How do you choose the right path for you? Often in your life you find yourself at a crossroads. Life may not be working out, or you are are not getting to that better place that you desire. You’d like to make a change, but you’re not sure how to do it. Sometimes you’re not…

The Politics of Destruction
What you are witnessing in the Brett Kavanaugh affair is a man’s political destruction. Piece by piece he is being taken apart. Take heed if you are considering a career in politics. This is part of the sport. And it is a blood sport. Lloyd Bentsen remarked decades ago that in Texas politics is considered…

Of course, George Washington never told a lie, right? My favorite myth about George Washington is him having thrown a silver dollar…

Brexit and You
Maybe if you live in the United States, Brexit is not a big deal for you. Is it a big deal, however, for what it reveals about our “leaders.” Almost two years ago, the people of Great Britain voted to leave the European Union. By all accounts it was a fair referendum. Generally speaking, people…

Self-Driving Cars and Hamilton
I was going to talk about Meghan Markle’s appearance, not to mention her media-important dress, at the premier of the play, Hamilton, in London, but I felt more compelled to speak about self-driving cars instead. On the other hand, maybe both issues are related; they both deal with elitism and putting you in your place.…
