    We are riddled with government conspiracies.

    Government officials often state publically, even campaigning on, promises to solve pressing social and economic problems. Too often the truth is that they have no intention of following through on these promises, if indeed they are even able to do so when elected. In my city mayors and county...

    Is good health an obligation?

    Do we as Christians or as citizens have a duty to care for our health? It has been said that "the health of the people is the strength of the nation". Are we 'strong' as a nation regarding health? Every enterprise except the medical industry depends upon the health of the people (and even that...

    Burning wood to combat climate change.

    Burning wood is a process that is natural to the earth. Wood fuel is easily harvested and utilized locally, replaces fossil fuels, is renewable, yields mineral rich ash, and is carbon neutral. It can also be processed into relatively clean burning fuel, i.e. wood-fuel pellets, or into wood gas.

    Using waste paper to combat global warming.

    The ever-growing mountains of waste paper could be bleached, shredded, then released into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight back into space. Commercial airplanes could be engaged to release this paper chaff as they virtually circle every part of the globe. The chaff would drift virtually...

    Adopt-A-Creek, and gutters.

    Pulled invasive weeds from about 150 yards of local creek. Got compliments from passing kayakers. Was able to catch some nice bluegills in the weed-free water. Will also be blowing leaves from several blocks of gutter this fall that I have also 'adopted', to keep them from leaching nutrients...

    Will they "build back better"?

    Placing homes on 'stilts' to protect against flood water was a great idea. Looking at the hurricane damage reveals that that technology was very effective. However many of those buildings were destroyed by the fierce winds leaving little but the floor joists and the posts. What is needed is to...

    The best revenge.

    Many feel the desire to get revenge, for offenses real or imagined. For the way you were treated in school, on the job, by your friends and family, by carma, or by whatever. Sometimes on a larger scale as well, such as on other peoples or nations. But what is the best 'revenge' to wreak on those...

    How many Taliban are there?

    Current estimates are only 60,000 fighters. Enough to maintain control of the entire country? It seems to me that they might be stretched pretty thin considering the vast territory they have control over. Thoughts?
