Learning how to handle hatred before it kills us by David Ravenwood 11/1/2014 8:51:20 AM
Ever want to knock someone's block off? I feel like that sometimes. Like many of us, I have been done wrong. Most often, the wrong doer has diminished me. They come first. They are important. I'm not. Oh, they don't use those words, but that's what t... more

Let's boycott CVS by David Ravenwood 10/26/2014 12:11:34 PM
CVS is getting too big for their pants. If they don't want to sell cigarettes anymore, that's fine. It actually makes sense: drug stores are supposed to help people stay healthy so CVS is going to stop selling a proven killer. But what about alcohol,... more

Learning from People we don't Like by David Ravenwood 10/19/2014 11:13:48 AM
A TV show about JFK taught me something. We can all learn from it whether we liked this controversial leader or not. So here it is: President Kennedy invited disagreement when discussing national and global issues before he made a decision. He didn't... more

Close the U.S. borders from infected countries until Ebola is Contained by David Ravenwood 10/5/2014 1:15:23 PM

Increase in Minimum Wage keeps Workers out of Poverty by David Ravenwood 9/20/2014 2:29:29 PM
Some people want the minimum wage increased to $15 an hour. I don't know if that's too high or not, but I believe there's something wrong when a person with a full time job only makes about $15,000 dollars a year. Why? Because that's near the poverty... more
