War and Peace
It is August, 2002, a year after 9/11 and the US administration is threatening to invade Iraq. The reasons were the horrible weapons Saddam had and the fact that Iraq harbored and aided terrorists. Never mind that not one single Iraqi was on any one of those planes, and that Osama Bin … read more

Electric Cars
I have owned electric cars since 1990. When the Exxon Valdez spilled millions of gallons of oil off the Alaskan coastline, I was very much on my high horse about it, (“Damn those oil companies” etc) until I realized that I was part of the reason that the Exxon Valdez was out there in the first …read more

Overpopulation
I believe that human overpopulation is the biggest issue we face today. When I was born, the world population was 3 billion people. Now, 42 years later, the world population has more than doubled to 6.4 billion. Environmentally, we cannot make real strides unless we deal with the … read more

Simple Living
I think the idea of living simply has resonated with me since I was a child. when my dad started us kids on collecting things. He loved to collect stamps and coins, so he encouraged us to have a collection of some sort, and whenever he went on a business trip he would bring back a glass… read more
