    Wow. "Makes teens feel unsafe"? Care to explain that? The rest of your comment is so absurd I'm not going to bother asking.

    The same kind of people who condemned Woodward and Bernstein for investigating and reporting on Watergate.

    Seized property should be held in a neutral escrow account until the case is adjudicated, and then automatically returned to the victim if they are not convicted of a crime within …

    Someone once said to me that he had no interest in going to Europe because "the US has every kind of landscape that Europe does," as if there is no other reason to travel but to se…

    The biggest issue where I live (Philadelphia) is the plague of motorcycles and cars with exhaust systems deliberately altered to maximize the noise generated. The police won't do a…

    Read it again...she did not break any law. At most, she should have been given a chance to turn back and try again once she worked out the paperwork. But for Trumpists like you, th…

    I would not apply unless I was desperate for a job, or if enough time had passed or leadership had changed that I felt sure it was no longer the same company. The way companies tre…

    One helicopter is loud enough to be heard miles away. Imagine the sky full of thousands of these vehicles! This is a nightmare that needs to be nipped in the bud.

    I saw the government-owned groceries when I travelled in Eastern Europe in the 1980's. Sure, prices were low, but shelves were often bare, and people waited in long lines waiting f…

    This looks like the sort of thing one sees in a freshman sociology or social psychology class, regurgitates for the exam, and then forgets. Until it reappears in the annual corpora…

    I am not a lawyer, but I'm pretty certain that a plan like this is blatantly unconstitutional. Harris knows this too, and knows it will never happen, but it may buy a few votes in …

    It was curious to see the Harvard group expressing concern about the percentage of black freshmen dropping by a "huge" amount (from 18% to 14%). Given that blacks represent about 1…

    So these bros work long hours for a couple of years, making more money than I've ever made in my career as an engineer, then become private equity ghouls shutting down hospitals or…

    I know a number of software engineers who have gone on to teach high school C.S. or math classes, mostly at private schools or special magnet tech schools. They don't make as much …

    That's like waiting until someone is killed before putting up a traffic light.

    In every house I've lived in the US, the postal box was attached to the house near the front door.
