Individual rights would only be infringed if they were forced to use birth control in violation of their religious beliefs. Forcing someone to pay, through taxes or insurance expert witness premiums, for things they disagree with is nothing new. A Jehovah's Witness with health insurance pays for people to get blood transfusions, even though they have More

They went to far this time. In the big picture the Somalian pirates have gotten away with a lot but now killing 4 Americans. They went to far. Maybe they were testing how powerful they were but I'm guessing the US and EU are finally going to do something about it. It's a hard problem though, because everyone knows what the pirates are doing is very More

Exactly. The MSM has lost faith in stocks. The typical investor is on the line. Soooo much optimism vs pessimism and sooo many arguments why this might be the new paradigm. Sounds to me like the anti 1999. 2001 - 2011 looks alot like 1970 - 1980 based on a whole host of economic & political reasons. If you have a long time horizon take as much risk More

The Fed is wrong on its stance about disallowing banks to release as much information to their stakeholders as their managements and boards see fit.

When I went back - 2003, there was nothing to look at, yet the oggling of tourists that did not belong there continued. Went back in 2009, native New Yorkers were More

I've been a long-time admirer of Mr. DeMint, and I am certainly no Keynesian. Our government spending is a sinful expression of a coddled nation, but it is explicitly our representative's responsibility to manage the financial affairs of the country. Yes, they are fumbling that ball at the current time but I cannot see changing the constitution because More

Good questi am afraidon Kathleen, they like their minorities kept down, on the dole, and feeling like victims. They especially dislike good-looking independent happy intelligent women. The greatest compliment a liberal can give a woman in my opinion is to call her an idiot. Because you then know they feel threatened. They are afraid of those types More

Yes, I believe you are correct in the statement that things are better as women have more choices. My mother graduated from college (and only because she had a scholarship) in the 50's and the career choices were secretary, nurse or teacher until you got married women looking for men, had children and stopped working. I have had a lot more options. More

And, according to the article, 1.4% of the acute cardiac cases were deemed inappropriate (for what reason??). So, as the devil lies in the details, one should review a sample of those inappropriate cases. Was the patient offered stent because More
