The main feature of layaway, which will make it more acceptable as time goes on, is that you aren't paying interest on your item. Of course, the sooner you pay it in full, the sooner you get to take it home, but in the long run it is much cheaper than taking it home right away, then dealing...

If the buyer doesn't purchase the tape for seven figures, what socially conscious expenditure would be acceptable in light of the current economy? Do you think someone who would by the tape for seven figures really has to worry about the economy the way the rest of us do?

I loved Samurai Jack, Power Puff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Dexter's Lab. Cartoon Network took all of them off, though, so I don't watch cartoons anymore. It's really too bad, though, My mind needs the stimulus, sometimes.

We've seen the trailers and plan on seeing this in the theater, but I didn't think I saw Batman among the superhero images in the trailers. I sure hope that Batman isn't included. There are already a whole slew of movies on Batman that I never saw, because I don't get into him at all.

Since the topic is "cooking without fire", I assume you aren't talking about raw food. There are solar ovens that draw heat from the sun and focus it for cooking purposes. I also saw a technique using a car's engine while driving long distances.

One of the reasons the country is in such bad financial shape is that we stopped manufacturing our own products. The only way we will be able to create a sustainable economy, notice I didn't say a "growing" economy, is to include more factory/manufacturing jobs within our own borders. Do you...

Have you received a ton of credit card offers in the mail? Have you received a few notes from your existing credit card companies raising your interest rates? The credit card companies are positioning themselves to reap, or rape, as much money as they can before the new regulations take affect...

The big waste of money is probably busting adults for marijuana use, but there are other federal and state laws that really need to be modified so that money isn't wasted in enforcement. What laws, either state or federal, do you think should be taken off the books?

Since China's entry into industrialization, they have gained control of the natural resources in South Africa, and seek all types of metals for manufacturing. Might metals other than gold and silver also be a good investment? Should we look at metals normally associated with industrial...

It was promised by the current administration that raids on those participating in medical marijuana clubs will stop, and a bill has been drawn up in the California legislature to legalize marijuana for adult use, obviously as a way to generate tax revenue. It's a sign that members of our...

One of the reasons to use alternatives is to have more control over your "treatment". To this end, I wouldn't share my alternatives with a doctor as it may change how the perform their job, and you don't want them making little notes on your medical file that might be seen by insurance...

If the people with 18 children can have a show on TLC and it hasn't done any harm, it's possible that these children would experience no harm. The issue is whether or not she should be allowed to benefit from her actions. The "18 and Counting" family has managed to have all of their children...

When Clinton left office, things were arranged so that we would have had a surplus, right now. Instead, Bush gave the money back, then started a couple of wars. I could be that someone saw this eventuality, but no one wants to admit it.

Right now, we are perfectly happy with our "old" television and won't purchase another screen until we are ready to tie in computers with the screen. By then, the technology should be much less expensive, I have always thought it unwise to run out and get the newest technology. It seems to...

This is one of those programs that kids , and many adults, should see. There are jobs out there I never heard of, but the show proves that hiring illegal aliens isn't truly necessary. Many of these jobs are disgusting, to put it mildly, but US citizens are doing them every day. Has anyone...

How as your improved health measured? Had your doctor suggested the change in diet based on blood tests?

People who have several income sources will probably feel the recession/depression less than those who depend on one, full time job.

I have yet to see any study drawing a direct correlation between water consumption and lifespan, outside of the fact that you die when you haven't had any fluids for about 3 days.

While I remember the 0s, the flavor of that recession was much different from what we currently face. I think this is a major turning point for how our society functions, and it's about time.

Layaway might be here to stay as the credit card companies face new regulations that beginning sometime in 2010. They won't be nearly as willing to give credit as they have been.
