Can you stop politicians from lying?

There’s a big difference between going on TV or radio to talk about government policy and taking those opportunities to disseminate lies. It’s perfectly fine for politicians to debate or challenge each other on their ideas but telling blatant lies to deceive the public is something else altogether. It’s unacceptable. So, how do you stop politicians from lying to the public? One solution is quite simple and easy to implement… but will it happen?

Is it worth going vegan?

After a fair bit of deliberation and procrastination, nine months ago I finally took the plunge and went vegan. Why? Publicity and research suggest that a plant-based diet is healthier than eating meat, fish, dairy products, and anything derived from animals.

It was an interesting and eye-opening few months – particularly concerning the world of marketing and big business – but was it worth going vegan?

Whatchoo talkin’ ‘bout, Kambo?

OK, I’ve started blogging. What can you expect to read? I’ll be covering overlooked issues, fixes to problems and suggestions that could make a big impact on society. Decision-makers just drift from one issue to another and neglect foundational problems because they’re boring. That just isn’t right. We need to work on problems scientifically. Sadly, we live in a world of right versus left rather than right versus wrong. Hopefully, some of my musings will strike a chord. (By the way, if you’re under 50, that heading probably won’t mean anything to you!)
