Another Coal Day In Hell

Many times have I discussed the possibility that we live in a world that is less than sane. Or that I am insane and hence the world merely appears crazy to me. But as time marches on and events unfold, the evidence mounts in favor of yet another premise.

I have always known

Water Isn't Water Anymore

Does anyone drink the stuff anymore? You know, the stuff that comes out when you turn on the faucet, the stuff we think of as water.

I wouldn't drink it. I don't. I remember my high school chemistry class. I didn't get a very good grade but a few things got through the thick

A Religion Of One

Look up religion in any reference book and you are likely to find most definitions begin with words similar to "a system of thought, feeling and action shared by a group who also share a common object of devotion". Generally, members worship a higher being they consider the one true God, or at least

It's All Up To You

Throughout the year I write about many things. And I get a lot of mail. When you express opinions on a variety of subjects, there are always those willing and eager to share their own thoughts. I also get lots of questions.

Interestingly, I find a common thread running throughout this rich fabric

When Plastic Is Earth-Friendly

I remember it as though it were yesterday. Never forget the shocked silence coming from the other end of the line.

I was on the phone with an executive of a major producer of plastic containers. I had just told her she'd better find another line of work because the day was coming when

The Lizard, A Symbol Of Hope

Have you ever thought about the millions of hopelessly impoverished peoples of the world? Of course you have. And have you ever thought about doing something to help? Of course you have! But have you also decided the task is too large and the probability of success, too low, to bother?

Most of

The Mother Of All Terrorists

In these times we are being told to live in fear. But hasn't this always been so? Since the beginning of what some laughingly refer to as civilization, the common factor has always been fear.

A study of history will easily prove this to be true. I won't bother to elaborate. Even one totally

Save The Earth

Did you hear the news? The omni-present "they" have discovered there are two, or perhaps three, more planets in our solar system. Maybe more! Not the current number of nine planets, as previously thought.

Yet there are "officially" still only nine planets in "our" solar system.

Any sane person might ask why we aren't

Just Say No To "Nukeler"

President Bush may not know how to say nuclear, but he likes the way it sounds. He sees it as a plentiful source of alternative energy. You know, like wind and solar. In typical Bush fashion, he told us so in a recent sound bite on TV.

Bush expressed shock and awe over the

First Rule of Freedom

Greetings fellow citizens of Earth. Or should I say "inhabitants"? Perhaps the time has not yet come when we can claim citizenship of the entire world on which we live. Instead, we are required to pledge allegiance only to a single smallish geographic region.

Back when I had been on this Earth but a
