I do not see Democracy (or a Democratic Republic for more accuracy) being far removed from one another. Most people I hear talk about this seem to view freedom on a linear continuum with Democracy being most free and Totalitarianism being most opressive. I purpose a circular continuum, wherin...

Why do we let the state determine what marriage is and who can get married? Why should the state create incentives, in the way of tax breaks, for those who comply with their definition of marriage, and why is it allowed? If marriage where sanctioned only by the church and the individuals who...

It seems to me as if voting, and the political process in general has become like a big sporting event. We pick a team and no matter what that team does we cry foul on the other team. If you are a Republican eight years of agression by Bush was ok, but any agression by Obama is out of bounds and...

Why when we have an opressive government that is always meddling in our affairs, do citizens find it incumbent to meddle in the affairs of others? Why do people constant trample and support the trampling of others rights and then complain when they find they have no rights? A case.of this is say...

What would the world look like today if Truman had allowed Japan to surrender instead of killing 160,000+ of their citizens with Openheimer's new toy?

If not why not, and may I at least exclude some or give preferential trwatment to others based on my likes, desires, and or beliefs? And to add to that what requirement is there for certian people to...

Why will Christians vote to put all of our nations resources at the disposal of criminals like Bush and Romney, just because they claim to be anti-abortion and pro-religion, yet they don't want to give a couple bucks to a bum on the corner because he might spend it irresponsibly. I am deeply...

In a society where we have a Police State to control us, and clean up after the crimes the criminals commit, is there any purpose for the citizenry having guns. In a society where ammonia is mixed with beef and chicken in the processing to form a delicious and edible meat slurry, do we need to...

If a business, action on some notion of national patriotism, fails to move its headquarters to a more tax friendly locale than the U.S.A., is that business acting in the best interest of me aka... the consumer?

The tragic murder of a street vendor by NYPD really puts this at the forefront. Should we treat killer cops worse than common killers or give them a pass as so often happens here in amerika?

Does anyone feel that in the United States (the largest incarcerater in the world) that our prisoners deserve better living conditions, access to competent legal representation, and just overall treatment as humans and not animals? They may get out of prison one day would you want a rabid dog...

I see arguments for legislating all kinds of things, from seatbelt usage to what size of soft drink you can purchase. Does the fact that people don't like someone else's behavior, or find that it may through some convoluted resoning effect their life in some miniscule way, give them the right...

Why do Christians have such a hard time with people coming into this country from other countries?
