This is true for all groups, though: black, white, Asian, gay, Romani, Irish, Jewish, Catholic -- all of them. And it's a matter of degree. I'm pretty sure a white guy in Appalachia doesn't like being called a cracker (or may

The co-op I frequent in Vermont provides milk in glass bottles from various dairies. The bottles have significant deposits, but the most is $2. You return the bottle. You get the deposit back. They clean and reuse the same bottle, as is sho

Even if you forget what you've learned, having learned it once makes the acquisition faster the second time. Though really what matters most is wanting to learn it. The problem with most formal education is that you're taught stuf

But if you're going to buy a car you can rank your choices by how green they are. A Hummer is comparatively less green than most choices. A Tesla is comparatively more green, arguably. Regardless of whether you agree, that is one of th

Trump has pardoned far fewer people, but for the same reason the ratio of compassionate to corrupt pardons under Trump is much worse. Dozens of Trump's pardons had some direct benefit to him or his cronies. And among modern presidents
