Second Hand Smoke

In 1992, the EPA released a study stating that 2nd Hand Smoke was a Class A carcinogin. In '97, a NC judge ruled that the study was not preformed correctly.

Practical and CGI Effects in Movies

Older movies used a lot of Practical Effects - minimal computer intervention to create the image. Current day movies use a lot of CGI - Computer Generated Imagry.
What's the best way to create the image to show the story? Is there a good balance? Where do we need to have all of one or the other?

Going for a Sunday Drive

When's the last time you went for an aimless drive on the open road? What benifits might we get from driverless cars? What might we lose with driverless cars?

"Judging a book by its cover" is an age old question.  How does it apply to us today?

Byproducts of Energy

What happened to people talking about strip mining? What about the effects of dams? Lithium batteries?

Border Securities

During the Great Governmental Shutdown of 2018, I discuss the main topic of it: The Wall.
There are a lot of displaced, well meaning people in impoverished places of the world. But also, in those areas, are people enriching themselves within illicit activities. Where do we figure out to go?
