I recently read with great interest an online Forbes article titled, “Six Waltons have more wealth than bottom 30%.†Sadly, I found this article to be a typical example of “blame the victim†although the victim is the 30% and not the Waltons.  As you probably know, the Waltons are the ultra-rich founding family of…

I am probably opening a can of worms for myself by writing about matters that require a revolution before real change can occur–but I feel compelled and clear that I want and need to write. I have been in the process of seeking and applying for gainful employment in the Los Angeles area.  I feel…

Why are banks allowed an exemption from paying a business license fee in the city of Torrance, California?  As I have pursued an answer to this question I have learned that banks are also exempt from business license fees in many cities throughout Los Angeles county, and probably beyond.  Why?  I have not found any…

Harvest—-A most enchanting song, “Harvest†by Neil Young.  It keeps circling around in my head and heart.  Sure, it’s not the only song that does that to me, but it is one of the best ones lately. Find the song here: I encourage to listen to the audio, sing out loud while reading the lyrics…

Those who ignore history and doomed to repeat that history.

I participate in an oftentimes interesting online dialogue at: http://www.doculink.com In a recent thread a writer wrote in response to a query about the best way for someone to learn to be a filmmaker: “…she’d be better off as a producer and writer — writing is one of her strengths — than as a director and editor,…

A military skirmish or war would be a horrid turn of events, in my view. The US (its government and the general majority of its population) is truly ignorant and arrogant about Iran and most of what Iran represents.  In this sense I am referring to the cultural history of Iran, and Islamic belief as…

I want to write about the struggle of my friend, Bob Morgan, who is battling with cancer.  He has an ongoing blog that describes the process of treatment he is undergoing—please visit his blog at:   www.bobmorgan.org/bword/ Bob and I have had a friendship since we were age 3.  Bob has blossomed as a man, husband,…
