Once upon a time in America

The family of a 17-year-old leukemia patient has sued health insurance giant Cigna Corp. for her death in 2007 after the company initially refused to pay for a liver transplant.
The lawsuit filed last week in Los Angeles County Superior Court by the family’s attorney, Mark Geragos, alleges breach of contract, unfair business practices and intentional [...]

See what others’ have said…

Just reading the comments sections at various blogs we have been amazed at the amount of ‘rights talk’ and how many references have been made to no less than seven different ‘rights issues’  being mentioned. The following is a list of those alleged rights that have been either abused or violated.
Legal rights, Equal rights, Inalienable [...]

The Realities of Same-sex marriage

Civil unions are an inadequate substitute for marriage. Creating a separate, new legal structure to confer some benefits on same-sex couples neither honors American ideals of fairness, nor does it grant true equality. The results are clearly visible in New Jersey, which continues to deny same-sex couples some of the tangible civil benefits that come [...]

Enforcement takes cooperation

Cooperation amongst law enforcement agencies (LE) is a tantamount must if we have a hope of personal safety; moreover, it certainly could be argued that without the cooperation of LE pursuant to local, state, and federal laws we could indeed be putting an end to the United States.

We’ve been collecting notes, stories, and press reports about the ongoing saga of California’s Propostition 8 and more particular, Margie Christofferson, the manager of a renowned eatery called El Coyote in Los Angeles.
Margie Christoffersen didn’t make it very far into telling her side of the story before she cracked. Chest heaving, [...]

Clowns to the left, Jokers to the right…

 
I will try and be brief today; however, I do have the expressed intent of planting some seeds for thought about the American Way and just what the blazes is going on in this, the American Age?
Bank of America, Wachovia, Washington Mutual, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, Lehman Bros, and just about every other bank or investment banking company [...]

A Light-hearted story about…

What I learned

Well what do you know, it’s Friday and I’d like to keep it light-hearted today. I really would like to share a story of “Me and the Iranian Librarian” that by happenstance occured this past week.
In short I’d gone to the library to return some books (of course they were late!) I’d been reading preparing for an [...]

Compromise, Manipulation, or a Crock?

Today I happened upon a (I think) new blog called “TheLittleCog.” Actually I was attracted to the design and layout of the blog inasmuch as I have one very, very similar to it.

I have been struggling with this entire scenario for years now. Education and America’s youth are definitely issues that I write about more than any other issues.
I can’t explain it in its entirety, however, I will make an attempt at opening up this site and encouraging anyone and everyone to comment or participate.

The reality I’m [...]
