Sharia Law in US: It's happening Multiculturalism seems to be working well here in the US whereas in Europe immigrants seem to exploit the freedom they are given.

Organic vs Conventional Meats Conventional raising of cattle treats animals like production units. These creatures never set a foot on grass or eat it. We grow grains to fee it to cows. There is a more humane way of raising animals that is also more environmentally friendly. Pasturing benefits the farmer, the animals, the consumers who drink the milk, and perhaps most of all, the land and environment on which it all depends.

Not so Happy Valentine? V-Day Frenzy can drive a single person mad in a society filled with couples.Our hormones keep pushing us into that direction of mating, yet we all stumble on, looking for another chance in the school of hard knocks, sometimes resigning ourselves to not having any luck in this game of love. It's just another day for selling merchandise at a time of year that would otherwise be very quiet with Christmas over and Easter far away.

What would Jesus have bought? In the lead up to Christmas, millions of Americans worship at the altar of consumerism hunting for bargains for their loved ones. I don't do Xmas anymore. The shopping frenzy leaves me cold. Yet it is our citizens' duty to help jumpstart the malingering economy out of its recession. Or what was the birth of Jesus all about?
