  • Yes Nancy we should view home ownership as just that...not as a way to make a quick buck. We cry about slimy dishonest politicians, but few of us have behaved in the past, leading up to this crisis in a manner befitting the words: honor, integrity, modesty, humility etc.

  • Hey! forget about Iraq and Afghanistan...we just got there. Why are we still in Germany, Italy and Japan? Why are we wasting our tax dollars in the economies of these countries? Iraq requires the rule of a single leader.

  • Drugs and many other things are illegal in this country. Making guns illegal will not stop gun violence. Most gun violence is done by those with illegal guns! Criminals are already carrying guns illegally, especially since most of the guns are stolen.

  • Sorry Mick if you make drugs illegal the gangs and cartels will simply invent something that IS illegal. Additionally, the popular opinion that taxing drugs will bring revenue is false. Inorder to ensure taxation you have to enforce the law. That means more police.

  • MDSJ. The bible speaks of the man as the head of the household. However, the role of women in the bible is a very strong role. Biblical women were not weak serfs. Also, remember that "work" in ancient times had little in common with work today. House work back then would be hard for most men today.
