    Did the Founding Fathers get anything Wrong?

    Are you in favor of a mandatory retirement age for all three branches of the government?

    Maybe for judges. But for elected officials the public gets to weigh in at election time. The real problem is that elections are losing their meaningfulness for two reasons. 1. gerrymandering 2, the two party duopoly I'm not into these "solutions" like additional age and term limits that just...

    Do you agree with CNN?

    Misbehaving and Unruly Tourist in Japan

    I saw it as more like taking your shoes off when you enter a temple. Now, praying and ringing the bell, thats another thing. Yeah, re pictures I just did what the locals, or domestic Japanese tourists, do. A little respect does seem to go a long way. Move back to let the family with the old...

    Did the Founding Fathers get anything Wrong?
