5 Famous Companies That Get More Hate Than They Deserve
Hate has always been a hot commodity. There's a certain level of popularity that, once reached, all but guarantees that a significant portion of the general public will immediately decry anything else that entity generates for time eternal.
Don't get me wrong -- as a comedy writer, I'm as guilty as anyone else when it comes to instinctively hating something. You have to give the people what they want, and sometimes what they want is just to know that someone out there hates things as much as they do. That said, the jokes I write aren't necessarily a reflection of how I actually feel about something. That's how jokes work. Sometimes you have to say unkind things about stuff you like. We discuss this phenomenon on this week's Unpopular Opinion podcast ...
... where I'm joined by comics Emily Maya Mills and Aaron Covington and my former Cracked co-worker Ian Fortey. Just as it is with the article you're reading right now, we kick things off by talking about one of the most detested franchises in the history of food.
#5. McDonald's
Nothing gets more blame for the obesity epidemic in the United States than fast food, and when it comes to fast food, no brand is hated quite like McDonald's. On the one hand, it makes sense. They practically invented the idea of fast food restaurants, and unlike their competitors, they're so revered by kids that their restaurants (often outfitted with full-on playgrounds) are frequently used to host birthday parties.
This birthday, give your child the gift of diabetes.
Unfortunately for McDonald's, being instantly recognizable and loved by young and old alike means they're usually the first name mentioned when critics of fast food start talking about the disastrous impact it's had on the cholesterol levels and waistlines of this great land and so many others. To some extent, that's totally fair. The road to McDonald's becoming the most hated restaurant of all time is littered with several completely legitimate controversies.
However, being the go-to name to name when talking shit about shitty food has had an interesting side effect. When something needs to change in the fast food industry, McDonald's usually leads the way in making those changes happen. Case in point: Remember when every fast food burger used to be packaged in unwieldy polystyrene containers?
Eat a dick, ozone!
McDonald's certainly wasn't alone in that practice way back in 1987, but it was the only fast food company targeted by environmental groups as part of the "McToxics" campaign, which sought to pressure the burger giant into using less eco-destructive packaging. Guess what? It totally worked! Sure, McDonald's put up a fight, but in the end they relented, and in 1990 they did away with polystyrene packaging altogether. As stated right in the last sentence of this dawn-of-the-Internet-era article about the campaign, other fast food restaurants quickly followed suit.
That's not a minor point, either. Time and again, when widespread problems have been identified in the fast food industry, McDonald's has routinely been called out as if it's the only guilty party and in turn has been the first to take steps toward fixing the problem. Another example of this is the infamous "pink slime" scandal. That's the name given to the disgusting looking "mechanically separated meat" that's long been associated with heart attack-inducing fast food.
Just like mom used to make.
McDonald's is generally one of the first names mentioned once talk turns to this horror show of a product, and back when the scandal first broke, that was completely fair. Of course, that was a really long time ago. As Snopes points out in this article about the controversy, McDonald's actually stopped using mechanically separated meat way back in 2003. If you recall hearing disturbing news stories about it in the days since, it was probably related to ground beef sold in grocery stores.
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News/Getty Images
The kind people tell you to buy instead of wasting your money on fast food.
There are even signs that McDonald's is ready to act on the most recent trend in hating everything Golden Arches-related. For some reason, that McDonald's doesn't pay very well has just recently become a thing that people complain about.
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Get it?!?!?
It's a perfectly legitimate gripe, even if it took a few decades too many to happen, and once again McDonald's obviously isn't the only fast food restaurant that's guilty of not paying its workers a living wage. If a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission is any indication, they might be the first to make it right. Under the "Risk to Business" section, the company mentions that protests and social media campaigns drawing attention to employee pay issues pose a significant threat to the bottom line, so much so that raising wages at some point in the future will likely be unavoidable.
Sure, in a perfect world, McDonald's would just make these changes unprovoked, or, even better, just not be awful in the first place. Still, I have to imagine they've got more than enough money to fight their detractors in whatever way they want for as long as they want. Instead of doing that, they've made a habit of capitulating to whatever demands public opinion places on them, and as a result, they've been on the cutting edge of practically every positive development that's come from the fast food industry, no matter how few and far between those may be. They at least deserve some credit for that, right?
Is NASCAR a company? Sort of! "Governing body" is probably a better term for what they do. International Speedway Corporation is a company, though, and a publicly traded one, no less. They derive 90 percent of their revenue from NASCAR-sanctioned events, so, you know, good enough. It's less of an issue than it might seem, because in this case, unlike the previous entry, what I'm defending here is the product the company in question produces.
Now, let's get an important announcement out of the way: I do not watch NASCAR. I don't watch it, I don't enjoy it, and I really don't care if any of what I write here changes anyone's opinion on the sport.
Ralf Nau/Photodisc/Getty Images
Stock image of a hipster!
It's important that I make that distinction, because admitting that you watch NASCAR is a social transgression on par with saying you watch Fox News or drink Budweiser. In other words, it's perfectly fine with at least half the country. Unfortunately, none of those people live where I do, so it's important that I make my allegiances perfectly clear when discussing a topic of this nature.
With that out of the way, I'd like to add that I've always found it a little silly when people write NASCAR off as "just turning left" and nothing more.
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
Stereotypes hurt everyone.
For starters, even if they are just turning left, they're still doing so in a manner that lies outside the driving capabilities of the average person. They're moving at speeds of more than 200 mph, all while driving in precariously close proximity to each other. Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of death in the United States, and that's without all of the extra fate-tempting that happens on a NASCAR racetrack. Put almost anyone who laughs off the sport as nothing but a series of unskilled driving maneuvers in that same situation and they will die.
Beyond that, it's more than a little ironic that the sport people most associate with dullards and boredom is also the one that requires the most intelligence. Even the most intricate of ball-based sports, like my beloved American football, is mostly just a matter of memorization. Every move every person on the field makes has been scripted in advance; their only job is to know where they're supposed to go when each individual play is called. Only when those plans break down do players have to start improvising and acting on instinct.
Now think about what goes into keeping a NASCAR production on the track. I mentioned the drivers and the danger they deal with, but that's just the beginning of the story. Those cars they drive are being put through the most extreme driving conditions imaginable. That every single one of them doesn't break down 30 minutes into any race is nothing short of a marvel of modern engineering.
Michael Blann/Digital Vision/Getty Images
As is this.
Just to make sure, I did mention the ever-present threat of death as well, right? It's worth mentioning again, because even with something that ominous in a driver's face the whole time, they still have to make snap decisions and judgments about all sorts of mechanical and tactical maneuvers, all in an effort to gain the advantage needed to win the race. Sometimes that advantage amounts to mere fractions of a second.
Again, I'm not saying I enjoy NASCAR, and I really can't defend the idea of watching it. No matter how much effort goes into bringing that sport to life, it's still only fun to me when someone crashes, and damn if it isn't morbid tuning into something simply because you're hoping to catch a glimpse of someone possibly dying. If cars are your thing, though (and if you're in the South, the area most associated with fast car fandom, they probably are), I totally get why you'd be into NASCAR.
I guess.
#3. Uber
Depending on where you live, there's a good chance you've never even heard of Uber. If that's the case, here's a link to their website. If you're pressed for research time and for ...
... some ...
... reason ...
... the scrolling set of pictures on the website doesn't make it clear, Uber is basically an app that connects people who need rides with people willing to drive them around. It's typically faster and cheaper than a traditional taxi, and because the fare and tip get charged to the payment method you have on file, there's no exchange of cash involved.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
Say goodbye to talking to this guy ever again!
If that all sounds pretty great, that's because for the most part it is. Still, there has to be a reason why they're on this list, and it certainly isn't because a higher-up at the company also happened to give me my first job running a comedy website (true). Rather, Uber makes this list because of something called surge pricing.
A few lines back, I mentioned that using Uber is "typically faster and cheaper than a traditional taxi." The "faster" part pretty much always applies unless you're literally standing in front of a cab stand. Unfortunately, that's exactly why the "cheaper" half of that endorsement doesn't always apply. Basically, Uber ensures that there are always available drivers by significantly raising their rates at times when demand for rides is expected to be at its highest. Those inflated rates, of course, mean the drivers are making way more money at that time, thus giving them an incentive to work when they usually wouldn't.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Which would be always if booze just paid for itself.
What kind of price increases are we talking? Well, this story about the practice says a ride that normally runs $13 shot up to $47 in the early morning hours of New Year's Eve, when catching a cab is always next to impossible. Unsurprisingly, this has led to all sorts of outrage over the company "taking advantage of customers" when they're most in need of rides.
This protest brought to you by Concerned Cabbies for No Rides Instead of Expensive Rides.
You don't have to think too hard to understand why (in what is apparently the first instance in recorded history) the customer is totally wrong here. For starters, if paying an extra $30 to not have to drunken drive your way home on New Year's Eve is too rich for your blood alcohol content, you probably can't afford to spend bar money getting hammered in the first place. Keep your regrets to a minimum next holiday season by staying home.
Beyond that, Uber makes getting that ride possible in the same way Walgreens makes it possible to buy a power strip and a pack of batteries on Christmas Day.
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Tip: Walgreens brand pseudoephedrine makes a great last-second gift for the meth cooker in your life.
They pay people more money for doing the same work they always do on days when people don't typically want to work. The only difference is that, whereas Walgreens either swallows the cost of those extra wages or makes up for them by charging 10 cents more for lawn chairs in July or some shit, Uber makes the customer pay the difference. Is that fair to the customer? That's the wrong question. Instead of worrying about fair, worry about the alternative, which in this case is not being able to find a ride at all. The prices go up when demand for rides goes up. If Uber wasn't paying every person with a fuel-efficient vehicle in Los Angeles good money to drive people around during the very worst driving hours imaginable, there just wouldn't be any rides available for a lot of people, no matter the price.
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
That's exactly how American tourists get kidnapped overseas.
People who complain about surge pricing would call a regular cab if paying extra wasn't still the best option. Complaining about Uber always having rides available, albeit sometimes at a higher price, is like getting mad at UPS for offering a variety of shipping options and charging different prices for all of them. Of course it costs more money to ship something overnight, where part of the trip is almost guaranteed to happen via plane, than to ship something that will arrive in seven business days via truck. No matter how radical Uber's practices may seem, paying a premium for additional convenience is just how things work. Instead of complaining, be happy you can afford that shit.
Besides, there are alternatives on the way! Uber has a new competitor called Lyft that's been using the surge-pricing scandal as an easy means to insert themselves as the "good guy" in the unregulated-taxi-ride-via-smartphone-app industry. Nothing in life is perfect, though, and Lyft is no exception. Sure, they're a less "evil" alternative to Uber, but they also make their drivers put a fucking pink mustache on the front of their vehicles.

The commissioner of the state Department of Environmental Conservation next month will meet with environmental groups and residents dealing with pollution issues in the Town of Tonawanda and Buffalo's West Side.
A March 15 visit by Commissioner Joseph Martens was confirmed after Tuesday's release of a state Health Department data review that found elevated cancer rates and birth defects among people living in and near the town's industrial corridor.
According to Erin Heaney, executive director of the Clean Air Coalition of Western New York, Martens called her last August, when the DEC announced it would install air monitoring near the Peace Bridge on Buffalo's West Side, and said he would visit. The coalition sent multiple follow-up letters, Heaney said, leading to an e-mail Wednesday from the commissioner's secretary that confirmed it.

I have the "stealth" version of this pen. It feels great and is very functional. My only complaint is that the black finish wears off leaving the barrel very exposed on each of the edges. The result is a pretty unsightly writing instrument. Accordingly, I give this high marks for function and low marks for durability.

I have been eyeing a Levenger writing instrument for over 20 years, and I have had many pens since. I finally decided to get the L Tech Rollerball with the stylus.It is stunning. It I solid. It is big. It is fat. And I cannot understand for the life of me the whole argument about how heavy it is, big, fat, etc. It is literally balanced and just short of perfect.However, I do have an issue and it is not part of any description about the pen. There seems to be a spring like action with the refill when writing. The tip, if you are a hard writer that presses down on the pen, goes up and down. It almost feels somewhat abrasive when I am writing and if I press to hard down on the pen when I take it to paper. I would have personally preferred that it have no spring at all. Why couldn't it be made to just simply stay in place and not go in and out of the barrel the way it does?If it were not for the aforementioned, this pen would be a steal at $45. It is made of excellent material, beautifully crafted, the stylus is the best I have ever used, the cap closes and lines up with the barrel perfectly, and when you place the cap on the pen to write, the weight is perfect and the caps stays on super tight. Also, the knurled part on the base of the pen when holding it to write is fantastic. No slippage whatsoever. I am going to try to keep working with getting used to writing with it because, frankly, I LOVE THIS PEN MINUS THAT RIDICULOUS, ABRASIVE, BOUNCY FEEL IT HAS AT THE TIP OF THE PEN WHEN WRITING. I hope that Levenger makes a rollerball that SIMPLY STAYS IN PLACE AND DOES NOT MOVE UP AND DOWN.

Makes You Want to Write
By Casoni
from Charlotte, NC
I am constantly searching for pens that help fulfill my need to write and this one makes me want to write. The weight allows for great balance without tiring out my hand. I do leave the cap off when writing. With the cap on the back end of the pen, the pen becomes too long and is off balance.Also, recommend purchasing fine point refills. The medium point is a bit too thick for me but then again, I write in very small font.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Overall Happy
By britishmaid
from Potomac, MD
I have to confess I bought this Rollerball on a whim to complement the iPad carrier but I don't regret it. It is heavy in the hand but the rollerball is superb. The stylus isn't ideal for my phone but works nicely on the iPad. My huge disappointment was the quality of the engraving. I had my name (only three letters) added and I was hard pushed to find it, the letters are so small and barely scratch the surface (literally). I fear they will rub off if I'm not careful. I wouldn't spend the money for that service again but I'm very happy with the pen.
Extremely pleased

I was happy to find this product on sale as had been looking for the stylus-rollerball combo. I am more pleased with the pen upon receiving it. Perfect balance and weight for writing for me anyway. The refills produce a solid line with ease, no skips or blots. I found that the cap did not quite align with the pen body when screwed on tightly. Not by any means a deal breaker at all. Rubber Stylus is perfect for my use on a IPhone. Does not stick at all. I was hoping for a cloth alternative but not really needed.

These are the coolest looking pens I have. Solid feel and obviously well constructed. I purchased the rollerball and absolutely love how it writes. Bought then for its looks but it writes better than most rollerballs out there. The stylus point works great. A little on the heavy side for extended note taking. Can't wait to get the ballpoint as this may be more comfortable for long sessions of note taking.

Hefty Product
By RadDocCHL
from CT
Product is very hefty. You know you have a solid writing instrument in your hand. This is not good for someone with a small hand.Rollerball works great and the stylus is very functional.My only fault with this pen is that it takes 2 hands to take off the screw off cover and place it somewhere, back, table, to use the pen.
Great combination for tech and paper
By markanthony2
from Grand Rapids, MI
I now have both the rollerball and fountain pen version of this instrument and love them both. They are balance with or without the cap. The rollerball writes smoothly and the stylus does not drag on the surface of my cell phone. Might not be a good fit with really small hands, but otherwise a great writing instrument. I got them both at special prices, but they are worth full price for their quality.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The United Steelworkers (USW) today said some 62 members of Local 3610-02 were locked out at PSC Metals, Inc.'s Canton, Ohio facility. The union has already filed an unfair labor practice charge against the scrap metal processing company for bargaining in bad faith with Region 8 of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080131/DC12982LOGO )
USW lead negotiator Bob Andrews called on PSC management to end its lockout and return to the bargaining table to resolve the outstanding issues through good faith negotiations.
"We are ready and willing to fight for a fair contract at PSC," Andrews said, "but we strongly believe that these differences can and should be resolved through the collective bargaining process."
USW District 1 Director David McCall accused PSC management of breaking the law in the company's attempt to starve workers into accepting unfair, unreasonable and unnecessary economic and non-economic concessions that include completely terminating employee medical benefits and gutting protections against contracting out.
"Filing charges with the NLRB is the first step in holding PSC management accountable for its unprovoked actions against these workers," McCall said. "The USW will pursue additional charges if the company continues to ignore its duty to negotiate in good faith."
The USW represents 850,000 men and women employed in metals, mining, pulp and paper, rubber, chemicals, glass, auto supply and the energy-producing industries, along with a growing number of workers in public sector and service occupations.

Very small town an hour North of Williamsport, PA. Home of Mansfield University and a super wal-mart. There is one stop light that has 4 sides. It blinks at night because there is next to no traffic after 10pm. Also home of the amazing Night and Day Cafe where you wil get the best coffee you've ever had in your life, hands down. No movie theatre but every fast food place imaginable. It grows on you, then you get over it.It is also home of Fabulous 1890's weekend and claims to have had the first ever night time football game.

New Meadowlands Stadium rumored to be getting naming rights deal
Word is circulating that the New York Giants and Jets might soon have a naming rights sponsor for their expensive new stadium. That number is estimated at $18 million per year, which is close but slightly smaller than the $20 million per year secured by the New York Mets for Citi Field.
If that deal is signed in New Jersey, that would leave Cowboys Stadium as one of 10 NFL teams (out of 31 stadiums) without a naming rights deal. And it would also be the only one built in the last decade to miss out on the naming rights payday (although Jerry Jones has plenty of sponsors from Papa John's Pizza to Wholly Guacamole).
It's tough to know what an $18 million deal for the Giants and Jets means for the Cowboys. One argument is that the Cowboys could get more since it's one of the world's most recognized sports brands. The other argument is that New Meadowlands Stadium should command a higher price since there will be twice as many football games played there and it's in the nation's number one media market and the nation's financial center.

"Tell me what the GOP (aka) Tea Party's healthcare plan is about? I haven't seen anything (a plan)at all?"--Mercury2
There is no official Tea Party. There is a Republican Party that some senators and congressman belong to. Why are you all of a sudden turning a piece of legislation pushed through by a democrat controlled House, Senate, and President and saying it is someone else's problem. During the GWB administration, they passed legislation for Health Savings Plans and it seemed to be working for those that wanted to participate. You comment brings visions of an abortionist who is performing an abortion and perforates the womb allowing bleeding (that is leading to death) and then turns to the pro-lifer and says "you need to take care of this woman."

Mercury, your response did not address anything I had in my comment regarding Obama blatantly lying and the fact that he insisted in going live with a database that he knew had major problems. He refused to make it look like he was caving to the republicans request for delays if he delayed going live with the program until the database was fully tested. I also have a huge problem with the fact that the federal government is not doing background checks on the folks that are assisting people with selecting policies. They have admitted that convicted felons may very well be taking all of your personal information including your SSN. This whole program has been mismanaged from the beginning, yet you and many liberals expect Americans to jump on the band wagon and turn a blind eye to all the lies and problems. Democratic leaders are even jumping ship now because they don't want to be tied to this goat rope come reelection day.

Capricorn1: I read your comment and just a few question to clear up my misunderstanding I'm getting from it. What I've been hearing on most news shows is the policies being cancelled are policies that are considered "junk policies", high premiums, which most won't cover for example "pre-exisiting" conditions. People are paying high premiums but,get little for their money. The "ACA" mandates new rules to cover many items that are not being offered by insurance carriers. Another example is a child is covered till they are 28 not 18 or 23 if the child becomes a college student. And what "political purpose" is in it for President Obama, he is not running again and why doesn't he just throw his hands in the air and say, ok forget about healthcare for the American people? If the Tea Party would work with the President the "ACA" might just work or we can try the "TP"'s plan? I forgot, they don't have one!

The thing that bothers me the most about this whole evolution was the outright lies that were told in attempt to get the support of the American people. It was my understanding that insurance company executives were involved in the drafting of this legislation since they would be playing a major role. Did they not tell the administration that it would result in many policies being cancelled as a result of these regulations? Was Obama so blind and naive that he actually believed the words he continuously told the American people? I don't think so. Then the administration would not budge on the date for rollout of this database. I have worked government contracts on both sides of the process and I can say without exception, the government is aware at every stage as to the status of the contract. To knowingly go live with a poorly tested unsecured database for political purposes is extremely irresponsible.

I am not part of or will be part of the tea party either for your info. By the way Mercury, I could not be any happier in my daily life, and i got that way without any help from the gov't. Every part of these programs needs to be re-evaluated and those that do not meet what would be a new criteria should be booted off. I am not paranoid either but it sounds like you are so worried that the "programs" could run out of "some" peoples hard earned tax dollars and then what would you do Mercury? Maybe you deserve it, then again, maybe you don't, thats not my place to say but they need looked at and pared down.

Feels story inaccurate, misleading
To the editor:
Your article, "Prelim hearings reset in firearms cases," from Jan. 9 contains multiple inaccuracies and/or misleading statements. I cannot believe that the judiciary is not up to speed on current Ohio law as it pertains to firearms, but the article would lead you to believe that this is the case (no pun).
The article states, "Frost (Judge Mark Frost) questioned whether or not signs are still provided and posted at the door of bars and nightclubs informing the public about the law against carrying guns inside." Judge Frost should know that it is no longer illegal for a Concealed Handgun License holder to have in their possession a gun in an establishment that serves alcohol. The Restaurant and Car Carry Rules Fix, as the law has become known, changed the prohibition of guns in bars and restaurants, was signed by Governor Kasich last June, and became the law of the state on Sept. 30, 2011. The law states that any person who is carrying a valid license or temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun is permitted to possess a firearm in any room in which any person is consuming beer or intoxicating liquor in a premises for which a D permit has been issued as long as the person is not consuming beer or intoxicating liquor or under the influence of alcohol or a drug of abuse.
Also, the article stated "The weapon's charge is a fifth-degree felony stemming from Wilson allegedly having loaded handgun in the center console of his vehicle along with his concealed carry permit." If Mr. Wilson was in possession of his Concealed Handgun License, as the aforementioned sentence alludes, then it is perfectly lawful for him to have a loaded handgun in the console of his car. There are responsibilities attached to that right, if Mr. Wilson failed to execute, could be reason for a citation. But the mere fact that there was a gun in the console is not a violation of the law in this case. If Mr. Wilson was under the influence or failed to notify the officer that he had a loaded handgun he would be violating current laws. However, these infractions are misdemeanors.
The tone of this article is highly prejudicial. Most people have never read the Ohio Revised Code. They depend on sources such as your paper to help them negotiate the ever more complicated journey through our legal system. In most instances, this is the only information they consume to help them become better citizens and voters. When a story that is at best misleading or perhaps meant to promote an anti-gun agenda appears on your pages, it is a disservice to the entire community.
Touching on the Second Amendment
To the editor:
After this last terrible shooting in the school in Newtown, Conn., we can expect some kind of action from the President in regards to gun control, we can also expect reaction from the NRA.
The second amendment "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." I as a citizen do whole heartedly agree with the founders and will fight to keep the amendment in place.
In the 18th century when this amendment was written the only arms known were the sword, the muzzle loader rifle and pistol. Both of these arms were single shot, they were heavy, awkward and took several seconds to reload. I don't believe even Ben. Franklin who I believe possessed the greatest foresight of the time could have foreseen how far advanced those muzzle loaders would become. We might visualize today a gunman walking into a crowded area armed with a muzzle loader rifle and pistol. How many shots could he get off before he was taken down?
Today a 22-caliber revolver is a deadly weapon. Would this weapon satisfy the founders at that time? I believe it would, because it would be a hundred times more efficient than what was then available.
The founding fathers would leave the type of weapons to the discretion of future generations. This brings us to the touchy situation facing us today. If we remove weapons from the public that are not needed and have been responsible for so many deaths are we ignoring the second amendment? I think not, because we haven't in any way removed the teeth from the amendment.
However, we should be careful that certain elements from the far left who are working to change the constitution into a living document do not look upon any restriction of weapons as a green light allowing them to attack other segments of the document.
The question before us today. Do we need high velocity full and semi automatic rifles to protect our families and homes?
Reaction to the preceding letter...
To the editor:
While I often agree with Leon White's editorials, I strongly disagree with him in "Touching on the Second." His premise that the Second Amendment was written when guns were less lethal is obviously true. Our forefathers could not have anticipated the advancements made in guns since that time. But when we consider the main reason for the Second Amendment, it is obvious they would not have wanted to limit our ability to defend ourselves against threats, "both foreign and domestic." They knew government's propensity for tyranny against its own citizens.
The Second Amendment clearly states, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Notice this does not say, "Except when simple minded government officials and left wing fanatics decide limitations should apply."
I do not own a semi-automatic military style weapon. However, I know of many people who do, and I am happy for this. Most are ex-military or law enforcement. Others are good upstanding responsible citizens. I trust these people will have my back and yours if things get stupid.
The Newtown school shooting was a travesty, no doubt. From what I read, every instance of mass killings over the past 20 or 30 years has been by a person on mind altering prescription psychiatric drugs. If we really want to prevent future attacks, we should start by looking closely at this.

Compassionate Allowances Vastly Expanded
Dont Forget to Report Last Years Extra Payment
In support of President Obama's Transparency and Open Government initiative, Social Security has launched a new Open Government webpage at www.socialsecurity.gov/open.
"Our new Open Government webpage gives Americans an opportunity to give us their ideas on how we can become a more open and transparent agency," said Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security. Anyone is welcome to submit ideas. To send us yours, click on the link at the top right of the webpage that says, "Share your ideas on our open government plan."
Learn more about our Open Government website by reading our recent press release on the subject at www.socialsecurity.gov/pressoffice/pr/opengov-pr.html.
You can visit the new page at www.socialsecurity.gov/open.
Compassionate Allowances Vastly Expanded
Commissioner Astrue has announced the addition of 38 more conditions to the Compassionate Allowances list. The new conditions range from adult brain disorders to rare diseases that primarily affect children.
Compassionate Allowances quickly identify diseases and other medical conditions that clearly qualify for Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits — allowing for faster decisions in the most obvious cases.
"We will continue to hold hearings and look for other diseases and conditions that can be added to our list of Compassionate Allowances," said Commissioner Astrue. "There can be no higher priority than getting disability benefits quickly to those Americans with these severe and life-threatening conditions."

Beneficiaries who received the $250 one-time Economic Recovery Payment in 2009, and who also worked during the year, need to make sure they properly report the income on their tax returns. It may affect the tax return of people who claim the Making Work Pay tax credit.
The Making Work Pay tax credit is a new credit established by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and it's worth up to $400 for individuals and $800 for married couples. Millions of hardworking Americans have received the benefit of this credit every pay period through reduced tax withholding.
Anyone who claims the tax credit must reduce the claim by the amount of the $250 one-time payment. If he or she doesn't report it on the federal return, it will slow the tax refund. For more information, visit www.socialsecurity.gov/payment/irs.htm.
In this challenging economy, it may be difficult to encourage people to save for their retirement and their future goals. Despite the challenges, studies have shown that for most people saving is still possible. With that in mind, we'd like to encourage you to join us in the America Saves campaign by participating in America Saves Week, which runs February 21 to 28.
The goal of America Saves Week is simple: to encourage people to take financial action through saving, debt reduction, and wealth building.
Now is a critical time for all Americans to reduce consumer debt and save money. With families across the country struggling to cope with high unemployment, tighter credit and strained budgets, financial security is more important than ever. It doesn't have to stop with America Saves Week; encouraging people to save should be a year-round goal.

Hi everyone!
I was praying this morning and it hit me - there are so many of us on here that are desperately TTC and I am truly one of those that believe in the power of prayer. If we all got together and prayed for each other daily I bet we would have more BFP's than any other group! Please only join if you really intend on praying for each person in this group.
I thought we could start by answering a few questions about ourselves and since I am one of those who never really know what to say, I've added some questions for those like me but please only answer those you feel comfortable answering.
CD (cycle day)
MC (miscarriages)
Diagnosis (if any - for those who have mc)
Supplements or Meds
How long have you been TTC?
I am sure this will be a GREAT group! I'm excited! It doesn't matter what CD you are on or when you O'd or when AF is coming.... All you need to do is have the willingness to pray for each person in the group. :)
Matthew 18:20
"For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."

I held Noah in his bed tonight, stroking his soft, little boy hair through my fingers. I am continually overcome with thankfulness for this child, as we once almost lost him, in our eyes, we saw him slipping away and didn't let go. The Lord spoke to me as I kissed his face, clear as day, "Nothing was taken."
I lay there looking at this angel, my firstborn in my arms, growing up to be a young boy. And nothing was taken. The enemy came to kill and steal, but he did not take. He didn't get away with it. It was like our home had been "broken into" but nothing was taken. We had a scare and felt violated and hurt, and had to make some changes, but nothing was taken from us.
Proverbs 10:25
When the storm is over, there is nothing left of the wicked; good people, firm on their Rock foundation, aren't even fazed.

on July 17, 2013 - 11:52 AM
Temporary as it may be, opponents of a six-story Amherst hotel got their first big victory Wednesday in a long fight to stop the controversial project.
The ruling by a State Supreme Court justice halts construction on the Hyatt Place on Main Street and will stop backhoes from tearing up more land for at least a month.
Justice John L. Michalski's decision also marks the first big win for a well-organized neighborhood group that has slowly turned the tide on a project that once looked like a done deal.
"It's a fair fight for the first time, and it feels mighty good," said Michele F. Marconi, who organized the residents.
Marconi and others have mounted a furious battle against the $15 million project using a variety of strategies.
First, they whipped up passions around the issue with monthly protests in front of Town Hall. Then they filed three lawsuits against the project and worked the back channels at Town Hall – eventually forcing the resignation of a key Zoning Board official.
They also put political pressure on both candidates running for supervisor – both of whom say they are now clearly on the residents' side.
If that wasn't enough, the residents poured more than $12,000 into the upcoming election and have even enlisted a Los Angeles public relations firm to get out their message.
Once dismissed as just another "Not In My Backyard" group, the Livingston Parkway Association of neighbors may have proved Wednesday that it not only is getting attention, but results.
"I feel like we finally got someone to hear us," said resident Karen J. Butler, who lives behind the hotel site. "It's been way too long."
The group has been opposing the $15 million hotel since it was approved by the town last year. Members say that the developers are essentially shoehorning a huge hotel into a residential area and that the hotel project would invade their privacy and drive down property values.
Iskalo Development executives dispute that contention, pointing out that the area they want to turn into a "hospitality campus" behind the Lord Amherst hotel was already zoned for commercial use.
The project was granted multiple zoning variances – including for a key height restriction – and also received $2 million in tax breaks from the town's Industrial Development Agency.
Town leaders originally tried to wash their hands of the project, pointing to the Zoning and Planning boards' decisions they said were out of their control.
But they have taken a more active role ever since the project has become more controversial during an election season.
The resident group has funded a large part of Council Member Mark A. Manna's campaign, donating more than $15,000 after Manna told them he was on their side.
Supervisor Barry A. Weinstein, once largely mum on the issue, has now positioned himself as an ally of the residents, speaking in their favor Tuesday night in opposition to the hotel.
The presence of the neighbors at every turn, dressed in their red shirts and "No No Iskalo" signs, appears to have worked, they say.
The biggest thorn in Iskalo's side appears to be Marconi, who has made provocative comments but has also framed the issue in the larger context of Amherst, which she said is "run by developers" instead of citizens.
Marconi, now retired, worked in real estate finance and development for years and has applied that knowledge to her fight against the project.
"I may not be the average Snyder housewife," she said.
She has been bolstered by her fellow neighbors, many of them wealthy, who have made a dogged effort to challenge the town's approvals on all fronts.
Their persistence has raised eyebrows around town and has even caused other resident groups with projects near them to seek their advice.
Michalski ordered site-clearing and foundation work along Interstate 290 to stop until Aug. 20, when two of the lawsuits are argued by both parties.
Executives at Iskalo were visibly surprised after Michalski's ruling went against them. But they were quick to add that the victory for the neighbors is by no means permanent.
"At best, for project opponents, this is a temporary reprieve," said David Chiazza, a vice president of the company.
"We're going to do what we can to correct what we think is a wrong."
He declined to comment further.
Attorney Richard G. Berger, who is representing the residents, say they may have even more weapons in their arsenal.
The third lawsuit, to be argued in September, deals with the two-story height restriction that was given a variance by the Zoning Board.
A reversal of that variance – and a return to the two-story limit – could be a fatal blow for the six-story project.
"When you get even a minor victory like this in court," Berger said, "it becomes very significant to understanding that a project is flawed."
Chiazza said that the ruling in favor of the residents was "surprising," but Marconi predicted that it wouldn't be the last victory they see.
"This is clearly by no means over," she said.

ETSU considers modifying logo, colors
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - East Tennessee State University is thinking about a makeover -- the university told us they are brainstorming ways to make the logo and colors more uniform.
ETSU students, alumni and faculty will work with the community to come up with a more cohesive look.
Director of marketing Jennifer Clements told us they will discuss making the mascot Bucky look more like a buccaneer and less like a cartoon.
Clements says they will also address school colors. "We are not changing to any other colors. However, maybe the shades of blue and gold we use, they might be changing a little bit to really move to the future," she explained.
ETSU will start holding focus groups about the school's image next week. The groups start on September 30 and run until October 11.

Rumors about Prince Harry and girlfriend Cressida Bonas are heating up after a report on Friday claims her family is holding a "summit" about the couple to discuss the possible royal betrothal.
The Daily Mail, which published the report, may be right about the strength of Harry and Cressida's relationship, but a source doubts that there's any such summit taking place to map out a road to the altar for the pair.
In fact, the source says, it's unlikely any plans for an engagement would be known to anyone but the couple.
"If they were going to get engaged, Harry would want to keep it so very quiet," the source says. "And they aren't the sort of family that needs to have a 'summit' over an engagement."
Harry, who visited London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on Friday, is likely to follow in his brother's footsteps and keep an engagement as low-key as possible – while he can. After all, his brother, Prince William, proposed to Kate in secret while they were away together in Africa before announcing it to the world.
But there's no doubt that Harry, 29, and Cressida, 25, are "very serious," as a family friend told PEOPLE late last year.
Recent sightings seem to underscore that point: Cressida appeared at Harry's side at her first official royal outing when he made a speech to 12,000 young people last month, prompting bookmakers to slash the odds of an engagement. She has also joined him on quiet dates, too, like grabbing a burger together in January.

The Nectarian Period impact event that formed this feature occurred more than 3.8 billion years ago. The mare portion of the basin is about 500 kilometers across. In the grazing sunlight on the floor, wrinkled ridges were visible. Also on the western floor craters Picard (24 km.), Peirce (19 km.) and Swift (11km.) stood out in the low light. I could see the lighter gray bench lava that partly buried craters here such as Yerkes (37 km.). Tall flat top mountains (massifs) beyond the shore stand at 2-5 kilometers above the sea. Both promontoria Lavinium and Olivium stood out clearly in very brief moments.

Moog Inc. has sold Ethox Medical, a Buffalo-based medical devices company, as it considers whether to sell the rest of its medical devices business segment.
The Elma-based motion control equipment maker sold Ethox for an undisclosed amount to Dempsey Ventures, a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based private equity firm that focuses on health care products. Moog said the sale would generate an after-sale, non-cash loss of about $5 million, or 11 cents per share, that will be reflected in its fiscal third-quarter results, which are due to be released in late July.
Moog said it has hired RBC Capital Markets LLC to help with a strategic assessment of the remainder of its medical devices segment, "including the possibility of divesting the entire segment." Moog entered the medical devices market in 2006.
Moog bought Ethox in January 2009 for $15.2 million, in a deal intended to broaden Moog's product base for disposable medical products. Ethox has 88 full-time employees in Buffalo.
In Moog's fiscal second quarter, operating profits in its medical device business fell 12 percent from a year ago to $1.3 million, while its sales increased 1 percent to $35.5 million.

Nara's Fencl on "Dwellz"
Here's an exclusive inside look at my brand new Fencl on Switchboard Magazine's inaugural episode of "Dwellz."The magazine co-creators Remy Schwartz and Duncan Sullivan filmed and produced this short video and have graciously agreed to share it with Tumbleweed. You'll have to endure my weird haircut and a lot of royalty free hip hop, but it's worth it!
"Nara's tiny house is one part sustainable living, one part college credit, and three parts swag.
After spending her fall semester studying various forms of American alternative housing, she hooked up with Tumbleweed Tiny House Company and got the (literal) wheels moving on a sweet deal: a semester of tiny house occupancy in exchange for promotional blogging.
Despite black ice, miscommunication with truckers, and a giant blizzard, the house finally made it all the way from Wisconsin to Hampshire College. As of Friday, she lives in it full-time.
By day, Nara works on sustainable utility solutions and writes about housing. By night, she curls up next to her tiny propane fireplace and dreams of a world where everyone lives within their means. She's happy to show you around her 130 square feet of unfinished pine, but thinks this episode of 'Dwellz' is probably enough.
Caveat: this will make more sense if you spent your adolescence watching MTV's 'Cribs'."
