• Maine legalizing switchblades for one-armed people

  Thu Apr 7, 2011
  • FWIW, the emergency situations behind this proposed bill have nothing to do with defending oneself, but with freeing oneself or others from dangerous entanglements. The man who requested it is an equestrian.

• Amanda Knox: Murder conviction 'a mistake'

  Sat Dec 11, 2010
  • She has said what happened that night - she was not there. After questioning her for several hours - overnight - and not allowing her to sleep she was asked to tell them what she thought would have happened, and how she would have reacted, if she had been there.

• Should Nadya Suleman's fertility doctor lose his license?

  Tue Oct 19, 2010
  • I think this question is misleading. The headline says "Should he lose his license?" The question at the end says "Should he be allowed to practice?" The answers would be opposite. Which question are we to answer?

• Which high-tech toilet feature most appeals to you?

  • Saying you are not ethnocentric doesn't make it so.... Pity I didn't read your comment before having a child with my Canadian husband. (sarcasm intended) Mr. Goldman, I pray that your long nightmare ends tomorrow, and that you and Sean can begin the next chapter in your lives.

  • Not because he had an affair - that's personal business - but because of his wacky conduct in relation to it. Poor decision-making skills.

• Subaru’s boring approach works in tough times

  Wed Apr 22, 2009
  • I have a 2004 Subaru Forester, and I love it. In the almost 6 years I've owned it, I've done nothing but scheduled maintenance and replaced the tires. It may not be pretty, but it's not ugly either. I live in Maine (where every 3rd car is a Subaru), and it's perfect in the snow.

• The owners of the World Trade Center site in New York have ditched the name 'Freedom Tower' for the new building replacing the Twin Towers. What do you think of the decision?

  • Spelled out as "ONE" instead of using the number 1, it gives a sense that we're all occupants of one world. Subtle, but profound.
