What is your opinion of Mike Wagner's paper, "Definitions: An Atheist Primer"?
Rush Limbaugh quit ESPN on Wednesday, three days after saying on the show that Donavan McNabb was overrated because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed. Should he have quit?

What is your opinion about the newest allegations that Rush is being investigated for buying thousands of addictive painkillers from a black-market drug ring?

Mrs. Johnnie Brown is suing the Argosy Casino because the casino won't ban her 53-year-old husband from gambling away all their money. Should a spouse or realitive be able to sue a casino in this type of situation?
A federal judge has ruled that a student has the right to wear a T-shirt to school with the face of President Bush and the words "International Terrorist" on the front. Do you agree that the student should be able to wear a t-shirt with this type of message? Where should the line be drawn on such apparel?
What are your thoughts on the "Aquatic Ape Hypothesis"? Should such an unsupported and fringe idea be "supported" on a program that is broadcast on the Science Channel?
Will the newest allegations that Schwarzenegger was sexually harassing and groping women hurt his chances at becoming governer? How will independent candidate Arianna Huffington's withdrawl from the recall race effect the recall vote and the chances for the other canidates.
