Reasons  to agree: “Hindsight is always 20-20,” Obama told George Stephanopoulos of ABC News in October of 2011. “It went through the regular review process. And people felt like this was a good bet.” Solyndra didn’t work out, but that’s the kind of risk the United States must take to compete with countries like China that subsidize solar power. Reasons  to disagree: The economy shouldn't be investing in green economy when we are in debt.  Their are no risks when the federal government supports basic fundamental research that results in greater general understanding.

Reasons  to agree: The Bush taxes only helped the very wealthy. The Bush taxes contributed to the US national debt.  John Feehery. "Opinion: Obama’s fatal missteps." The Hill. October 3rd, 2011: "5. Signed an extension of President Bush’s tax cuts: After campaigning against and complaining about George W.

The biggest positive I see is this, from The Oxford Guide to Modern Science: "... If you imagine a wave of humanity spreading outward at 1% of the speed of light, it will cross the entire Milky Way Galaxy in 8 million years, to occupy billions of suitable niches not already claimed by living things. In that time-scale, there is no great rush, unless it is to start the process before demoralization, destruction or extinction closes the present launch window for the human breakout into space". Does that blow your mind? It does mine. So the real question is who is going to help us not destroy each other more: prophets, or scientist? Scientist give us power, but prophets (should) teach us how to use it. For those who have missed my Romney Rants: If the fruits of Joseph Smith are that a p...

Reasons to agree : +3 When one man marries two women, some other man marries no woman. When one man marries three women, two other men don't marry. When one man marries four women, three other men don't marry. Monogamy gives everyone a shot at marriage. Polygyny, by contrast, is a zero-sum game that skews the marriage market so that some men marry at the expense of others.China and India have a lot of sex-selective abortion, leaving more men than women.  We already have too many unmarried men. China and India have some sex-selective abortion and infanticide, leaving too many men.  By the year 2020 extra men will make up 12 to 15 percent of the young adult male population in China and India.  Reasons to disagree    Score : # of reasons to agree: 3 # of reasons to disagree: -0 # of reasons to agree with reasons to agree: 0 # of reasons to agree with reasons to disagree: -0 Total Idea Score: 3 Podcast that agree: http://mormonstories.org/sons-of-perdition-the-...
