I am saddened once again by an incidence of police brutality, where the verdict in court this week exonerated two police officers of excessive force (or charges to that effect); that a US man living in Orange County, died at … Continue reading →
What a fun show to tune in to see. Good awards show. An Austrian wins! Great films were nominated and won. It was a relaxed and fun presentation. There was the opportunity to see faces not seen for a while. … Continue reading →
Dennis has courageously defied what I thought were travel bans to North Korea. But, I do see a double standard, as some US women in the recent past, risked life by going there. It takes somebody with his and their … Continue reading →
Hollywood should never be the sacrificial altar of its members’ souls. I truly believe that if Hollywood is to remain a viable marketer, the product must remain true to the narrative of its commercial creators. That includes actors, writers, directors, … Continue reading →
Thanks go out to international weapons inspectors, and internationally comprised teams and leaders, whose work is proving that chemical weapon stockpiles in Syria can be and are being eliminated with methods that spare lives. Thank you for your dedication and … Continue reading →
God bless people so healthy that they don’t need to utilize as many services throughout a year – God bless them for reserving health care time to people who need it more than they do. That’s a gracious act. From … Continue reading →
American patients want healthcare laws that benefit their health. This service has been promised by the two major US political parties over the course of many years. We are tired of it. It’s been a campaign slogan and an exploit … Continue reading →
I knew that this second term presidency would present problems. I had a hunch at some point.
Continue reading →Why would we need a complete overhaul to our United States’ health administering, when the only great concern to most people after all of these years who seek a health plan, has far less to do with the current delivery … Continue reading →
Does a corporation make a product for sale? Does a church make a product for sale? Clearly there’s a distinction. Corporations manufacture products and/or services. In that sense they are one person, or many people, organizing together to sell product … Continue reading →
Why is it that anyone ought to know who ordered gassings in Syria? Only then, would the United States’ government accusations hold credence. Now that Assad has volunteered to allow the UN to have its way with his country, it … Continue reading →
The public news of the progress in the negotiations taking place in Switzerland is encouraging. Is it naive to be hopeful? We shall see. We shall also see [hopefully] who used the sarin gas.
Continue reading →No one, more than a few in the United States have an itch you could say, to go to war with Assad – and win Russian support in the process. Most obvious and outspoken: John Kerry. Russia, China, Iran and … Continue reading →
Unlike a marriage [which is exempt from this topical blog entry], representative government is often, and has been all too often, big on promises for Americans and short on delivering them in the way the lip service has scripted them. … Continue reading →
Having dismissed claims of using weapons against his own people, it seems that the president of Syria might have welcomed an intervention that does not target him or his regime. But would this work while the gun is pointed at … Continue reading →
Definition of terrorism: “a system of government by terror; intimidation.” Just why do men, women, and children win the trust of armed militants? Sometimes states have failed to meet the needs of their people. Territory can be one such contentious … Continue reading →
The US and British governments have announced that they will allow the UN inspectors the time and space required to complete their investigation into who used chemical warfare in Syria. This is sensible and good news. We hope the investigation … Continue reading →
Who is responsible for gassing hundreds of Syrian civilians in Syria? Bashar al-Assad [who does not claim responsibility], or, rebel forces within the country [who it seems are also denying responsibility for]? My country’s government is sending the message that … Continue reading →
The animated video I posted previously in writings, mirrored the temporary satisfaction felt by a socialist movement and national rebellion against traditionally right social values. It became justified, in numbers, as an attack against corporate greed. In this spirit, the … Continue reading →
When one looks to leader(s) to properly govern, one can lose heart and lose faith that good will prevail. Years of disillusionment can cause social ills. But, that is no reason to give up. Unfortunately, many of us people turn … Continue reading →
