One hopes jazz makes a comeback - not smooth jazz, nor even fusion, but real, 1965 in the village, Miles, Trane jazz... Somehow I doubt it, since I think people now want fast-food music, but one can wish can't one?

And the civil rights ammendment was barely 30 years ago. And Al Gore's daddy voted against it, as did Bill Clinton's mentor, as did a number of very prominent Democrats. I don't think they've changed ideology, just terminology. Now, instead of denying a black man equal rights, they offer special pri...

I'll admit that I'm not an expert here. I wish I could back up everything I'm saying with numbers. Some day I will take the time to read up on the subject, but for right now, all I can say is that any healthcare system (like any economic or educational system) that does not provide for 100% of its ...

so the people complaining about oppression are oppressing? Jesse Jackson, yes... Al Sharpton, yes... The vast majority of the NAA(L)CP, yes. If, all of a sudden, no one was being oppressed anymore, Jesse'd go broke. He benefits from oppression and in the process has become an oppressor - I guess mo...

Exactly, Mr. Sharkman. When you compare UK or Canadian helathcare to the US, you have to remember how many people in our own country have inadequate or no healthcare. So, we improve healthcare coverage for those relatively few without any and in the process, we ruin the system for those of us who a...

I feel like I'm stating the obvious here, but... Parents who have less time to spend with their children by partaking in volunteer programs or working long hours, have less time to guide and educate their youth...which only contributes to the initial problem, need for aid and the inability to contr...

I'm a total idealist. A right wing capitalist idealist. I don't think the vast majority of people on welfare are lazy at all. I frankly think they're enslaved by the system and kept there by people whose power comes from complaining about oppression and exploitation, when they are the ones doing the...

insanity = doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Have any of you looked at Canada and The UK's healthcare situation? What makes you think trying it here would produce any better results? The UK is currently rationing certain procedures due to a lack of qualified ...

Wow, those poll options are pretty biased in their wording. I went into more detail on one of the other posts, but here's a little. I do believe every person should have healthcare, but I don't believe in a massive government social program to do it. Kerry says his plan, which just covers currently ...

You should be very grateful for your mother, and as always, there are exceptions to everything. This would be a situation where private charities and scholarships should step up and contribute. Obviously, in this case, we have a woman who is working very hard to provide for her and her family, and y...
