If all the world’s population were moved to one side of the earth, would it cause the planet to tilt? If every adult in the world could drive the most gas-guzzling SUV, how soon until the earth’s devastation? Is the future of the earth dependent on the behavior of humans?

Is The Earth On Life Support?
June 17th, 2010What is the Most Important Economic Number at Election Time?
June 11th, 2010“It’s the economy stupid” was the mantra of the first presidential election in the 90′s. Only the threat of war could trump the economy as the most important issue at election time. Abortion, gay rights, and other social issues will never carry the weight of the economy. It will be bigger than ever this fall, but I bet you can’t guess the most important number.

Why Is Israel So Special?
June 9th, 2010How can a country smaller than Vermont, with a population of less than 10 million people, demand so much of the worlds attention?

Why Do Politicans like Oil and Greece?
May 13th, 2010I miss the healthcare debate. That was an issue you could sink your teeth into. The issues today are just not exciting. I hope Greece can fix their financial problem and I expect we will eventually fix our oil spill problem, but the politics surrounding these and other issues is a dumbing experience.

Can We Solve the Immigration Crisis?
May 4th, 2010Once again, the country is faced with a huge problem and it’s in the hands of the wrong people – politicians. There is no way Washington can come up with a solution for immigration when this many votes are at stake. Neither democrats nor republicans will have a spine in this debate.
