OK, I believe that you understand the difference, it just didn't seem that way in your original post. I didn't remember that photo from the 08 election (or even see it in the first place). It makes the skull duggery of…
I can understand why the confusion may arise due to both groups wearing fabric-based head garments, but most (though not all) Sikhs are of Indian origin. Their cultural connection is much stronger to South Asia than to…
holy metaphors!
Mobility is far too complex a phenomenon to sum up with a single nationwide "rate". Here's an example that reflects on the role of race in metropolitan areas and commute zones on mobility:…
We should care about it in as much as it results in massive differences in basic quality-of-life for large numbers of people. Quality-of-life here is not defined by the ability buy iThings, flat-screens, and XBoxes, but…

This law is intended to mitigate the escalation in armed robberies for smartphones that is hitting urban areas in California. Armed robbers are aware that many (most?) people of even modest means are carrying around…
I have a hard time understanding how an self-admitted very wealthy person living in a 2 bedroom Manhattan apartment, differs significantly from the one living in Woodside estate. He's choosing an ascetic life, but the…
No way. Try once an hour at each stop, only during commute hours. Edit: I'm only talking about one company. I don't know about the others.
The problem with this argument is that it ignores the basic contract of power in a (functioning) democratic government: The people, through their votes, lend their power to a government that aggregates that collective…
Even if the income for the poor and working class has risen compared to generations ago, something that many forget is that absolute quality-of-life for many of them has gotten considerably worse in very important ways.…
