How can something that doesn't exist "have" anything?
Yes, we do pay more attention to experiences that have particular meaning to us. I think our tendancy to believe in something greater, as you...
My guess is that Lowry and his agent decided to hold out for a better offer in the summer. I just can't see how Lowry wouldn't be in Morey's...

So what about the hundreds of billions of dollars (not to mention the human cost) our government already spends securing our oil supply? Also,...
