  • Taking From the Rich and Giving to the Poor

    I was listening to a clip from 1998 where President Obama said he believed in “redistribution of wealth.”  Here is the link:  Link

    Redistribution of wealth would mean taking from the rich and the regular people and giving it to the poor or those who just don’t want to work.
    Do you think we should take from the rich and give to the poor?
                                                                                
  • Facebook Friends

    One situation that I find myself in with my facebook site is that recently I am coming across old friends from high school. 

    I noticed my brother in law was friends with a woman that I knew.  I almost instinctively sent her a friend request.  Then I remembered that I actually dated her in high school and my wife might find it offensive that I friend request her on facebook.

    Would you friend an ex on facebook?
                                                       
                                   

  • Coed Showers

    I was reading an article about coed showers at MIT.  You are not really in the same shower but as you can see in this photo, the showers are right next to each other and there is a small curtain to help you keep your privacy.  Here is the link:  Link

    I have heard people say that this arrangement would freak them out and others say it is no big deal.

    Would it bother you to use a coed shower?

                                                                                      

  • Kate Topless

    The wife of Prince William is embarrassed as topless photos of her were published on several websites and released in a few newspapers.  (I think she was warming up for my Save the Boobs campaign).

    She was in a private area.  The photos were taken from a distance and over a fence.  Here is the link:  Link

    Some are saying her privacy was violated.

    Was Kate’s privacy violated?

  • Teacher’s Strike in Chicago

    I want to stand with the teachers who are on strike in Chicago. 

    Sure there are 400,000 students out of school.  But most people don’t realize that the average teacher in Chicago only makes $71,200 a year.  They also only get three months off during the Summer.  Here is the link:  Link

    In recent days, it has been suggested that teachers be held to some sort of standard for what students learn.

    Do you think it is appropriate for the teachers to strike?

                                                                       

  • 9/11

    I was talking to a person today and she said that she was sick of the 9/11 coverage.  She said it happens every year starting a few days before.

    We also have all of the 9/11 posts.

    Is it time to stop posting about 9/11?

                                                                                   

  • Smart Enough for School

    My oldest and I were discussing school and he mentioned that school just did not come easy for him.  I noticed that school is easy for some and for others it is a challenge.

    There were challenges in school and then graduate school but I always felt that the average person with average intelligence could pass every class if they just gave enough effort.

    Did you think school was easy?
