How the Decline Of America Is Ruining Our Mental Health
It’s not easy being an American for many of us in 2022. There has been a trend toward our country reverting backward in time, in so many negative ways. As we become more divided, angry, and confrontational, it takes its toll on our mental health.

Roe V Wade
Allow me to make one thing perfectly and undeniably clear: I am 100% pro-choice. Not just in regards to a woman’s right to choose about pregnancy, but as Americans, our freedom to choose about everything. Frankly, I think the general public, our society, and our government have continuously, and even more dramatically as of late, over reached. Instead of fixing problems and taking care of situations they are taking away our freedoms and expecting it to fix the issues. The overturning of Roe v Wade is just the latest example of this.

Roe v Wade and our Miranda rights
Are we covertly returning to the days when pompous old farts dictated what women should or should not be either entitled to, or are capable of accomplishing without the explicit consent of the male of the generation.

In Memory of America, On This Memorial Day
On Memorial Day 2022, I’m not mourning those I’ve lost within my family, friends who have passed over the years, or even the veterans who have served. I’ve done that for many years already. This year, I’m mourning the loss of the country I once knew and loved.

A Moment of Silence
On May 24, 2022, twenty-one people in a small town near El Paso, Texas, lost their lives. Of these, nineteen were elementary school children—too young, one would assume, to have done anything which would have warranted such a violent death.

The UK Could Face Power Cuts.
I remember as a kid in the 1970s experiencing blackouts. The electricity would suddenly go off and people would reach for their candles. At first, it was annoying but people stoically got used to it and carried on. A dispute was at the heart of the power cuts between the government and energy workers. Eventually, the dispute was settled and the lights came back on without interruption. The dispute brought down the Conservative administration of Edward/Ted Heath. A general election was called and Labour-led by Harold Wilson came to power.

To Heal A Nation
After a weekend undisputed violence that rocked this nation there are concerning questions that need direct answers with solutions that will restore and heal the gaping holes in our society and our economy. It is in education that holds many of the answers. When we look back in the history of the United States, we find the roots of racial prejudice stemming from the way our politicians ransacked the reconstruction process following the Civil War.

Why does America hate women?
I am just going to say this: Society hates women. Is this a fact? No. Am I being dramatic? No. Let me tell you that literally from birth to death, women are expected to be a certain way and behave a certain way. How many times have you ever heard anyone feel “disappointed” that they are having a boy? In some cultures, women who give birth to girls are either punished or have gone to great lengths to “get rid of girls”. As for women in America, we are faced with a dire and disturbing road as we look at everything happening for the last couple of years.
