Barack Obama should be the next President of the US
We all know it, this country needs a change. The obvious answer for this change is Barack Obama. I believe he has the agenda that could lead this country in the right direction. Keeping jobs here! Improving the economy! Lowering gas prices! And getting our soldiers out of Iraq! Hillary Clinton should remove herself from the race so Barack can focus on the actual election against John McCain. McCain can't be President because he would not make any changes. He would follow the same agend... More
IdeaPipe should have groups
It would be really great if I could create my own personal Idea Pipe. This would allow me to gather ideas for my own personal projects. What does everybody else think? More
Americans should adopt European work culture
As a 20-something female (ok, fine, slowly inching closer and closer to 30), I can easily look back on my professional life of the past 6ish years and wonder how I've gotten through them, with so little sleep. I'm awake at 6am in order to hit the gym, shower, grab some breakfast and commute to work, all before 8:30am. From 8:30 to somewhere between 5 and 6pm, its usually a nice mix and sometimes overlap of client-pleasing, meetings, deadlines, and inappropriate yet wonderfully entertaining, line... More
Let's Talk the Talk on IdeaPipe, and then Walk the Walk
Some ideas are worth a dime a dozen, and some are worth billions in these modern times. There is quite a range. I’ve got an idea that won’t generate a fortune, but is worth the air we breathe. My idea is that the United States, as a top polluter, should step up its environmental protection measures. Under the current administration, it looks like we’re not even trying. We walked away from the Kyoto protocol, we stopped California from trying to control it’s air pollution and we let states su... More
Vote Intelligent, Not Trendy
I'm sick of hearing about McCain, Obama and Clinton. I'm sick of hearing people compare and contrast them. I'm sick of people trying to sway me one way or the other. I think that Americans should start researching the issues that they care about and look to stand behind a set of values they believe in - both publicly and privately - and not the person who is presenting them, or who MTV and all the other popular culture outlets push them to believe in. If the president of the United States beca... More
Hillary Clinton should Stay In The Presidential Race
Hillary Clinton should stay in the presidential race until the national convention is over, because she has more experience than Obama and would do a better job at being president than Obama. More
Ultimate Frisbee Should Become an Olympic Sport
Ultimate Frisbee has had a bad rep for long enough. Back in the 1968 when the sport was created, it was played mostly by barefoot hippies who liked to partake in "herbal remedies" and "toss the bee around." Sadly, this connotation is still attached to the phrase "Ultimate Frisbee", even though in today's game, this couldn't be further from the truth. As most things that have been around for 40-some years, the sport has changed, even evolved. Now the sport is extremely physically demanding, requi... More
Let's allow Steriods and HGH in professional sports.
What is the problem with allowing pro athletes to use additional resources, such as steroids, to play at an even higher level? I mean aren't we paying a lot of money to be entertained at these sporting events. I know I would have no problem watching an 6'7" athlete who weights 375lbs of solid muscle hit a home run every at bat or throwing a 150mph fastball. And how great would it be to see a Quarterback throw the football from endzone to endzone without even breaking a sweat? And wouldn't it... More
The Pennsylvania Democratic Debate is a farce.
The Pennsylvania Democratic Debate is a farce. That is right you herd me, it doesn't mean squat. Today is an important date in the democratic process. It is the Pennsylvania Democratic Debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama held at Drexel University. As I was watching them and flipping between reruns of Law and Order: SVU, it occurred to me that the debate was dry and mundane. Mostly because it wasn't a debate, it was just reiterating the talking points, that they have already ma... More
iPhone should have a voice recorder
The Apple iPhone should include a voice recorder in it. This would be very handy when you need to remember something important. Or you are sitting in front of the fridge tallying all the things you need at the store. More
