Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL October 9, 2015 Gastonia, NC Correspondent-I’m going to go counter to a lot of my previously rather conservative views here and state that not only do we not need an “express lane” on Death Row, but we need to re-examine the use of the death penalty overall, especially for those … Continue reading Prisons Are Overcrowded And death Row Continues To Grow In Numbers; Which Costs Tax Payers Significant Funds To Maintain, Is It Time To Reform Policies On Death Row Inmates To Shorten The Amount Of Time Spent On Death Row?

Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL, October 8, 2015 Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent-Success these days needs to be viewed on a number of different levels, as it can be a hard thing to achieve if the right principles and plans are not in place.

In reference to the recent Ashley Madison hack: the subscribers names were released publicly, should illegally obtained information be allowed to be released publicly? What should be done?
Gastonia, NC Correspondent-I’m in the “media business” and an issue that is always at the forefront of our minds when we’re breaking a big story is sourcing. How many times have you seen BuzzFeed, TMZ or some other news-ish site “break” a sensational story that later turns out to be inaccurate, if not completely fabricated? … Continue reading In reference to the recent Ashley Madison hack: the subscribers names were released publicly, should illegally obtained information be allowed to be released publicly?

Many Publicly Traded Companies Organize ” Conferences” Or “Seminars” For Employees, Franchises, Etc. Is This An Appropriate Use Of Company Funds?
Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent-It seems that most publicly-traded companies such as American Express, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Time Warner, Viacom, and hundreds of other companies associated with the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, and NYSEMKT (formerly known as the American Stock Exchange), organize and offer conferences and seminars for their employees and others, with … Continue reading Many Publicly Traded Companies Organize ” Conferences” Or “Seminars” For Employees, Franchises, Etc.

Is it time to make English the official language of the United States? What could happen either way?
Gastonia, NC Correspondent-I surely don’t mind English becoming the official language of the United States, but we need to be sure to specify that it’s American English unless we want to start calling our car hoods “bonnets” and telling Tom Brady he can’t grab the ball with his hand unless he’s the goalie. An ancillary … Continue reading Is it time to make English the official language of the United States? What could happen either way?
What Do You Feel Is The Most Pressing Issue For Presidential Candidates In The Upcoming Election And Why?
Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL September 5, 2015 Gastonia, NC Correspondent-To my mind, the single most important issue facing any presidential candidate in the upcoming election is immigration, because it affects every other issue under consideration. Until we figure out a way to make our immigration policy into something approaching rationality, we’re going to continue … Continue reading What Do You Feel Is The Most Pressing Issue For Presidential Candidates In The Upcoming Election And Why?
Should There Be Regulation On Artificial Intelligence To Prevent a “Rise Of The Machines”?
Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL August 27, 2015 Gastonia, NC Correspondent-Hawking, Musk and Gates are really smart guys, and while I’m tempted to give them credit for foresight here and get behind efforts to “pre-regulate” artificial intelligence before Skynet comes on line and starts wiping us all out, I simply can’t bring myself to buy … Continue reading Should There Be Regulation On Artificial Intelligence To Prevent a “Rise Of The Machines”?
Is There Really A “War On Women” Or Is This Just a Media Driven Frenzy?
Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL August 20, 2015 Gastonia, NC Correspondent-So the question this week is one that any heterosexual man fears to answer, lest he displease the object of his affections or even the potential object of his affections. However, as I am unencumbered by any romantic entanglements at the moment and, by dint … Continue reading Is There Really A “War On Women” Or Is This Just a Media Driven Frenzy?
The GOP Debate Only Allows The Top 10 Candidates To Participate in The Main Event. Is This A Disservice To Voters?
Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL August 17, 2015 Asheville, NC Correspondent-In 2012, the GOP primary debates were a spectacle. A dozen candidates created a debate that was superficial and spectacle-driven. Speaking times were short, questions were shallow, and answers were light on substance. To avoid this, Fox News capped debate entries at 10 for the main event and … Continue reading The GOP Debate Only Allows The Top 10 Candidates To Participate in The Main Event.

In The Light Of Cecil, The Protected Lion In Zimbabwe, Being Shot And Killed By The American Dentist Walter Palmer, Do Laws Need To Change Regarding Trophy Hunting Or Hunting For Sport?
Myrtle Beach, SC, Orlando, FL August 11, 2015 Gastonia, NC Correspondent- The arguments in favor of continuing trophy hunting always come back to the fact that hunters support the societies where they hunt by buying permits, hiring guides and spending money on food, lodging and incidentals. This is silly. Yes, they buy permits (sometimes), but … Continue reading In The Light Of Cecil, The Protected Lion In Zimbabwe, Being Shot And Killed By The American Dentist Walter Palmer, Do Laws Need To Change Regarding Trophy Hunting Or Hunting For Sport?
