I am watching Andrea Bocelli live in Central Park and struggle to understand how there can be such beauty in the world along side the ugliness of man as found in selfish greed and war.
Wow! What inspiration to be better. Thank you Andrea Bocelli, David Foster, Chris Botti and the NY Philharmonic.

1864 - The Sand Creek Massacre occurred in Colorado when a militia led by Colonel John Chivington, killed at least 400 peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians who had surrendered and had been given permission to camp.
At one time I read a diary by a man who lived in the area of this slaughter. One of the saddest days for all of mankind. A horrific travesty!

"Should the FDA limit nicotine in cigarettes to a level where they would not be addictive?" Another loaded question from the media. The question should be, "Should the FDA (a government agency) regulate the tobacco (cigarette) industry?" And the correct answer is, "NO!"
Do not regulate - instead, educate!

"Do you believe human life begins at the moment of fertilization?" Da! Of course it does. The real issue behind the question is, "Does the government have the right to control this new life?" No, the government does not. This right belongs to the parents!

Talk about over regulation. I was at K-mart this morning in the checkout and a guy was trying to buy some soft drinks, snacks, and a pack of Bic lighters. The cashier informed him that she could not sell lighters. He needed to go over to the next line.
The guy was probably 50 years old and the cashier 17-19 years old. What a stupid wasteful policy. Bic lighters by-gosh!?!
