Our water supply and the availability of clean water as well as the potential terrorist threat to our water supply and water infrastructure are issues that are central to our survival as a nation. These issues have very little to do with politics and, yet, both are very much political footballs. Neither issue is discussed or even understood by the general public or elected leaders.

The February issue of Playboy magazine hit the stands this week. An Airforce sergeant holds the dubious honor of centerfold celebrity stardom.

Her name is Michelle Manhart.

Many Christians today heavily rely upon the present day Theologians to tell them how to believe. They think that these teachers must be right because they are suppose to know God's will and thus we must follow what they teach. Unfortunately people have forgotten the basic principle to following the teachings of Christ.

Christ came not so we would become robots thinking the same kind of thoughts and adhering to the standard principles of those who are supposedly in the loop. Christ came to set us free to think as individuals.

President's Day is celebrated on the third Monday in February, and this year it falls on February 19, 2006. To celebrate President's Day, I've collected some of my favorite leadership quotes from US Presidents.

The leaders of this country have had some extraordinary obstacles to overcome and they've had to rise to meet many challenges. They have left little bits of wisdom along the way I hope you'll find interesting.

So here are some of my favorite leadership quotes from US Presidents:

I recently saw an article entitled "Clinton: Iraq War Bush's Responsibility". I very rarely touch on political topics because I feel politics in general is such rubbish. Not to mention, it effectively creates the perception of separation and elitism which is totally against every universal and spiritual principle known to man.

In December of 2000, Al Gore conceded the election for President of the United States to George W. Bush.

I won't go into all that led up to that event or all that followed. That's not what I want to talk about. However, as bad as the results must have seemed to Al Gore at the time, if ever one man's loss might have become a world's gain, that might have been the moment.

Al Gore, of course, went on from that defeat to produce (and star in, I guess you could say) a telling, and Oscar winning, movie documentary about the perils of global warming, or climate change, depending on what camp you're in. It was a subject that he has fervently followed, studied, and whose importance he has believed in for years.
