Healthy lifestyles would not recommend that you be downdraft or under a modern aircraft. They are fueled for more power with kerosine, that lamp that gave off smoke into the lungs of grandpa while he tried to read the paper. Mostly, we can now turn on the lights and not ignite a flammable substance into our lives. Although modern industry, in i

Socrates in his youth was a fit warrior, but wounds of wars made him in old age an ugly old man. Socrates was retired with a small pension when he could no longer fight, and would walk in rags through the streets of Athens in his later years. But in his youth, during the height of the Golden Age of Greece, Socrates had performed with great brav

To watch the news from the middle east can be so painful. We can feel our hearts ache for those dying and being blown apart each day, we can despair, or still search for ways to stop the bloodshed. How we can best apply a kind and wise use of compromise and decision to create fair agreements that all can abide by is still nowhere in sight. Per

Healthy lifestyles have been on the news today. First we saw a video of a day in the newly created city of ten million people people on the Pearl River delta near Hong Kong in China. We see a before photo of a quiet rice farming valley, and then as it is now. a valley of high tower buildings with a massive harbor, apparently with that vast harbor

A student of life, and well into the final third of my mortal life, one can hear one's own folly and reckless statements, long since internally dismissed and distanced from, come at us from the mouths of others. Whether it is listening, as long as I could, to a modern Ralph Nader who I and millions had revered for his vital expose of the fail

The power in this story is that this happened 230 years before the birth of Christ and Christianity, and that many more years before before the birth of Mohammed and Islam. But it was within the time that we knew disciples, or followers of Buddha had arrived this far west, and had certainly reached Egypt to Greece, as Aristotle to Alexander, and i

These words about the use of power by Lincoln had me think of the legacy of power that America had enjoyed during the presidencies of the first President Bush, and also with Bill Clinton. In a touch of brilliance to push all signatories to sign the Akron Accord for some short peace in the area, Clinton held the meeting at the location of larges

Healthy lifestyles would not have suggested you be a capitalist in 1948 Shanghai when Chairman Mao came to power. And history well knows indeed, for the decade to succeed, it was off with their lives, a million bullets a month, for those months to proceed. By 1950, the Panda was so secure in its new throne, while North Korea was a distraction, it t

There are so many examples that I have been studying of great men of history who changed the world in their youth with some massive and brilliant step forward, only to decline in their later years into silly side routes as our modern history now shows. But if we read how Sir Isaac Newton, who may have been the greatest genius known, along with M

This was supposed to be the one. After close calls in 2000 and 2004, the Democrats were poised to take over big. After all, with an unpopular Republican President, an unpopular war, unpopular economy, unemployment, foreclosures and bank closures, how could the Democrats not win? But now the Democrats are wringing their hands as the polls tur

Thank Heavens for George Bush! With elections coming up, neither Republicans nor Democrats want to appear soft on terrorism, genocide, nuclear detonation in urban areas, nor overdue parking tickets. Both parties agreed to take care of you, me and Grandma Jones and make sure that all the telecommunication companies are free to work with Georgie Wu

There has never been a political campaign like it. No Hollywood script writer could have presented such a story and retained any credibility, The 2008 American Presidential campaign has become not only bizarre but insane. Consider the following: First a brash African American guy with a most un American sounding name, Barack Obama, defeats the B

Since she was picked by John McCain to be his vice presidential running mate the media has jumped all over her, relentlessly. Most of their attacks were rude, personal, vitriolic slams out of bounds where common courtesy is concerned, but we really shouldn't be surprised by that. Since the personal attacks on Sarah and her family by the media

Japanese antiques follow the pattern of their mother China, in that as peoples poured out of Africa some million years ago, they took on various characteristics, whether the golden peoples of the east who also poured over into the America's and became brown, or the Indo European groups that spread west into Europe, becoming lighter skin and blue ey

With the record numbers of newly registered voters, the signal is clear that the voters want to take part in picking our next president. With this interest, there is a new wave of discussions on the role of the executive branch of office. Many wonder if the promises of the presidential candidates about health care, fixing the economy, social secu
