As the holiday season approaches, the theory is that people’s attitudes change. Supposedly at this time of year, people become more forgiving, more aware of the needs of others … in short more caring. Whether this actually happens or not is debatable and a matter of personal experience. But even if this is truly what […]

This is not an opinion, but simple fact. Change, innovation, ANYTHING new requires original ideas, and the very definition of original requires NON-CONFORMIST. Humanity would never even have gotten beyond “primitive” […]
When I got out of college, I worked a few years in the stock room of a Sears. In the manner of corporations, we usually had two people doing the job of six. Also in the manner of corporations, the setup of the store AND the stockroom was determined by people sitting at a desk […]

There are right wingers, centrists, left wingers and all of them claim that they want to achieve peace. When I was growing up, people around me didn’t just dislike but hated the State of Israel because they thought Israel […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As part of my pursuit of a better me, I use Lumosity. Lumosity is a site devoted to exercising the brain. I have always believed keeping the brain strong is just as important as keeping the body healthy. Add to this the history in my family of brain related diseases (Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s), I want […]
I have been quiet here lately, as is no doubt obvious to any who actually pay attention to this site. Some might be curious why, more likely few are really interested. And that is precisely why I have been quiet. I have once again been wrestling with the concept of “Why bother?” What is the […]

We have a tendency to equate those who commit evil with larger groups, simply because we do not truly understand or have the correct information. A good friend of mine has shared this in an attempt […]

It is also generally not something that happens wholesale. If we want to change the course of humanity, it is not as simple as writing convincing words and just making it happen. Especially when we are talking about billions of humans, many who […]

The first and basic definition … right from the internet (which of course never lies) … is “the governing body of a nation, state, or community”. Or in even simpler terms … the ones in charge.
