Really?   I have been telling people for years that taking aspirin does not seem to be a smart choice. I was saying it long before the big kick to take aspirin as a preventative measure. I continued to say it while “they” (“they” are US health officials) were telling people to do so because [...]

How much do the experts know?   I spend a fair amount of time reading about the current nature of the world’s economy and it strikes me as almost humorous that it doesn’t appear as if any of the “experts” really know what is happening or what is coming.   It is in these times [...]

Let’s see…I left off Part 1 with…   The universe is…QUITE SIMPLY A COMBINATION OF MATTER AND ENERGY. More about that later…   It is certainly NOT GOD. But, when we treat it like God (purposely or not) it brings with it a whole host of unintended consequences.   As I said in the first [...]
