  • The Big Bailout...Ha!

    There is no need for a bailout of the bank when we can bail them out through tax payer spending...heres how: America has fought hard to become an independent nation and a leader in innovation, so how can we fix our current economic downtrend efficiently? Some seem to think that throwing money at the corporations who failed us is the answer…we all ...

  • Re: Are Hillary supporters soon to be called "cult followers

    Not all Clinton supporters are cult followers. I'm a former Clinton supporter and I can see some of the reasons there are still so many behind her; especially the older women. Older women (for arguments sake say, over 60) fought so hard against discrimination that this would be the crowning achievement in a struggle against sexism. Younger women ...

  • Steinem's Op-Ed

    Thanks to the XX Factor for some very thoughtful reactions to Steinem's op-ed. I am saddened by how misleading and off-target Steinem is. Here's one example of a misleading statement: “Black men were given the vote a half-century before women of any race were allowed to mark a ballot.” I think it would be very hard to argue that the Jim Crow ...
