I will be the first to admit that I need to learn more about the health care debates. Personally I do not have health care right now. But I was not happy with any of the plans I had to choose from on the government website. I either found them too expensive or found that … Continue reading Health Care Debate
I honestly have not had a chance to watch the entire video that was posted. However, I was reading through the Novus document and I have to say there were a few things that stuck out to me. 1. “<1% of the worlds energy is derived from wind and solar.” WHY? I mean I know … Continue reading World Trivia…
Trust is a tricky subject. I don’t think we can label an entire group of people either “trustable” or “un-trustable”, it just simply isn’t possible.

I saw this when browsing Facebook the other night and thought I would share. I am impressed with this little one’s coordination!
