Most revoluti hate my bossons, unfortunately, end badly. I hope the Libyan people have a real democracy but already we see signs of an Islamic state. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. The Arab Spring has pretty much fizzled. Obama has done nothing to aid the Egyptians such as sending in NGOs that know how to run free elections and create a real democracy where freedom prevails and there is a civll society. I suspect Egypt is More

I respectfully disagree. All parts of the budget should be on the table, including defense. You mention all the bloat in the department, and that's where we have to cut. I have a plan for balancing the US budget today, not in ten years, and how to get over a breakup to get the economy moving again. It's all in writing, and easy to access. Even with my cuts, the defense department would get almost a half trillion per year. If we can't More

Companies should be careful about freezing their employee engagement surveys� salaries in response to less than desirable financial performance; this strategy just might backfire. The Kenexa High Performance Institute surveyed over 700 non-union manufacturing employees and found they were twice as likely to seriously consider leaving their organizations when a pay freeze had been implemented in the last 12 months. But can More

Adil, you have it right my friend. And Indians, on the other side of the border, have the same problems more or less. I always find it odd when Indians and Pakistanis begin expressing superiority over one another. Its like two mendicants arguing over who has the superior hovel. Both have hovels. Its not even hard -- it will take a generation, but if people on both sides could be brought up thinking of the other side as a friend with More

It is the opinion of this observer that the biggest job-killer in this economy is the Payroll Tax. A 15.3% tax on labor can make the difference between whether somebody is self employed tax calculator or unemployed. Consequently, there are probably many people doing jobs every day that are not paying the Payroll Tax. If it was incorporated into the price of the job, in many cases there wouldn�t be any job at all. Is the NATION More

I know that most people who make minimum wage, the people who do all the hard, dirty work -- the janihow to meet new peoplers, waitresses -- etc. probably don't read the WSJ because they're too busy working multiple jobs just to make ends meet. They don't have the means to make special arrangements for retirement and their parents don't either because they are all struggling on a day to day basis. They can offer their parents nothing More

No way! Women tend to divorced more than twice, like serial killer kill more than two. Oh, they an divorce and leave with nothing but whatever they won only on their own, babies are not part of that because the semen is not theirs. Then, we?ll see how many women divorce always more than twice: It is a great business casual for women for them, the rest of us shouldn't pay for their monopoly. At least in Spain, women divorcing is the More

Robert, I love is gone history probably as much as you do and in some aspects, the world was better. However, on many other issues, we have come a long way and we are all better for it. Maybe the stories my grandparents told me when I was growing up, as they pointed out both the good and the bad, were different than the ones yours told you. Just because one loves the past does not mean they should try to live in it. America is and More

Washington is addicted to money and this addiction relapse will follow the pattern/steps of every other. Here are the steps: 1. Admitting that one cannot control one's addiction or compulsion; 2. Recognizing a higher power that can give strength; 3. Examining past errors with the help of a sponsor (experienced member); 4. Making amends for these errors; 5. Learning to live a new life with a new code of behavior; 6. Helping others who More

Gates like too many other people do not understand what the real problems are. They are addressing mostly the stress symptoms in women. I spent 40 years working in auditing. The hardest problem I had was my staff who were educated by the liberal universities. I kept telling them when they find what they consider a problem look for the cause(s). Virtually all could only see the symptoms and argued vigorously this would solve the problem. More
