I recently read a book entitled Who Owns The Earth by James Ridgeway. In it he describes the various natural resources of the earth, where they can be found, what they are used for, their value, who controls them and how much is left.

Hoodwinked by Satan

Like many Baby Boomers (born between 1946 and 1964), I think the pop music I enjoyed in my youth is classic. I recently browsed the web and listened to a song I really liked 30 years ago. It’s about a woman who died and her...
