In that case, why is there no description of the car? An unknown car? What is that? The road at that location is a straight line, a very open country road. One would be able to see the vehicle for a great distance. This article really does not add up or make any sense to me. Either details are being withheld,...

Me? What did I expect? I expect it to be a stand alone (as in pay for it's self) insurance program for those that are not able to have a group plan from their employer. I was and still am opposed to the ACA. Since we had to pass it to see what is in it stage we have been flam boozled by the writers and all its su...

A child can be homeschooled and have plenty of outside socialization. There is nothing wrong with being homeschooled...a lot of very well rounded folks have homeshchooling backgrounds. Because your parent teaches you doesn't mean you just "hanging out with your mom all day." And with what's going on in shcools these d...

Organ harvesting.

Even renters pay taxes on property as well as the property taxes on owners occupied property. They pass it along. So no matter if you are to old to work and rent, property taxes are paid by renters.

Not all parents have the means or the desire to home-school their children. A lot of families these days rely on two incomes to make ends meet.

Part #1: The way the city manages the tax money it collects is really quite maddening. First, remember past tax increase initiatives.

Be watching. Republican politicians have every reason (in their minds) to make the private marketplace fail to make Obama look bad, even if the public pays the price. Keep pushing for single payer, keep pushing for a nationwide pool. Protect your health and that if your family, friends, and fellow residents.

On one hand I can agree with it being reasonable to not "force" people to buy insurance (other than liability).
