The most common opportunity that I myself have experienced as well as anyone else is having a job…

look at the glass as half full. Which, I mean, I understand the idea, but shouldn 't we be a little more specific about the contents of the cup? What if the glass has arsenic in it? Regardless of whether it 's half full or half empty, if you take a sip you 're going to die -- and who is drinking from this class anyway?

Someone else raises the blind, so you call, deciding against a re-raise. The flop turns K-8-A, and the betting begins again. You raise, believing you have the best hand, three aces. The turn shows another 8. The other players at the table don't seem to react, and no one raises, so you still believe you have the best hand. You…

Legalized gambling shouldn’t be considered a controversial issue because 86% of Americans believe they have the right to gamble with their own money. Hence, the moral outrage against legalized gambling is primarily a function of the extreme religious right wing. One of their most influential crusaders has been William Bennett, who affected a number of government policies from within the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administration. For instance, while serving as Bush’s drug czar, he suggested…

musty as old junk should. We sat on hard, cold chairs with wheels on them that rolled when I shifted my weight. It was fairly hot and I could feel the large fan behind us on my back, though it did little to rid me of a sticky, humid heat, as I was in full pads.
