Punch-in time used to be 8:00 am (late three days in a month and you're docked a day's pay). But the ten-minute choreographed calisthenics routine was taking ten minutes out of valuable work time, so now punch-in is at 7:50. This was we can get ou...

Just finished "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens, and am now about 75% through "The Good Earth" by Pearl S. Buck. I've been reading a lot recently, and I'm pretty jaded when it comes to most books. But damn, the Good Earth is an incredibly powerfu...

Native English speaker. -Had decent conversational command of French at one point and can probably revive it without too much trouble -Majored in Russian in college, could converse comfortably at one point, but it's almost totally gone now -Had a ...

The Holy Land: Israel, Egypt, and Jordan (and perhaps Syria and Lebanon if you're more daring). Some of the oldest stuff on the planet, the cradle of Western civilization, the center of global politics, and all in a sunny climate with awesome food.

I'm one of those who believes that one of the best ways to show your integrity is simply to KEEP religion and politics separate.

I wanted to counter your point number 1: People do not serve the law; the law serves the people. That's why we can add, amend or repeal laws when necessary. The function of a judge is often just to say, "Does the law in question really apply to t...

I've got to disagree on one point: it is a law enforcement officer's job to enforce whatever laws he/she swore to uphold and defend when they became an officer. Even if he or she disagrees with them, preserving order under the law is what they're ...

Andrew, what a great book, "A Distant Mirror" is. I thought the same thing, man the research that went into that book. She has several other history books that are quiet wonderful as well.
Thanks for sharing,
Allen
