http://wonders.kaebender.com/2013/05/what-can-adults-learn-from-this-nine.html
Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. What can adults learn from this nine-year-old? Nine-year-old Luke Sekera of Fryeburg ME is standing up to a bully trying to abuse his town. Mind you, with its water under the contract, the community would have to draw its water from an area where an old industrial site once stood. It's not right that, as Luke says "If we want to drink our town's natural spring water, we have to buy it in the store.". He spe...

Wonders: Why not ask a perfectionist to do any yard work?
http://wonders.kaebender.com/2013/12/why-you-dont-ask-perfectionist-to-do.html
Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Monday, December 30, 2013. Why not ask a perfectionist to do any yard work? When I returned from Georgia after a week of 20s here, my locally-infamous Rube Goldberg watering system had decided to give up the ghost (even though I'd turned it off at the main). Instead, I liberated some of the brick edging:. You are probably asking yourself, as I did several times while amputating hydra limbs, is this really necessary? In this complex...

Wonders: How could it make sense for US to pay reparations for slavery?
http://wonders.kaebender.com/2014/06/how-could-it-make-sense-for-us-to-pay.html
Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Monday, June 16, 2014. How could it make sense for US to pay reparations for slavery? So I've been skeptical about the idea of reparations. Who would pay and who would be paid? How would it work? And most of all, how could it possibly be equitable? Now, I've read Ta-Nehisi Coates's The Case for Reparations. And he's convinced me to take a different perspective. He says,. Looking back, I've lived a pretty whitewashed life. In the Si...

Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Monday, September 30, 2013. What time is it for America? When government agents are subverted by external entities to act in ways that endanger the proper function of government and force hardship on a nation's population, their traitorous acts should be exposed, and shocked citizens should demand corrective action. It's time for the investigative journalists to report their findings. Congressional officials who obstruct the govern...

http://wonders.kaebender.com/2013/12/where-in-world-are-our-priorities.html
Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Where in the world are our priorities? Ever wonder why the US has so many ignorant citizens? Is it our priorities that are confused or do we just take whatever the media dishes up for us? It seems unconscionable to dumb-down America's awareness of world events, but the December 9, 2013, issue of Time. The fluff for news substitution has happened before. Doesn't that make you Wonder?

Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Thursday, October 17, 2013. After the Brinksmanship, what next? First we need perspective:. It's true: The USA isn't the center of the universe. Our universe isn't even the center of the galaxy, and there are so many other far distant points we didn't even know existed beyond the darkness. But first, we have to learn from our mistakes and stop repeating failed historic choices:. We must realize that momentary additions to the botto...

Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Monday, August 4, 2014. You're dropping your tax dollars into a Black Hole. Everyone agrees: You're dropping your tax dollars into a Black Hole. It's true: The department with the biggest budget has NEVER been audited. There is NO accountability at the Pentagon.

Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Why don't we want kids to excel? I'm mystified. In the course of a single school year, one classroom. In an impoverished school had its students excel. But the regional education chief dismissed the innovative methods that inspired the results saying, “The teaching method makes little difference.”. Despite having no special resources, almost all the students in that one. And especially, they did have one...

Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Monday, March 24, 2014. What are Baby Boomers waiting for? Author PJ O'Rourke seems indeed to be exactly what he says. Is wrong with the Boomer generation - stuck on himself as typical, that is: being "hopelessly ordinary in matters of race, class, gender identification and which section of Playboy he turned to first when he was 16" as if the only Boomer worth noting is a hetero white male. The difference is: we're still struggling...

Life Wisdom and Better Choices for the business of Living in CommonUnity. Saturday, August 2, 2014. How to stop being a doormat. I'm tired of Corporations walking all over People! Their greed pushes them too often lately into bullying and abuse whereas America values public rights and the common good. Every chance I get, I stand up for my values and beliefs and let corporations and Congress know exactly what is right and good for humanity. Sadly, they have a lot to learn. A while back, I blogged.
