What is the principle underlying all of these solutions?’ I couldn’t answer his question;

Fire Safety Petition | State Representative Sara Feigenholtz - Illinois' 12th District

The Unions are sponsoring a movement to get all Chicago high-rises retrofitted for sprinkler systems to solve a problem that does not exists. High rise fire fatalities are rare. The cost of retrofitting will be enormous for the unit owners. The Pipefitters and Plumbers will get much more work, and more firefighters will be needed to perform all the required inspections. If you live in Illinois, please sign the petition.

On Israel’s 66th Independence Day, an urgent question for liberal Jews - The Jewish Thinker

It's a problem. I am "liberal" but not to the point of self-destruction. A democratic one state solution will result in the long run in the end of Israel as we now understand it. Until all the states surrounding and opposing Israel become real democracies rather than dictatorships or Islamic theocracies, Israel cannot afford real democracy. Democracy is a good idea - given the right circumstances. Self destruction may feel good, but is a bad strategy.
