The crazy high prices have kept people like me who are new out of college out of a house because I am unwilling to take on things like interest only loans.

The greedy unions and stupid managers made some poor decisions. Why should other productive members of society be forced to prop those decisions up? It is upsetting that people see the problems and blame the government for not helping instead of the company for getting into the mess.

How can we believe in success if we don't believe in failure? Failure is as real as success. There is an opposition in all things. When you take away failure you are taking away success.

These people are awful. They caused the deaths of millions when they demonized DDT. If there was actually an alternative that worked, then fine. But environmentalist's campaigns hurt the poor of the world because they don't have other options when the environmentalists take them away.

Christina, because there aren't any real options available, the jobs you say "green" energy creates are subsidized by people who actually produce something worthwhile. That means less profit which means fewer jobs.

Cori Funny you mention the DDT.

Everyone remembers all the poor, defenseless raptors that were killed by the insecticide preventing their eggshells from forming properly.

But nobody remembers the millions of humans who died of malaria when the poison was no longer able to be used to combat mosquitos.
