The Facebook site Pet Shaming has some dog owners howling with laughter and scratching their ears wondering why they didn't think of it first. But some animal rights folk claim it is an outrage! Is the site really abuse? Pooch Pollyanna puts perspective on canine consciousness!

The nation seems shocked at the treatment bus monitor Karen Klein received by a bunch of unruly school kids. But why are we so shocked at these kids behavior when our society does the same thing, day in and day out. Is our concern just big fat hypocrisy?

When the queen of Southern cuisine announced she had diabetes, not only were we not surprised, but we felt in was a foregone conclusion. What is worse is how the healthier than thou felt so comfortable in judging her. Maybe she is not the only one who needs introspection and a change of ways!

What does Uncle Sam newest antiobesity crusade have in common with the Iraq/Afghanistan war and the Wall St bailout? They all were presented to us as in our own best interest. But follow the money and there is a corporate agenda behind every one of them!

Susan Boyle has touched hearts everywhere. But as usual, mainstream media has missed the point. There is much more to this than the cliche Cinderella story.

The public rose up when Facebook declared all content was theirs forever. Protests made them back down! Did MSM celebrate this as a victory of the people? What could happen when people refuse to sit back and take it? No! Instead they spooked with naked pics and other reminders of how the internet is the ultimate embarrassment.

From Video News Releases (hidden commericals embedded within newscasts), to product placement, to scripts secretly incorporating plot lines favorable to products, can we be sure of anything in the media any more? Are you aware of how much the line between marketing, entertainment and news has blurred?

"Losing Weight An Ill Fated Resolution!" In January, the time when the diet companies stop at nothing to shove their worthless products down the throats of consumers, it is important to remember their our other perspectives out there. I will continue to post links to this piece by Dr. Marcia Angell every single January!

While some people are making extreme sacrifices, the majority of the population seems unaware we are on the brink of crises. Could it be because draconian measures turn people off the cause! One thing is for sure, the right does not have the monopoly on guilt! Read More

Imagine going out to dinner with your friends. But being told you couldn't even sit at the table with them and order a cup of tea or the restaurant could lose its license. That scenario would be reality if Mississippi House Bill 282 had passed. It would have probibited restaurants from serving obese patrons. Is this the work of a food cop gone over the top? Or could there be other hidden agendas at work? Read More

I SWEAR this is the last time I am going to visit this topic!!!! But I am still processing and it is going to be a slow day today anyway. I look at relationships and attraction differently than society tells me to. I think one of their main purposes is to teach us the lessons we need to know. When we meet people who are compelling, often times the Universe is trying to send us a message. If it doesn't work out, we can lament the prince who got away, or wonder what it was we were really meant to learn! Read More
