: About Me

What's there to say?...I'm a composer/songwriter living in the High Park area of Toronto, Canada. I started my working career as an architect but eventually succumbed to my first love - music. This has proven to be more of a struggle than I anticipated as the business connections to 'make it' in the music industry have not materialized as I was so certain they would. I continue to write music and songs, but I also do some writing on topics close to my heart, such as my Christian faith, and urban planning (related to my architectural background).

I came across Helium.com in September, 2007 and joined its ranks as a part of my creative efforts to supplement my income. Although I have enjoyed writing here, the income producing potential for this site has proven to be a bit disappointing. Still it has proven to be an interesting experience.

If you wish to check out some of my songs, go to Ourstage.com and check out Bo of T.O., or go to MySpace.com and type in Bo of T.O. in the musical 'artist search' section on their music page, or simply go to http://myspace.com/boofto, or http://myspace.com/booftop, or http://myspace.com/boofto, or http://myspace.com/booftooo (I have 4 sites with different songs I've produced on each site).

Arts & Humanities > Ethics A dialogue on abortion

31 of 71

From a Christian's perspective, the problem with many self-proclaimed 'pro-life' anti-abortionists in North America is that they have lost sight of values due to to what appears to be temporary insanity based on unreasoned passion. This is problematic because many of them claim to be representing God's view on the subject of abortion when they don't have a leg to stand on. Those who maintain they are expressing a Biblical view employing terminologies such as "the sanctity of life", really need to start listening th what Scriptures have to say. Otherwise their misrepresentation of God can b...
