There aren't many issues that can unite Republicans and Democrats in an election year, but a new national poll seems to have found at least one: conservation.

In this video/article he goes over how the internet such as facebook, google, and news websites are selectivly picking out what it thinks you are looking for. He did a study and had 2 of his friends search the same thing and they both got different results. I agree with what he thinks and beleives, but I believe it changes with what you look up most.

Introducing other voices into government will produce the fastest possible fixes to everything that ails our nation. That said, the other method of voting not suggested hear is called the Single Transferable Vote system. Let's say you really like and wish to vote for a third party candidate, but you are afraid that like conventional wisdom says, you will be throwing away your vote. Under this system, you would put a '1' next to the third party candidate's name, and a '2' next to the name of your next choice, a '3" next to the name of your third choice. If your first choice does not win a majority, that vote is changed to your 2nd choice candidate, and so on until a majority is reached. If no one reaches a majority, you would enter a run-off election with anyone receiving over 20% of first choice votes. This would give people the courage to vote for third party candidates without worrying about throwing their vote away. Just a thought.

Staying out of a raging national debate over guns, the Supreme Court on Monday declined to weigh in on whether gun owners have a constitutional right to carry handguns outside the home.
The court decided not to hear a challenge to a New York state law that requires those who want to carry a concealed handgun to show they have a special reason before they can get a license. Via Thomas Schmeling Delete the scoop?

I don't live there anymore or his vote would be suffering more. I voted for him often in my younger days. I think we've both changed a lot since then. I grew a bigger heart and mind. He grew a bigger head then it appears failed to fill it with anything other than himself. I will say this it is hard to stay great when you must acquire so many millions and really billions to hold your job. Most likely you have to have something to sale to someone that you can make parting with those funds worth the investment and that leads to bad business on both sides of that fence and poor government for the rest of us. Time has come for all of us to wake up, pay attention as broadly as we can and weigh in on the things that matter. With our voices and our dollars we can counter the self interest of those that lay their bets down. We might want to think of who to write in on the ballot though just in case the game is as it appears.....Rigged on the choices listed on the ballet. Often it feels like those running are prepaid cell plans and none of us can use them because we are not on the account and weren't given a password. Delete the scoop?

This is a topic worth thinking about. I don't remember the part about individual rates lowered to 25%, but I do remeber hearing that is a push from and for the corporate side that would tempt them to stop off shoring their money. I'm not sure why we have allowed them to offshore their profits untaxed and hold American business charters or haven't auctioned off their assets in the USA for such a practice. Maybe we should also put that on the table. Delete the scoop?

This article is by far one of the wierdest articles I have read. It is about a sex ed class having to do some radical stuff such as 2 girls kissing or learing sexual termnology. This is very interesting you should definently take the time to read it.

The gun safety battle is a very good way to split hairs and get a lot of press for politicians. Brings back memories of plausable deniablity or promise them anything. Fear factors aside, there are solutions to this, but money not the NRA rule the day.Another word for the money is Profits. Delete the scoop?
