You DON’T Understand
I recieved this email today from a dear family member. It makes me sad that these things are being passed around as some warped kind of truth. Let me see if I understand all this. IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU GET: A DRIVER'S LICENSE...

Is It Politically Correct to Ignore the Enemy Within?
Islamic Army psychiatrists who argue with their patients about the war on religious grounds are not fit to serve in the military or provide psychiatric counseling to US soldiers. (just my humble opinion) Islam is a world view as much as a religion. Multiculturalism is a crock. Political correctness is going to eventually put a Muslim in charge of a nuclear weapon or materials. (just my humble... (posted by Missing Link 2 years 202 days ago.)

Healthcare Debate: A Schoolyard Brawl
It is an interesting feature of the current health care debate that what we are actually debating is so ill-defined by both sides. Oh, both Democrats and Republicans both agree that health care needs a makeover, but that's about all they seem to have in common on the issue. Or do they? From where I sit there aren't enough details on either side to even make a comparison on their approaches. The lack of details is... (posted by Missing Link 2 years 291 days ago.)

We Sent Bill, Now Send Lisa Ling and Euna Lee a bill
OK, so it was a touching moment when the journalists returned from North Korea and the Lee woman got to hug her husband and her little girl. Yes, yes, yes all very heart warming. Where in all this hand-wringing and nose wiping is recognition of the fact that these two women crossed illegally into a hostile country's boundaries? Where is their sense of responsibility for doing that? Where is their sense... (posted by Missing Link 2 years 295 days ago.)

Freedom of Speech
Beware the dim-witted false patriots who ignorantly declare unpatriotic anyone who should dare to question critically any aspect of our country. It is a narrow, limited mind whose best argument is "Love it, or leave it". Our country was founded on freedom, freedom that most expressly protects the right to express ourselves. It is a curious paradox that people who declare someone unpatriotic for expressing a dissenting point of view... (posted by Missing Link 2 years 297 days ago.)

The Fallacy of More
It is an odd twist of capitalism that it breeds the idea that more is better. More money, more possessions, more of everything, but is this fundamental theory holding up in practice over time? Has the more mentality of capitalism and the push to acquire and the systemic inherent judgment of others and judgment of ourselves led us to a happier place? I believe it has led as most events and systems and judgments to unintended... (posted by Missing Link 2 years 301 days ago.)
