An opportunity to explore the big - and little - issues of America today. Wednesday, June 17, 2015. The End of Social Life? I am beginning to think that the social life of the United States, and perhaps the whole world, is coming to an end. No matter where I go I see folks on their phones, their heads down, their whole attention on the screen. Somehow people don’t interact personally with each other. I have lately been in restaurants where it’s so loud that the only. We provide the place and, we hope, go...

An opportunity to explore the big - and little - issues of America today. Monday, December 13, 2010. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! When we remember the past year, we realize our lives are comfortable - almost to the point of the mundane.

Bill also joined the Board of Directors of Foundation 153. Which raises money to ...

http://poetsfarm.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
An opportunity to explore the big - and little - issues of America today. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. A Negative Post A bout Negativity. I am getting really tired of negativity in our country. It pervades our lives. Politicians use it to scare us about everything the "Other Party" does. Advertisers use it constantly.
