To Ryan: yep, that's what we believe. Even Hitler and Obama. You see, we believe that we all lived first as spirits, and at the appointed time were sent here to have a human experience, part of which is a cogat test. Seems like Hitler failed the test. I know that's not the same as what you believe, but it's what we mean by our being children of God. We don't mean that someone can only become God's child after birth. We mean that we all started out as literal spirit children who now More

Its so nice to see someone be able to show passion for a sport and a healthy eating tips lifestyle, but still be able to incorporate one's family life in to the mix as well. It's good that his kids get the chance to bike with him while he runs on Sundays and the fact that they're eating healthy will help them develop good habits as adults, but the one thing that saddens me is that he and his wife rarely go out to eat anymore. While I understand money and time are the main culprits, More

50 billion dollars. 50 BILLION DOLLARS!!! Why is Madoff not in jail while awaiting trial? Our financial system is going through the greatest crisis in our country's hishow to gain confidencery. We need to restore CONFIDENCE. Extraordinary times require extraordinary action. In order to restore CONFIDENCE our government needs to re-assure the world's investors that our system is secure and free of corruption. Madoff is sitting at home with his feet up, having blown several times the More

At the risk of being boring. The car insurance people want slower speeds how to reduce weight naturally increase their profits, the environmentalists want slower speeds to reduce fuel consumption, politicians want slower speeds to get votes, anti drink people want slower speeds to reduce fatalities from drunk high speed drivers. Through it all people have continued to drive at a reasonable rate of speed 70 + or -. That won't change. We still need good regulation to stop very slow More

Agreed this trader took some positions in something that turned out very ugly to UBS. That said, this is more importantly an issue of inept UBS management vs. leadership and risk governance. I can not understand how a 'Rouge Trader' could have hidden this debacle, and if he did, it is still an issue of inept UBS management and risk governance. This guy will end up under the bus, but so should his oversight team. Why is he the only one that was arrested? If he made 'bad decisions' that More

I guess before asking how many US spies Russians are holding. I actually want to know how many Russian spies US are holding? Those that are not known or exposed to the media but detained by CIA without any sentencing or trail. In fact, FBI did a very lousy job in this case. If those spies are not exposed but secretly traded with Russia, it will help the Russia-US serious relationship. If the end result is trading and can be done quietly, why hurt the relationship? US could use both More

Anyone with clear your mind eyes and unspun judgement, after only six months of Obama's presidency, already had enough historical evidence to SUSPECT that the President, and those closest to him, had a purposefully more dire scenario in mind for the United States than what it was already going through at the time. By January, 2010, it had become crystal CLEAR that his GOAL (with those in the Legislature and most closest to him inside and outside his adminstration) was the erosion of More

Tri Pham, Chinese resume objectives in 1979 were limited just as the objectives of the China-India border war in 1962 were limited. Once the border areas were totally trashed and captured, they withdrew having make their statement. It was to punish Vietnam for their ungratefulness towards the help China has given Vietnam earlier and also for causing the boat people exodus ( Many of the boat people were ethnic Chinese). I was reading the account of the war everyday from the news of those More

The conclusion of the op-ed has been unfortunately proven by this thread: there are deep,sometimes- irrationally held differences that fundamentally divide the body politic. I recall that the '60 Votes Rule' could be overturned by a majority vote, but the Dems don't have the nerve to try to 'legislate' under that standard: one day it might come back to bite them. So instead of principled leadership, the guiding principle - on both sides - is to 'blame the opposition' ...and that passes More

David, I suspect the tragic truth is that the reason US prosecutors are wasting so much taxpayer money on this case is that the prosecutors involved know it would be an significant enhancement to their resumes if those resumes include the successful prosecution of we well known being professional athletic with an enviable record as a professional athlete. It's a sad reality indeed, that far too many prosecutors are primarily interested in what's in it for them, and, if any justice is More
