Conscripts vs Volunteers? Let me see if I can make any sense out of this (you can tell me later how faulty my thought process is, I'm sure). You are saying that in the interest of "a well-regulated militia" that there should be no changes to US gun laws - remember, that topic? You are basing...

This was an extraordinary red herring, Jiro. You really put yourself into it.

I think that is true about MD's also, CSign. But, if the legal system is difficult for the average person to navigate, so is the health care system. That is especially true at a time of crisis. Social workers at a hospital may be the very best people for some guidance on living wills - when...

A very beautiful place, when the sky is clear and I can see both the Olympic Mountains on 1 side and Mt. Rainier on the other and there I am out in the waters of the Puget Sound . . ! I really feel like I'm in one of the most special places on Earth :shock: ! But you are right, Marci - I'm...

I have had a conversation with my kids about what the final days of my life might mean to me. Told them that I can be happy, sitting and looking out a window. However, I have to be able to see out the window. They seemed genuinely relieved by that. I'm not a lawyer but I think that much of the...

I had an idea to have NEW traditions this year! You see, it is the 1st Christmas in about 30 years that we haven't had a tree in the living room window. My daughter has drug me off to the tree lot every year since she moved out. This year, she decided that she really didn't have room in her home...
