  It seems as though most of America's athletes are African-American. Is this simply a mistaken perception on my part or is it reality? If it is reality, why do you think this is so?

  We all know that you shouldn't smoke around young children but what about burning incense?

  Most people do not burn incense anywhere nearly as often as smokers smoke – so potential harm is debatable (at least in Western society).

  Should CIA torturers have personal privacy concerning their job performance?

  No, they should not. If they actually felt that using torture was in the best interests of our country, why would they want to hide it? The fact that they want to keep it secret is a clear indication that they knew what they were doing was WRONG.

  What topic should I choose for my history term paper?

  How about writing something about how religion has worked hand-in-hand with the various governments to control people, to give power to the wealthy, to create classes of people to work for the wealthy, to promote prejudice between races, to subjugate women, & to deny science as being credible. Discuss the lengths that religion has gone to in order to hold on to their power over the people – history is loaded with information & specific references to savage tactics.

  Do you ever wonder if it is a pre-requisite in order to be a politician that you must have a defective moral compass so that you can cheat on your spouse?

  I realize that politicians are ‘human’ & that far too many humans appear to think they can say they stand for something in public, but in private they think they can do whatever they want to do because it is no one’s business but their own. However, when a person decides to step into politics ( supposedly because they actually want to help their fellow human beings ), it seems they should acknowledge the fact that they will be in the public eye as a good example, a truthful, responsible example. If they find they can no longer be a person of truthful example – why not walk away from being a politician? It might be hard to give up the ‘perks of politics’, but it would make their life their own, once again. Or, if they do not feel as though they can abandon what they have been working for as a politician – at least do the honorable thing & tell their spouse that they want a divorce. They might end up getting voted out of office at the next election, but at least they would be dealing from a point of honesty. I guess that honesty & politics must be mutually exclusive for far too many of our politicians – either that or they must believe in magic – ‘magic’ that makes them think their actions are going to be invisible to everyone.
