Smoking Bans

October 30, 2008

Does the city you live in have smoking ordinances? Mine does, and while I am not a smoker, I am against smoking bans. I look at it this way, the government shouldn’t have the power to enforce such a law, whether it be local, state, or federal. Whether or not to allow smoking should be [...]

A President Obama

October 29, 2008

Sen. Obama’s rhetoric is uplifting and positive, but the Senator who showed genuine foresight and courage in opposing the Iraq war spent most of the primary season edging away from his initial tough stand.

Public Poll Surveys

October 23, 2008

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that many of  these national poll surveys are highly inaccurate? No matter how sophisticated our mathematical system becomes or the techniques that these companies use, they will never get the true opinion of the American people, especially by only surveying 1000 or so people, and in [...]

This isn’t mine, but I did find a lot of truth to it.
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper [...]

We don’t have to do it

October 13, 2008

Once again this evening Barack Obama and John McCain will take center stage. And, once again they will prove what Bob Barr has been saying for the past month. There isn’t a dime’s bit of difference between the two.

October 6, 2008

http://www.nolanchart.com/article5127.html
