Worplace Confessionals
It is hard to be employed these days. People are scared. Markets are unstable and people are worried about losing their jobs.
I think employers should institute a workplace confessional where managers act as the priests and listen to the concerns of their workers. It would alleviate a lot of the tension and allow people to vent, which in turn would make them more productive.

The Case for God
I would recommend listening to the interview with Karen Armstrong on NPR's Fresh Air. It is such an intelligent refreshing view on religion. Something I haven't heard in a long while.
I am going to head over to Amazon and buy the book.

The Four Types of Healthcare in America
I was listening to NPR's Fresh Air with guest journalist T.R. Reid who wrote the book The Healing of America.
He traveled the world to study the different kind of health care available. He found 4 different kinds of health care implementation. He found all four different kinds in the US:
If you are a Native American or a Veteran- you receive the British system of health care. You never receive a bill and the government picks up the tab.
If you are an employed person sharing your insurance premium with your employer- you receive the German system of health care.
If you are a senior and receive Medicare to see your private doctor- you receive the Canadian system of health care.
If you can't get coverage or can't afford it- you receive the 3rd world country system of health care.
Another interesting fact... America spends 18-20% of health care premiums on administrative costs. France spends 4%. Germany spends 5%. Read more...

Word Art
I stumbled upon this cute little site that will take a RSS feed or any other text sample and create an instant piece of word art.
Take a look at my little masterpiece...
Swine Flu Blues
Found that a niece has Swine Flu. Apparently it is raging through their school. She is going to be fine. I just wonder if this is a taste of what flu season is going to be like...
Regardless, tis the season for washing hands...

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle
I have been a fan of Barbara Kingsolver ever since I read the Poisonwood Bible. After I finished reading that book (one of my favorites) I went in search of her other works. I was surprised to find a wide array of books that were very different from each other. I often read multiple works by one author. She is the first one who seems to take on a distinctly different voice for each book.
This sort of reminds me of myself. I have such diverse interests that continually evolve. If I wrote a book today and one five years from now, I am not sure they would recognize each other.
That is why I am so excited to read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.
Maybe I will get motivated to plant even more in my garden...
