Aftermath of the Virginia Tech Shootings - Spotlight Campus Mental Health

If regular, open and candid discussions about mental health were going on in living rooms, schools and boardrooms across the country- if people recognized the urgency in and were just as comfortable with seeking professional help for depression, anxiety, stress and rage as they were for things like diabetes, heart disease and cancer, perhaps tragedies like the one that occurred on the Virginia Tech Campus could be averted in the future.

Zippos - Keeping America Lighted for Decades

Zippos are not just lighters. Over the years, they have become iconic symbols of a breed of men and a lifestyle. Rolling Stone Keith Richards keeps a Zippo close to his guitar.

Last week, California suffered a horrible accident and two freeways had to be shut down for weeks-months. If the highway people will again, like the US government did in 1942-3, contact the Seabees (our current military engineers can do it) and they can have temporary freeway solutions in place in 72 hours!

Celebrating The Life Of Oskar Shindler

The life of Schindler has so much relevance in today’s multi polar world. He was no Gandhi or Mandela, nor did him resembled Christ or Buddha. Rather, he was a deeply flawed man. He was a Nazi and a war profiteer. A compulsive womaniser, he was frequently disloyal to his wife. After the war, he even abandoned her in Argentina to return to Germany. An incurable spendthrift,he lost millions in his pursuit of the good life. When he died, he was penniless...

9-11 - Five Years On

Although I have not been affected by the devastation, my family were in the World Trade Center just two days before it went down. A little too close for comfort from where I'm sitting.

Last One Standing

The Volunteer Dilemma. An Ailing System. Unless you live in a large urban area, or highly populated suburban community, chances are that you, your family and possessions are protected by volunteer firefighters and rescue personnel. In fact, current statistics show that of this nation's 1,200,000 firefighters and EMT's*, fully 80% serve in a volunteer capacity, protecting just over 20% of the total US population.
