, 93 dead. The shooter, Anders Breivik, is a 32 year old Norwegian, and past member of the "Progress Party" that sounds a lot like America's Tea Party. This looks like a White, male, Christian fundamentalist. Whereas his...

SteveSlaton The "reason" I used the term "Big Brother" is in reference to George Orwell's novel, 1984, that has been made into a movie 3 times. Here is a wiki link: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four You wrote: "Big Brother is a good reality show..."...

SteveSlaton Thank you, Annie. I had read a number of responses and comments here and thought that maybe I could "bait" some Palin believers... May they cannot think of anything? Or maybe the silence shows that I AM RIGHT?! in my assessment.

SteveSlaton The continued deficit spending is continuing to erode the value of the dollar. It is insanity and unsustainable to keep going deeper in debt. Freedom is not promoted by brute force causing the people you are supposedly helping develop a hatred of you. I am...
