Schools have all sorts of drills! Do you not remember fire drills, tornado drills, and in the 1950s, the bomb drills of getting under desks and covering your heads? I don't think any of us were traumatized by those. Firefighters also taught us the "stop, drop, and roll" technique in case we were ever on…

It just goes to show that people can be fooled by a name and that many people do not do their own research.

Being a citizen of the United States of America is a privilege that comes to most of us by birth. For others, it is an accomplishment that comes after years of hard work. Those of us who were born as citizens do not even realize the high price of becoming naturalized citizens. We probably could…

When I see those tents set up along the road "giving away free phones," I think about scammers, and I think that's what it's turned out to be. The US public has been scammed. I was afraid that the people who received them would end up with high bills, and then where would they be? …

I think the IRS has always thought itself above the law. Due process is due process. That's what makes the USA what it is. It may take longer, but the right way is the right way.

As a retired teacher, I can truthfully say that nationwide curriculum would be helpful to students. Each state has a different sequence of courses. When a student moves from one state to another (through no choice of…

Probably a good idea, but still in violation of the Second Amendment.

I shall always remember Mrs. Thatcher for being the outstanding leader of her time. She, along with her fellow conservative leader, Ronald Reagan, were given to us to form a formidable team. We were all blessed to have had them at the time; I know that somewhere in the US and the UK, there are…
