Is etiquette a dead concept, or one only applicable to high society and/or institutions? Americans concerned for the health of their nation should embrace the notion of social respect, and civil behavior. I constantly hear about the founding fathers and their wishes for us, but rarely do I see references to the letters some of them wrote to posterity regarding the special care we should take, and

Capitalism, the tool by which economics function in America, is at best the economic theory of freedom, at its worst it is the legitimization of predatory commerce. Like in all things we endeavor to undertake, human nature is the fulcrum of morality. I hear the term "in a perfect world" quite often and in most cases the perfect world is one without the dark side of human nature. Capitalism and

Ones relationship with their god is a personal thing. Religion is the practice of using that relationship to control groups of people. The founding fathers were spiritual, and not all were christians. They also knew the dangers of mixing government and religion, and warned against it. They even wrote letters to you and I explicitly begging us to remember the dangers of letting the two become

I have to say that I admire the authors ideals. To simply conduct civil discourse must be possible. I'm sure the teabaggers do so among themselves just as those who are not do.

The main problem with christian doctrine is that it claims exclusive rights to the afterlife, with no alternative whatsoever. Now if every human on earth had a copy of the bible, and we all interpreted it the same way, then I could say maybe it's true. But we do neither of those things, so I am doubtful.

Capitalism itself sucks as much as a rifle by itself does. They are tools to be used for either good or evil; the sucky part is the lack of practical common sense regulations to prevent greedy selfish entities from taking advantage of consumers and investors.

Humans will not slow the rate of population growth until we are rendered infertile by our actions, so to support the population we will NEED to consume more efficiently and reduce waste.

This painting is a case of ignorant people with too much time. America wasn't founded to be a nation of ANY religion, in fact church and state separation is included in the first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison both decried the importance of the separation of church and state to the preservation of the basic principles of the U.S. Constitution.I wonder what

It is the American way to make increased profits at any cost. The past few administrations have been pandering to crappy car makers, the bad gamblers of the banking industry, and blatant disregard of patients needs by the health insurance providers, not to mention the war profiteering going on.Now we could just keep on doing the same old thing and watch this great country go down the crapper, or

They sooner we pick these ticks off of our pocketbooks, the better off we all will be. Health insurance is a redundant middle man industry which is driving costs up by forcing hospitals to hire staff to deal with paperwork, taking exorbitant pay without actually PRODUCING anything, and defaulting on their promised coverage. Basically the care they deem acceptable is covered by the premiums

Her (unintenti­onal?)call for mass suicide is actually quite poignant and literally true. If all the anti-health care reform folks do as she says by actually slitting their wrists, the reform bill would be passed. If they do as she is attempting to insinuate and unite to defeat it, that would be national suicide indirectly imposed upon the uninsured by the insurance companies. The status quo has

The marvels of capitalism as laid down by the most fiscally conservative would obviously give the advantage to the sleek, efficient and so very effective private insurers, versus if the unwieldy mess maker; the US gov't public option.

I was a hyperactive kid, and was tied to more than one desk in grade school. Although the doctors told my mom to put me on Ritalin, she did not, and I thank her still. Living in a suburban community with lots of undeveloped land around in the 70's-80's I had a large play area and burned off much energy. I was a latchkey kid and ate terribly:hostess and soda and packaged food until I was about 11.

Religious texts are stories to divide people into groups that have the opposite mind-set, and since there is no tangible proof directly linked to the existence of any god, the argument is one that cannot be won in a logical manner.
