(Topics: Society &amp; Culture | Back to Home)
 You can find them in seemingly any home in America. In total, they number in the hundreds of millions. There is a purpose to this technology, and a long and important history---but that&#039;s not why we&#039;re talking about them. It&#039;s because of their inherent danger. Because of the accidents, the suicides, and the homicides. The threat is real, especially to our children. And still, too many of us don&#039;t bother to lock them up, those …</description>

        <description>Medicare

(Topics: The Elderly | Back to Home)

Medicare is a health insurance program available to all Americans aged 65 and over, as well as some Americans with disabilities of any age. Medicare is run by the federal government. Medicare is so big it is divided into four pieces: Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D. This is a big conversation.</description>

(Topics: Administration &amp; Security | Back to Home)

This is a big topic. To break it down let&#039;s start with a definition. From the folks at Merriam-Webster:
   immigration (noun) - travel into a country for the purpose of permanent residence there.</description>

        <description>Charter Schools

(Topics: Children ⇒ Education | Back to Home)

Something wild is happening in education. Strap in, because there may be no greater demonstration of the strangeness of modern politics.
 Back in the 1970s, there was an English teacher named Ray Budde, I get the sense he was a typical New England lefty [1], Budde felt that what was going wrong in education was all the central authority and bureaucracy and general over-business-ification that had been going on.</description>

        <description>Student Loans

(Topics: Children ⇒ Education | Back to Home)

We screwed up on this one. What happened was this: the government wanted to encourage people to go to college, but not everyone could afford it. So, the government began to let students borrow money. And pretty soon, private companies got involved as well.</description>

(Topics: Children | Back to Home)

There&#039;s nothing I could write here that hasn&#039;t been said better before. Education is good for people. Education has been a driving force in the success of America. The more opportunities there are for education and the more ways to learn, the better.</description>

Backstory, shmackstory

The story of every piece of land is one of conflict over ownership. I have the luxury of typing these words in a coffee shop in northern Hamilton County. I&#039;m leasing it from the proprietor for the cost of a cup of joe. The business rents it from a landlord who bought it from someone, who in turn bought it from someone, who in turn got this bit of land where I&#039;m sitting right now from a land grant from some regional provisio…</description>

        <description>Financial Aid

(Topics: Children ⇒ Education | Back to Home)

Doing anything costs money. That should be self-evident, but it&#039;s worth a constant reminder. And if the thing you are doing is offering an education, you will need a budget to do it. Checks must be written to build buildings, pay teachers, purchase equipment, and so on.</description>
