Will people ever learn that just because a meme says it, it’s not automatically true? Variations of this are going all over the internet. Learn the Real Story In 1932, Congress decided to replace Lady Liberty’s image with George Washington on the US quarter. Several sculptors submitted designs, including one by artist Laura Gardin Fraser. The following is Laura and…

New conspiracy! This just started showing up in the last few days on Facebook, YouTube and TikTok. This text accompanies the image or video: Possible Nephilim Giant ring reported to have been found in a quarry dating back 13,000 years ago. Is this the jewelry of a giant from ancient times? Or was this created more recently? If it’s true,…

Bioengineered Foods – What’s the Big Deal?
I don’t understand why this bioengineered subject has exploded all over the Internet like it’s something new. For several decades now, if you are buying food which is not labeled organic or non-GMO, then you are consuming bio-engineered ingredients, and lots of them. The only thing new is, that the National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Law went into effect. Companies used…

A Tale of Two Families
I learned to be frugal and resourceful from my mother. I kept it up all my life because it makes perfect sense- spend less and have more. We were very poor most of my childhood, but many people might not have guessed the extent of it, because somehow we usually managed to have what we needed. This was a lesson…
Anacostia – An Inspiring True Story
I came across the most interesting video at YouTube last night. I was intrigued, and today, I did some searching and discovered a wonderful, uplifting story! The Anacostia neighborhood in Washington, D.C. was a run down slum. The primarily black residents were living in abject poverty. Children had little hope of advancement in life. In the late 1960s, the Smithsonian…
Shades of Homelessness
People who have not been homeless, and have not intimately known the homeless, have some very wrong perceptions about the subject. Those on the far right think that if the homeless would stop being lazy and just get jobs, the problem would be solved. Those on the far left think we should round up the homeless like stray puppies and…

Before I begin, I have a couple of opening remarks: [1] Some people use religion (usually the Bible), to “prove” their points. I will be using religion to answer these arguments.

Right vs Left and Short Memories
All my life I’ve seen presidents get blamed for things their predecessors did, or for things they have no control over. I wonder if John Adams got blamed for stuff Washington did? This political blame game probably dates back to kings, emperors and pharaohs. One modern example is the so-called Obama Phone. The consensus from the right seems to…

A Not-Greedy Oil Company
It’s funny how a random memory will pop into your head out of nowhere. Everyone has bad things to say about greedy oil companies, but here is a 100% true story. My mother had had a Texaco credit card for at least 30 years, and had always paid the bill off every month. She was 59 when…
