• North Sea exclusion zone set as gas surges from leak

  Tue Mar 27, 2012
  • And what is being released? Lots of methane in the natural gas, and a mixture of other hydrocarbons, and a little CO2. Where's the problem? (This is sarcasm for those of you who need a hint).

• Mangled horses, maimed jockeys: Death and disarray at America's racetracks

  Sun Mar 25, 2012
  • It IS time to end this barbaric "sport." All sentient creatures deserve more respect and care than most of these horses receive. We use them for our purposes and then treat them as throwaway things when they break, or we're done with them. They have no choice in the matter.

• Family: 911 calls show shooting of black teen was not self-defense

  Sat Mar 17, 2012
  • These types of things will continue to happen in our gun crazy society, especially since so many who carry them feel insecure and powerless until they have the gun in their hands. That kind of person with a gun is a dangerous thing.

• 'Tea and Occupy' -- a discussion/debate between members of the two movements

  Mon Jan 9, 2012
  • This is a bad idea. There is little or no common ground between the Occupy movement and the teabaggers. Only the mainstream media, trying to breathe a little life into the almost defunct teabagger group, keeps them alive. It is an insult to Occupy to say that there IS common ground here.

• Looking for the American Dream? Move to Canada

  Thu Jan 5, 2012
  • I find it hilarious that the Republicans pretend to be alarmed by this trend. They and their ignorant voters are pretty much the cause of it, and the guy everyone seems to want to worship, Reagan, accelerated this trend during his and Nancy's term.

• NYPD investigates firebomb attacks on Muslims, Hindus

  Mon Jan 2, 2012
  • This seems like the typical act of hatred from the extreme right, but now Hindus? Good grief.

• Colorado driver killed by branch steered car to safety

  Mon Jan 2, 2012
  • I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure he was a fine man, and will be missed at NIST. Condolences to his family for their terrible loss.

• Ohio suspends well operations after series of quakes

  Mon Jan 2, 2012
  • Please, people, learn some science in high school. It would take a whole LOT of small quakes to release the energy building up in a slipping fault.

• Man jailed for year for pirating 'Wolverine' movie

  Tue Dec 20, 2011
  • Jailed for this? Good grief! No wonder the great US of A is the jail capital of the world. Oh, wait. He committed a crime against a business. No wonder. Rapist, you go free so we can make room in our jail for this guy who downloaded something he shouldn't have!
