Speak Up About It! As much as I fantasize of being like a CIA agent being able to switch between languages at will in a foreign country in disguise, I’m far from it. This is more like me: However, I and everyone I know are fortunate enough to have mastered at least one language–some friends […]

Demands on Relationships Are Crazy Now!
The Miracle of True Love: Lets be more understanding of each other I’m sure you’re well aware of the marriage crisis going on throughout the world where at best some marriage success stories have come down to the odds of a coin toss.

A Double-Edged Sword of Liberty? I was at a Mexican Independence Day party recently with Mexicans from 5 various states (man, do they enjoy partying!) in Mexico.

Did you pay enough taxes for a lifetime? My guess is that you’re inclined to say you paid enough taxes for two lifetimes. That may be true if you are thinking about having a child in the future and aren’t particularly worried about where. It may be a challenge for the lady to have all […]

Everyone Has Lost Their Mind
I’ve come across a silly thing on the internet, not thinking I’d be writing about this but it’s just so absurd I can’t not comment. The post said, “Here’s a challenge for you. Go on Google and type in “<Is _________ racist/sexist>” So, while I should have been looking at new stocks for you guys […]
Psychology of Voting
How Psychology Impacts Who’s President I am putting my overpriced degree to work here by writing about one of the few lessons I’ve taken away from it. That lesson was the importance of personality.

The Cleanest Dirty Shirt
Now Thats a Good Looking Buck Years ago I remember hearing about a psychology study that went something like this: A random sample of men were brought in to a lab and were asked to rank-order photos of 20 women according to their attractiveness.
