When I was in college, I purchased my first car my senior year. It was a 1989 Subaru DL and I was purchasing it in 1998. The air condition worked only certain days of the week and if my friends and my brother sat in the back seat, the bottom of the car scrapped [...]
I was listening to the Chris Baker show the other day and I must admit the topic was very interesting. He was talking about traditional values, respect for marriage and family, and the ignorance of cheating husbands. He basically, in so many words, said there was no excuse for cheating and any man that [...]
My article on the space program was controversial as I knew it would be and I received a lot of responses from it. I was so impressed with the statistics that Jim presented on wasteful spending in America that is superior to the cost of the space program, that I asked his permission to repost [...]
As much as I think it is interesting to look for E.T. and find surface water on Mars or spend time on a space station like the Jetsons millions of miles above the Earth, I just wonder about our deficit. We have all heard the saying, “you must have money to burn” in reference [...]

When I was 7 years old, my father was killed in a car wreck. He was hit by a drunk driver ending his life at the tender age of 36. The drunk driver was also killed in the car wreck. My father in a lot of ways laid the foundation for my perception of [...]
…I mean “medical” condition. Paris Hilton, heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune and convict, was released from prison after only serving three days out of a 40 something day sentence. Normally I do not talk about so-called celebrities, but in this case it is more an issue about the justice system in America. [...]
I was at the coffee house that I like to go to in the Heights eating lunch after meeting with a client, and we engaged in some interesting conversations about entrepreneurship. We talked about many topics, but the one topic that stuck out like a sore thumb to me (as we were venting) was…Why [...]
