Without Trucks America Stops Do you ever wonder how everything gets to the super markets? It came by truck. Some items come from half way around the world. First by ship or plane in a container, then loaded on rail or truck and dropped at a depot, then resorted and taken to the store.
High Speed Trains and The Future of Transportation Where are all the high-speed trains we were promised? Where is a cohesive transportation strategy? With the current price of fuel we need better and efficient systems to move people; these gasoline prices are for the birds.

Population and Transportation in the Modern Era of International Terrorism It is important as populations expand to work on the Flow of Transportation components, which effect our civilization. We must improve the flows without increasing cods in the wheel with over burdensome rules for companies or operators. We have seen in recent years the slow moving steering committees, long-term bureaucrat heads, confines on R and D, duplication of regulations by states, pet projects, linear decision making and pure partisan politics; all of which impede the flows of transportation.
Protecting Our Buses from International Terrorists We know that the International Terrorists like the idea of attacking buses as we watch every week another attack in Israel. There have many ideas on how buses like Greyhound might protect the drivers through use of a high-tech ultra-strength plastic shields or enclosed see-through boxes. Lately Canada and the FBI in United States have been looking at tour buses traveling into the country, looking into the riders and drivers.
What is the Filibuster-Breaking Nuclear Option? What is the so-called "nuclear option" that Senator Bill Frist may deploy soon in a precedent-setting attempt to break a potential filibuster? It sounds dangerous, but what is it all about, really?
I am Not an African American I am not an African-American. Don't call me an African -American. I'm an American plain and simple. I was born here as were my parents and grandparents and you would have to search many a generation back before you found anyone in my family who originated from the continent of Africa. It's time black people in this country stop trying to identify with a land whose culture is not their own. It's time we stand up and say "This land is our land" and let everyone know we have a right to this country as much as anyone.

Space Colonies a Primary Goal Many folks who are pro-NASA and Pro-Space Colonies say that this should be our primary goal as a nation, as individuals and for corporations as well. However this argument is cut short with reality of the needs of mankind. Most individuals wish to live well, in freedom and abundance and a company's goal in the current paradigm is to grow and profit.

Bill OReilly: You Got This One Wrong! I like Bill O'Reilly. I do. I have read two of the man's books, all his columns, and when I lived in the United States, I listened to the "O'Reilly Factor." I agree with him on many issues. I do so not because of his political worldview but because he makes sense, most of the time, and challenges me with the facts—he makes me think.
Nevertheless, I am afraid we have to part company regarding his stance and support of the Minuteman Project.
True Democracy and a Way Forward The following article was the second of two research assignments as part of 2nd Year Psychosynthesis in 2003. The question was:
"In 1500 The Great Peacemaker, Deganawidah of the Huron Tribe of Native America, established a form of pure democracy called the Twelve Cycles of Truth.

How do they compare to the Twelvefold Path of the Buddha, established as a comparable paradigm for social change 1000 years earlier. Looking at both these sets of principles, how do you see the philosophies of Psychosynthesis correlate with them to form a model that could be used by Western Society today to begin to heal?"

PATRIOTIC ARMAGEDDON... Can You Hear Me Now? "Radical Terrorism" (a.k.a. Islamic Terrorism) is breaking out all over the globe.
