US Congress

The base pay for a US Congressman is $165,000.00 with a $1.3 million budget for staff, offices, postage and travel. Nice. Who wants to run?

Truth is better

I have learned that truth / knowledge / doctrines are the best foundation for thoughts and actions. Too many opportunities are lost because of fear / pride / false conceptions.

Here are some truths

  1. There is sufficient technology to end disease.
  2. There is sufficient resource to end hunger.
  3. There is no such thing as poverty.
  4. People speed on their way to the temple.
We don't accomplish 1 through 3 because of 4.

When we solve #4, we will solve #1 - #3.

More to come!

La Boheme Comes to Puyallup

For all you FOO's, (that is, Friends of Opera) or DKY's (Don't Know Yet),
a wonderful opera opportunity is coming to Puyallup.

The Rainier Family Opera (RFO) will be making their Puyallup debut at Puyallup High School's auditorium on March 21st at 7pm bringing their brand of Family Friendly Opera to our community.

Normally high opera is performed in a very sterile environment where children are banned--literally.

The RFO is designed for families WITH their children.

They perform scenes from several operas with an introduction by a music professor from PLU. It's a delightful introduction and a wonderful experience for children, youth and adults.

The admission is free but a donation of $20 per family and $10 per individual helps to defray the cost of music and facilities. The performers all donate their time and talents.

Come and join me for a wonderful evening.
