The cure for cancer will be a milestone in human ingenuity and quality of life.

We need to look in the right place. The people immune to cancer must have an inherited gene. Those genetics can then be inserted (prevention) into each baby, plus in those suffering (healing) from the disease—which would begin to dissipate as the gene replicated itself (creating a new and more hardy immune system) as part of the patient’s body.

Let this discovery happen very soon!

Why are movies so popular as a medium?

In addition to being entertained on some level, the viewer gets to stop thinking and start feeling for about 120 minutes; you could call the experience a form of mass hypnosis.

And when a film rises to the level of art, then we have a meditation—which, contrary to the popular notion, is about total participation in the present moment, not relaxation. 

We are primarily visual and auditory creatures; watching and listening are easier than reading, which is a fact not a comparison. 

All of life’s minor inequities pale when you give thanks to all who defended your right to explore freedom; the consequences of liberty should not be taken for granted.

Light a candle of commemoration; then take five uninterrupted minutes to evaluate your priorities.

You are on sacred ground when you know where you stand.

Of course, well-being and right action are the blessings of a conscious mind.

Let us add to this the most valuable of currencies: Time.

How are you spending your most treasured legal and tender? Are you a spendthrift trying to keep up on the wasteful pursuit of an external identity; or, are you a leader who knows where he stands and when enough is enough. The road to great art is about economy, not indulgence.

The ATM to your soul is never broken or closed. 

In the John Sayles film, Silver City, we see how inept and corrupt men can rise to power.

Many would argue that the real power in this country (or any for that matter) lies with money. Cash buys favors, and favors get unqualified candidates to win elections.

But, we should not get dismayed or lose our focus. True power lies in character, and, as the master had said: character answers all questions.

Do not sell yourself down that river and we will all breath pure air in a free society governed by good people.
