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. Stand up for your rights and red-light our unreasonable government. Most everyone I speak to convey their concerns about our economy and the future. Yet statistics indicate that some 90 percent of our Congress was re-elected. It would appear that change is unlikely when you keep the same failed leadership in office. It is as simple as voting all incumbents out of office, yet the people stand in an oblivious state while the old cronies run our country into the ground. ...more

I love Brussels sprouts, beets and pickled pigs feet. Actually I don't, but I can't say I dislike brussels sprouts, beets and pickled pigs feet without running the risk of offending that minority group of people who produce Brussels sprouts, beets and pickled pigs feet. To do so would not be politically correct. Political correctness, or PC, which should not be confused with the contraption most likely currently sitting on your desk, "is a term used to describe language, ideas, policies or behavior seen as seeking to minimize offense to gender, racial, cultural, disabled, aged or other identity groups."
