The World Economy: FIX IT ALL
To the Editor: We sit at the table of crisis but also at the table of opportunity. Clearly we must bail out the mistakes of “Wall Street”. Let’s fix it all for good. One Trillion dollars for stabilizing the markets…why stop there? How about printing TEN TRILLION DOLLARS and shipping all of those dollars to [...]
Capitalism vs. Socialism – Why not have both?
To the Editor: We can have peace in our lifetime if we all do our part. This must be a partnership of every individual, non-profit organization, corporation, and government – all working together to bring the basic needs to all of humanity. It is time for humanity to grow up. Our “Identity Crisis” is ridiculous. [...]
Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize?
To the Editor: WHY did Obama win the peace prize? What is it that he has done as president in NINE months? Despite less than one year in office and leading two wars, President Obama snatched the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, stunning the world one week after failing to win an Olympic bid [...]
The Creation of Palestine – Barack Obama’s Checkmate
To the Editor: It has long been asserted that US President Obama is Muslim by faith and ‘Christian’ by political necessity. It is no secret that if he ran openly as a Muslim candidate that he would not have won the US election, but in the current media controlled debate he could continually deny his [...]
Democracy in the Middle East – Why This is a Frightening Prospect For Its Rulers
It’s no secret that today the Middle East lacks the democratic political past, high literacy rates and high standards of living to claim democracy as its main political system. The political and economic reforms that occurred in Central and Eastern Europe or in East Asia and stimulated democratic change cannot be compared to the authoritarian Arab leaders in the majority of the Arab countries.

Health Insurance Companies Switch Support To Republicans
To the Editor: For the 2010 election season, industries have ramped up their political campaign contributions–hoping to also ramp up their influence. This year, lobbying group America’s Health Insurance Plans, as well as the five largest health insurance companies, have given three times as much money to Republican candidates for the Senate and the House [...]

Stand Up to the Republicans!
To the Editor: My recent writings have focused on the problems in the health care system and why the Democrats don’t seem to be making things any better. It seems that despite their large majority and control in both houses of Congress and the White House have not given them the courage to push for [...]

Moratorium on drilling in the Gulf
The moratorium on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a long time! Thousands of people depend on that industry and are sitting idle while the government in Washington is trying to make up its mind. These people don’t want more unimployment checks-they want to get back to [...]

Leave the police & firemen alone!
I have been following the news concerning the state’s budget crisis. It saddens me that they are actually considering eliminating some of the Police Force, and Fire Department’s. What will our state be like if they do this? Those brave men who make us safe? I have the utmost respect and confidence in the Police [...]

U.S. Budget: Dissecting the Deficit
To the Editor: We hear about the problems of U.S. government debt and deficits all the time. In an election year, politicians make claims about how they will work to solve these problems while keeping benefits in place and leaving taxes low. In reality, solving the budget deficit will require painful tradeoffs that are politically [...]
