Pet Milk

I grew up disliking milk, and only slowly coming around to actually enjoying it when I found milk I enjoy. Up until I discovered Pet Milk, and why I will be more than happy to buy it again. Raw milk is said to be dangerous, but it is also known to have many health benefits. How do we justify difficulty of sale of such a product?

Starving Artist Royalties

Randy Travis made the news the other day in the struggle of when an artist makes a deal with a company to make money. There is a push to have radio stations pay royalties to artists they play the music of. How do artists continue to make music in the future after their work has been released?

A Band, Tribe, or Cheifdom?

How far out does our "extended family" go? Does it include aunts and uncles, or do we go so far as to include people we would invite over to Friendsgiving? How big is our "extended family" and what goals has this group set out to achieve? Does it have a higherarchy structure, or is everyone equal in their say?

From listening to a book on Mexico's history and Spain's influence on it, a statement in another book, "Don Quixote," I see a chance to reflect deeper on our society for a moment.

To a Publisher or Not to a Publisher

I recently sat in with Abs 'na 6 Pack: Tattle of the Douchebags, and I had to bring two people who I believed did the biggest tattling/snitching/narcing: Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.

Both, big names, have been associated with releases of damning government information. How each is known for their release of information is quite different between who published and who had it published.

Right or wrong, was the information they released good for the outcome, 13-11 years ago to now? Have we improved with the information we've been given? Have we continued to follow up?

Ma Bell

I have a change of format today, as I've done too much research on AT&T, only to realize it is a massive undertaking of how much history this company has. I have decided to focus in on their monopolistic history from different angles in hopes we may walk away with a bit more information, at one level or another, than what we had when we went in.
