Why buying home is a good idea
The Best Investment
As a fairly general rule, homes appreciate about four or five percent a year. Some years will be more, some less. The figure will vary from neighborhood to neighborhood, and region to region.
Five percent may not seem like that much at first. Stocks (at times) appreciate much more, and you could easily earn over the same return with a very safe investment in treasury bills or bonds.
But take a second look...
Presumably, if you bought a $200 ...

Preparation and execution of my income tax return
April 15th is the time of the year when Americans can communicate with their government. I cannot testify for anyone else, but I look forward to this marvelous opportunity and I am careful not to waste it. This year, for example, so much has happened to me since last year it took 15 single-spaced typed pages to include everything.
However, to be perfectly honest (and who's perfect), I am a little disappointed. All the years I have included a personal letter in with my tax returns, I have ...

AS THE OLD YEAR FADES, SO DOES MY MEMORY
Memory is a very tricky thing, at least for me it is. Looking back, over a year's span of activity my memory seems to pick and choose what it remembers. It amazes me not so much what a person remembers but what a person forgets.
Often some old-timer will moan about how much he misses the good old days. I'm not sure if he is thinking of World War II or the great Depression. I'm positive that during the great Depression some wonderful memories were created, but I'm not sure anyone wants to ...

Pastors and politicians; It's my party, I'll cry if I want to
Gary Hemsely was running for some county political position - I've forgotten which one now. What I do remember is that he was a member of my church at the time.
Sometimes a pastor can get between the Rock of Ages and a politician without trying too hard. That seemed to be my predicament with Gary. In all things political, I have maintained one basic philosophy: Ask not what your country can do for you, just get out and vote.

GRANDPA ALWAYS SAID, 'THE DEVIL IS IN DE TALES'
"When in polite society," my grandfather opined, "never talk about religion or politics." Then he would dismiss himself from said "polite society" and talk about nothing but religion and politics.

10 Easy Steps To A User Friendly Website
As a busy search engine optimization consultant, I don't have a lot of time to manage my website. But recently I learnt the hard way about the fickle nature of website visitors and the damage that having a user-unfriendly site can do to a business. Now I give my website usability much more priority than ever before.
Here's what happened. I had written a research report late last year and was selling it as a downloadable e-book via the site. However, I was relying on an offline press relea ...

The American Dream, Has It Changed Us Or Have We Changed It?
There is no doubt about it, the way we handle money today has changed significantly to the way our grandparents and parents handled it.
Over the last 40 years we have become a nation of consumers, instead of a nation of producers. We could be described as grazers living as a collective body, not knowing or realizing how far off the path we have strayed off the path.

It still doesn't pay to be gay
It still doesn't pay to be gay by Kurt St. Angelo
From my legal perspective, I see the issue of gay marriages or civil unions as one of civil rights.
The federal government's civil rights laws prohibit discrimination against people based on race, age, or gender. So how can state legislatures legally discriminate against a class of people - homosexual couples - based on the sameness of their gender?

The margin of difference between those who want Bush as our President and those who do not is a measly 3%. The fact is that the electoral map is almost identical to that of the year 2000.
