I don't know how applicable the whopper example is. Buying a whopper is voluntary (and I know that saying that opens a can of worms regarding how criminal behavior is voluntary. I think we have to consider the stats of prevalence of crime in low-income areas, etc, but I realize that I'm resting...

First of all I disagree that that sort of monitoring would be beneficial. Is it on the car? If so, what if someone else borrows the car? Are they consenting to be monitored? If it's on their person, are we okay for violating personal privacy because of a traffic ticket? All of this seems really...

You're absolutely right that it isn't equal, but the law often appeals to what is equitable as opposed to strictly equal. Especially when you talk about deterrents, the wealthy would rarely receive any consequences in instances where a fine is appropriate. Consider sanctions against banks -...

I'm not sure what you mean by this - because you're talking about refugees, and when confronted with the fact that none of these attackers were refugees, the standard shifts to generations of both refugees AND immigrants, despite not presenting proof of either. Are you suggesting the UK or USA...

Hello, I don't come from a Catholic background, and would appreciate hearing some of the scriptures and church doctrine that outlines the immaculate conception. It's a topic of which I am fairly ignorant, and even the purpose of the doctrine (as I understand it) is probably off-base. Thank...

Here's a quote from an op-ed Betsy DeVos wrote in 1997: [M]y family is the largest single contributor of soft money to the national Republican party….I have decided, however, to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying influence. Now, I simply concede the point. We expect to...

After all of the discussion on Pres. Elect Trump's tax returns, he made a comment last week that "The only one that cares about my tax returns are the reporters... I don’t think they [the public] care at all.” A recent poll conducted on behalf of ABC news by Langer Research Associates found the...
