My experience says that people are more dangerous than Mountain Lions. Why do people call police???Why do they go out looking for it? I came face to face with one at spring lake several years ago. I...

What is something I learned from Standing Rock?

Because of our deep conditioning with movies and media, I think most of us harbor a hope or wish that someone somewhere will step in and save...

Indeed, upside-down "reasonable" fee amounts to bogus extortionate "choice". As for efficiency, the most efficient part of the Smart Grid is the outlaw utility's wholesale confiscation of siting...

Barry, the mistaken belief that you and others make is that EHS only means you instantly feel something when exposed. My experience is that my health was poor, I was chronically tired, had...
