The Green “Revolution” is starting to grate on my nerves. OK, it makes me a horrible human being to admit it, but it’s true. It’s been something I have been wanting to get off of my chest for some time now. All those stickers in the bathroom telling me to ‘Think Green – take only […]

This is a topic that I plan on spending a significant amount of time discussing. Before I hand you the red pill and show you the truth, I want you to explore the possibility and open your mind to believing that aging can be cured.

At what point did Americans become so complacent that we simply accept our leaders’ decisions without even a whimper? Sadly, I could be describing any […]

In one of my past classes, each student was assigned a senior health service to research to report to the class. From that exercise, I learned about so many programs that benefit the elderly that I had never heard of prior to the class. I know it took a significant amount of time for me […]
