How many worlds can this planet sustain?

We are appoaching an age of diminished expectations and shrinking resources. The "third world" is bursting with children and hungry mouths to feed. The "first world" is running out of room with the constant building of shopping malls and condominiums. It comes to pass that we have to ask the... Sign in to see full entry.

Why are actresses well known for hooker roles?

Jane Fonda was one, so was Julia Roberts and Mira Sorvino. Actress in Hollywood don't become very famous until they've had the hooker role. A few exceptions are always there, but the above mentioned got their break into the "A" list because of those roles. Its interesting to note, that if an... Sign in to see full entry.

I just saw the most incredible movie

I saw this movie on cable tv called "What the bleep do we know?" It was part documentary, and part philosophical treatise on the nature of reality. The movie profoundly shook my view of the world. I am now a bit different because of having seen this exercise in the existential life style. I want to... Sign in to see full entry.

Conservatives=Extremists. Why can't there be another way?

It seems these days the people that are the most politically active are the good 'ol boys of the WASP establishment. I don't know why these choose to be so darn stingy or a wisper away from total chaos, but they are. Their pro-choice philosophy is increasing an over-populated world that is already...

It seems that this Christmas will be good for everyone

The way things are shaping up for the retail sector, it seems as though it will be a good Christmas for them after all. They are benefitting now from the decreased price of gasoline while keeping their prices higher. Everybody is discounting and spending and counting. What are we going to do as a...

There's got to be another way to make a living

We all seem to be caught in the paradigm of economic growth. This is the way the US economy has been going for a long time now. Two-thirds of the economy is consumer spending. That means that everyone has to buy, buy, buy in order to make things happen. The US economy is no longer the only one that... Sign in to see full entry.

Initimidated by the beautiful people and bloggers

I went to a downtown shopping complex in Boston the other day and found it very intimidating. There were big bosomed blondes and really good looking guys in new coats and designer jackets all over the place. The outfits looked new and fresh off the rack, like they were buying new clothes every... Sign in to see full entry.

Send the illegal's home without a blogger basket

It goes without saying, that illegal immigrants are: 1. Causing problems all over the place...not major problems but lots of little minor ones. 2. They are the ones that are taking legit jobs from Americans who DO want to work. 3. They are the ones being groomed to take over a nice house and car and... Sign in to see full entry.

Why are Jehova Witnesses so sincerely stupid?

I just had a talk with someone who doesn't believe in medication and using it to help herself come out of her neurotic behavior. I realize now that religion can be used by the powerfull to control and manipulate the worst in people. When we have modern medicine that can cure any type of condition or...

"Where you from?" rarely applies in this decade

Since I am a minority in this society, and not the usual type of minorty (Black or Hispanic), I have been asked the above question repeatedly. Recently though, I've noticed that the de facto situation about my ethinicity is taken for granted. So I can just chill and be one of the gang. That might be... Sign in to see full entry.
