At one time, the U.S. possessed the greatest fighting machine ever assembled, but decades of neglect, incompetence and cultural deterioration have taken a devastating toll.
Just look at what happened in Afghanistan. After nearly two decades of fighting, we couldn’t even defeat a ragged bunch of drug dealers and goat herders known as the Taliban.

I received an email this morning that I felt was worth sharing. The author said " Not everybody is surprised by Putin's move, and I am one of them..."
It got me to thinking. What have we allowed to happen to our world, our countries and our sense of self that we are now facing the implosion of Europe and the conquest of the South Pacific and the collapse of everything we hold dear? All because we have a braindead idiot in the Whitehouse?
I have always enjoyed the sound of Welsh male voices … the male voice choirs are excellent, and of the many soloists one in particular stands out like no other … Sir Thomas Jones Woodward. Tom Jones’ voice has a quality that has made him universally admired and loved in the world of music.

Quite some years ago I worked in a prison. A Maximum Security Male Prison. As a female Officer, I had this crazy idea that I could make a difference.
It was a new prison. State of the Art. A wonder of technology.
One day changed my life. I became a prisoner. For ONE DAY.

When a fellow commenter wrote his article about his days as a dispensing chemist all those years ago, little did I realise that it would excite such commentary on the many social media channels I belong to.... how a chemist is now a drug dealer and a doctor is a pimp for Big Pharma.
It did open an interesting dialogue. The loss of the local Chemist and Doctor and the creation of the pharmaceutical god that now rules our lives. And the clock is ticking down.

There’s been some talk recently about events sixty or so years ago, concerning the disastrous result of the release on to the market of a medication designed as a solution for sleeping difficulty.
I remember it well, being in my twenties and having, just prior to this, qualified in pharmacy and opened a small pharmacy in a country town,

I am of a fairly pleasant and easy-going nature.
But when I am aroused by the injustices of this world, my wife would be first to attest to my ability to rise like a wildfire. I am not a man to rise to anger easily.
