The Ostrich In All Of Us…

An ostrich has two known characteristics…They can hide their head in the sand OR when faced with raw competition they can run. Boy do they run… up to 50 mph! Wow, talk about two extremes. Can you relate? It’s like human nature! Time and again life presents itself with the option to choose responsibility instead of ignorance; and when indecisive, nothing like a little competition to motivate us.
As far back as history can record, competition has achieved opportunity, quality, productivity, and choice. It’s pure organic science; competition occurs naturally between living organisms which co-exist in the same environment. It can bring the best out of anyone, any product, any idea. Also known as supply and demand ~ competition’s natural procession; progress that’s end justifies the means. Letting markets develop in response to demand. On the other hand, an entire system of giving services away for free is not the answer to stable progress, productivity, or improvement. Sure, there are those times when everyone needs a hand-up. Restoration breads dignity and self respect when it equips the individual towards independence, not dependence. Compassion in its true sense reinforces the value of life, not lessens it.

“WHEN PIGS FLY”-H1N1

Most people die of bacterial pneumonia not the Swine Flu.  The pressing question… Is the H1N1 vaccine safe?  It is made the same way as the yearly flu vaccine that has been given to billions of people over the past 50 years. The same technique but there are multiple versions and it hasn’t been adequately tested because it was rushed into production.  There are many PROS and CONS regarding “if” and “who” should get the H1N1 vaccine.  One thing you can be sure of, whatever your decision, you need to know the symptoms.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice… shame on me!

I left my child in a daycare center that has a track record of child abuse! Just looking at it I could see it was dirty, smelled strange (kind of fishy), the playground equipment was old and worn, and the cost was way over the top. But at least it had a new coat of paint.  I was desperate, time was running out, and I needed a new babysitter. I held my most precious, valuable possession and was handing her over to strangers.  But ...
