TV shows consume our day. If the TV is not on, we’re talking about it (or telling someone to SHUSH cuz we DVR’d something and haven’t watched it yet). The average American watches 35 hours of TV each week – a second full time job. That’s 5 hours per day! Incredible! And that’s just an [...]

“Follow a man as he affects multiple peoples’ lives with just one dollar, proving that it doesn’t take much to be the change in someone’s life.” Watch this provocative video: It’s easy to be tricked into thinking that whatever little ability or power we may personally have could ever make a big difference to anyone [...]

We like to think about how much more civilized and enlightened we’ve become. We look at people of the past and wonder how they could have been so uncaring, cold and brutal. For example, consider how we treated people with Down Syndrome (and other mental disabilities). In ancient Greece, babies with such disabilities were literally [...]

I’m what you’d call a “stay-at-home Dad.” I’m also the founder and CEO of my own company.

He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else. And what a person thinks on his own without [...]
