Climate Change Changes Post-Disaster Questions
Logic demands we ask why we’re throwing billions upon billions at rebuilding cities and regions that have been devastated by hurricanes and are destined to be hospitable only to marine life by the end of this century or (probably) much sooner. Perhaps we should use those dollars to help people start fresh somewhere new and invest in renewable energy infrastructure and R&D. At this point it seems like a moral imperative, not a choice.

Tears of Us Clowns
Every time Rep. Kevin Cramer puts his foot in his mouth with an absurd, ignorant and pain-inducing comment, he looks like a clown. North Dakotans are cast as clowns, too, for electing him to Congress. North Dakota voters need to make this man's political career a has-been. CLICK THE HEADLINE TO READ MORE

Flowers are Rainbow-Colored. People are Weird.
Let's teach our children that weird is a good thing. Because it is. I think Harry Chapin would have agreed... CLICK THE HEADLINE TO READ MORE.
Not One Red Cent
So far, everyone seems to agree there was a cost to Fargo and Cass County taxpayers for the Trump-Cramer political rally; they're just arguing about how much it really was. At the end of the day, right and wrong don’t depend on right or left. And using taxpayer money and manpower for a political rally is just wrong. CLICK THE HEADLINE TO READ MORE
Think Positive
I experienced a convergence through a couple of communications that came my way today. The first was a newsletter in my inbox this morning from Bock’s Office about skepticism, cynicism and positivity. The second was a mind-blowing video of a three-time freestyle champion deftly juggling a soccer ball on a moving subway. The third was a comment about dirty floors on Facebook...
