As most everyone knows, a Thai tabloid (Tai Rath) published a photo that is claimed to be David Carradine hanging naked and dead in a hotel closet. Whoever published that photo should meet the same fate! The actions of people never cease to amaze me and yet I am seldom surprised. The huge media clatter – first over the details of Carradine’s death, and now the photo, serve to once more reinforce my disgust with how pusillanimous, sensationalist, and downright ignorant human beings can be.

I marvel at the ignorant stupidity of that intelligent species called mankind. There seems a duality in every corner of the reality of the human condition. We have recorded history and enjoy the wisdom of hindsight, yet we ignore our hard-learned lessons and repeat every mistake; we tend to know what is right, yet we do not always choose it; we can put on a military uniform, enter into combat, kill dozens of other humans, destroying their homes and families, then come home in that same day, s...

And the number of unemployed continues to grow at an alarming pace. And like all accidents and life-changing events, it is not real until it happens to you! It is u... Read Full Story
