There are alot of videos online on the topic of longetivity, and news reports as well. It’s definitely a trend and focus of today. We marvel at Asian 50 year old mothers who look 30, 90 year old marathoners and 78 year old vegan bodybuilders. We may wonder is it race, or economics that...
Why Cultural Appropriation Matters
If you really want to bring out vile racists online just use the hashtag #culturalappropriation. Judging from the responses people give, it seems they really don’t understand the issue. It’s not about someone’s right to sport another culture dress, or accent, or culture, it’s about how it affects the person you are appropriating for....
What’s Wrong with Today’s Culture
There are definite problems with today’s culture. The problems may vary greatly in source and issue, but the source of all is the same. It’s all basically a case of manners. Today’s culture is very inappropriate. It’s all very much “in your face” and in your space. It’s stressful, and no fun. There is...
Animal Rights and The Evolution of Peace.
At the turn of the past century, humanity cared about, and had consideration for the welfare, and needs of people. In the late mid-century, and 1970s, this evolved to include care and consideration for our planet, environment, and wildlife. We were evolving, and this natural process insured our progress, and that life in the...
Veganism and The Importance of Truth
We are living in very divided times. It seems that we are so fractured, so oppositional, that peace will never return to our culture and our nations. What is the missing link, that used to unify our society? I think it’s pretty simple and clear. It is the truth and first world’s cultural reverence...
Good People, Better People and Fur
Good people sometimes do bad things. What makes them good, however, is that, after realizing they’re doing a bad thing, they care about it, and they stop doing it. Good is just acknowledging the truth about something, and acting in accordance. Better people make this an ingrained habit, value, and practice. People have worn...

The Big Lie of Austerity
Here, in the First World, we’re made to believe in wealth and the traditional way of life or to care about the poor, and liberal causes. We are made to believe the rich, wealth and tradition is the enemy of the poor and liberalism. We are made to believe we can have the traditional,...
Why #MeToo Matters
The backlash against the #metoo movement has begun, and while I can see how the aim and method can be exploited, and believe in some instances it has been, I still think its right, and very important to support it. And no, I do not believe, “every man is in danger” because of it....
On the $15.00 minimum wage
I’m very pleased that my province Ontario, has implemented a $15.00 minimum wage. It’s set to start at $14.00 this January 1 and will rise to $15.00 next year. There has been alot of criticism and reaction to the news from the business community, which I guess is to expected, but as a formerly...
