What draws us together?

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:27:27 -0000

Searching for that silver bullet.

The one thing that will make us happy forever. In my life I have wasted too much time searching and not enough time enjoying each breath we are given.

Are you a morning person or a night person?

I use to be nocturnal, but the years past have removed that problem

What determines a good education?

Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:46:09 -0000

A well educated person is one that realizes, there is so much more to learn.

What is creativity?

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 15:04:01 -0000

Creativity is filling a void we deem necessary to fill, and as C.G. stated, not ego motivated.

What is the role of media?

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 13:28:41 -0000

Media; no different than any other profit center, do what ever is necessary, regardless of the consequences.

How do you feel about being paid for your work?

Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:59:17 -0000

Greed and its consequences.
This may be a little off topic, but I will stick in here anyway. I copied this statement from a person sounding off on a different site.

"Health Care is quickly going downhill in accessibility and
quality and his last years have been very disturbing and disheartening
as hospitals all over the country, in order to keep afloat,
cut huge corners , exclude poorer people from the best care, do
shady billing, and push their employees to do procedures that make
money whether they are needed by the patient or not, in order to make
money they are losing with govt cutbacks in health care spending and
increases in Insurance Company profits.

The very shady things they are doing, for how badly they are treating all their staff at all levels and how much they have inflated their own salaries at the expense of
those doing the work. They are cheating at every level possible"

My questions are, should we teach about greed in our schools?
Whom are we trying to keep this planet green for?

Are you more proud of your accomplishments or your character?

Mon, 24 Sep 2007 13:21:28 -0000

Some accomplishments build character, I have been involved in Big brothers & Big sisters about 4-5 yrs. our children are gone from the house doing their own thing. My current young boy is 13, his dad past away about a year ago. I bring this up, to possible inspire others to get involved, and also make aware of what is out there for single parents. I can say to you, it is a win win situation.

What's your favorite daily ritual?

Wed, 05 Sep 2007 14:29:57 -0000

This may be off message, however, it is what popped into my head. I use the word habit, as apposed to ritual because there is nothing symbolic or traditional in what I like to do daily. Just waking up, would be a good answer, if I did not have an emotional experience about it. My aunt shared with me about my uncle, dieing of cancer. She could hear him saying when he would wake up, saying oh no not another day. Why that thought is prevalent in my memory bank, I really do not know, I have no self guilt about what happened.

What's your favorite day of the year?

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 21:53:01 -0000

Today, it is the only one I have. Yesterday is gone (they do not give days back), Tomorrow never comes.

What's the most difficult question you've had to answer?

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 14:28:40 -0000

Why do you act like that? This is one my wife has been asking me forever, my answer is always the same. Like what?

Where do you get your ideas?

Sat, 14 Jul 2007 16:15:35 -0000

Ideas come throughout any 24hr period in my life, what I have to be concerned about, is how I act on them, being human, and not always in a positive frame of mind, ideas also come at those times.

How might you start to resolve a current conflict in your life?

Tue, 22 May 2007 13:51:42 -0000

The biggest conflict going on in my life is within me, if ever resolved , there will be no more conflicts. Acceptance, easy to say hard to do.
