Is a right to privacy in the United States Constitution? Yes it is - but not where you think it is. A lot of people are looking into the amendments to the Constitution for something that can be construed as privacy. Others say that it’s just not there. But it is there and it’s right […]

The law restricts truckers to 14 hour work days for traffic safety. Walmart wants to get it up to 16 hours a day. As if 14 hours behind the wheel isn’t enough.

One thing that the Motion Picture Association of America has accomplished is that they have created so much fear of being sued that even when Michael Moore has given permission to post Fahrenheit 9/11 on the internet - people are still afraid to do so. We live in a world of cowards. What a shame.
