Small Things Count

There’s a lot of misinformation about Social Security out there. People say that illegal immigrants are collecting money. Others claim an ex-spouse is getting money that’s being taken from THEIR Social Security. Many people believe that Social Security is going broke. These and other myths are explored in AARP’s article 10 Social Security Myths That Refuse to Die.

Not only do these false claims make taxpayers and people on Social Security nervous, some of them feed the distrust and hatreds that are currently destroying our country. And THAT’S a real danger.

Take a look at the article.

Many people feel that, when it comes to dangerous people like terrorists, torture is no longer immoral — it’s the only reasonable option if we’re to stop terrorism and show the world how strong we are. Morality aside, though, how effective is it? Since terrorists use it, why shouldn’t we? Sure, the U.S. has laws against it, but can’t and shouldn’t we change those laws? These and other questions are answered in Facts on Torture.

These are issues that should always be considered, but especially during June’s Torture Awareness Month.
