Thanksgiving

Our country is a magnificent experiment in so many ways. We are young and brash in comparison to many of the world’s other countries, but we are also big hearted and exuberant in our likes and dislikes, in our expression of dress and style, and through the multiple ways we live with one another and [...]

Replacing the God of War With A God of Peace

   Crime and Punishment in America is based on the God of War concept – and it leads to the same recidivism over and over again, just as the Middle East is engaged in the same eye for the eye engagement because they are wedded to the God of War.

Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down

For many years since deregulation my uncle has been predicting a dire financial crisis in the country. He was a regional director of bank examiners for the treasury department, and watched as one safeguard after another was removed from the banking industry through the years.

The Winds of Change

If you watch the stock market, you will note  how volatile things are. In the morning, the news is either bleak, or as of this morning, seemed promising – then shifted again to pessimism. And it points to a larger reality.
If we are externally referenced, we are constantly affected  by news of the day – locked into [...]

We Are All Connected

Today the news is about the world wide meltdown, and how we’re all economically connected. Yes. That’s right. We are interdependent on one another for livelihood and rely on the ethics of each participant to make sure that the game is played fairly, because when one part of the circle does things that are in [...]
