They used your position and your jargon-laden pronouncements as a cover to loot and plunder. Great wor...

	Well here was my email to the White House.

	<description>
	This message is concerning the Supreme Court ruling about Corporate and Union &quot;free speech&quot;. <br />
<br />
I am highly dubious of such a ruling. The Orwellian logic that it takes to claim that artificial entities (any human made bureaucratic organization) has natural given rights under our constitution, is as...

	</title>
	<description>
	Why does the public health insurance option make sense for your business? Simply, it is now off your books. What’s next? Well that will free you up to provide a % of those benefits to your employees as an added wage. But wait, get this. It also provides you with the benefit of being able to pocket t...

	I see the local news is picking up on this supposed controversy over the War Room video. I admit to being sucked in by it. I was on my way home and heard Ed Schultz discussing this. As a native Hoosier I got myself worked up before I even heard the tapes. It took me nearly 30 listens and multiple re...

	When I was a young boy my pastor held a friend of mine under the water until she passed out.
	</title>
	<description>
	He also told me to keep an eye on the one black woman in the church, as the collection plate was passed. I never went back, neither did she. Nor did my mother, who had invited her that day. As a young white boy I only knew that what I was asked to do was wrong.  I've had the privilege of not experie...

	People can try to kill people without guns, but those people can defend themselves. People with guns can defend themselves against others with guns, but refer back to equation Yguns + Xpeople = greater likelihood of death. No study of any merit has found otherwise.<br />

	If your presidential primary candidate loses, then what will you do?

This early in the game I for one have no preference, though I've voiced concerns and support for a variety of people (sometimes both concern and ...
