    Michael Jackson has a Heart Attack at 50

    My recollection is there was one extortion attempt after another(He's extremely wealthy). Most of the extortion attempts had nothing to do with child molestation. People see a man with a funny nose and freakishly pale skin and they join the crowd with the mob mentality. There's a lot of...

    Same-sex partners to get Fed Benefits

    Gay pride events make the public aware of the communities existence. It's also very brilliant in a way, because it's a bad PR move for the conservatives to ban a gay pride event because it's almost liking banning pride itself. When it comes to pride, I think it is more like freedom to be...

    Should government have control over internet in an emergency ?

    Government is not fit to control the Internet, cyber-Katrina or no cyber-Katrina. I'd rather see private industry and the open source community tackle the so-called threat.

    Why is it good to have consumers spend money...

    If I'm not mistaken, Bush at one point urged consumers to go out and spend money, in fact that was the whole intention of the stimulus package earlier this year. Since many consumers don't need a stimulus check, doesn't this cause people to go out and buy stuff that they don't really need? I...
