Love is misunderstood constantly for lust, infatuations, companionship, dependence, insecurities, and many other psychological maladjustments that plague the human mind.  But love is not about the mind; it’s not even from the heart but rather, love originates from the very foundation of the soul, which rises to illuminate the heart to reach toward others and share the care with one another.  For many, that’s too hard to do; for others, too risky; and still others, well, they don’t even bother to think about it.

Someone in the neighborhood has just come back from protecting you in a fight, and after having him take a couple of hard knocks for you, you then decide to ignore him and put him aside for a while, but only until you need him again to protect you, but by that time he’ll be too old to fight as hard as he use to, when he was young.  This is what veterans do.  And just as they looked out for you as soldiers, now you must look out for them as veterans.

Leadership is an outgrowth that comes from a principled person, who is usually appreciated publicly by the very same people that have come to embrace his new morality of their country, which, in turn, makes them feel good about who it is that leads them.  Politicians come and go but good leaders, as well as bad, seem to come along in the most pointed and interesting periods of time, but regardless of the issues that surround, people always like to rally behind the leader with a message, a plan, and an outcome of hope.  Simplicity in a leader and sincerity in his message will carry the seeds

Rand Paul’s filibuster a few days ago was a symptomatic expression of something much larger and much more alarming than just a 13 hour rant.  It’s a message that’s bleeding, and no one is attending the wounds of the nation.  America is in a dire and confused state, because it has no leadership of the kind necessary to pull people together and harness the strength and resources of what we are as a force to rebuild our priorities.

Listen to my show, and only then will you know the value of language through the kind of communication we all have with one another.  Language is a beautiful form of expression, but it can also be just as much provocative and conflictive as it can be peaceful: it’s our choice to do with it what we think is best.  But if language is our predominant form of communication, that is, the one form or method we use the most to communicate, then why do we continue to have so much trouble with it?  Why do we have so many problems communicating ideas and messages to one another?  Is it a lack of voca

When you listen to my show, you’ll be wondering what you mean when you say he has no class.  Class is one of those elusive concepts that you can’t readily identify, but you know what it is the moment you see it.  You can’t buy class; you can’t inherit it.  Having class is just one of those things that certain people have and carry inside them for a lifetime without really knowing what it is, but you act on it everyday of your life: you can feel it inside.

It was only the other day when President Obama gave a speech on the current state of the union, so I thought I’d make a comment or two on the current state of democracy and as it turned out, it ended up becoming a whole entire show!  How ‘bout that?

This show is about trying to understand the effect of a melody and the influence of lyrics on our attitudes and behaviors in the way we live our lives. Music as an art form is also an expression of self-sacrifice. And whenever musicians use their craft, they make themselves vulnerable to their audience. But by performing their craft in the way they do, there stands the hope that their music will capture and overshadow any doubt the audience may have about their ability to reach you, and make you vulnerable instead.

Are you curious about debt? Want to know more about it? What does say about a culture like ours that values debt and credit with equal measures of protection and enthusiasm? A free society whose people have the opportunity to live a comfortable middle class lifestyle without having the income to sustain it, but having the credit history to survive it, and without having to limit your budget too much because after all, you can always rollover your debt on a mortgage refinance or credit card balance transfer, is truly living life with each foot in both camps.

Today, a call for democracy has become a fervent plea and a very frightened prayer; a prayer to know what to do; a supplication of faith in our resolve to temper the pangs and hollers of those who are misguided in using firearms. Controlling gun use, and now with assault weapons at our doorstep, requires advanced citizenship in knowing how to best represent a people with a long and proud tradition of individual liberties in protecting our interests and our property against any and all infringements. Owning an AR-15 today doesn’t make it easy.
