Just because no one is filing for divorce, it doesn’t mean that a marriage is alive and healthy. The reasons for staying together may vary, from children, to finances, to complacency. But the spark is gone, the romance lost, the relationship is barren. You might not even like each other. So what do you do to try and reanimate a dead marriage and how do you know when resuscitation is futile? Continue reading “Dead Marriage”

Employers Can’t Refuse to Hire Felons
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is filing lawsuits against both BMW and Dollar General over discriminatory hiring practices. In the BMW case, people were asked to reapply for jobs and were subjected to criminal background checks. After failing the background check 88 people were fired, 70 of which were black.

Courage
The highest medal in the U.S. is the Medal of Honor, an acknowledgement for courage and gallantry in battle. This value, courage, is respected and revered as one of the greatest qualities a person can have. But courage is not reserved to those who bravely put themselves in the line of fire. Courage is not the sole province of those who give their lives in the defense of others. There are acts of courage, great and small, that every person has the ability to achieve. They are found in the daily choices we are faced with, and our resoluteness when dealing with our fears. Continue reading “Courage”
Cougars and Silver Foxes on the Hunt
The rule is half your age, plus seven years. That is, unless you are under 22. However, this rule is really more of a guideline. Some take the opinion that age is only a number. Really, a lot of it depends on how serious you intend the relationship to be. Continue reading “Cougars and Silver Foxes on the Hunt”
Corporate Activism
Shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy tweeted, “Sad day for our nation; founding fathers would be ashamed of our gen. to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies.” The tweet was later retracted because Chick-fil-A said the views were the personal views of Dan Cathy, and not an official stance of the restaurant. Continue reading “Corporate Activism”

Compromise
The government shutdown is over, and the debt ceiling has been raised… at least for now. The government is now funded through January 15, and the debt ceiling will not be hit again until February 7. Without any large agreement, this debate will begin anew in about three months. Thus far, the Democrats and Republicans in D.C. have been unable to reach a true compromise. Continue reading “Compromise”

Anyone who wants to “boldly go where no man has gone before,” please raise your hand. Mars One is currently taking applications for potential astronauts who want to go colonize Mars in 2023.

Cloning Alphas, Betas and Replacement Organs
Have you ever wanted a second you to go to work while you go fishing? Well, science is closer than ever to achieving just that. And don’t worry about the clone demanding equal rights and to go fishing with you. Through gene manipulation you can make the clone quite subservient, as illustrated in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Are subhuman slaves not for you? How about a living organ bank? Through gene manipulation you can even remove its potential for consciousness, so you don’t have to feel bad when you need that new liver. Yes, cloning technology is a modern miracle with unlimited potential. Continue reading “Cloning Alphas, Betas and Replacement Organs”
