(No Ratings Yet)Since our world is becoming smaller with ever more increasing contact between peoples of the world, it is important to remember that we are all human, we all breathe the same air, we all love our children, and we all are mortal. As Jimmy Carter said in his recent acceptance speech for his Nobel Peace […]

(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5)Between 1840 and 1980 every President elected in the score year (a year divided by 20) has died in office. Some may say Ronald Reagan didn’t die, but he was a victim of an assasination attempt which he survived. Maybe he died but he forgot. Maybe that was uncalled for humor. But now we have […]

The I35-W collapse was the worst catastrophe that has ever befallen the Twin Cites. “Things like that just don’t happen here” is a familiar sentiment.

(2 votes, average: 3.5 out of 5)For the past six years in America there has been a government for those people, by those people and of those people. Unfortunately, that the founding fathers’ message. The checks and balances written into our constitution were expressly written to avoid a President having absolute control over all facets of American life. […]

(2 votes, average: 4 out of 5)Once again Bono and friends were on hand at another G8. But all that’s starry does not necessarily produce a new development paradigm for Africa or tackle climate change.
