Are You a 24/7 Eco Warrior?

No doubt we are all familiar with the bonnet, the quintessential 19th Century head-covering for women.

This was undoubtedly the least expensive way to imitate the latest modes.Read more…Terrorism Starts at the Breakfast Table
It has often been said that International Terrorism starts at home and at the breakfast table and it is really true. You see if the parents have hate, then they teach hate to their offspring and if they discuss this at the breakfast table, well there you have it. It is rather hard to educate children not to hate when the parents are teaching it.Read more…Oil Paintings

One of the things I meant to do when I returned to Scotland four years ago was to look up an old Scottish friend that I'd last seen some twenty years ago in London. In truth I had a whole hatful of ambitions and intentions on my list, and rather to my own surprise and to the utter amazement of my wife and daughter, I've gradually managed to tick them off over the last few years. Alright, I know you can't wait to find out what was on this list, so I'll just run through some of them briefly.Read more…Can You Hear Me, Superman?

We have a slight problem in the world and that is that other nations are teaching and educating their children that The United States of America is some sort of big bad bully in the World. Indeed some of the teachers and professors in our own country are busy doing the same. Of course this is utter hokum and complete hogwash; not to mention a little re-writing of the Middle Eastern Conflict, War on Terror and the Attack of 911.This is simple brain washing and it is being spurred on by the mass media hysteria which was incited by the French as they put out a media hit on the United States of America prior to the Iraq Gulf War II.Read more…Well You Can Just "Go To Haiti You SOB"
Recently I was listening to a news caster opinion segment on the news and the commenter said; Well you can go to Haiti!

But is Haiti really the living hell people make it out to be?Read more…Humanity: Remain Our Human Traces as Much as Possible

The homeless numbers in the United States of American are indeed dropping and much of this is due to the increase of jobs and the need for all businesses to hire more people. It is rather interesting that no one has made mention of this fact but I thought I should having visited so many homeless communities and shanty towns in my travels.In fact in the last five years I have been to every single city in the United States with over 10,000 population and I am noticing homeless numbers dropping.Read more…The Burial of the Poor in Past Times
The burial of the poor was the responsibility of the local parish Church and it wasn’t always done very kindly but sometimes there was good reason for it.When a death took place in the Parish and there were no friends willing or able to pay the expenses of a funeral then it fell to the Kirk (Scottish for "Church") Session to dispose of the body. In such an emergency the Kirk Treasurer was authorised to pay for a “Kist” (Coffin) the cost of which varied but did not exceed a few shillings as the minutes indicate.Read more…Mountains: Because They Are There - II
Mountains may be the waving of the earth’s crust to the rest of the heavens as if to say hello. Just like the waves, mountains can fold, fault, and become residual, and like Tsunamis, for miles and miles around, volcanoes blow up and drown everything in sight inside their ashes.The majesty of the mountains has inspired myths to be created around them; Mount Meru in the center of the Himalayas was thought to be the axis of the universe as Mount Olympus was where Zeus resided.Read more…Vision Of Secondary Education In 2015: Tech Literacy

Prospective extraordinary tribunal over the Nazi-oriented Holocaust perpetrated during the course of a regime known as “Democratic Kampuchea” is brainwashing Cambodian citizens as well as the world. The reason behind this tribunal is to bring justice into the reality and calling for a “never again” sense.However, pursuing the circumnavigating issues surrounding the extraordinary chamber of those commited crime against humanity during the mandate of Democratic Kampuchea, I have found that those concerned express inaccurate number of the Cambodian or other expatriates perished during the mandate of Democratic Kampuchea.Read more…
