According to hype, buzz and media, this is what’s amazing these days: Nude pictures of Kardasians! Commuter spaceships! Lightening speed transport! Cloning! Teleportation! Same hour drone deliveries! Celebrity and royalty fashion and lives! So fabulous I’m sure but what is happening to the world in the meantime? For me, what would be amazing is...
What’s Wrong With the World: Our Status Quo
There is so much hate, sin and selfishness in the world. Hate targeted at animal rights and environmental activists; those who are peaceful, have class and maturity; those who speak and stand by the truth; those who are smart, right and fearless; those who are poor; those who shun capitalist values and those who...
My Prayer for Peace
I’m in recovery from PTSD. Sometimes its hard. When fear and pain take over and reason and meaning leave you. It is at times like these I have learnt to pray. It helps. If you believe in God or good or neither, there is still a part of every heart that understands and feels...
The Abortion Debate
The abortion debate is not about those women and men who oppose abortion. It’s not about fetuses. It is about women, all women and those who support the right to choose and choose to have an abortion. Its their lives we are talking about, not the lives of women who oppose it. If you...
Dealing with Troll Culture
I used to love getting the Treehugger newsletter but the increasingly troll like responses made me decide to stop subscribing. It just took the joy out of it. I rarely read comments on news stories anymore or if I do, I quickly scroll through the plethora of hateful, stunningly stupid and stereotypical ones looking...

What does this say about our world, our economy, our leaders? It says alot. It proves austerity doesn’t...
One Tin Soldier Update
Growing up in the wholesome, yet free wheeling 1970s, I was able to enjoy many things that would seem unheard of, to those who grew up in the increasingly conservative, and extremist 1980s and 1990s. One of these things was great hippie songs and movies, like The Legend of Billy Jack and the song...
Oh Canada!
Canada is a beautiful country, free and bountiful. Lately we have become ridiculous due to our government and far right and left forces. These forces wish to destroy us our country, and America as well. We need to fix our country, our government, and our reputation. We need to get rid of, permanently, all...
Good Advice
Love is not about tears. Pain is about tears. How to deal with life? Live, learn, love, laugh, last. Be true to your love, to love. It is, at the end of the day, our most precious possession, our most valuable skill, gift, and ability. Don’t marry someone you wouldn’t have children with. True...
The Point of Life
Times are tough, for many, and it can seem sometimes, that life is pointless, and meaningless. It is just too much bad, and crazy. A sure sign of our troubled times, and that we are a species who are floundering. We are still hopeful, but sometimes at a loss for meaning. I was thinking...
