Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent-Facebook should be penalized in some way for not filtering this sort of content, which has been going on for entirely too long.

Are schools teaching kids the skills they need to succeed?
Sheffield, Jamaica Correspondent-That's actually a good question. I'd like to think that I didn't turn out bad, but I wouldn't attribute my accomplishments to the skills I acquired at school. Success is viewed differently, depending on the individuals involved. Success, for me at least, is not dependent on the height of my bank account, the … Continue reading Are schools teaching kids the skills they need to succeed?
The mayor and city council of New Orleans have called for the removal of various Civil War era monuments in the city. Should this have been allowed to happen, and should the citizens of New Orleans have had a voice in the decision?
From our Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent This kind of critical circumventing of history concerning New Orleans and other cities should have never been allowed to happen, and the citizens of New Orleans and other places were certainly not all for it. The mayor and city council members of New Orleans and other liberals throughout the … Continue reading The mayor and city council of New Orleans have called for the removal of various Civil War era monuments in the city.

Climate Change vs. Global Warming. What’s the Difference?
From our Owatonna, MN Correspondent For years, scientists decried our use of fossil fuels over the past century as being a chief cause (sometimes the only cause) of Global Warming (GW).

Should Grafitti be considered art?
Gastonia, NC Correspondent-Back in the late ‘70s, when I was growing up in Philadelphia, I had an eccentric aunt who lived in New Jersey but kept an apartment in Greenwich Village. She would periodically send me postcards and packages that were emblematic of the freewheeling and sometimes downright odd nature of the community in the … Continue reading Should Grafitti be considered art?
Why is the generational wave of telecommuters not moving to rural areas?
Gastonia, NC Correspondent-As a telecommuter for the last 17 years, I think I can offer some perspective on this question. While the idea of a house out in the woods or surrounded by a few acres of pasture or farmland is at times appealing, in the end it’s just not for me, and likely wouldn’t … Continue reading Why is the generational wave of telecommuters not moving to rural areas?

Should there be a statute of limitations on filing a rape charge?
Should the federal government run health care clinics and hospitals for anyone receiving government sponsored healthcare (Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare)? Young doctors out of med school could be offered employment and reduction in student loans for working in the government run facilities. Will this help reform healthcare in America?
Sheffield, Jamaica Correspondent-I’m not trying to reveal the pessimist that I am, but irrespective of who or what control the healthcare facilities of the day, we will still get sick and die. I need sickness gone permanently! Now that’s out of the way, for the sake of fostering a peaceful debate and accommodate the many … Continue reading Should the federal government run health care clinics and hospitals for anyone receiving government sponsored healthcare (Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare)?

Bill Gates recently called for a tax on robots that take jobs from humans. Does this proposal have merit?
Owatonna, MN Correspondent- Taxing robots certainly has merit for the government, which relies on taxing humans to feed its spending addiction. It's presumed a corporation that employs robots will be responsible for paying the robot tax. How will that be assessed if robots don't receive compensation similar to what human employees receive? Should it be … Continue reading Bill Gates recently called for a tax on robots that take jobs from humans. Does this proposal have merit?
