Writing By CandlelightThe flame flickers,casting shadows on the walls.Strange images dance around the room,bringing to mind, creatures not of this world.Do they come from a different world,or from a mind not set in this one? More..

For 30 Years, I drove a truck and moved furniture from coast to coast.I worked for several different moving companies, but the story always seem to be the same. It was back breaking work, to say the least, but in the early 70s,there was a lot of money to be made, and I found that a few vitamin pills and lots of money can temp... More..

TRACKS As I made my way down the path, I took note of different marks made in the snow by different things. Boot tracks told me that there had been human traffic before me. It had been a while, as the light, falling snow had partially covered them. It had only, recently,started to snow again. Two sets of rabbit tracks crossed... More..

Standing there, not knowing what to do,a man so dirty and so bearded, as to be unrecognizable.Trying to decide, and finally out of desperation, he asks.Can you spare a little change, or a cup of coffee,and I can see the look of please in his eyes; A look of total abandonment,this man, who once walked with pride.Somewhere, lif...

Crickets The day has been a hot one, but finally, evening.The air cools, and the sun goes down; Let the music begin. To some, they may be only a bug, but without Crickets,who would want to stay the night and sing their song. It would never be a true Summer night without the sound,of their Choir in the sultry mist. For what th... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq War in Iraq: Has the proposed withdrawal of allied troops from Iraq come too late?: 7 of 27
WASTED TIME AND LIVES Just how long would some people suggest we pour American lives and money into this fruitless effort? It is like pouring coffee into a bottomless cup, and hoping , Eventually, it will be full. If, it is a matter of waiting till the people of Iraq can defend themselves, why don't we just issue them all fac... More..

There are many pros and cons about Barack Obama, as to whether or not he has any experience in foreign affairs, or if he even understands what is going on in the world.Considering the fact that he spent some of his younger years in the far east and has a very good understanding of the people and the way they think, actually, ...

Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Does the US have a moral obligation to stay in Iraq until peace is secured?: 15 of 48
SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN It is no longer a question of whether or not it is a moral obligation, but now a question of common sense. It makes no sense to stay there until we are totally drained of money and troops, plus the fact that they want us to leave. It is doubtful that Saddam Hussein had anything to do with 9/11, and for s... More..

Morning In Manila With my first cup of coffee in hand, I peered out from the 10th floor window of my hotel across Manila Bay. This was the coolest time of day and the city was still relatively quiet; not so during the day, but mornings were beautiful. Down on the street, along the Bay Walk, a group of people have gathered to ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Asia Local Government: Bad political behavior: 1 of 3
Wrong Priorities The United States is spending 10 Billion a month (so I read) in Iraq, trying to do something we can not do; wasting time and money. What about the Philippines? Even tho our military was asked to leave the Philippines many years ago, there were also a lot that didn't want to see us go. It didn't help the econo... More..
