Senabarriers to learningrs go back to being appointed by their State legislature and we install term limits, 1 six year term for Senators and 2 3-year terms for Congressmen. Yes, that would require changing a Congressman's term from 2 to 3 years, but think about it, a 2 year term means they spend the first 6 months learning how to get from their parking place Read More

I sure think that's true. Basic verbal communication skills must be maintained and improved in spite of the ultimately harmful, false sense of security on gets from safety systems, and not just on bikes. Look at the response of the hapless Air France crew over the Atlantic out of Sao Paulo. In the barrage of safety system inputs the never, EVER, pushed the Read More

Just out of curiosity - when you were a corporate executive, did you care about creating or preserving US jobs? I realize that's largely a function of the industry, the specific business and where its primary customers are located, but obviously you must have some significant amount of experience to make that kind of sweepingly generic statement. Right? Even Read More

Well now, compared to Obama, Romney might be an self improvement tips. If he had not been rolled by the Democrats in Massachusetts so doggone easily. Personally, I do not want someone who is merely a competent businessman as president. I want someone who knows why conservative principles, Friedmanite economics as opposed to Keynesian, for example, smaller government Read More

Another way to handle the estate tax for businesses is quit taxing negative working capital capital. That would allow a small business to build up a certain amount of working capital that could be used to pay any estate taxes due without jeopardizing the business.

I might be able to turn my kids into human calculators - they're already at the top of their classes in math (including ahead of the two Chinese girls in my one daughter's class), but I'd prefer happy lives for them. A 2007 assessment (the first that came up with Google) put China dead last out of 20 countries when it came to true happiness. The U.S. was in Read More

Here's the absurdity that the banksters are telling us and that the political leaders of the West are going along with: the banksters cannot be required to increase capital reserves to levels that will prevent another financial male midlife crisis or there will be another financial crisis; the banksters cannot take much if any loss on any investment/speculation Read More

My first job was below minimum wage and taught me many useful lessons. i balancing work and familyed for my dad from 10 to 16 when i went to a minimum wage job. Once I had it and my work ethic in place, I was able to learn and move up the ladder. If i would not have learned so many things at that level, i could not have made it. I wonder how many other here Read More

We get it now Gordon you don't like job hunting tips, so don't do it. A bigger problem in this nation than hunting is a loss of tolerance we have for activities of neighbors we don't happen to like. I feel what is worse than hunting of wildlife populations in this country is to ignore them and leave them to the gradual encroachment and removal by development Read More

Speaking as someone who is hip deep in this situation, none of these examples are even appropriate. Relocating a chronically ill patient is almost impossible and is foolish to even suggest. Achieving distance from an elderly, but functional, relative is only an emotional burden for the person relocating. Let's hear stories about people quitting a job their Read More
