    The general decline in standards today

    Yes, there has been a decline. Vulgarities, spelled out in full and pictured, are the norm. That wasn't true in the 60s.

    My life gets better every year. I have aches and pains and I need glasses but it was the same in my 20s.

    Oh please keep them off of the road. I know how hard it is. I have gone through it with my grandparents in the past. Wishing you the best.

    The general decline in standards today

    When I read that article, my thinking was more along the lines of the decline in standards of mainstream media using sexually explicit terminology, as well as making it seem commonplace. All it is is one Brooklyn neighborhood. Sensationalism.

    I believe that "illegal" and "reasonable" aren't compatible in the courts. In other words, no matter how much sense an action makes, or lives an action could save, if it's illegal according to the books, no one is above the law. Anyway, my point is that some states have crazy laws that go...

    Aurora, Colorado already has strict gun control laws on the books that make it: • Illegal to carry a concealed weapon, even if you're a law-abiding citizen. • Illegal to discharge a firearm in public unless you are a peace officer. Thus, any person who would have shot James Holmes and...

    Worldwide food prices are expected to soar as the U.S. experiences its worst drought in more than 50 years “Currently, almost 61 percent of the country (not including Alaska and Hawaii) is in drought, compared to 29 percent a year ago,” Brian Fuchs, a climatologist at the National Drought...

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    Or we, as a society, can start an open discussion about how we can make a difference on an individual level and collectively.

    Do you think there could be a second Great Depression?

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The ranks of America's poor are on track to climb to levels unseen in nearly half a century, erasing gains from the war on poverty in the 1960s amid a weak economy and fraying government safety net...

    Thank you and of course I see your point. I'm with you. I just didn't know if the courts would be, too.
