Where’s personal responsibility fit into the consequences of a person’s actions?

There are at least a handful of people arguing the U.S. government needs to “do more” to regulate online pharmacies. Sure, that may be true, but right now, face the facts: most in Congress are older people who are technologically-challenged. In fact, look at legislation about most any aspect of life and you’ll see most of it is at least 10 or more years behind the times. I won’t even touch on the health care crisis in the U.S.

Did anorexia get accountant canned from Rachael Ray’s daytime show?

Thanksgiving is over, and hopefully you walked away from the table last evening with a full belly.

That alone was plenty for us to be thankful for, but there were many other things on our list, just to be clear.
