The idea of a company that’s earning money, not losing it, enacting cutbacks so they can earn another...

Who to Hate More?
The older generation for causing this mess? Or the members of the younger generation who unquestioningly accepted the assumptions of the older generation?

I've Seen This in Person
In Mt. Clemens there were baby tigers being offered as props for children’s photography. Apparently in Michigan this is legal, but I don’t want to support a place that advocates cruelty toward any animal. I did a google search and found out that a man at the same flea market had, in the 80s or 90s been arrested for the same thing but with bears. Apparently the Gibraltar Trade Center...

In a masterpiece of clarity brevity, one reader...
Hell, I dunno. Clear liquids? But the most soul wrenching for me are those that ask: “When I look at what my country has become, I get so depressed that I could cry. Joe, do you think it’s hopeless?” Most days I do. But one thing I know is that while America may be a hopeless cause, the world is not.
