2011 - A FORMER STUDENT TESTED TO THE LIMITS

The trees in the forest
That’s My Opinion, By Bob Robinson
As I have noted on occasion, I’m an adjunct instructor at Edison
Community College. One of the courses I teach is Technical Writing… and
one of the topics of that course is ethics. Ethics in technical
writing? While that may seem like a strange marriage, it isn’t. The
unit is entitled Ethics & Responsibility, and like any other field
of study it has rules of behavior and standards that are required of
the profession. While the responsibility portion of the unit is ‘cut
and dried,’ the ethics portion is a lesson in definition. Are ethics
defined... Read More. See More Opinion.

WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED?
|
I’ll drink to that, I guess
By Nathan Eagle
As the nightly newscasters slur their words between Osama and Obama, I
examine photos for Monday’s front-page news about U.S. forces killing
the al Qaeda leader. One image captures a jubilant crowd outside the
White House. Another is a screen shot of an Arab television station
supposedly showing bin Laden’s bloody dead body. Recognizing that this
is a small community newspaper, I err on the side of caution... Read More. See More Opinion. |

RHOADES' OPINION ON KASICH'S OPINION
|
The Other Side of the Coin
By Bob Rhoades
Tabitha Hale had an interesting comment on this website yesterday
concerning President Obama’s handling of the budget problems as well as
our own Governor Kasich’s view on the problem or as she put it,
Kasich’s opinion on Obama’s opinion. Well, I’ll have to say Mr. Obama
having an opinion on what is happening in Ohio or Wisconsin would
probably be better spent on... Read More. See More Opinion. |

Human Events...
Gasoline and Onions
by John Stossel
05/04/2011
The speculators are ripping us off! “The skyrocketing price of gas and
oil has nothing to do with the fundamentals of supply and demand, and
has everything to do with Wall Street firms that are artificially
jacking up the price of oil in the energy futures markets. ... (T)he
same Wall Street speculators that caused the worst financial... Read

CREATING DOLLARS OUT OF THIN AIR
|
Townhall...
Fed Up with the Fed?
By Thomas Sowell
When people in Washington start creating fancy new phrases, instead of
using plain English, you know they are doing something they don’t want
us to understand. It was an act of war when we started bombing Libya.
But the administration chose to call it “kinetic military action.” When
the Federal Reserve System started creating hundreds of billions of
dollars out... Read
