I recently watched a documentary film named The Money Masters.  This video discusses how money changes have wrecked economies in the past and how nations throughout the world are being robbed via the fractional banking system. In a previous article I provided an easy to follow model describing fractional banking, and why it is a bad thing. At the end of the article, I provided what I thought

I have a confession to make. I've been keeping a very big secret about something that is going to have an Earth shattering impact on everyone I know... and everyone I don't. I've discussed it with a few close family members and friends -- and with a few exceptions, I've been relatively quiet about this. Have you ever wondered why so many people are so deep in debt, why the U.S. government, is

I think most people would agree that charitable contributions are a powerful way to help make the world a better place.  Just as importantly, through charitable contributions, we can focus on making changes in the world that we would like to see. We typically think of contributing to charity as sending money that we have earned in our jobs or businesses to a charity organization. However, there

You might have received a panicky sounding email in the past describing how some terrible virus is wreaking havoc on the web. The message usually says something about how an email is going around tricking unsuspecting email users into running it. Once it runs, it steals your identity, fries your hard drive, and eats small pets. Then the message usually goes on to say something about how the pet

The lack of access to health care for many in the U.S. because of the high cost of health care products and services has been an issue that's been in the media spotlight lately. I have a lot to say about this topic, and I'm saving the best for last, so make sure to read through the whole article.  Here's the grim reality... After World War II ended, American soldiers came home from where

A while ago, I was in a store looking for dish soap without the antibacterial chemicals, and had trouble finding some. The reason I was looking for dish soap without the antibacterial chemicals is that it's good for washing cars at home on the lawn. However, I was concerned that the antibacterial chemicals in the soap that I was seeing would kill the useful micro-organisms in the lawn, thus

I was at work one day, glanced at a Vitamin C bottle I kept on my desk, and realized that I had been taking it, but didn't know much about what it was doing for me. This bottle wasn't a normal sized bottle, it was one of those huge bottles of Vitamin C that you can find in stores that have to have delivered by a forklift. I was doing technical support over the phone at the time, and the job

Even if you've never listened to a self improvement recording, and have never read a self improvement book, you've probably at least heard of affirmations. I imagine that the word, "affirmations," evokes a mental image of a guy standing in the middle of a garden with his eyes closed, and his hands over his ears saying, "There are no weeds. There are no weeds. There are no weeds." Someone once

There are several antivirus options that are free for non-commercial use. They can be a little hard to find unless you know what you’re looking for. My assumption is they're free for home users as a way of marketing their commercial products to people who are likely to be in a position of recommending their use in a business environment… kind of like giving out free samples in a grocery store.

This is a message that I put together a while ago, and sent to friends.I was recently surfing the net and became a little curious about rechargable batteries. The reason I became curious about rechargables is because I received a set of rechargable batteries along with a charger for Christmas. Since I had a large pack of regular AA alkaline batteries, I just recently pulled out the rechargables
