Please Cut The Crap on Health Care Discussions

Sometimes you’ve gotta say “Who Cares?”
Part of my work involves serving as a sort of lay counselor for some of my clients. One of the things I have noticed time and again is people, particularly women, driving themselves utterly insane, trying to figure out the “rules” in life and what is “really” the case about a certain situation. (In fact, [...]

We The People…Make Your Priorities Heard
I’ve been interested in this relatively new website called “White House Two,” which is meant to give the man or woman on the street the opportunity to voice their priorities for the country to the White House and to their “fellow Americans.” Nearly 8,000 people have joined the site, including yours truly.
Not surprisingly, it’s questionable [...]

Critical Thinking is the Key
