Lesser of Two Evils: America’s Last Resort?

John Kuvinka — Sat, 06 Aug 2016 21:00:11 +0000

The upcoming election faces many of us with the task of choosing the lesser of two evils. Despite the fact that people really don’t like them personally, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the presidential nominees. Whether you like it or not, one of them is going to win. When election day comes, is it best to try and pick the winner? A lot of […]

Europe vs. America – Policy and Persona

John Kuvinka — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:58:47 +0000

The left does more often, but many suggest looking to Europe for inspiration regarding some big issues these days. Concerns like healthcare, education, the corrections process – they’re all looked at differently in Europe. Most of the time the right just calls it all socialism or communism. I’m not looking to get into a huge breakdown of every aspect of those isms. Nor do I plan on […]

Law Enforcement: What’s Next?

John Kuvinka — Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:00:01 +0000

We’ve all heard the increasing stories about the over-zealous use of violence by law enforcement recently. It seems that every month or so a new story pops up in which the police are being scrutinized or accused of brutality. As people become more frustrated with the law and society the number of protests and demonstrations increases. There is always a heavy police presence at these sorts of events […]

Small Businesses

John Kuvinka — Sun, 03 Apr 2016 10:00:02 +0000

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, so far as many are concerned. With the taxing of businesses and income inequality on our minds a lot of people are talking about how it’s hard for small businesses to succeed. In a way it’s been up for debate even going back to right before Barack Obama got elected in 2008 with “Joe the Plumber”, if anyone […]

Minimum Wage

John Kuvinka — Sun, 13 Mar 2016 10:00:47 +0000

The minimum wage is up for revision in a lot of places and some are calling for the federal standard to be raised as well. It makes sense that someone’s pay should be proportionate to the difficulty and necessity of their work, but it’s also true that it should keep up with inflation. The federal minimum wage is currently $7.25 an hour, though many cities and states […]

Social Programs

John Kuvinka — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 19:12:52 +0000

People are seeming to think that “socialism” is a dirty word more and more as of late. With the Affordable Care Act in place now and with a presidential candidate who is a self-avowed socialist, people are increasingly aware of the concept. But what about the social programs we already have in place? A lot of people don’t think about it, but when they complain about socialism […]

The “Party” Party

John Kuvinka — Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:00:08 +0000

So who’s been keeping up with the debates? Anyone? Each party has had its share of hubbub for one candidate or another, to say the least. It seems like election season starts earlier and earlier every year – almost like the holidays. The two times seem to have more in common than just that, I’d think. The planning, the promises, the avarice, and the disappointment. […]

Public Health

John Kuvinka — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:18:04 +0000

Public health, one would think, should be a top priority for everyone – right? No one wants to worry about getting sick just from going through their everyday routine. Some people live a high-risk lifestyle but the most of us just want to be able to make it to and from the office during the week and out here or there on the weekends without […]

Legalization

John Kuvinka — Sun, 26 Oct 2014 01:54:28 +0000

Seems like the “legalization” talk has been becoming more and more prevalent nowadays, doesn’t it? We’ve got states taking some pretty progressive action in the realm of drug laws. Sure, we aren’t where a lot of the proponents would like, but we all have to admit that things are definitely changing. So what’s the big deal about all this? Why should marijuana and/or other “controlled […]
