I usually try to post only those parts of a link which give the most information,
assuming the Dwellars will follow the link and read more of the details. On the following editorial, I am posting all of the first several paragraphs, and leaving the opinions of the NY Times for further reading in the link for those who are interested.

There's been a proliferation of bad charities that sound like they help cops, firemen, and veterans, often with names sounding very similar to good charities. It's a double whammy in they not only con you, they're diverting your money away from actual people in need.

Moral hazard - Is it indolent contrivance, gratuitous profit, or just POV
The following editorial is really worth reading in it's entirety. Star Tribune Editorial Board 12/25/13/ Unemployment benefits are not a luxury for unemployed Quote:
NY Times STEVE EDER 12/27/13 For ESPN, Millions to Remain in Connecticut Quote:
entitled government subsidies, and we proudly label it it capitalism. Locally, carrot/stick tactics obscure it with promises/threats of job creation/job loss. But is it ? Isn't it actually just corporate moral hazard. 51305. |

I despise name-calling, but...
The GOP basturds are causing pain to too many people. Next they'll start complaining about crime rates going up. From Google News today |

But, but, they're just doing what their constituents tell them to, aren't they?

Christmas?
Woman stabbed man with ceramic squirrel early on Christmas morning for returning without beer. Man choked and stabbed after allegedly turning off lady's Crock-Pot on Christmas morning. Woman stabbed fiancé on Christmas Day after argument about wedding colour scheme. Christmas night fight between sisters over apple fritters culminated in stabbing. Merry?

Apple fritters are worth stabbing for.

Our government gets a lot of press, usually about the fight between the Executive and Legislative branches. This time, the Judicial branch gets the headline.

Just as insane are extremist lawmakers and law enforcement officers who associate marijuana and heroine as equally dangerous drugs. They cannot learn because rhetoric rather than knowledge is the source of all conclusions.
Same rhetoric justified using any laws rather then considering the purpose of that law and enforcement. Well over 50% of prisioners in the world's most imprisioned country are there only for drug violations - most only for marijuana. They forgot to first learn the purpose of that law. Even forgot to learn that the gateway drug is coffee. If they learned that, would they use Federal laws to seize the property of coffee drinkers? |

Heroin. It's spelled h-e-r-o-i-n. Heroine is something completely different, I do not think it means what you think it means.
