Energy

The best way to get clean energy is to first afford it.

World Peace

Peace can only be realized if all parties want it.

Most college degrees do not lead to a real world career.

Tax Accountants

Nine thousand pages of IRS code are written to influence and control decision-making.

Gender

Men and women are very different, but neither is less than the other.

Free Healthcare

Most of the world cannot afford to have free emergency room service for everyone. Apparently the U.S. cannot afford it either.

No matter how big or bright a star becomes, they all die out and decompose like the rest of us.

Education

Education only happens when the student decides he or she wants to learn; students can be coerced, encouraged, or ignored.

Economics

The only real contributors to economic productivity and prosperity are work and innovation.

The most important question we ever answer is: What would a good God want me to do?

Listening solves problems and discovers truth much better than talking.
