Heroes of Healing

Wed, 08 Oct 2008 16:44:54 -0400

When I was diagnosed with several dis-eases I was told by doctors I would only get worse, to be on pain pills and life looked grim. Through learning about the mind/body connection I was able to find teachers I resonated with to study so that I could heal myself. Two years later I am healthier than ever. I began to think about how wonderful it would be to have a large resource of inspirational leaders so that people would have one spot to go to -- to view some videos, hear about what others had learned about them and find out more about different modalities to heal...

Exercising our franchise

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 23:42:07 -0400

Advanced polling for our federal elections is already underway and it seems, at least by the polls, that the incumbent government might just sneak past with a victory. Without taking sides, I think the victory would probably have more to do with a lack of serious options rather then the governance of the 'defending champions'.

A Canada Election study indicates that almost the entire decline (~10%) in voter turnout over the last 15 years is due to the 18-24 age group. This is unalarming, though, and the trend has been seen in many countries across the gl...

Don't Patronize Me: The Economy 101

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 10:55:20 -0400

I have now seen at least a dozen television commercials and psuedo-short-documentaries and news blurbs about "how we got into this financial mess" and "what exactly is a credit crunch?" I find it to be rude, disdainful, patronizing and insulting that somehow, we (the American public) are deemed too ignorant to understand what has brought us, collectively, to the edge of financial ruin. Some of these pieces of "information" are delivered in cartoon format, no less, which gives me the eery feeling of being four years old and watching School House Rock, learning how a Bill becom...

Positively Negative Syndrome

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 01:01:54 -0400

..Is what a lot of us experience on a regular basis, especially when it comes to professional decisions. Personally, it seems to be that the second or third thoughts regarding a particular decision seem to be negatively inclined. It is often a case of one foot in the positive and the other in the negative territory! This slip is called Positively Negative by the author of the article whose link is attached below. I can partially relate to that.

Earlier this year, former employees of MBNA and Bank of 
America contacted AFFIL looking for a way to speak out about 
disturbing sales practices they were trained to use as employees. Their stories confirm what
we've long suspected: that credit card companies extend credit
to those who can't afford it, and engage in a "tricks and traps" 
business model designed to max out cardholders and keep 
them on a debt treadmill as long as possible. Watch the video 
and listen to what Cate Colombo
and Jerry Young have to say.
