Khizr Kahn's son sacrificed his own life for which he should be honored.

But I don't know what Khizr Kahn has sacrificed.

I don't know of anything Trump has sacrificed anything for this country either.

I don't want discussion. Just data from monitoring the 200 million square miles of the earth's surface over a reasonable period of time like 100 years or so. I know the winters are warmer where I live but that's not exactly a global trend.

I just got an email telling me this. Anyway it is an interesting concept. If Washington politicians were hostages, would you want to pay their ransom?

Yes, I know Gore never said exactly that and that's part of why it is such an over the top statement.

On the other hand I suppose we would all be driving ox carts if it weren't for BHO. There would be no cars made anywhere in the world if not for him. A bit over the top, too but our president did say that.

I just watched only 2 candidates on a question and answer "debate". Obviusly the other candidates do not have any good ideas whatsoever. If they had a lot more money to spend on TV would their ideas have been worth of being discussed?

I happened to see an internet article about Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. He's taking time off from his campaign to do a 100 mile mountain bike race. Kind of interesting from a personal standpoint.

I obviously can't depend on the national media for info. They only cover where the money goes. What else do you Y/A folks know about him?

I find the idea of bureaucrats protecting us a little far fetched.

What have we gotten for our $360 billion?

That's about $1,200 for every man, woman and child in the country.

I hope I am wrong about HLD. Come on. Help me see the positive on this issue.

A solar panel

A Chevy Volt

General electric stock

Or if conservatives win the next election

A gun

Government bonds

Wall Street Bank stock

Now that the commerce clause applies to your wallet, the sky is the limit. This new found Federal pocketbook power is not going to help you or me but will make certain select companies richer for sure.

Who in Congress is a right wing extremist?

What has Congress ever done except muddle along and pass bills that put money in the pockets of big corporations, big unions and big banks?

Have they been doing this right wing conservatiove extremist stuff in secret?

Really? These two are the best? It would make me feel much better if someone could say something positive about selecting these two guys out of millions of citizens.

i have read this phrase many times on Y/A answers. Certainly you can force submission. You can intimidate to require compliance. You can lie and mislead but none of these actions can "force" an idea into someone's head.

So what exactly is "forcing ideas on others"? Surely it is more than just someone stating their beliefs.

If they actually printed it, would we have a paper shortage, too? The largest circulated currency is the $100 bill. How tall is a trillion dollars in hundreds?

I just found a link that explains it all in less than 3 minutes. Entertaining but scary to think about.

J Paul Guyer wrote a 20 page article on state and federal policy making. He said,"Do not waste time trying to influence public policy makers with logical arguments.".

(My comment) OK. So loose the cause and effect argument. Deep 6 the logic and good of mankind stuff.

He continued to say, "Instead, . . . facilitate ... re-election, re-appointment or election/appointment to a higher office."

This explains a lot to me. As much as I cringe when I write this. I think he is right.

What's your opinion?

I was really interested in the Army/Navy game until a neutral zone infraction or its college rules equivalent was called at the end. Why was this seemingly stupid rule added?

Neutral zone? What is this Star Trek?

What's wrong with the old offsides rule? And how can a defensive player cause an offensive player to move. I guarantee you that Lombardi's Packers, Shula's Dolphins or Laundry's Cowboys did not flinch when the defense jumped at them.

Do I need to update my attitude? Is anyone else irritated by this and other new rules?

An election was scheduled in September. Then Mubarak was overthrown but we were assured that the election would be held as planned. In September the election was put off until October. Now October is gone and the election is scheduled for the end of the month.

What's really going on?

I go an interesting answer 5 months ago when i asked this question. (See link)

I hope to get more insightful answers.

It's my understanding that the Constitution is supposed to be the basis for the Rule of Law in the USA. I am not aware that the Constitution has any penalty clauses.

This appears to have become a problem since past elected leaders who swore to uphold the Constitution haven't been serious about that. Does this appear to be a problem to you? Am i missing something?

What all this recent fascination with the 1990's?

Who was president back then anyway?

Are we going to relive the 1990's stories about improprieties in the White House?
