Libertarians tend to take potential solutions to the extreme, but seldom is anything so ideologically pure. Still, the idea that government can protect people from themselves is a noxious one. Drug legalization is an attractive one for t

I think most of them do. That's why I would first try diuretics. If that's not enough, try the other ones.

Sometimes you can lower blood pressure with alternatives, like diet, excercise or relaxation techniques. Sometimes a simple diuretic can do the trick. I've heard many doctors say a diuretic should always be tried first. It's al

I don't think anyone is truly shocked by the notion that Twitter is over-staffed with a lot of fat it can cut. They were not exactly employing a lot of "builders", as they had not updated any new features for quite some time

I think women benefit when they raise the standards on who they decide to sleep with. Women are pretty good at that when they want to, and men tend to benefit when women hold them to a higher standard.

I completely understand your point. But you also have to realize that belief is also a choice, not just a factual agreement on reality. It may surprise you to learn that many of those church attendees are not 100% in agreement. They too
