Point of View

UNITED STATES—This is a column I’ve wanted to do for quite some time, and with retailer Toys R’ Us shutting its doors, we have to discuss rather we could soon see the demise of large big box retailers. I have seen a lot of retail chains shut its doors during my lifetime. There were stores like Montgomery Ward, Mervyns,...

UNITED STATES—I used to think for years that writing was my primary solace when it comes to relaxing the mind. However, I’ve come to recently discover that something I used to be skilled at as a kid, seems to provide the same solace for me as an adult. As a kid I was coined the video game king. Don’t...

UNITED STATES—Food, it’s a universal element that all Americans need to survive, however, we live in a world where there are so many individuals who don’t have any food or not enough on a daily basis. I will be the first person to admit that I do not waste food in any capacity. When I do, the first thing...

UNITED STATES—North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, fresh off his false charm offensive with the weak South Koreans at the Olympics, decided this week he wants to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. With his willing lapdog/foolish South Korean Presidential counterpart Moon cheer leading, Kim had the message delivered in person to President Trump that he would like a face-to-face meeting. Seizing on Kim’s odd and...

UNITED STATES—When Obama first took office I was happy. I was young, naïve and I thought it would be nice to have a good looking president for a change. Well, that wasn’t the only thing. The fact that he promised to use Twitter and YouTube to “connect with the youth of America” was impressive. It was kind of neat...

UNITED STATES—There are 24 hours in a given day, well to be exact its only 23 hours and some minutes. For most Americans the notion of having enough time is something that seems incomprehensible. For most of us we spend 8-9 hours working, factor in another 1-2 hours of travel time to and from work, 6-8 hours sleeping, and...

UNITED STATES—It used to be fun to watch the red carpet for many of the awards shows during awards season, but man has things changed in recent years. I have a vast level of respect for those who have become titans in the entertainment field of journalism and know what questions to ask and how to ask them to...

UNITED STATES—Children are sponges for knowledge and information. They are born a virtual blank slate. They pay attention to everything you say to them. You are the purveyor of all knowledge. Children can't distinguish between when you are serious and when you say something impulsively, without thinking. A single comment can stay with a child for the rest of his...

UNITED STATES—The ability to communicate is a skill that so many people fail to grasp its importance. I really want to have a conversation about the notion of communication because it seems like Americas are communicating less and less each day. I mean the advancement of technology is a major thorn in this development. Making the situation worse is...

UNITED STATES—Divorce, I would argue many Americans have encountered or at least experienced the drawbacks of divorce. I hate when people compare divorce to death, while devastating, it’s not like something no longer being in the presence on Earth, but things as we know it will never ever be the same. I first experienced the aftereffects of divorce when...
