Study: Heavy Drinking More Prevalent With Military Men Than Civilians Posted: 9:55 PM Oct 27, 2010 A study shows heavy drinking is more prevalent among military men than in the general population.

  8. Guest essay: A looming clash between U.S., China? By Les Breuer Messenger Post Posted Aug 13, 2011 The term “sleeping with the enemy” has taken on new meaning as we are hugely indebted financially to this potential adversary. At the official level, the U.S. pretends to regard China in a benevolent way, much as an artist regards a major patron of the arts.Make no mistake, China’s government is not benevolent and certainly does not have the United States’ best interests at heart. China’s willingness to loan money comes with very strong strings attached, which, at present, appear as invisible wire but in the future will manifest as large threatening cables with slip knots at the ends from which to control us and eventually eliminate us from superpower status.

  9. PERPLEXING -- confusing; lacking clarity. The causes of the recession are perplexing which is why politicians can not agree on a solution.
