You must try to study the Physiocrats if you are to make sense of the current world economy. They are playing both sides of the[..]

The "Mythbuster" series I began recently was not created to offend entire groups of people. Moreover, it's designed to get us thinking about age-old beliefs that are accepted without question by each generation for no apparent reason. So you can save yourself the trouble of sending me hate mail and allow me my right to free speech under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. So much for the obligatory disclaimer and commercial interruption. Now I'll get to the heart of this subject. I've been a regular church attendee for nearly twenty years: about half of those within the Catholic church system, and the other part with non-denominational types. I participated, in varying degrees, in[..]

The Fox Network television history has not all been plain sailing. It was launched in October 1986 after the parent company of 20th Century Fox, TCF Holdings, sold 50% of its shares to News Corporation for $250 million in 1985. New Corporation then bought six television stations in various major cities from Metromedia. At this time, the stations that they bought were broadcastings to just 22% of households in the United States. Once they started broadcasting as Fox in 1986 there were reaching 80%. This however, was not enough to be considered alongside the other three main networks of ABC, CBS and NBC who were reaching over 97%. Fox was still in its infancy at this point and although it[..]

As a man, I have always felt something "girly" about the word hobbies. Maybe men reading this will agree, that it's not a very masculine concept. Any partners/wives reading this, I'm sure your husband will agree. Pictures of knitting needles, and cakes being baked are conjured up. But it's really not this way at all, I've found out. I'm going to be writing a list of hobbies that men can do without feeling less masculine. Hobbies like these can be relaxing, they can relieve stress, make you friends (manly friends), even expand your knowledge of things. NOTE : No knowledge of baking or soap operas required. First on the list, Fishing. Surely you must've guessed that this would turn up.[..]

Music has without a doubt come a long way since the days when classical music was the most popular in the world. In modern times, pianos have a grand piano lamp and piano light, however back in the times of classical music none of those things were around and the musicians had to play without any of the aids of those technologies. Therefore, some people might argue that musicians back then were actually more talented and some of the greatest music of all time came from that era in human history. The timeless pieces that were created in that era are still around today and well listened to throughout the world, showing that truly great music can last throughout time. One of the most[..]

The Ever- Changing Past Of Buenos Aires Argentina Tango Buenos Aires Argentina Tango has a history that has characterized and exalted its lovers, its town and its nation from the start of what has transformed into an everlasting passion. Of modest lineage, Buenos Aires Argentina Tango is today a symbol of grandeur and beauty, of status and refinement; nevertheless, on the 1880's, as people from Europe, Africa and other continents arrived to the Buenos Aires ports, they favored the "diversions" in pleasure houses, giving birth to tango, as a danced statement of the relationship between the lady of pleasure and her procurer. Hence, the tango was strongly rejected by the high class. On its[..]

For the past few years, I've been going on the women's spiritual retreat with our church. I had never been on a retreat before a few years ago. The only other time I voluntarily lived with women was in college and only then because boys were too messy and smelled funny. To be perfectly frank, in the past I never liked women all that much. I usually had only a few close girlfriends growing up and the rest were guys. Women were always too emotional, too catty for me. They would cry easily and I could laugh with the guys. Tears have always made me uncomfortable. I don't like to cry. Both my parents were coaches, so needless to say tears were frowned upon. If anyone started crying in[..]
