Feeding couch potatoes without requiring any effort on their part results in couch potatoes not making any effort on their part.
The early church tried real socialism and true communism with everyone throwing their assets into the community pot, but soon found there were too many taking and too few putting, and had to give it up. As St. Paul said, "Those who will not work, will not eat."

Jim Messina, the campaign manager of Obama for America, broke the news on BarackObama.com that in 10 days, President Obama is hitting the campaign trail.
For real? Mr. Obama has been on the campaign trail on the taxpayer dime from time immemorial.

In 2010 The Current reported that Absecon was proposing its first sewer fee hike in 34 years. That was not true. The city administrator and council have been increasing the charge for sewer since 2005.

Every week I read Harry Hurley, Norm Cohen and Seth Grossman’s columns to get the different views that they each have. However, there is a correction I would like to make to Seth Grossman’s column on Feb. 3, 2012.
Near the end he mentions that for every $60 of electricity we solar panel owners produce, the electric company has to pay us $600. That might have been true in the past, but today that amount is now down to $200.

While reading Harry Hurley’s column in the May 4 Current, I was struck at how little Mr. Hurley must think of his readers. He sets out to take the media to task about protecting President Obama’s "abysmal" record, yet provides no evidence or even opinion for the media’s bias, nor what makes Obama’s record abysmal.

To the editor:
President Obama personifies his comment spoken more than once at an April 30 press conference:
"I assume that people meant what they said when they said it. And that's been at least my practice."
What a courageous, audacious statement for any Washington politician, putting both feet in one's mouth at the same time. Someone should have read him the Miranda Warning that, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."

President John F. Kennedy famously observed that life is unfair, while President Obama claims the wealthy are not fair and do not pay their fair share of taxes needed to sustain government support of the non-taxpayers.

To the editor:
“The friend of my enemy is my enemy,” is the corollary of the proverb, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Iran is a self-declared enemy mainly of Israel, but secondarily of the United States.
The niceties of the high-profile meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Barack Obama have passed into history with Netanyahu adamant that a pre-emptive strike against arch enemy Iran will not be done within days or weeks, but certainly not in years either.

OPINION
To the editor:
Instead of government investing in Solyndra-type energy solutions, energy research should be concentrated on the cleanest energy of all fossil fuels, nuclear energy. Perhaps cold fusion can solve the problem of storing unspent fuel rods virtually forever, while safety problems like the occurrences at Pennsylvania’s Three Mile Island and the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan can be eliminated or substantially alleviated.
It does not appear that solar and wind power will ever become economically viable. Clean nuclear power should be the target as the replacement for fossil fuels.
