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?
Can society ever lose its fear, distrust and apprehension about immigrants from different races, religions or ethnic groups?
Prescott Valley, AZ Correspondent-The only way that society will lose its fear, distrust and apprehension about immigrants from different races, religions or ethnic groups is when immigration laws for both legal and illegal immigrants are fully enforced and legal immigration is reduced to manageable numbers. Every government has an obligation and responsibility to its own … Continue reading Can society ever lose its fear, distrust and apprehension about immigrants from different races, religions or ethnic groups?
Is Football the ONLY sport worth watching?
From our Gastonia Correspondent I have a confession to make, brothers and sisters. I hope you’ll be able to forgive me for my perfidy, and that we can move forward forevermore. I am a man living in North Carolina, and I don’t give a fig about either NASCAR or college basketball. The thought of attending … Continue reading Is Football the ONLY sport worth watching?
Should women be given combat roles in the military and allowed to fight alongside men on the front lines?
Owatonna, MN Correspondent- Aside from Joan of Arc, Xena the Warrior Princess, and a handful of comic book and movie heroine warriors, females fighting on the front lines in a war was never considered until the rise of the modern feminist movement started in the 1970s. Women have gradually earned the right to join the … Continue reading Should women be given combat roles in the military and allowed to fight alongside men on the front lines?
Should minors be allowed to get tattoos (if they have parental permission)?
Owatonna, MN Correspondent-Tattoos are often considered "the poor man's art." They also express someone's personality, albeit in an unusual way. I am in favor of anyone being allowed to show their artistic side and to do what they choose to their body as long as it doesn't harm anyone else physically or financially (among other … Continue reading Should minors be allowed to get tattoos (if they have parental permission)?
Do Rapid-Fire Televsion Commercials and Programs Contribute to People’s Shortened Attention Spans?
From our Owatonna, MN Correspondent As I've aged, I've noticed it's harder for me to concentrate on things like reading a book or newspaper, or concentrating on one problem, thought, or idea for an extended period. Perhaps it's just my senior brain showing signs of aging. Perhaps it's due to my busy schedule and trying … Continue reading Do Rapid-Fire Televsion Commercials and Programs Contribute to People’s Shortened Attention Spans?

Many people oppose torture and they are upset that America might be reinstituting the practice as it was previously banned by the Obama administration. Should torture be put to use again by intelligence agencies?
Sheffield, Jamaica Correspondent-We all want to prevent mass destruction, terrorism, nuclear attacks, and whatever America fears. Preventing the aforementioned means having Intelligence at the right time. But how is this ‘Intelligence’ gathered? I’d say in more ways than one. Of late, America seemingly might be reincorporating or reinstituting the practice of torture. Surely, it was … Continue reading Many people oppose torture and they are upset that America might be reinstituting the practice as it was previously banned by the Obama administration.
