Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms Evaluating faith healing: 3 of 17
Faith Healing may be a restrictive misnomer, relegating the concept of healing through other than medical or scientifically verifiable means, to the stockpiles of agnostic affirmations. The religious connotation is undeniable and in this age of apprehensive consternation on most things religious, it may be time to tweak the t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Shoring up a weak US dollar in the global economy: 3 of 13
The answer is infinitely simple and infinitely complex. Get out of Iraq.We can analyze and agonize through endless statistics and currency movements.We can contemplate the machinations of multiple heads of state clamoring to denigrate the image of America and deface its currency.

Currency in today's society is the final bastion protecting independence of state and culture.The world's two largest trading partners, the United States and Canada, would form a powerful "currency block" although the US would have its own currency decisions blurred unless it just stampeded over Canadian desires and needs.

Religion & Spirituality > Self-Awareness & Realization The benefits of listening to your inner voice: 2 of 8
Within each of us is our barely audible Soul - our ever prescient and discerning intuitive knower. We are two very diverse energies. One is a Self and one is a Soul. In childhood we are more cognizant of the Soul's presence. As we grow older, external energies and influences cloud that vision. For most of us, it takes a littl... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should smoking be allowed in public places?: 127 of 363
Presence of such a question is evidence of progression in human education over the past 50 years. It might also be a manifestation of advancing wisdom. The inference is that there is now a broadening consensus that while some of us satisfy oral, chemical or psychological needs and urges, concern should be demonstrated for the... More..

Only entrepreneurs really understand accountability. In the typical publicl... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Ideal models of democratic government: 7 of 20
The US and Canada/Great Britain present some accommodations analogous to the framework contemplated in a democratic model, although a pure democracy is currently impossible to find in any existing federation. All three countries are stuck in 200 year old structures whose frameworks were implemented in the context of social an... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Economic News Does stock market volatility in 2007 signal a coming depression?: 2 of 5
HARDLY. There is a great disconnect between the prevailing events impacting the economy, and the current US stock market. This disconnect is NOT obvious. The US markets remain a principal and dominant safe haven for foreign and off-shore capital, not just US based capital. This is so to a degree never before seen, and certain... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Heaven, Hell & Afterlife What happens when we die?: 80 of 193
I died from a massive heart attack in the cold, impersonal fluorescence of a hospital emergency room almost ten years ago. The experience convinced me that we are both a Soul and a Self, traveling together.At death, the Self, the body, dies while the Soul, a very distinct energy from the Self, departs seemlessly from the corp...
