Argue With My Dad

Now that it is Wednesday, I would like to take a quick look at some of the hot issue of this week and maybe even some of the issues that fly under the radar. I hope you like them. Let me know what you like and what you don’t like.

Since it is Friday it is time once again for yet another snowy edition of the AWMD Friday Free For All. This is the only time of the week when our arguewithmydad.com readers can control the topic(s) for discussion.
