Intuition plays a huge part in how we decide what's right and wrong, and we are biased. Does our environment play a huge part in how we decide politics etc? http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/25/books...
I find it screwed up that we (American's) are still arguing over gun rights and possible punishments for breaking them meanwhile we have a harmless student who is being charged as an adult. I think...
I agree that drug legalization would halt the cartels momentum but in turn cause more severe problems, such as younger and younger youths trying harder and harder drugs. The more readily available ...
I retweeted this story last week from the NYT after having a good laugh at the absurdity of this "investigative" column. If you know anything about Williamsburg / Brooklyn alike, you might be famil...
Though I agree with Friedman when he says that the situation is a "wickedly complex problem" that requires a more subtle fix than Obama's proposed "one-time 'shock and awe' missile attack against S...
I think this is a very debatable resolution for our drought here in Marin. Taking water from Phoenix lake will effect many people and it's scary that we have reached a level where we are so in need...
There was also a commercial about this that was released in time for the Super Bowl (even though it wasn't shown during the actual game, for obvious reasons). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mR-tbOx...

I think that this is an interesting piece. What I immediately thought of when I read it was how social networking makes it seem as though everyone is having a more fulfilling/fun/exciting life than...
This is geared towards insecure women, and I don't believe it's actually news at all. This is an embarrassing attempt to generate a lot of revenue with a lot of clicks (somewhat like what Yahoo does).
I think that this is just capitalism at work. While I don't like the idea of such a large wealth gap on this country especially in our large cities which have seem to become only for the wealthy it...
Which side one falls on the question of raising the minimum wage often aligns more with a person's political stance than with their knowledge of the economy, i.e. its a very politicized issue and p...
