I'm being semantical, and I'm not sure why, BUT, the question asks, "can money buy you happiness?" not, can money buy anybody happiness. So, can it buy YOUR happiness?

Pepsi. This is a simple win, which requires very little explanation.

Coke is too syrupy, Pepsi is just right.

Also, Pepsi has a cuter can design.

Phase one ought to be education. We don't talk about these facts often enough. The media rarely mentions them.

For my part, I plan to contribute by using birth control throughout my life and adopting children when I wish to be a mother. As an added bonus, my vajayjay will not be stretched by a baby.

Patriotism is loving your country enough to participate. In elections, community service, protests, etc.

If anything, agnostics are humble. They're humble enough to admit that they don't know. In truth, we all fall under that category, as none of us explicitly knows or can prove the existence or non-existence of a supreme being. At least agnostics aren't afraid to say so.

I'd say it's a little early to tell. We've not even gotten to the one-year mark since his inauguration.

And there's no telling what the next two years will hold for our country. It will surely depend on what additional issues we face and how they are dealt with.

Although on the basis of his current work, so long as the economy does rebound within the next year, and nothing else happens, he'd win a second term.

I hate Thanksgiving. Sure, the idea behind it is fine. Give thanks, that's a good thing. But my family always fought at Thanksgiving over politics, and you couldn't get stoned before eating, which kind of ruins "all you can eat" for me.

I'm happily spending Thanksgiving with friends this year, getting stoned, eating a ton, and playing games.

First, I'm not sure popularity actually answers the question of which is better. But, if you're right that Family Guy is more popular because DVD sales resulted in the comeback, then you'll be glad to know that Futurama is coming back because of DVD sales as well. In this case, Futurama producers created four DVD's after the fourth season was over. These were available for rent before they were broadcast on Comedy Central. The response to these has resulted in Comedy Central signing on for 26 new episodes (spread out as two 13-episode seasons). So, Family Guy is not the only show to come back from the dead.

As for Seth MacFarlane being THE greatest comedic writer of all time, I would certainly have to disagree. Not only for the reasons mentioned in my first post (see left column), but also for his other shows, American Dad and The Cleveland Show. The Simpsons may have an off season here and there, but American Dad and The Cleveland Show have been off since they came on air.

In conclusion, Family Guy is certainly a show that appeals to the larger populus (hence the reason Futurama is for intellectual snobs). But this does not make it the better show. For me, what makes Futurama great is the consistently clever plots, character development, and the scifi format, which allows for a lot more imaginative possibilities than Quahog, RI.

Physical education is crucial. For one, it gives kids a break in the day during which to be active. That's exceptionally important if you want them to be focused and attentive during the all-important academic parts of the day. Also, it teaches basic skills like hand-eye coordination and not-so basic skills like teamwork.

Most importantly, research shows that higher grades are associated with vigorous physical activity. Unfortunately, most physical education programs don't offer much of that. So, the problem is that physical education is bad. Not that it exists.

Sure P.E. is in need of reform, but what part of the education system isn't?

Every life support system is in decline. Biological diversity is decreasing at an alarming rate. Natural occurrences are not to blame. We are.

The earth will, of course, survive. But we may not, nor may many other species. This is of a MUCH higher concern than the economy, which is saying a lot considering how big that problem is.

I understand the need to fix the economy, but the environment has been ignored since before the economy was an issue, so it's not an excuse for our inaction.

Finally, economic issues only plague human generations. Environmental isues plague everything alive.

To me, it's a no brainer.
