Google’s Move
What is the proper stance on the issue regarding Google and their censorship infringements in China? The issue of censorship, in general, is almost always surrounded by debate and often frustration, but Google is now in the position to end the disagreements with a bold move.

2010 Health Care Overhaul – Establishing Hope
It is difficult to listen to politicians call this health care bill “unconstitutional.” If providing health care to the citizens of our own country is unconstitutional, than we have a problem with the Constitution.
