The Cruel Hoax of Fanatics
Our dog is something of a rescue dog – she was turned over to a veterinary clinic with a gash on her head and one eye-ball literally hanging out. We took responsibility for the dog ($800 over two years). We do not know her age. Obviously we know she suffered some trauma in her life. […]

Brainwashing Tiger Woods – Failures of Addiction Therapy
Future psychologists will look back on this era of addiction treatment in much the same manner that they presently look back on 19th century mental asylums.

The Root of Obama’s Calm is Humility

Freegans and Hippies: Counter Culture Movements
Son, I read your post on Freegans with great interest. The interest of a father and grandfather, and the interest of one who was once called a hippie. Back in my hippie days many of us thought of ourselves as the first great generation to “change the way we think about our culture,” to quote […]

Step 7 – Humility
Son, Step Seven of Twelve is the essence of the entire program. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings. The essential character trait is Humility. Without humility adversity will overwhelm us.
