If you had to live in a town north of San Antonio which ones would be OK to live in?
I'm getting close to securing a transfer down there with my wife and four year old daughter, and want to make sure I live somewhere that would be nice for all of us.

It would make a lot of sense if you knew the personality theory behind eHarmony's personality questionnaire to target the kind of person you'd want.
1 AnswerSingles & Dating9 years agoRomney supporters: Is tyranny OK as long as it is at a state level and not a federal level?
This appears to be the argument that Romney made last week at his speech. Forcing someone to buy something they don't want is only wrong when the federal gov't demands, but when a state gov't demands it we should all lay down our objections and allow Americans' property right and rights to purusue their own version of happiness to get slapped around with our approval. How should Romney answer when he's asked this question at a debate?
5 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoRomney supporters: Now that Romney's ego took him out of the race, who do you support?
I think saying that tyranny at a state (thought not a federal) level is OK, effectively removes him from the list of viable candidates. Even if there are many who didn't hear the news, he will be hammered mercilessly at the debates. I hope not having the humility to admit he was wrong is worth the price he's going to pay. Anyway, I know Trump also supported universal health care, How about Cain though? He's a successful businessman, who's supported health care freedom all his life. He's got what Romney has and what he should have. So, who's your choice now?
2 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhy is the government involved in marriage?
Seems this gay marriage debate would be over if the government would just stop recognizing marriage or officiating weddings. Any marriage that is on the books or made in the future could be recognized as a civil union. If two same sex people got married it would be a civil union. If a religious or secular institution wants to marry two people together that should be their business. The gov't will just take the civil union certificate as proof of union for tax and other law purposes. If conservatives are upset that two same sex people got married, they would only be able to redress their grievances with the institution that put them together. Any holes in that argument that you see?
10 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWhat's so "extremist" about getting rid of the Department of Education?
Can anyone explain how removing the Department of Education is a bad idea? Any increase in the quality of American schools since it was established in the late 1970's? Have inner city schools gotten any better since then? Why can't local governments run their own public schools to meet their own needs? It seems like an extremist denial of reality to have the view that we should keep it.
13 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoDems: What is the difference between Social Security and a Ponzi Scheme?
If you don't know what it is, please read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme
In short, a Ponzi schemer claims that he will make a sure thing investment. The invester forks over the money and the schemer does not invest it, but spends some on himself and scams more people for their money and gives you a portion of theirs. Today, the gov't takes Social Security payroll taxes and spends some on pet projects and whatever's left goes to the current recipients. Now that you know the facts, feel free to show me how the two have any daylight between them.

1 AnswerMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoCould Sestak been offered a high-level job after he refused the advisory board position?
No one asked him, but isn't it possible that he had one conversation with Clinton and an advisory board position was offered and then when he refused the WH upped the ante and then offered a cabinet position (such as Secretary of the Navy) subsequently? The only things reporters asked him about regarded the advisory board position.

Logically, these are the only two choices given the definiteness with which Joe Sestak answered the question, "Were you offered a high-ranking federal job to get out of the primary."

15 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs it racist when the Left attacks Justice Clarence Thomas or only when the right attacks Obama's policies?
It seems to me like it's more racist to attack Justice Thomas since typically the Left goes after him as a person (how many times have they called him stupid or ignorant?), whereas Obama's policies are attacked and rarely himself personally...

6 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoDems: What happens when tax and borrowing revenue is not able to meet federal obligations?
Raising taxes on the rich typically lowers revenue as the rich leave the country or at least put their money in foreign banks who agree to hide it from the tax collector.
