So happy to have you on the job. What would we do without philosophers explaining about the morality of every day things to make you happy such as why one segment of our society should be so happy and even eager to provide a lifestyle to (in this case) union members that we, the ones footing the bill, don't Read More...

Edwin. No. Based on my post, I wouldn't assume that I believe that Obama is simply incompetent boss and unfit for the job. While I don't agree with all of Obama's policies and decisions, I don't think Obama is incompetent or unfit for the job. Obama extended the Bush Tax cuts. Should I assume Edwin that Read More...

I saw Bob Dylan's concert at the Borgata in Atlantic City. It was inspiring to hear Bob's current interpretation of so many great songs written over a course of 40 years. His band--including his playing on guitar, harmonica and organ-- was terrific, absolutely stellar. People of a wide vairety of ages LOVED Read More...

Interesting thing about this recent downturn is how attitudes towards career change advice paths have changed. Several friends I've spoken with over the past year have questioned whether they'd be better off today had they skipped college and had gone into the trades instead of business.

To Edmund T. Buckley: Bottom Line sir, I DO NOT want my tax dollars to bail out USPS employee pensions/ health benefits. Let the USPS Union officials and management duel that one out. For the record, Fedx drivers make less than USPS mail carriers. Clerks and support staff at both UPS and Fedx make less than Read More...

I support the death penalty, but I support due process also. The assailants should be met with swift justice that does not mean spending years in some American penitentiary. But, we do not live in the 1800's, and we are not a society of barbarians. What I suggest is solving the root issue, not the low self Read More...

Victor, you're absolutely right. Let's vote the bums out! I wish . . . Sigh. The problem is that everyone thinks that their own bums (aka U.S., state, and local senators and representatives) are okay and aren't part of the problem. Of course if we ask them how do you know if you are in love their bums voted Read More...

HI Andrew - I completely agree. She is taking a lot of risks here and I notice that there is no testimonial in the article from her children. There are plenty of kids who have grown up under this type of discipline who have become the sorts of adults that are constantly competing out of fear, not out of Read More...

Why not just legalize HGH?...that's the most used athletics drug anyway. Then, anyone who wanted to use it could go ahead and use it, and it would level the playing field again. HGH (Human Growth Hormone) does not affect aggression, and only allows the body to recover more quickly from exercise than it would Read More...

I can see the need for Microsoft to create a new O/S to generate revenue. However, for me the buck stops at Windows Seven. I see no need for further changes that constantly have me relearn keyboard shortcuts, location of icons, and whatnot. The purpose of a PC was for increasing workplace productivity, and Read More...
