NORTHEAST FLORIDA -- The rise in foreclosures that analysts predicted would follow an easing in lending restrictions, low interest rates and creative mortgage products has emerged in metropolitan Jacksonville. Recently released data from California-based RealtyTrac Inc. showed the five-county metro area experienced a 39 percent increase in foreclosures over last year's first quarter, or 3,579 foreclosures for the first three months of this year compared with 2,570 for the same period in 2005. The increase was just above the national foreclosure increase of 38 percent for the first quarter, which RealtyTrac analysts said could mean foreclosures going above 1.2 million...

Many argue that communism will never be possible because of "human nature". The essence of this false argument is the belief that a communist society would consist of an all-powerful central government that would tell everybody what to do--and would therefore undermine the creative initiative of individuals and the search for happiness. • This argument is based on two false assumptions: (1) It assumes that a communist society will look like the former Soviet Union, or the current China, North Korea, etc (ie: corrupt police states with a feudal-style ruling class) (2) It assumes that people will only work in...

this site is whacked. The whole website claims to oppose somthing with one side of it's mouth and then goes around supporting basically the same thing.

You claim to oppose media biased but are far more biased...

According to figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau, Bedford County has the highest percentage of Latino residents than anywhere else in Tennessee. Hispanics make up 10 percent of the county’s population, while African-Americans total 8.2 percent, according to the figures released this week. White residents make up 89.9 percent of Bedford County’s population. Since Hispanic is not considered a racial category and some people identify themselves as both Latino and another race, the figures do not total 100 percent. Bedford County also ranked fifth in counties experiencing population growth in Tennessee, with 40,253 people living in the county in...

Yesterday was Super-Sunday, the day the Superbowl was played. In some southern city somewhere, the top two teams in American football met and played the last game of the regular season, and one of them won it and became the champion. (For at least some people. which teams they were and which one was the victor was really important.) And the biggest story of the day? That it was one of the few Superbowls where the score was close? That at half-time a pop-singer's breast got exposed, whether accidentally or on purpose? Nope. The biggest story was the one we...
