Pets & Animals > Animal Rights & Issues Have 'Animal Rights' gone too far?

1 of 50

One of our "divine rights" is "dominion over the animals." Given to us by God as one of our duties. We are responsible for the animals of the field, the water and the air. How they are treated reflects directly on us...the human race.Animal rights ACTIVISTS have gone too far, not so for animal rights. Shouldn't even be a deba... More..

Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: My pet birds

1 of 29

How birds became the dominant "critters" in our house, I'm not really sure. Seems like one day, we the people were in charge. Next day, seems the birds were in charge and pretty much runnin' the show. They did it very quietly, quite quickly and with no bloodshed. And, have to admit, they're very benign rulers. As long as ever... More..

Pets & Animals > Birds The most intelligent bird

2 of 11

Get right down to it, there's really only two contenders for "smartest" bird. The African Grey and the Amazon. Not gonna go into all the sub-species of the Amazons, but the yellow-headed, double yellow-headed and the blue front seem to be the more intelligent of the Amazons. On the Grey side, there's only the Timneh and the C... More..

Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Meaning of life

35 of 122

Meaning of life stuff is so contradictory. We're alive because we're not dead and we're not dead because we're alive. The "meaning" of all that is more than the human mind can possibly conceive, understand or absorb. We're here because we're not somewhere else. If we were somewhere else, we'd not be here.We can all choose the... More..

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Considering the well-being of fellow Americans

1 of 1

Truth is, as a nation, we are failing our citizens in need. Truth is, as a people, we've become cold and callous about the ills and infirmities that our fellow citizens suffer from and live with every day. Truth is I'm ashamed of us, myself included, for how short-sighted we are about the health, well-being and welfare of our... More..

Flying Into The SunsetShortly before I was born, or about 125 million years ago, there was this dinosaur that wasn't exactly a dinosaur. It had wings, for one thing. Not just two wings, as we see on birds today, but four wings, the biplane of the dinosaur world.The evidence comes from one of the remotest parts of China, Liaon... More..

There's more than dogs and cats, you know. I, for one, have one of each, but it's my BIRDS that bring the greatest joy to my life.There's Caribe, my blue and gold macaw. Twelve years old, and as ornery and opinionated as my dear old dad was. Then Bravo came along. A young 'un, only about a year old when we got him. As sweet a... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Pulitzer Center What is the responsibility of American companies and consumers for unsafe working conditions in Chinese factories?

91 of 97

In a word, "total." The sentence should read, "American companies (and consumers of their products) share total responsibility for unsafe working conditions in Chinese factories."Assume we, as a nation, buy or consume nothing from China. In that case, the conditions in Chinese plants and factories are of no importance to us, ... More..
