Eminem has potty mouth disease, that's true, but he is a sign of the times. Frankly, Eminem deserves more admiration than scorn. He grew up during the time when you Boomers were cheering the disintegration of the American family and dismantling most of the other stabilizing social institutions.A drug addict for a mother, a ? for a father, and yet he took life's lemons and made lemonade. He sings

I just saw this question posed on eHarmony, so I thought I would pose the same question here. I think this is an interesting question - and obviously, in reality, each man will most likely have a different take on the subject.Although, if you asked women the question:Do women want to marry successful men?90% would say yes and the other 10% would be lying. So, if you happen upon this page, and

Since I have lived in Germany for a number of years, I thought maybe I should offer up a few thoughts about the pros and cons of both systems.First off, let me say that I think that many of the conservatives, who I agree with in many other areas, are completely off the mark when it comes to healthcare. If there is anything worth saving about our current system, I wouldn't know what it is.We have

Feminists often cite the disparity of earnings between men and women as evidence of sexism. It occurred to me that one might (and I say might because I don't know the answer) find that the pay gap reflects a conservative life strategy rather than actual discrimination.Huh?Consider a business with two employees, Jack and Jill. Jack and Jill do the same work, but Jack makes 25% more than

Yup, here I am again, yacking about politics - I made the mistake of buying a newspaper and thus lost my blissful ignorance of the many ways those idiots in Sacramento are killing my state.

It irritates me that many people cast President Obama as some sort of socialist in sheep's clothing. Maybe I am missing something, but whenever I listen to what the President says on a given topic, I have a hard time finding fault with what he is saying. He comes across as a very sober, rational person - in stark contrast to some of his critics - specifically Rush Limbaugh and the Sean Hannity,

Back in the fall of 2007 I went to hear a guy named Barack Obama speak at the Santa Barbara City College. I liked what he had to say, and was very impressed by him. I donated money to his campaign, and voted for him.I am vaguely aware that the nasty name calling, polarized accusation mill is still churning, I hear both left and right say horrendous things about the other, but I figure none of

Mea Culpa. I must confess I voted for Schwarzenegger. I heard on the radio that he is talking about cutting programs like CalWorks and medical assistance to the disabled.

The CalWorks program, for example, is an assistance program that is only
