And that absence of worry and stress | Read More »

The recent Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire, aired on CNN, was a disaster. Not only were many significant questions not asked, but the moderator John King demeaned each of the candidates with a stupid question about his/her personal preference like “Elvis or Johnny Cash?” or “Dancing with the Stars or American Idol?” This truly was a shameful display. And the unenlightened among us | Read More »
