China will not let Tibet become independent, but that doesn't mean that a Chinese report identity theft will replace the Tibetan one. I think the Dalai Lama's decision is a good one and that he is doing it in attempt to give Tibetans a stronger voice in their national identity, but as the article states, China will attempt to use this as an opportunity to undermine the Tibetan identity. It is unclear how much influence Read More...

Yeah that is right Peggy - it is all about love. Cue John Lennon. Play a little Air supply and all will be well the children will be fine.....good grief. Dalrymple is more accurate. It is a cultural decline brought about by the destruction of JC culture, common sense and individualism. Britain is a nation of ninnies, the multi-cult, globaloneywarming and a general psychosis. Why the bad surprise that its largest city goes Read More...

Very long time not reading this kind of news! Probably I visited a Hong Kong newspapers recently. And they drop the news in online version of WSJ. I like the rational folks there though I do have channel to go back there to work. Let the corporate bond demand to determine interest rate is a better tool than officials to handle interest rate adjustment. Second, build more trust between foreign bankers is a good idea. No Read More...

We can all be excited about these new technologies, but until SIXTY SIX PERCENT percentage of obese americans our population isn't obese, and 10% morbidly obese (greater than 100 pounds overweight), our country will NEVER be healthier. And 15% still smoke. And where is our Surgeon General during this? No one knows. She should be out giving speeches every day, on TV doing commercials, on every news show that will have her, Read More...

If all the money which has been spent on arresting, prosecuting, and incarcerating people for smoking marijuana crimes had instead been spent on more officers watching for people driving erratically, then I wonder how many people who are dead or crippled would be leading healthy lives today. From my experience alcohol impairs motor coordination much worse than marijuana. If all the people who are driving around drunk were Read More...

Whether or not the AMA is a valid, respected organization, I think the advice of the AMA is sound. The reason is, there are plenty of doctors who don't know what they're talking about (outside of medicine), but their patients are inclined to trust them. I don't mean to say only doctors can have mis-informed opinions... anyone can. But the doctor-patient relationship advice for women is different than, say, two guys sitting Read More...

Don't worry about the technicality of a default, James. Worry about the credit card default rating that will be lowered if they deem us to be defaulting......which is not paying ANY bill, not just to bondholders. So, if the Dept of Agriculture has to suspend operations or the EPA has tto close their offices, our credit rating is likely to fall. Why should the world think this will not happen again? Getting it back to AAA Read More...

Devastating in its completeness and accuracy. The perceived success of a presidency tends to correlate to the peace and prosperity of the country, so despite the fact that I did not vote for Pres. Obama, I hoped for for his success. But that moment is gone. Pres. Obama is not 'the One' who can lead us out of this mess. He should announce he will not run again and then work toward a fiscal solution without fear of success Read More...

Okay Mr. Feinberg, if you insist. How about you, as the nation's pay czar, mandate that your boss, his administration, and the entirety of congress be compensated according to performance as well? And demand they all submit to you for approval of their generous perks? And you then be held accountable to a civilian panel. Actions speak louder than words of inspiration pal, and your words are the equivalent of what comes Read More...

Our money already is devalued to the point that has little purchasing power in terms of big ticket items. When I was a kid the adults used to buy and sell perfectly serviceable houses for 5 - 10 thousand dollars. No mansions, but serviceable. My first car ('57 Ford Fodor) was old, but it cost $50 and ran, poorly, for a year. Food was cheaper, water and land too. As then, people need food, shelter and transport. But spending Read More...
