AMERICA: your ethics are showing
From slavery – to Jim Crow – to the immense Black Civil Rights movement – to the painful Feminist movement – to the Peace Movement – to Americans for Respect of the Globe and the Universe – to Donald Trump?

Read MoreCorporate vs Democratic Structures
“It is great to have a business man as president”. “Maybe now things will get done in a corporate way.” etc. etc. Do you really want the United States of America to be a Corporate entity – like USA Corp.? Or the General Motors of America? Or even Google – scratch that – Alphabet, inc.?…
Read MoreHow to Look 50 at 80 years old!
We took advantage of Bettina Network Hedge Schools and stayed at a house where we wanted to know the wife’s beauty secrets. We’ve seen her for years and thought she was at most 60 years old.

It is the…
Read MoreCreating a Totalitarian State
What does it take to turn a democracy/republic into a fascist totalitarian state? We saw some of that happen during Germany’s change to the Third Reich.
