We need to stop pretending that when two consenting adults enter into a legally binding marriage/civil union contract, the government confers some kind of spiritual blessing or moral approval.
Regardless of my views on the morality of homosexual intercourse, as a straight married Christian, the rights of two men or two women to enter into a legally binding contract do not cheapen or jeopardize my marriage or my family in any way.
Had McCain been president, IN HIS OWN WORDS, he wouldn't have acted on the intelligence without the cooperation of the Pakistani government. In fact, IN HIS OWN WORDS, he felt Obama was foolish and naive in thinking our military should do something like that.
Based on what McCain was saying while campaigning in 2008, if he had been elected, bin Laden would still be enjoying his protection in Pakistan.
"The use of this issue to suggest a political opponent would not have done the same is disgusting and below the dignity of the President of the United States."
Really?
In 2008, Republican opponent John McCain bashed Obama repeatedly for stating that he would act on intelligence to capture or kill Bin Laden in Pakistan even if the Pakistani government was unwilling to work with us.
Face it - if you voted for McCain in 2008, you voted for someone who was explicitly saying that acting in Pakistan without their cooperation is foolish and naive.
simply put, companies that make piles of money from harvesting natural resources (or anything else) should be held financially accountable for the damage they cause. if it means they go out of business, so be it. better than residents/taxpayers footing the bill for the damages.
further, our elected officials should be protecting us from the effects of these companies rather than acting as cheerleaders for their unchecked, reckless behavior.
there were virtually no seismic events in the area for about 10 years, and now we've had 11 within one year with the same epicenter, which just happens to be the brine injection well.

Mother of Warren autistic boy reports second harassment complaint
@danikytn:
those options cost money.
the parents should be able to rely on their school administrators and faculty to keep things in line and prevent these incidents.
if it's not resolved soon, they should sue the district for the cost of attending a school that is actually attentive to his education and safety.

Year later, bin Laden killing remains a decision to behold
Obama hasn't done (A) that he said he would do, therefore McCain would have done (B) that he said he wouldn't do.

UPDATE: State bans injection wells within 5 miles of Youngstown site
valleymom:
it depends on the geology of the specific site.
there were virtually no seismic events in the area for about 10 years, and now we've had 11 within one year with the same epicenter, which just happens to be the brine injection well.
that's more than enough proof.
