Thursday, March 6, 2003Geez, you'd think people could use better English already, eh?Spelling and usage which is as close to perfect as possible is essential when writing opinions on Epinions.com. If there is one thing that absolutely drives me crazy, it's the sight of people who choose to play fast and loose with their vocabulary. One example is the seeming interchangeability of...

This is in part a response to a very thoughtful opinion written just today by a high-school student on the topic of censorship in the school systems. Currently, it is the practice in some systems to ban some...

Those of us that are South Side Cub fans get used to hearing this sort of reaction all the time. For those of you who are from another area of the country, you have to understand that the...

We generally associate the term "cult" with "weird religions" like the Moonies and devotees of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. We would no more think of worshipping a film or filmmaker than we would think in terms of worshipping our bookcases. (That sounds...

Books, books, and more books. I can't read enough - there aren't enough hours in the day to do so. 2. Gift certificates to bookstores - I really appreciate those gift cards or certificates the major...

I am in favor of hunting for food. This is a method of natural selection that I feel is ignored by environmentalists. Whether you use bows and arrows or guns or another method of obtaining...

This is of prime concern to those who are in America due to our concerns here in the US with being able to speak freely at all times. Many of us feel that even offensive speech is affected (and protected) as long as said offensive speech is not actively harming people...

The decision whether to buy or rent-to-own can be applied to many products nowadays. For instance, for a long time, I rented a computer rather than having my own hard drive because...

Most animation is actually made for adults, or at least most good animation is adult-oriented. Think of it. Specifically, think of the themes of many - believe it or not - Disney movies in particular. The way they...

Many of us think of vaccination as being something only for children. Guess what? It isn't. You know that flu shot people get every year? That's a vaccination, against the strains...
