There has been much debate in the last few months over the Health Care Bills in Congress.  Much of it, I’m afraid, has been more emotion and misconceptions than logic or truisms.  Few that have gotten through high school can dispute certain mathematical truths that were drilled into them ad nauseum.  One that we learn [...]

At least 80% of Americans don’t really have any health care insurance.  This implies that,  given some unfortunate event, you will still have health care coverage.  What they do have,  those that are now fortunate enough to have a job, and less and less frequently, a job that also provides health insurance, is a “heath [...]

It’s difficult to understand why the word “socialized medicine” strikes such fear in Americans.  It’s almost a visceral response, negating what most of us know and have heard about other successful plans in other countries that most folks here would brand “socialist”.
Let’s take Canada for instance.  If we look at the numbers, we see that  [...]

Writing this from just a few blocks from the UCLA Hospital, where just a few hours ago, Michael Jackson passed away from heart failure. Where I live, we often “hear” the presence of dignitaries, and the rich and famous, since we are only blocks away from major Los Angeles Hotels, and the Beverly Hills [...]

The Republicans love their “trickle down” theory.  This theory, for the uninitiated, can be described as “terms of political rhetoric that refer to the policy of providing tax cuts or other benefits to businesses and rich individuals in the belief that this will indirectly benefit the broad population.”
Interesting idea, but why hasn’t it worked?  The [...]

Geez, I never thought I’d have to resort to being an “image consultant”, but the republicans are becoming soo retarded in that respect that I just have to jump in.  Take a look at the picture on the right.  You probably know that you’ve seen him somewhere.  You might think he’s one of those Wall [...]

“Water water everywhere, but not a drop to drink”.  Something about this line from the “Ancient Mariner” makes it stick with us.  I guess somewhere in the dark recesses of or psyche, their lurks the fear of going without this  magic elixir: it has the power to sustain our lives.
For cruising boaters, having enough potable [...]

Christian Conservative Right, would you like to get back in the game? Maybe win a few elections? Have some significant influence over frail humans? Then you need to change your mindset. The recent presidential election shows us that most Americans are tired of fear, intimidation, and most of all, anger. We don’t want it [...]

WASH, RINSE, and REPEAT
With the recent rash of pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia, hi-tech entrepreneurs are coming to the rescue.  Most people figure pirates probably don’t bathe often, at least often enough, so here’s one solution that kills two birds with one stone:  The instant wash, but with no rinse cycle: This solution [...]
