I think you are correct that Lincoln would have done as much or more than our current leaders if he had the current technology at the time, but he...
Lincoln was wrong to use the Civil War as an excuse to suspend habeas corpus and our leaders since 9/11 are wrong to have used 9/11 as an excuse...
I consider myself a libertarian and I think Lincoln was a good President. Some times the greater good requires some loss of freedom. However....
I am not saying Congress would pass such a law, but it would be fairer than the current situation. I agree that privately traded securities are...
I do not think that reasoning is persuasive with stock at this point. The administrator of the estate can find out the cost basis by contacting...

Thanks. I missed that second highlighted part.
I have not read through the whole thread, but the Chronicle stories reference her being hit in the torso. I think that makes it clear that the...
I would change the Italy part to 4 nights in Rome, 4 or 5 nights in Florence, and either zero or 1 night in Venice. Venice is spectacular, but...
One important rider is paying for it. A lot of dispute on that issue. Additionally, the other riders killed it. Boehner is most at fault, but...
Now that is not really correct. Both voted for a different plan. The House did pass a plan for a 1 year extension. The Senate passed a plan for...
