Robert Frost's "Mending Wall" is one of my favorite poems.I have come to think of one line in particular "Good fences make good neighbors" when getting along with individuals proved especially challenging, whether literally neighbors or simply people that I interact with either professionally, socially or simply by chance.NewsTalkers is no different from any other neighborhood and sometimes it...
The Blame Game
By: Robert in Ohio • default • 5 comments • 11 years ago

By: AmericanDreamsShattered • default • 0 comments • 11 years ago
It just shows to go you, that sometimes we get caught up in a seemingly endless storm of BS that it's hard to find a common ground. Todays social media is partly to blame here due to the fact that it is almost instantaneous. It's at your finger tips, that instant gratification of knowing that you can get your opinion out there no matter how well informed or ill informed it may be. We are...
