• What do you want to hear most from the president in his joint address to Congress?

  • Babina - No. Education is also not a "right" under the U.S. Constitution. Traditionally it was always a local matter until President Carter created the Department of Education - with no authority to do so I might add. I attended public schools as does my teenage son.

  • I for one would like to hear the President admit that most of the things the Administration and Congress have been doing lately are actually in violation of the U.S. Constitution. Healthcare is not a "right" anymore than there is a right to home ownership or a flat screen television.

• Do you think the disruptions of town halls hurt the democratic process?

  • If our elected representatives will not answer their phones or read their mail or email how else can they be made to listen?

• Is "cash for clunkers" good for the economy, or is it a lemon?

  • More unconstitutional insanity from the Administration and Congress. Please take my copy of the Constitution of the United States from my desktop and show me where there is anything remotely approaching authority for this. This is asinine and it simply has to stop.

  • Destroying perfectly good autos and parts in the interest of ecology and saving the earth? With borrowed money to boot?

• What do you think of the 150-year fraud sentence for Bernard Madoff?

  Mon Jun 29, 2009
  • Come on. Madoff was a crook but sentencing a man to 150 years is a useless symbolic act. Courts should not engage in useless symbolisms.

• How would you like to see health care changed?

  Thu Jun 11, 2009
  • Oh sure, Mel. And let's include aromatherapy and massages too. Come on. Almost every industry can be improved but run by the government?

• What do you think of President Barack Obama's proposals to reregulate the financial services industry?

  Wed Jun 17, 2009
  • Too non-specific as usual and too meddlesome. This is an administration high on aspiration and woefully short on intelligent substance.

• Would you teach middle-school kids in New York City for $125,000 a year?

  Fri Jun 5, 2009
  • California has tried to be on the bleeding edge of education change for decades. I remember "open classrooms" where kids were free to just get up and leave to go to the "media center" which used to be called a library before they spent money changing the signs.

  • Sure I would but it's just another ridiculous experiment with education. The money would be good for a job that will not last long.
