It would indeed be interesting to see what a list compiled by North Korea would look like. However, in terms of the military positive thinking exercises, I believe it is necessary that the exercise takes place in the yellow sea. The specific purpose of these military exercises is to practice defense in case of attack in Read More...

Frankly, a lot of the commentary has been unhinged. Ms. Chau writes well, and hilariously. She has now made her clarifications, and yet the prior comments (which are now gone) were just as venomous. There is something really weird about the negativity in the workplace: it sounds like there are a lot of people who, at some Read More...

Thank you for the concise, well-written article regarding Alimony a.k.a. Spousal Welfare. Our Massachusetts lawyer recommended last year that my fiance and I NOT marry for one primary reason: my income/investments would be considered into the formula for any alimony modification if either he and/or his ex-wife went back Read More...

I'm skeptical of this effort. Maybe the actual document has more. But I suspect there are the usual untested assumptions. One is the autopsy studies. How were the subjects selected? It wouldn't be the first time that the selection process wasn't up to par. I'm also suspicious of any healthy cholesterol levels measures Read More...

You see the problem is that you see the government behind every economic problem. But there have been bubbles and crashes since the beginning of time. It is human nature. What you are doing is blaming the government for the economic cycle of abuse. Before the Fed existed, before social security, medicaire, medicaid, Nasa, Read More...

Rarely has an individual dominated, yea - created an industry. Consumers don't buy MP3 players, they buy iPods. Consumers don't buy tablets, they buy iPads. Genius seems to be often coupled with eccentricity, and true visionaries are more common than we know. Only once or twice in a generation is genius and vision harnessed Read More...

In many cases, changing the parameters of an argument can validate or invalidate the basis of the argument. I think it is unfair for the IRS to claim to pay a certain amount and then tax that amount. The net effect is to pay less than the stated sum as it relieves the payer of a portion of the payee's award. In a large Read More...

One thing you may be missing - we get roughly 20% of our oil from the middle east. Our shaky economy would be in a depression if that energy went away. We can debate all day if that is good/bad GOP/Demo, big oil etc. Facts are facts. So, we have TWO choices. Defend our interests in the region, which DO include the security Read More...

This article seems well-thought out in terms of giving advice to expectant and new parents on how to make the stresses of the transition period easier. However, did one ever stop to think how couples 50 years ago made it through childbearing years with many more children than couples today have? I mean I'm pretty sure Read More...

This is what happens to these kids. Being a being professional and and a former instructor at a dental school I saw it all the time in individuals/students who were pursuing someone else's dream (usually their parents). They became indifferent intellectual burnouts or went another direction entirely different than the Read More...
