I believe they were planning to lose this election from the outset. Ten Presidents have failed to win a second term in 230 years.

True - but most people never become scientists - not even amateurs - but there exists a flourishing industry of science books for people who are a bit science curious. Scott Alexan…

I'm a bit tired RhysU - so I might take back some of this later. We are - you can read the Golden Rule as an ideal to aspire to as you are doing. There is nothing wrong with that -…

I don't support either person or party. Europe isn't more left wing than the United States. This is just a popular myth Americans tell themselves. It's just more - of everything be…

As the Wiki states - that Prussian monarchists, nobility, Roman Catholics were enemies of the Nazis is a fact. It doesn't fit into the ideals of Washington or Moscow during the 20t…

There exists an underclass in Ireland who have the same origin as the other Irish - but have many of the issues that exist in the African-American community. Live to about 50, deve…

By few people I mean the conventional opinion in the middle class - to give credit where it is due HN is more likely to understand why these claims could be true. The wages of blue…
