About me - Steve Lussing

"Well-rounded" is probably the best way to describe me. And I'm not talking physique here. I have done almost everything you can think of, from (in no particular order) driving taxis to gardening to washing windows to route sales to material handling to electronic

Politics, News & Issues > Pulitzer Center Should the US consider Ethiopia an ally despite its poor human rights record?: 1 of 37

Perhaps nowhere is the issue of strategic alliance more a function of context than where it concerns Ethiopia.

Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Thoughts on global warming: 2 of 56

It is an indisputable fact that the world is going through a phase of climate change but are we completely right in blaming only ourselves, and where the burden does lie on our shoulders, are we ever really going to do anything about it?

Sciences > Physics Is time travel possible?: 2 of 47

Time Travel: A Figment of the Imagination It is a tempting scenario: step onto a hi-tech captain's bridge straight out of Star Trek; strap yourself into a comfortable reclining seat in front of a complex control panel; push a few buttons; throw a few switches; and lie back and close your eyes as your environment seems to spi...

As the populations of Ethiopia and Kenya continue to grow, access to that most fundamental of all natural resources - water - is becoming ever more problematic.

If we reach back far enough into ancient history what was knowledge then was as often as not the product of a fertile imagination, albeit probably of pure genius since only the learned and gifted in those days were literate.

Religion & Spirituality > Islam Prophet Muhammad (PBUH): The ideal role model: 1 of 11

In many religions it is virtually a sin to question the worthiness of prophetic instruction, let alone the accuracy of the records of their words. The longer the time that has passed between the words of a prophet and the present, the more sacred that their words become. This leaves one to wonder, "Where are the prophets of ...

Scientology: cult or religion - you decide As with any well known religion, Scientology too has a basic belief structure which borders on legend and on which lie the foundations for the establishment of its tenets and its precepts.

Health & Fitness > Cancer Early signs of pancreatic cancer: 1 of 9

Early detection of pancreatic cancer is problematic because of this organ's location deep within the body. Diagnosis in the younger patient is often missed because this disease is generally associated with the middle-aged and older patient. Furthermore, the pancreas can continue to function normally until the tumor grows to ...

There is no denying that in a civilized society with a sensible and coherent health care strategy we find that people are living longer and longer over time.
