With the many words I can write to try and convince you as to why we need to change, none will be either as compelling nor eloquent as this video.  Videos like this exist all over the internet, and the information is free. Anyone with an internet connection can do the research, can do the…

I started this blog on the simplest idea that maybe I could open peoples mind to changing the world, that maybe my lone voice in the darkness would shed some light.  An expected outcome was that mostly it would allow me to change and grow, and at least change my world. The problem was that…
