My Neighbor "Bill" by Pat Pending When I was a kid, we had a neighbor across the street named "Bill". He was retired and a widower with no children. Bill had many nieces and nephews living in town, but only one niece, "Susan", ever came to spend time with him or help him..... Why Inalienable? By George Baumler With the copies of the Declaration of Independence making the rounds, much attention is focused on the phrase "all men are created equal", but somewhat less on the phrase "endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights". The idea that common men were the king's equals was revolutionary, but perhaps more significant was the notion that men were born with rights that no one could take from them unless they defied the very nature of mankind...... How to be Secure in Old Age By Theresa Fritz Camoriano Imagine that a person walked up to you on the street and offered to take care of you in your old age if you would just give him 15% of all your income until you turn 65 years old. How would you respond?..... The Real Meaning of "Commander-in-Chief." By Gordon Francis Corbett The term, "commander-in-chief," means that the president, as head of the executive branch of government, commands the armed forces.

In Mafia slang, the president is the "capo di tutti capi": "the boss of all the bosses.".....

Trouble is, the drugs don't die, only people do..... What do we know about Jerry Abramson? The Kentucky Gazette reports in its October 29 issue that..... Rick Hogue Response to C-J Non-Endorsement Do we the citizens of the new Metro Louisville want to continue to have government as usual?

“When politicians promise to give you something, just remember that the only money they have is what they take from the people. If you want someone to pick your pockets and then give you a handout, there are plenty of politicians around who will do that for you.… Above all, never assume that political phrases actually mean what they say or imply. Rent control does not control rents, gun control does not control guns, and the Indian Child Welfare Act disregards the welfare of Indian children with unbelievable callousness.”
