The Athenian philosopher Plato (c.428-347 B.C.) is one of the most important figures of the Ancient Greek world and the entire history of Western thought. An important […]

TOBACCO LIES CREATE LASTING TRAUMA

Tobacco lies are an example of an industry working to keep their customer base while killing them off at the same time. Even worse is the suspicion and doubt the industry wove into the fabric of farm life in a region dependent on tobacco. Tobacco and education are not friends. Who doesn’t see someone spark […]

Getting revenge for the wrong reason is no way to live. Why? Because getting even for the wrong reason sets up the next round. The right reason brings the same result, but it doesn’t matter. For people who see revenge as a way of life it’s business as usual either way. Who are these people?

ROLE MODELING FOR BETTER RESULTS

Who remembers their first experience with role modeling? Did it come from a parent, a teacher, an older sibling?

BOOMER ADDICTION WITH JOE WALSH AND SAMMY HAGAR

Boomer addiction and music go hand in hand. The steps were laid out early for boomer teens. If it wasn’t all about sex, drugs, and rock and roll, then what was it about? Turn on, tune in, drop out? Cool, man. Which ever path taken, getting good and loaded was a common thread. Then every […]

ALBANY CAROUSEL INSIDE AND OUT

The Albany, Oregon Carousel is stunning, but a different sort of stunning. Instead of cute, like nice effort for a small town cute, it’s a world class art installation.
