Mitt, My Good Man
SHARE I heard you speak of the exaggerated envy now heard on the campaign trail. Oh, my friend Mitt, how I relate. If I might; well stated my man. People do want what they do not have. First Bain, then the White House. Indeed, one Chief Executive position ensured that you were a world power. The other is but a natural transition. Instead of having a seat at the table of global influence, as President of the United States...

It Happened Last Night
SHARE "A very small cause which escapes our notice determines a considerable effect that we cannot fail to see, and then we say that the effect is due to chance." ~ Henri Poincare It happened last night. As I reflect, I realize it has happened all along. Each day, in most every moment, I have an opportunity to look at life and learn. Yet I become consumed with more immediate concerns.

The Medium is the Message
SHARE I could hardly believe that a single steadfast individual, could convey a message without words, and still receive such a resounding response. Yet, while there, it occurred. I was struck by what had not been apparent for near a decade. The stance of a quiet soul, stated calmly, clearly, and with care, can move more persons than I ever imagined.

Condition; "Critical"
SHARE I knew that no matter who entered the Oval Office, blood would be spilled. On battlefields abroad and on the streets of America, brutality born of terror would continue to flow. For some people weapons wield strength. Innumerable individuals use words to kill. Some take advantage of signatures on insurance forms, benefits no longer offered with salaries, or just the Health Care system.

Yes Eddie, There is a country that can!
SHARE As the days focused on "change," turned to months, and near two years, I had begun to lose hope. Too much time had passed. The Bush Administration overturned too many laws. In the recent past, the country had transgressed back into the future. Others were blissful, certain a better world would come. I was not confident. Near an hour before, Eddie, a young man, said he may not vote.

The Change Candidates
SHARE Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat the cry is the same, "We want change!" For well over a year Americans have heard the words. Barack Obama is "The change we can believe in." Currently, the cry is McCain is the change candidate, and certainly, he is.

SHARE Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat the cry is the same, "We want change!" For well over a year Americans have heard the words. Barack Obama is "The change we can believe in." Currently, the cry is McCain is the change candidate, and certainly, he is. This Presidential aspirant, a celebrated "maverick," has altered the conversation and transformed his candidacy.

America is One of Three
SHARE The United States is one of three countries that refuses to support a United Nations resolution that would abolish all nuclear weapons. Former Secretary's of State George P. Schultz and Henry A. Kissinger, former Secretary of Defense William J. Perry, and Senator Sam Nunn, warn us. Yet, Americans ignore the cautions. We build 150,000 more atomic bombs, and promote nuclear power. Each kills. Blasts bury human beings instan
