  • Recent US led Afghan Airstrike Violate International Law

    International Law is explicit about civilian protection, including but not limited to Article 51, 52 and 57 of Protocol 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Violation of these articles are demonstrable by the recent U.S. raid on an Afghan Village as reported in early May of 2009. Article 51: Protection of the civilian population Paragraph ...

  • Anybody read The Secret Code of Success by Noah St. John?

    I just finished this book and am really loving the way the author provided a complete system for self-examination on the topic of success. I am tired being told to try the latest and greatest technique. It was refreshing to examine why and not how for once. The problem isn't that we don't know how to be successful. We've all read enough books ...

  • The Audacity of Accomplishment!

    Among the many political advantages that Sarah Palin’s candidacy brings to the table is that her mere presence will inevitably invite all too predictable and insulting Barrack-attacks from Democrats, such as the patronizing and politically self-destructive comment made today by none other than Barrack Obama on “60 Minutes.” Obama condescendingly ...

  • It's all about who you know ...

    I'm from Seattle, so have had a little more than a passing interest in Bill Gates .. and picked up this story along the way. When Mr, Gates and Steve Allen were very young men, back in the dark ages of computer history, Bill's Momma was on the Board of Trustees at the University of Washington. So was the CEO of IBM. At that time, IBM were in ...

  • Franken on the Hill

    Before we rebuild another country we need to clean our own house. By that I mean send career politicians packing, rather they be republican, democrat or an independent. Sorry this means Ted Kennedy needs to go home and fight his cancer and Oklahoma's Istook needs to return to mopping floors at the radio station. There could be worse things to ...

  • Both Rich AND Smart -- Now, THAT is RARE

    I have been fulminating for years now about Harvard, and was happy to learn about Michael Kinsley's long ago household affiliation there. I was never headed for Harvard, but years later, learned that a high school classmate of mine, female from Homewood Floosmoor Community High School -- served Harvard as a Deputy Admissions Director for ...

  • Iraq: Failure, mistake, or Success?

    Much has been stated about the fact that we were wrong to enter Iraq. That success is measured by how quickly we can get out of Iraq. Consider this: Iraq is in the heart of what most extremist Muslims consider holy ground. By attacking Iraq we attacked the heart of what the extremist Muslim holds dear. They have responded in force. Millions of ...

  • Psychologist Shares His Notions About "The Secret"

    The Secret's basic tenant is that the things upon which we focus tend to become our reality, as we allow things to happen and do things, consistent with this structured focus, in order to manifest our desires. Furthermore, it emphasizes the power inherent within the ''Law of Attraction.'' Although all the ideas shared within this remarkable ...
