It is sad for me, but I agree with this article. 10 years ago, my 10 year-old son played Little League and there were 6 teams with 12 people per team. Now the league can barely field 4 teams.

There were two factors here. The better kids wanted to play AAU – Little League was too restrictive. And, at least here in Tampa, the fantasy football advice players would rather play lacrosse in the spring because you get to run and hit somebody.

The kids who stick with baseball are generally better because they are good at it and they specialize. But the marginal players have generally drifted away to other sports.

And I am surprised that this article didn’t mention the loss of many black players, who overwhelmingly choose football or basketball.

My mother in law is coming to visit next month and I am really dreading it. She hates me and has never treated me very well. She is going to fly in late at night, and she wants us to come and get her. I told my husband to tell her to take a taxi minneapolis mn offers, because I am not going to get her. However, he is a sucker, so he is planning on picking her up himself.

Tracking is and exists and has existed. Ever wonder why a business wants your phone number or you use a membership card? Everything you buy at those stores can be tracked. Can states and/or government agencies release tax information legally or not legally which gives your income and other status? There are no secrets. Perhaps more concern is what will happen to the now free advice Internet. Will the free Internet be filled with ads for everything and shut down if you block? Go to sites on inter net there are pop ups not that do not go away and follow your mouse to stay in your vision. We worry about someone stealing our social security numbers and the like when it is more likely out there 24-7 for anyone who know where to look.

The real difference in the Tea Party movement and these wanna-bes is obvious from the way they are going about it – and it isn’t their fault, it’s the way they think.

The Tea Party is a totally ‘ground up’, diffused, cross-section of Americans who have no real ‘leadership’ (altho some groups have tried to insert a ‘head’ on this nebulous beast). It’s made up by self-responsible, clear-headed regular guys/gals who simply got fed up with big government and suddenly they found out each, individually, were not ‘alone’ (thank you Mr. Santori and ALgore of internet-creation fame) but that other people felt as they had for YEARS. Some of us kind of ‘got together’ and discovered ourselves. Then more discvered those few and then more and then more. It was like Alice’s Restaurant, although I’m betting advice Mr. Guthrie would die at this analogy.

The leftists, on the other hand, have formed ‘committees’ and ‘leadership’ groups to try and jinn up and coalesce stridently diverse groups with radically different ‘beefs’ against numerous intitutions. A normal leftist ‘top-down’ organization (like the old USSR’s 5-year plans and committees).

It’s funny to watch and provides only a foil for the real deal. Worry not about it, friends. Because of its very nature, it will collapse. While the Tea Party Movement,as it’s called as it must be called something, moves onward.

Social security was not conceived of as a wellfare program. Rather there was a general concurrance between payments in and benefits advice out. THose who paid more in got a little less than their share out; those who paid less in got a little more than their share out and the majority got out about what they put in. On that basis people did not feel either taken advantage of or that they were receiving a windfall. Obama’s plan to divorce benefits entirely from payments would make it just another transfer of wealth program , which is what he wants the entire government budget to be.

There may not be a coal shoot — many Harlem townhouses built in the late 19th century were designed with gas heat in mind, and the fireplaces are typically gas fireplaces. The buildings may have been retrofitted for oil heat in the mid-20th century, but it’s relatively rare for them to have ever been heated by coal.

As for removing fireplaces, the old ones never meet code for burning wood, and it’s unlikely that more than two of them had decorative mantles, so from the point of view of a modern owner, they’re just ugly holes in the wall. It’s reasonable to keep the pretty ones (and perhaps even spend the money to bring them to code), while wiping out the old ones to reclaim the wall space for something more practical.

Of course this is just an opening gambit on fair taxation. There is certainly a need to tap corporations for overseas profits, eliminate ‘sweetheart’ loopholes, provide minimums. Most important is making cuts pay for themselves. As all good tax policy, this rewards behaviors good for the nation, business and corporations. It puts business on notice that all profits are eligible for tapping to enhance the public good.

Eventually I’d like to see incentives built into a comprehensive revision that promotes more sharing with employees, with increasing wages tied to better productivity and sales, with recognizing collective bargaining, with corporate protections for jobs. Just be sure that changes for small business advice business, the true job creators, the innovators, the entrepreneurs are favorable for maintaining and enhancing this feature and strength of American education and independence and freedom.

Well said. While I’m not opposed to abortions, I do believe these preventative measures have caused people to act more recklessly than before. Social programs that do not discriminate have the consequence of lowering the standard of living for those who choose to act in a more responsible manner. You see far too many illegitimate kids these days who do not grow up with a family, adequate income, and guidance. I would take the even more progressive approach of tying tubes or vasectomies to mothers and fathers who give birth to a child and are already on welfare. As it stands right now, the stigma of welfare is apparently not enough to prevent people from making the same mistakes again.

Dr. Karnani has a point, although very sophomoric (fast food salads—fear of getting sued for the medical burden to society from obesity, diabetes, etc, not any big concern for the consumer advice; Fuel mileage—US auto fought that for years—even brought the issue to the WTO as unfair trade because Japanese companies were kicking their rear in miles per gallon—and everything else; energy companies have gotten more efficient because they thought fossil hydrocarbons would last forever and they will not—great management decision-making, no?, big concern for the consumer no.; don’t make me go on…)

Dr. Karnani is correct. It is not companies that should be socially responsible. It is consumers: CONSUMER SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. The consumer controls the dollars, the most powerful incentive out there. As soon as the consumer grows tired of being lead around by the nose by corporate marketing and mainstream academic and government economic fiction we can force either social responsibility on the corporate world or force the corporate world as we know it into insolvency and support companies that deliver the products and services that do not mine the future and cheapen our current existence.

There are jobs and plenty of money to be made in that world, just not by today’s corporate fat cats.

The problem is simple and the solution even simpler, but economists like complicated theories or else they’d be useless. Of course CEOs are not bright enough to realize the simplicity of it.

It’s as simple as: start hiring and people will restart consuming. If you layoff people, they won’t have money or confidence to spend, which reduces your profits and there goes the downward spiral. If all companies keep their workforce during a slowdown, it’ll be a very short slowdown with short term pain. Keep laying-off people and you’re digging your own grave.

Also people need to drill in their pea brains that a lot of the construction sector jobs and careers are not coming back. Change careers and move on already. A mature economy relying so heavily on construction is asking for trouble. You can’t build indefinitely. … stating the obvious.
