If I had my way, no one would ever be separated from his or her family over a personal choice that involved only his or her body.

See, locking people up who present no real danger to society isn't just unfair to those people and those who love them. It is, but it's also unfair to the people who pay to keep them there: the taxpayers. Let me be clear: Locking someone up is not free.

Nutrition advice is, quite frankly, subjective.

Perhaps the most common argument against the advocates of cancel culture is that they're lame and uncreative - and I think they generally are.

The bottom line is this: It is not, in a country that was founded on the values of individual liberty and personal responsibility, the job of the government (read: completely uninvolved taxpayers) to pay for someone else's mistake.

No one, and I mean no one, gets personally offended by someone saying a food that they like is just okay - as if I had just attacked one of their character traits - unless 'character trait' is exactly what they consider liking that food to be.

The truth is, every situation is different and has its own unique set of circumstances. That is reality, plain and simple.

I myself have appeared on countless panels alongside people with whom I've disagreed, at times even vehemently - and yet, the thought of closing out those segments by grabbing their notes and ripping them up has never even crossed my mind.

I know it can be difficult to try and achieve your dreams when you don't have the same advantages as some other people may have, but this is a country full of opportunity where amazing things can happen, if you are willing to hustle and be smart about it.

My later jobs as a waitress felt like a posh paradise after my first one at Boston Market.

To Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders is bad because she and her buddies in Congress don't 'like' him.

All too often, we see politicians on both sides desperately twisting themselves into partisan-hack pretzels, for the sole purpose of defending their own 'team' or attacking the other, without any thought to principles or values whatsoever.

For years, fiscally conservative advocacy groups were giving then-Republican representative Justin Amash awards, praise, and donations. Now that he's an independent, however, many of those same groups are snubbing him entirely.

In fact, despite the fact that he's somehow managed to brand himself as a moderate choice, Michael Bloomberg's record is actually that of an authoritarian nightmare.

My favorite tweets are the, 'I used to like and then you said this,' 'I used to like you then you suggested that president Trump was not the savior of all of us.' It's absolutely ridiculous.

My first job ever real job in the field was as an airborne traffic reporter and producer in Los Angeles, but I was laid off pretty quickly - which was totally fair, because I'm terrible with directions, and that's kind of the whole job.

Personally, I chose my own undergraduate institution in large part because the scholarship options made it affordable for me to attend. Make no mistake: The financial feasibility of each school's cost was a major part of making my decision, as it was for almost everyone I knew.

Hillary Clinton had the backing of the entire DNC during her 2016 run, and yet, after she lost, all she could do was whine incessantly about how many people had wronged her throughout the process and made it so unfair.

Many people have made sacrifices to continue their education, or to allow their children to continue theirs. Others have made sacrifices by taking a path that didn't include continuing, because they could not afford to do so. None of these are things that could ever be replaced with cash.

Personally, my general winter rule is that, if I'm not being paid to leave my apartment, then I'll be damned if I'm leaving.

A person in power should never use his position to intimidate citizens from exercising their rights.

The bottom line is, our law enforcement is tasked with protecting us from harm - not with creating it by levying penalties for 'offenses' that present no real risk to anyone.

The truth of the matter is, 'uncomfortable' does not equal 'unsafe,' and 'disagreement' does not equal 'danger.'

As a general rule, I don't like to see laws that allow for the arrest and incarceration of people based on a sort of subjective standard.
