Very well said. One would think of the information age as a way to start better communicating which should break down barriers. But it seems we can just more easily flock to the people who think like we do. So we have more strongly cement

Thanks for your thoughts. Raising the mindshare sounds like they are just doing a public service out of the goodness of their heart. But you are right, it can't hurt them in the court of public opinion.

Yeah, this is bizarre to me. Kind of like adding an mp3 player to a word processor. Toothpaste has a purpose. If you want caffeine have coffee, tea, Red Bull, 5 hour energy, Monster, expresso beans, caffeine gum, or one of the million oth

Wish people (especially scientist) would just stick to the facts. In the McDonald's case people were not "angry at this woman for not being a full-time mom". They were angry that the child was left alone. No one has a problem

Yes you are supposed to buy insurance (though many just take the penalty). Many Obamacare plans are pretty crappy with low max pay outs. It drives me crazy when people don't read the plans they are buying. My plan has a huge deductib

Yep. This is like two parents. One is scolding a child for doing something wrong. The other parent goes to the child and says, "come on, lets go to Chuck E Cheese". It's undermining the authority figure. How much do you thi

"Facebook is dead to us but we use it for X,Y, and Z." I found this kinda funny. Obviously it's not dead to you if you use it for a variety of purposes. Seems like friends I have with teenage kids are mostly on Facebook. N

That's the feedback I got from a German co-worker when I was working in Silicon Valley. In Germany they just work 8 hours. But it's all heads down working. In the US we screw around (talking, surfing the web, etc) much more. Bu

Yes, all believe they Iraq had an ongoing chemical and nuclear weapons program (remember the attempt to send in inspectors). Not all agreed to going to war, but consensus they had some pretty nasty weapons.
