This is a good move for U.S. society. Somebody needs to fight the ideological pap our kids are being fed by unionized teachers. Somebody needs to tell schools to teach skills, not Marxist history, gender and ethnic studies, and self esteem activities-esteem. The best way for a person to gain self-esteem is to earn a paycheck, pay for his or her own obligations, and raise a family. That's More

People click on the ads about as much as they respond to a piece of junk mail, tv, or radio advertisement. The real advantage that online marketing brings, and is just starting to be tapped, is the ability segment and target a particular audience in ways that have never been possible before with relatively low barriers to communication to entry. The better one is at targeting, the higher More

Michael- No one is asserting that state and other government workers don't accomplish things- otherwise, we could abolish government entirely. It does not follow however that unions make this possible. Amazingly, the overwhelming majority of workers in the US who are not unionized still manage to be productive and creative business ideas, and reap the benefits of that, without a union More

Actually, some commentators on both MSNBC and FOX NEWS have a definite bias while others try to be good listener journalists. E.G. Shephard Smith is a good journalist while Hannity is a Republican Hack; Bill O'Reilly is a blowhard; Fox and Friends fall all over themselves to be biased, especially that doufus; On MSNBC, I can't stand to listen to Ed Harris or Rachel Maddow-- they are More

The strange thing is that Assange stayed three weeks in Sweden waiting to be questioned by the prosecutor Marianne Ny. After he didn't hear from her, he called her (!) asking her if he was allowed to leave Sweden now. The answer was: 'Yes!' After Assange left, she issued an International Arrest Warrant (admitted by her in an interview) Even feminist groups in Sweden question the professionalism More

Thanks Bill, I'm betting that the savings will come from the overall decrease of inappropriate use of the medical system and decrease the reliance on taking care of folks after the fact and not before by promoting wellness. Education, early assessment and identification of certified health education specialist risk, improved pediatric care, decreased use of emergency departments as More

Has anyone checked to see if one of the anti-riot Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRAD) was checked out from Little Rock AFB or from a civilian police agency and used for some unauthorized New Years weekend fun? Perhaps intense sound waves from an LRAD could do that to so many birds in a localized area, and possibly fish too. The device is mobile, so it could be directed at a river way More

Your way of thinking is exactly what makes a great salesperson makes America bad and not great.. Detroit got arrogant and began making sub-prime cars for decades. They all (but Ford) should have gone through bankruptcy and came out better, stronger and with no union favors.. That's real business, that's what made America great. Strong companies that have to be great to survive. Your More

Good catch; I meant betrays and typed belies. I agree that I do not feel unsafe in Starbucks, and I don't even own a gun. That isn't quite the point, though. People that carry guns in Starbucks aren't just strapping their holsters on because they're going to Starbucks. They probably carry their guns everywhere. Their rationale is either a) they never know when they might be attacked, More

so....an actual, real life, American tragedy....at a critical moment when people's lives have been destroyed one would expect, one would hope, that our President would somehow find the time to be.....Presidential? Some words of encouragement for a friend to the families impacted? A show of support or encouragement? Compassion & empathy? Apparently, for this President, not an issue important More
