Getting to the bottom of things...

Exploring the world, finding out what you think,
having some fun - that's the point!

Recent topics include:  
Nukes - we've banned chemical weapons (with
inspections) should we do the same for nukes?  
should the US disarm?  should we disarm only
after everyone else? do you feel safer knowing
the weapons are there, or less safe because
you know that human error could cause a
catastrophe?
Father's rights - are Dad's getting a raw deal?  
should parents automatically get joint custody
unless proven otherwise?  as that best for the
kids?  are people who have proven unable to
sustain a marriage capable of co-parenting?
Should we be imprisoning children even when
they haven't been convicted of anything?
Massachusetts politics - Sal DiMasi has the
appearance of improprieties, Florida vs Mass,
Deval vs DiMasi - we learn it all.
Behavioral economics: how rational we humans
aren't
Fighting fascism on $15 a day
Inequality in America in terms of race
Philosophy Cafe - Mystical Experience:  A Direct
Reflection of Reality?
African Youth - dangerous future terrorists, or
connected with the world and seeking to
engage?
Tibet - what the heck is going on there?
Fusion centers - government spying - who is
doing it?  who are they accountable to? does it
work?  apparently not, according to former FBI
undercover agent Mike German
