May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.

May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.

May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.

The autombile in Our Social Predicament

Originally used as basic transportation for home and business the automobile has become much more since the days of the Model T Ford.

Gambling is a Sick Tax

I think BC is the first NA province/state to introduce online government gambling. They may defend their motives much as the tobacco industry has but it is wrong. It does not make sense that a government would aggressively promote an unhealthy product, gambling, to its people. When the government reports the income from lotteries and casinos they should balance the books with the loss to players, their citizens.

There is a treasury of life enhancing tips and… Continue
