Unfortunately, I have had friends and neighbors die as a result of alcoholism and some folks don't ever seem to get the message.

More than 2.5 Million are killed each year abusing alcohol. The World Health Organization keeps calling for action to reduce the harmful use of alcohol, which kills 2.5 million people every year.

Was it was a racy TITle for 1935? I'm told most American folks highly approved of this famous comedy team. As you will see, their fans are also living overseas.

This double act soared during the early Classical Hollywood era of American cinema. The team was composed of thin Englishman Stan Laurel and heavyset American Oliver Hardy. http://www.laurel-and-hardy.com/ #entertainment http://entertainment.doseofnews.com/

I was driving along Ventura Boulevard near Studio City, when I noticed an odd shared three wheeled vehicle parked at a dealership, so I stopped in to ask questions.

They said it is answer to a Tesla on three wheels. If you're a real loner, check out this $15K electric cruising vehicle for one.

A Decomposing Democracy

Democracy means rule by the people, but what general forms does it take? Participatory democracies, pluralist democracies, and elite democracies. Now, think about some of their benefits and negative aspects. When we don't have the real rule of the people, we don't have a democracy.

Proposed changes in the US Census, our voting rights are under attack with new voter suppression tactics, The Electoral College ramifications, along with the disproportionate power held by Senators from smaller states appears to be a growing problem for democracy in The United States of America.

A Real Emergency

On the anniversary of another mass shooting, everywhere we look, there's more violence and mass murders across the nation, so why no Emergency declaration? Why is it taking so long to pass legislation? Why won't anyone talk about this real emergency to modify our gun laws?

It is sickening to think of how “normal” mass shootings have become; how numbed we are to these stories. It’s as if they are now so commonplace that we’re resigned to accept them and epidemic gun violence as mungsne.
