I tend to judge people poorly when they use bad grammar. Then again, one of the most brilliant guys I know regularly sends out email messages that are barely decipherable -- much less grammatically correct. In general, bad grammar makes a

Think about this. If you have too many doctors, they run out of sick people and their prices go down. They don't go out and start injuring people to make business for themselves. Lawyers do just that. If they don't have work, they can at

Of course. Quite the contrary, I believe that very few of your worldview values should need to be imposed by force. That's really a change of subject, though. You said "take responsibility". In our society today, "take responsibility" ha

Really, this kind of research points to the folly of the "everyone gets a trophy", "sheltering ego is most important in learning" school of thought. The every-day evidence of that folly litters the corpse of the American public education sy

Then why didn't this Tesla representative say so? Why didn't he say, "We have followed up with the source(s) of this story and been unable to find any instance of a need to replace all the battery cells in a so-called 'bricked' Tesla. All

Even worse, the government is RESPONSIBLE for destroying the American diet in the first place. So now this author's solution is what? More government. Unbelievable. The increase in useless glucose carbs over the last decades was the food
