Man's nature, I mean. I've read some amazing things going on in the science world. I'm sure Zendog sees it as the beginning of the Great Conspiracy to begin human experimentation, but as paranoid and cynical as I am I can't see it as bad.
They are finding molecules that fight viruses now. Imagine that! Antibiotics have been a dead end and everyone has known it, yet we haven't been able to turn away from the cliff. The drug companies love the fact that antibiotics gradually fail and…

I got an e-mail from the President this morning -- he keeps me up-to-date on his activities and thoughts, you know! Just have to share this, because I think it perfectly expresses what he's all about, and I'm so proud to be an American these days! I can't imagine how anyone can find fault with this letter, but I'm sure many will, not because of the content of the letter but because of their pre-conceived feelings about him. I'm putting it out there and hoping that it will be read with an open…

ACTUAL PACKAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. On Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping."
(But that's the only time I have to work on my hair!)
2. On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside."
(Evidently, the shoplifter special.)
3. On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(And how would that be?)
4. On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestions: Defrost."
(But it's just a…

I'm curious what people think. The Constitution had some clear ideas about it, all based on common sense requirements. The need to raise an army, deliver the mail. I would say that the whole document reeks of common sense.
But there really aren't any good "except" clauses. Like, "except when to do so would bankrupt the citizenry". There's no real limitations put in place on spending, only that laws must be made to levy new taxes. Much of law is tax law. New taxes, new levies make up…

If you have something positive to say....then I am all ears from now on! I refuse to listen to negative and hate filled diatribe that does no one any good. I am in no way saying that any one hear on TBD would be hate filled or constantly negative on purpose. What I am saying is I choose from now on to only respond to positive posts and participate only in fun filled, thought provoking dialog. That's what I enjoyed about TBD in the first place....how it made my heart feel good....too good at…

On May 30th of this year, my 54 year old brother died suddenly of a stroke. It's been five months to the day since he passed. When I think of him, I still get choked up. I'm not one to remember my dreams, but I've had three dreams about him since he left us. The first dream was very comforting. We were in a living room talking with lots of other people around, and he seemed well. My grandmother, also deceased, was there too, although she did not speak in the dream. I woke up feeling like Steve…

Is it over? A nice run it was. This must be similar to what people felt like in the Bay of Pigs. But there's no Russian bear to negotiate with. Obama's the new Kennedy, maybe he'll show some toughness to Iran.
Israel starts shooting and we'll have at least a Middle East disaster. How could we not get involved?
We don't start shooting and we have a nuclear Iran. I've read often that Israel is completely under the US's thumb. If true, it's unlikely Washington would bless an…

From my childhood years to middle age, I have been a solitary and lonely man. Repeatedly I have identified throughout my life with the miserable and the forlorn, and I have clung with a death grip to whatever person, place, or belief that seems the current answer to my anguished and ceaseless search for orientation and structure. Malcolm Lassman -- an individual of substance and good standing in the community of lawyers -- used to say to my sister: "He acts as if this is the only place he can…

I figured I should write a post about the music players in case no one opens Jumping Barracudas.
Please People...If you create players for the blogs set the sound on the players to off before you copy and post them. You will still be able to listen to them by pushing the play button.
When several people post their players to the blogs at the same time( then we pass over your players) they automatically play all at the same time, forcing us to have to pause all of them…

Beginning in the fall of 1985 I worked at the law firm of Hogan & Hartson in Washington, DC. At that time a law clerk named Glenn Fine worked at the firm. He was clearly a superior individual who has gone on to have an outstanding career in the law. I am proud to say that I worked in the same organization as he did.
The past few years have been some of the most tumultuous in the Justice Department's history. Nearly the entire department leadership resigned in a scandal over…
