Point of View

UNITED STATES—It seems to appear right around Super Tuesday or two years before the presidency becomes in reach the political pundits begin to predict who will run or what scandal may take someone out of the running. I will admit the 2016 presidential race is sure to be one that will have minds pondering.  While there is constant speculation...

UNITED STATES—It’s a question that has been asked time and time again? Is there too much profanity, drugs and nudity in movies nowadays? It’s a question worth addressing and quite alarming to learn just how much nudity and over the top profanity is used in movies nowadays. I recall vividly in the 80s and 90s that a curse word...

UNITED STATES—It’s a debate that has been brewing for decades.  Should collegiate athletes be compensated by universities for playing sports? It’s a decisive argument where some say, NO, while others say YES. Some would say with a student receiving a scholarship, that heavily compensates their services, while others would say the mere thousands paid out for the scholarship is...

UNITED STATES—Why, in the 21st century, do we have so many ideologues and so few experts? At a time when our nation and our world have so many problems, why are so many people abandoning rationality? OK, so what is an expert? There are two main types of expert. One type is someone who has spent a long time learning...

UNITED STATES—Everyday life can be stressful. Between work, family and home life, it’s enough to put someone into a tailspin.  We sometimes forget or don’t know how to take steps to ‘escape’ from the constant pressures of daily life. I’m speaking from personal experience; juggling two jobs and other countless stressors leaves little to no time to relax.  So...

UNITED STATES—It’s the one thing that every person wants: money! It’s a commodity that is traded daily to purchase goods and services.  While some have lots of it, others don’t have as much. So a big question many of us ask ourselves time and time again is how do we save more money to place ourselves in a comfortable...

UNITED STATES—So many people are failing to realize how dangerous social media can be.  Yes, we have the right to freedom of speech, but it surely can get you in trouble in mainstream America.  We’ve become a more tolerable nation in recent years; absolutely there is still plenty of work to be done, but we’ve made some great strides...

UNITED STATES—Well that was quick. As quickly as 2013 came, it now comes to an end. And like so many others we take the time to reflect on the previous year: the highs, the lows, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  As 2013 comes to a close, 2014 is knocking at the door and people are already planning...

UNITED STATES—By now, you’re already read the previous piece “Purchasing Justice Part I: The Everyday Person,” here is the sequel to that piece.  So why is the focus turning to ‘the celebrity?’ Well we’ve all seen countless cases in the media where big time celebs have bought there way out of the legal system.  Listing the number of celebs...

UNITED STATES—The legal system in my opinion is a complicated government system to understand.  I recall my college years so vividly because I was so close to putting aside my personal goals to challenge myself to go into the legal arena. It was a battle and one that consistently challenged me because of my ‘opinion’ of how I viewed...
