-- Featured Comments -- This article was a bit disturbing on several levels. Throughout this article it constantly referred to men as "pre-adults" but mentions nothing of the female counterparts of the same age. It referred to women leading the workforce and in college education, but based on the populous that would be expected as their are more women than men. Getting married is not a representation of responsibility but yet shows that there is still More

-- Featured Comments -- There is no good way to do divorce anymore than there is a good way to cut your own arm off. There are simply bad ways and worse ways. If something is fundamentally bad, there are no congratulations for doing it "well". I see no reason to excessively condemn those that divorce nor would I want to do it because those that make bad choices need great mercy. At the same time, there is no need to justify it by saying we did it More

-- Featured Comments -- The writer obviously is a young skier who doesn't fit the demographics of the people who spend the most money on skiing---seniors. We seniors want long, groomed Blues---intermediate slopes--along with a few groomed, steep runs. For those of us who value our knees and recognize that the "trees" no longer are for us, the best mountain in North America is Keystone, a hidden gem that's 75 miles from Denver and is generally overlooked More

-- Featured Comments -- I watched the Harry Potter movies and enjoyed them for the fantasy they were and found nothing terribly objectionable. I did not read the books, so mayber there were darker and more seductive messages there. I don't understand how HP was declared evil by some christians, but not the magic of the Lord of the Rings series or Narnia. It seems like my wizard is ok, but yours is bad. This wouldn't be a big deal, but I saw several More

-- Featured Comments -- Please do not eat for 24 hours preceding your departure time. Please have a bowel movement before arriving at the airport. Please remove your sanitary napkins and tampons. Put them in a red tray. Place the trays on the conveyor belt. Thank you for your cooperation. Have a nice flight.Yada Yada. Yada. Nutterism. Socialists, Progressives, whatever their brand of the day, always try to do the same thing the same way over and over More

-- Featured Comments -- "You fail to realize that money spent to fill up holes could be spent in fruitful ways" I give up. If you can't be bothered to read my posts, why should I give you a serious reply? In the very post you replied to, I pointed out how no-one, not even Krugman advocates actually paying out money to dig holes, EXACTLY because there are plenty of more wealth-enhancing ways to achieve the same short-term stimulus. That's why all More

-- Featured Comments -- Um, I don't think we're talking about 9-5 regular working stiffs here. Ever notice the rise in 'unexpected' deaths of 20-40 somethings in the obits the past few years? People foolishly believe drug abuse is limited to the ghetto and lower socio-economic groups. Nothing could be further from the truth. Prescription drug abuse is endemic.Look at the States which all have balanced budget requirements identical to or EVEN MORE More

-- Featured Comments -- One of my first memories is the funeral of one of my first cousins. I was three years old and 62 years later I can clearly see her being dropped down in an open grave (no coffin) dressed in a light blue dress with a big bow on the back. This did not happen. She was actually stillborn and had no funeral. I also remember my brother, who is three years younger than me, being brought home from the hospital after he was born in an More

-- Featured Comments -- If the Arabs in historical Palestine call themselves a Palestinian people, then that's what they are. So you are authorized-- by whom?-- to define whether or not an identifiable group constitute a "people"? I'm generally sympathetic to Israel and THEIR wish to be a "people", a nation. But you Jewish maximalists are really something else!Is the TEA Party just going to wait now until 2012, since all of the supposed action is in More

-- Featured Comments -- Arne, it is government, as Chris says above, that should not be in the student loan business. Why, you ask? Plot a simple X-Y graph, where X is the amount of federal support for higher education--grants, loans, subsidized loans, whatever. On the Y axis, plot the average tuition cost for a college education. You'll see a very interesting correlation: the more taxpayer money the federal government pours into supporting higher More
