Of course you don’t believe me. Open the image in an image editing program then cut square B, and place it next to square A. Or use the eye dropper tool to select each square’s color and […]

CNN | Military to go to New Orleans - Are we one step from savages?

You read some of the stories and realise for our civilization, we are still but one step away from savages.

Spend time looking back

You hear go-getters and high-achievers talk about always looking forward, but what about us average Joes?
