I am against red light cameras because they contribute to accidents and absurd fines, which is taxation by our lazy government. Next year the government will further their lack of discretion by proposing that red light violators be tracked by satellite to their home for culpability confirmation, ticket-point issuance and search of your home.

This month marks Social Security's 73rd birthday - placing it eight years past standard retirement age. But, despite the program's $10-trillion-plus dollar shortfall, no politician dares to suggest that this disastrous program be phased out and retired; all agree on one absolute: Social Security must be saved. While the program may have financial problems, virtually everyone believes that some form of mandatory government-run retirement program is morally necessary. ...more
