Lulu....siding with Cypressgirl for a bit....look at this graph about WHO PAYS TAXES. The point is....the system, while unweildy and horrible to deal with at times.....already taxes those that are capable of paying the most more. The "little" guy is getting the break already. http://img.vi...

Got to love this dialog...... Two quick comments. Jan and Mike (great to be from VA isn't) Having a day off to vote is stupid. Most hourly workers can't afford it and do not want to....Employers like you guys simply can’t afford the additional revenue loss at the moment....why would Obama call for a...

Let me echo what everyone else is telling you. I lived in Temple Texas (about 1.5 hours north of Austin up I35. I visited there often with my family for dinner, shopping etc. My corporate Headquarters is in Houston, and I get out there to various parts of Texas on business three four times a year. (...

In fact, it is so cold this morning I actually debated going down to the dinghy and getting the outboard off of it for the season.....but then I decided no...better wait.....might want to take a few more trips without moving the big boat...

Loria and Sox, I have to tell you both...I think the present administration is dead wrong about spending in science research. I hope that whoever wins moves the spending higher on both basic and applied research. Up until two years ago I was a Managing and/or Principal Scientist for Battelle Memoria...

Hey Lulu.....is that the official party stance? I think some of my acquaintances down here in VA think it actually is. (Yeah....I know....I have some real redneck acquaintances.....)

Soxfan...try this little experiment in your workplace. Walk up to a black man and say, "hey my boy!" (Then duck). Then, walk up to a different black man and say, "hey my man!" Report back with your findings. Pete, I live in Hampton VA. 50% black population. I can't tell you how ...
