    Why are right-wingers against health care reform, but then they still want to...

    ...whine about their high premiums? Or their family's high premiums. I met a Rush Limbaugh type Con who's brother pays $1,500 per month for health insurance -- yet he whines about Obamacare. Are these people missing the logic gene?

    Why doesn't Obama pass campaign finance reform?

    It's obvious that 90% of the people in Congress don't give a shit about the people who voted for them. They just please the corporations that bought them. Why not pass a bill that bans all corporate, union, and lobbyist money? America would overwhelmingly support something like this.

    Do some "reform" or "liberal" Jewish groups make it too easy to convert to Judaism?

    If Atheists understood Reform Judaism, would they cease to complain about...

    ...Religion as a whole? I think so. I was an Atheist from the age of 14 to the age of 24. It was learning the tenets of Reform Judaism in a college-level Comparative Religions course that finally corrected my hateful views towards Religion in general. What say you? Pennywise: Fair enough, I...

    For all the people complaining about healthcare reform?

    You say you don't want to be forced to have to carry health insurance. Did you know that you have to pay taxes for children's education, even if you don't have any kids? You have to pay it even if you send your kids to private schools? Even if you homeschool your children? Make a huge stink...

    Which band would you like to reform for one tour?

    For me it would be a tough choice between The Smiths and The Stone Roses. I've seen The Stone Roses so I suppose I'd have to say The Smiths. I'd love The Clash to reform but that's not possible without Joe Strummer. How about you?

The thing is, it's coming...
