Why I’m Here

Before any issues can truly be resolved by an individual, group, or any other entity, an understanding must be in place.  People who are involved with hot topic issues all have at least one thing in common to start out with...passion for their cause.  Knowing that, it is inevitable that there may be those who believe that the cause (or causes) which they support are the most important, deserving issues at hand versus other issues that may concern them to a lesser degree.  In reality, this planet is ours to share, for better or for worse.  So long as society maintains the mutual understanding that passion is our collective bond, civilization will have greater success in being true to the meaning.  In turn, humanity will have greater success in nurturing & being nurtured.

Reality Check : Insufficient Funds

It is the end of the month, and for many people, that means rent/house payments are due.  This is true for me.  What is also true is I do not have the means to support myself any longer (short of some miracle).  Though it sounds like a plea for assistance, it is a reality check.  This is a check that...
