In the days of old, consumers visited the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. They chatted, gossiped, and shared community news. Timeworn traditions turned into trends to save time as busyness bombarded us from sunrise to sunset because of progress. 

And you can’t stop progress. The telegraph, the telephone, the cell phone. The radio, the television, the internet. Feet, horses, wagons. Bicycles, trains, automobiles. Planes, helicopters, rockets.

Most understand that socialism conquered its first country, Russia, in 1917 under the leadership of Vladimir Lenin and has always been a revolutionary doctrine never content to allow any people to choose another way.  Eighteen months later it was organized to do the same in America.  Yes, colluding with Russia has been a part of our history for over 100 years but it has been the Socialists who colluded.  We see three times in the 20th Century when its imprint was most evident: after World War I, after World War II and during theVietnam War.  Space permits only a brief summation of each.

The dawning of a new decade prompts some people to self-reflect and set goals that go beyond New Year’s resolutions. 

Where do they see themselves in 10 years? Perhaps another question they might ask is, What do they see now – literally, when looking in the mirror? Does it reflect a natural, attractive, healthy smile?

Saudi oil giant Aramco -- the world’s most profitable company -- issued its first public offering in December. The IPO has reenergized debate around whether it’s ethical to invest in oil and natural gas companies.

Green activists say no. Their organizations have worked for several years to encourage companies and individuals to “divest” from fossil fuel-producing companies.
