Well once upon a time in 1776 Thomas Jefferson signed his name on a piece of marijuana, and this document was a symbol of freedom and of liberty, at least for the rich, white, gentry. And time marched along, this plant that I referred to has been used for everything from medicine to the American flag. And now it seems to me that somewhere along the way things got messed up, yeah, messed up, for marijuana.
A gift of God to my brothers and me. Oh marijuana…the government wants to test…

Are you ready for it? Here it is…
There is no cause of anything.
That's right. Nothing "causes" anything else to happen… ever. Now let me explain why.

Over five million people have died during the past decade as a result of the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Few people are aware of the unimaginable scale of human suffering, death, and destruction that has occurred in this vast country deep in the heart of Africa. In the aftermath of this brutal war, children have endured the brunt of the suffering. This 67 minute film documents the plight of thousands of street children living in Kinshasa and confirms the wide-spread…

Let me first give thanks to all you herbivores out there! The essence of today's blog, however, is to bring about some questioning of how your Thanksgiving will truly play out in this nation and beyond. What will your role be this holiday season?
The trend of Americans cutting down on red meat has been increasing the demand for poultry (chickens, turkeys) to be raised for food, especially in factory farms. An annual average of 250 million [or more] turkeys (that's one quarter of a…

I’ve been working hard to cultivate a new mind. I’m training my heart to find better ways than hatred and fear when faced with imminent threats. I am far from accomplished, but I am working. My focus has been primarily on the teachings of Jesus, but also Gandhi, Marshall Rosenberg, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Mother Theresa. I work every day to be as authentic as I can about my own inner triggers, and find peace by working to cultivate empathy and compassion. “Do not be overcome by evil, but…

Ghandi taught his disciples that whenever we make anyone (ourselves or others) wrong (even in our thoughts), THAT is the seed of violence. What a challenging perspective for self-righteous pacifists! But it IS clearly the seed of division, and division is the essential first step toward violence.
Long before Ghandi, Jesus taught his disciples to withhold judgment, saying that we will be treated in the same manner which we choose to treat others, and urged them to choose mercy rather…

Any thinking person knows that the world is in many ways moving in a downward spiral, and an object continues to move in whatever direction it's currently headed. Only the application of a stronger counterforce can change its direction. Miracles are that counterforce. When love reaches a critical mass,… Continue

The New Economics: From Scarcity to Abundance
The very basis of modern economic thought predicts the demise of economics as we know it. And we’re better for it. Economics assumes scarcity. It is defined as the distribution of scarce resources. Such an assumption is bound to lead to fear of loss, hoarding of resources and greed. Indeed, stock market analysts describe the market as being driven by relative levels of fear and greed, fear supporting a bear market, and greed propelling a…
