Wow, I think this is the first time I've commented here. I feel compelled to speak of my own experiences as a fairly loyal Borders customer over the years and someone who has lived and worked in Ann Arbor for about 20 years and has been to store #1 a lot, and even remembers the original store #1 on State Street. First, let me say that Ann Arbor has lost some of its bricks and mortar book stores. Some that I can think of a couple More
Abstinence Only Education
-- Featured Comments --
Abstinence only education is not effective. Effective education on effective birth control (medication, condoms) is the reason for the decrease in the abortion rate and a shift in American attitudes towards abortion.I don't see how they are mutually exclusive 'lots' as you so put it.

Seriously, you're calling the writers and readers of the journal terrorists for drawing metaphors from facts which speak for themselves - wouldn't that be ironic? Having lived and worked in China back in the early 80's, I feel you need to prove your own sophistication before you attack the readers and writers. The Journal generally rocks.Kevin,

Perhaps for the very reason that the red state voters are surrounded by the abuses of the entitlement program is why the actual voters (lets face it the responsible segment of population) votes anti-big government (not big government).

Teaching them that getting wasted is "their natural right as advanced primates," is surely one of the most stupid of the current cultural norms.How about "please advise your daughters, sons and all young adults that excessive drink is extremely dangerous to their safety"? The culture of partying and drinking on college More

A Slippery Slope Called Interventionism
By Frank K. Martin (published Sept. 2008)
(Author of A Decade of Delusions (2011))
...In the nationalization of the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Paulson proposed that, on behalf
of the taxpayer, the government serve in two capacities: as controlling equity investor and as debt
guarantor of the remains of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Presumably as a consideration for the More

Well you are in part correct, an SEO is supposed to produce good, relevant content but the fact is that there is a very in-depth science to SEO.
Can you provide me a reason why SEO professionals are "honestly the worst people in the world"? Sounds like you have experienced the burn of having to pay someone to get your site to the top? Did they "Guaranteed rankings"? Or perhaps they were unable to rank your site to the top More

"Republican nomination have been making the rounds in New Hampshire and Iowa, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich."
If Republicans nominate any one of the old defeated faces like Palin, Gingrich, Romney, Barbour or the like, the Election 2012 is already over.
They must bring new faces like Pawlenty, Daniel or some unknown people with clear depth of policy More
