With the Passing of Time

There once was a time in the western world when the older generation was cared for, cherished; looked to for guidance and advice. No more it seems! In a hundred years from now, who will remember you or me? The simple answer to that question is – probably no one. Does it really matter? No [...]

Is There Such a Thing as Equality of Value?

Is There Such a Thing as Equality of Value?

What price common sense when it comes to buying things? Can anyone explain to my satisfaction the way monetary value is placed on something?

What Price Progress?

What Price Progress?
