SUDDENLY my article from one week ago has become TIMELY!

I intentionally do NOT tie my articles to CURRENT EVENTS so they will have more shelf life.

HOWEVER considering recent events and the reaction I'm seeing from all sides, I encourage everyone to RE-READ it, and SHARE it with everyone you know.

Unity has provided needed political change in the past. We need unity now more than ever.

Why are people so polarized politically? How can UNITY help us achieve our common goals?

In my latest article for PT, I examine the power of UNITY and share a story of how I united a neighborhood to thwart a conniving gold-digging politician.

People are much more alike than we realize, and we actually want the same things. Unity may be all we have left to save the world.

Unity has provided needed political change in the past. We need unity now more than ever.

It's been said that morality makes the world a safer place.

WOW! so why do so many people think that it is in decline?

Could it be that the decline in morality is being manipulated?

Read my latest for PT:

People have to be trained, indoctrinated, or propagandized to give up morality.
