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.

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 once had a roasted chicken breast sandwich with roasted peppers, mixed greens, and a balsamic dressing on freshly baked focaccia that was so good I considered throwing it up just so I could eat it again.
It was that good.
I nominate Man as the manliest animal.

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 ...

- Hey Andrew, you actually do look a little like some of my dad's side but I don't see any connection on your geneaology site. My dad was named John ('Jack') Ramage Barbour (1921), his dad was George Herbert Barbour (1883) and, finally, George's dad was James Martin Barbour (1844).
