Charles Bernard Rangle was born on June 11th 1930 in Harlem in New York City. His mother supported him and his two siblings working as a maid and a seamstress in a factory in the city's Garment District. His father left the family when Charles was 6 years old. He did well in elementary and middle school but in high school Charles was frequently in trouble. He dropped out of school when he turned 16. After quitting school Charles Rangle spent the next two years working in low paying jobs when he decided in 1948 to join the U.S. Army. He was a member of 503rd Field Artillery Battalion that was deployed in Korea during the Korean War. It was here during the war that Rangle showed his courage, his...
INSIGHT Some years back, who would have thought of such a phenomenon, an African American growing up to become an American president in a country where few years back, blacks were marginalized and segregated from the whites? A country where many black civil rights activists and leaders were murdered in cold blood just because they voiced out their grievances against the injustice, social prejudice and segregation taking place on a day to day basis in the USA. Finally, on the 4th of November 2008, history was made with Barack Obama declared President Elect of the USA, and on January 20 2009 he was sworn in as the first African-American president in the USA. This singular event shook the entire world...
Here's What an African American Dating Service...
There are many so called African American dating services for single African American men and women. The website dating services have become so popular and well-liked by the African American community that it has experienced massive growth in terms of active memberships. In fact, each time you surf through the numerous personal ads, you'll be able to meet all kinds of interesting people in just one click of a button. The thing is, a lot of similar websites fill their databases with boring, plain, and sometimes empty ads that you'd get sick and tired of participating anymore. With the higher quality services, you won't have to deal with this kind of problem anymore because they will have earned...
Imus is Sunk - Hip Hop Sails Away Unscathed
Among the fairest and most balanced offerings on the Imus incident hails from journalist Ellis Cose in Newsweek for the week of April 23, 2007 in an article entitled "What Will We Learn." Another offering well worth the read is "Imus' Safety Net Failed" penned by the World Net Daily columnist Barbara Simpson, April 16, 2007. TV interviews are too numerous to cite even though not much variation is offered. It seems like a replay of the same interview and it goes like this. Imus had a right to say what he wants, networks and corporate supporters have the right to bounce him and why doesn't somebody call Rap and Hip Hop out on the carpet. Naturally when a race card pops up Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton...
If you don't live in an area with a large concentration of African Americans, you might be surprised at the level of diversity within the Black community. Southern Blacks, northeastern Blacks, west coast Blacks, lower class Blacks, middle class, upper class Blacks. Social conservatives. Liberals. Athiests. Agnostics. This fact of intraracial diversity gets overlooked far too often in discussions of race. Recently, I finished reading Lawrence Otis Graham's mildly controversial, "Our Kind of People: Inside America's Black Upper Class," which comprehensively details the history and character of upper class African Americans throughout the United States. Graham describes the social organizations...
Step shows can be found nearly everywhere in the United States. Once exclusively performed by African American Greek fraternities and sororities who originally helped to develop the popularity of the step shows, these shows are spreading across the country and around the world. More and more people are becoming involved in stepping from campus organizations and church groups to high schools and local communities. The international Greek lettered fraternities and sororities under the umbrella organization for nine historically Black, the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) is an international Greek lettered group. . The Greek-lettered societies which are referred to collectively as the "Divine Nine...
This book is mostly geared to the college sociology student and the instructor, and starts with chapters on sociological theories on race and ethnicity. Marger thereafter goes on to treat major factors and histories of the major racial groups in the United states (White Ethnic Americans, native Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, African Americans and Jewish Americans). Marger comes across as a dedicated and enthusiastic scholar, he balances the prejudices, misconceptions, projections of the races with their histories in the United States. Whites have differential histories, as Irish, Germans, Russians, British, etc. He breaks down their entrance into the United states, the prejudices...
The Most Effective Therapy Hypnosis brings us into more resourceful states of mind and brainwave frequencies which have a profound effect on how we think, act and feel. This is the easiest way in the world to bring about change in ones state of mind, ones habits, to reduce stress or stimulate one to achieve their true potential. Continued Prejudice and Pseudo Hypnosis Because of the prejudices involved many main stream practitioners present Hypnosis under a multiplicity of other pseudonyms. At the turn of the 20th century one was called the ‘Janet method of relaxation' followed by the ‘Pierce method', and the ‘DuBois method'. More recently we had Jacobson's progressive relaxation. At present...
Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows - The End...
Harry Potter; most believe this to be a children's book. Those who believe that have obviously never picked one up! JK Rowling's target Audience were adult's. Book one flew to popularity in the eye's of children. However as the series progressed, the stories got much darker. Focusing on issues such as racism, war and even death. The Back story: Tom Marvolo Riddle, also known as Voldemort grew an army while in Hogwarts, later they would be known as Death Eaters. Voldemort wanted to take over the magical world, in his ancestor Slytherin's name. Teaching only those with the "truest" blood, and being cruel to Muggles and "Mudbloods". Albus Dumbledore grew an army too, The Order of The Phoenix. Which...
Stereotypes-An Intercultural No-No
As more or more people from different backgrounds, countries, cultures and religions immigrate to foreign lands, those countries become an intercultural melting pot. In order for the native people and the immigrant population to blend and create a thriving and successful atmosphere both sides need to develop some sort of intercultural tolerance and understanding of the differences that may exist between them. An example of poor intercultural understanding, or one based simply on stereotypes, is offered by the town of Herouxville in Quebec, Canada. A declaration issued by the town in January 2007, which was designed to inform immigrants, "that the way of life which they abandoned when they left their...
A Story of Change - From KKK Member to...
This morning, the longest serving senator in the history of the United States passed away at the age of 92. Robert Byrd, who was from West Virginia, was first elected to the Senate when Kennedy was president. He served in the House of Legislators before that. In his early years, Byrd would certainly have not been called a progressive. He was a former member of the KKK; in fact, one of the Grand Dragons from the KKK was the one who convinced him to first run for political office. During the 1960′s, he joined other segregationist Senators, like Strom Thurmond from South Carolina, in an attempted block of the Civil Right's legislation. However, time changes people. Later, Byrd apologized for his...
"Harm Done" by Ruth Rendell
"Harm Done" is the fourth - and so far the last - book from the Chief Inspector Wexford series that I have read. It's also the longest, and no murder happens in it until page 350, which is the last quarter of the thick volume. But I never thought of putting the book aside. It starts with two enigmatic disappearances of two young girls on two consecutive Saturday nights followed by their equally enigmatic return home in a few days after abduction. Both girls are extremely reluctant to tell the true story of their adventures - they prefer elaborate lies. Wexford, who is never satisfied with the results until the case is really and truly closed, undertakes to dig to the bottom of the affair. Meanwhile...
College Scholarships For Minorities Maintains...
It has always been seen that minorities are not treated equally. Their due rights are not provided to them, which is a very depressing sign in our societies. Racism has gripped our souls. In this situation, when minorities are being treated like this, college scholarships for minorities have brought some kind of positivity in the lives of minorities. Providing equal opportunities to the minorities, related to education is very important. It is education, which helps in making a person, successful and civilized. At this point of time, the minorities are being fully supported, in terms of scholarships, which let them to acquire proper and quality education from well known and reputable universities...
Invisible Ink - Book Review
Carl Veno's book, Invisible Ink, provides an insider's view of the newspaper world during the author's 25-years as a journalist and editor - at a time when major events were having dramatic affects on American society. Told in a no-nonsense matter-of-fact manner, the tales of experience are intermingled with the author's family history, including the immigration of his Italian ancestors to America more than 125 years ago. Reminiscent moments clearly reveal Carl's fond memories of growing up and his youthful love of New York. Various newspaper readership "wars" were destroying and absorbing each other during an incredible age of change and discovery for the American people. Exciting and newsworthy...
An Open Letter To President Obama On Healthcare...
Mr. President: I know that you are a very busy man so I will try to keep my questions about health care reform and the recently passed legislation as short and simple as possible. - I could ask you why you think this is a good piece of legislation even though I truly believe that it will be a failure and will come very close to bankrupting the country. The basis for my conclusion has nothing to do with political partisanship (in fact, I have never voted for a Republican for national office in my life.) From my perspective, "Obama Care" never effectively addressed the root causes of our escalating health care costs: Americans eat too much of the wrong kinds of food, they exercise far too little, they...
Unpacking the "Cordoba Initiative" The United States. What a country to live in. What an embracing people Americans are. Really. Listen to this, where else in the world would terrorists be welcome to live their lives anonymously and worship as they please, destroy a couple of national landmarks killing a few thousand people and then complain about racism should they be denied the opportunity to put a monument like a jewel in their crown in honor of their horrendous terrorism? Think about it. If the Jews had done such a thing, would a synagogue be allowed to be erected on ground zero? If Americans had bombed a mosque in New York City, would it be in good taste to raise a Christian cultural center...
Many people see my constant, happy smile and make instant assumptions about me and my past. However, my childhood was a pretty traumatic one. In the bad old days, as I call them, I would pass a mirror, momentarily liked what I saw but then suddenly, and inexplicably, would start telling myself that I was 'crap', that I 'hated' myself and I was 'pathetic'. I had buried my trauma deep inside me, refusing to face them and, slowly, it took its toll in a continuous lack of self-love and low self-esteem. Gradually, and painfully, I learned that I had to sort out my past, face it and move on, and then begin the slow process of self-love. The wonderful result is clear to see now. At the root of our main...

Russell Peters
td> And what is your background, Pinky? Russell Peters looked directly at me from the stage at Yuk-Yuks in Ottawa Ontario at the 8 pm Saturday, Sept 9th show. I was wearing a blue shirt, so I wasn't getting the 'Pinky' comment until my wife, Janet, pointed out that I was all red-in-the face from laughing. Hey, we were seated center stage right in front of the microphone, so we knew we were potential targets for Russell's smooth and engaging wit. I was mentally prepared. Not! I blurted out, Czech European Cape Bretoner! Did I just say that? Not even a sentence! Now it was out there for Russell Peters to mould into an interactive dialogue about rouge children, dirty Czech talk and...
In the world of dating, many factors combine to determine how successful a man is with the ladies. Some of them are valid, some of them, not so. In light of all this, just how big of a part does race play when it comes to attracting women? First of all, let's get real for a minute. Racism exists in the world today. The reasons it does are varied. They range from unfamiliarity, to fear of the unknown, perceived cultural differences to just plain personal preference. However, when it comes to the dating world, the effect that race has on a man's success is more negligible than many people realize. In fact not just race, but height, income, personality and the way you dress are all small players when...
Today people traveling and migrating around the globe is more commonplace and unprecedented than ever before. In the United States our population is becoming increasingly racially and culturally diverse. Telecommunications technology and the internet have made connecting with people far away much easier. Along with this increased interconnectivity and intermigration has come an increasing acceptance of other races, traditions and cultures, much more so then was the case a generation or two ago. All of this has led to an increase in intercultural relationships and makes it much more likely that you will date and fall in love with someone of a different ethnicity, from a different culture or...
Ah yes, you've seen them, you know them, you've read their drivel: Haters! They lurk on YouTube, hang out in chat rooms, scoff to themselves at music stores. Their incendiary comments cut down, demean, and just plain make fun of just about everything they don't agree with, which is just about everything. These snobs don't stop at blasting people's playing but venture into other non-sequiters such as downing the type of equipment players use or questioning someone's love of a particular player or music style. What drives them to carry out their despicable deeds? Is it the musical prowess that they believe they possess? Do Haters see themselves as keepers of the true faith and protectors of all things...
The Power of Four - Leadership Lessons of Crazy...
I love this small book of four powerful leadership teachings. While "Leadership Lessons of Crazy Horse" may seem, initially, as less than appropriate, read on. Yes, Crazy Horse was one of the Indian military leaders that helped defeat Custer at Little Bighorn in 1876. But he was also an "inspirational and effective leader." What is surprising is that his lessons are just as useful today. The author does a masterful job of using Crazy Horse's examples and stories from Native Americans to illustrate his points. Marshall, a Lakota Indian, combines his ancestors' ways with contemporary instances to force us to step back and think. We see the spiritual lessons of his tribe. This journey reveals much of...
The 3 Unbelievable Banned Books in Your School...
During the past 200 years, America has gone through many political phases. During these times, many books have been banned by communities who felt that they were providing a poor influence for their children. However, it may surprise you which books were banned! Many of the following children's titles are widely available and critically acclaimed. Read on and see the 3 banned books that were most surprisingly banned in school libraries in the US. I also included the reasons why they were banned. 1. Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time." Her books actually take place in some vivid fantasy world the one would never want to escape from. (Remember J.K. Rowling's Hogwarts?) The book's plot centered on...
Freakonomics - A Rogue Economist by Steven D...
This is one extremely entertaining book which will seem like an intellectual adventure for you (the book is not without its problems, but we can safely ignore those). The author, Steven D. Levitt, is great at questioning conventional wisdoms. At the same time, he takes the help of traditional tools he learned while studying economics to find answers to these very questions he is asking. The way he answers these questions is interesting and engaging, and that's precisely the reason the readers feel captivated the moment they start reading. Provocative, Interesting and Reasoned Answers The answers to his own questions as developed by Steven D. Levitt are provocative, interesting and reasoned at the...

Lessons Learnt in FIFA World Cup 2010
1. USE TECHNOLOGY Frank Lampard's goal was ruled out because that referee is blind! If that goal was counted, Germany might not have been so superior to England after all as they were heavily depending on their discipline counter attacks. With technology, we as Asians have now the accessibility to invest in investments such as shares or real estates in other continents which are highly attractive in value due to the US Financial Crisis & European Debt Crisis. E.g, We have facebook to connect to real estate agents in US and Google Earth to view our properties in US. Are you capitalizing on the power of technology when managing your wealth? 2.

Many Black and Minority Ethnic Social Workers in social care settings are often not understood by the very people who employ them. The main views being:o Use of the English Language is not right,o Problems speaking to or presenting reportso Did not succeed at interviews due to underselling themselveso Defensive when relating to colleagues or bosses. The feedback generally amounts to "work on communication skills" or "this worker needs to go on a good report writing course". For Black and Minority Ethnic workers our language, which also includes pidgin, patois, dialects and accents have been scrutinized and included in the way our bosses think about us well before we get into the interviewing room or...
Relationship Between Huckleberry Finn and His...
As it happens in the many outstanding works of literature, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn comprises of several themes developed around a central plot. In the case of Mark Twain’s novel, it is a story of a young boy, Huck, and an escaped slave, Jim with the description of their moral, ethical, and human development during thrilling adventures down the Mississippi River that brings them into many conflicts with greater society. The big society however is not Huck’s major concern, it’s his father who himself is an outsider and a rebel. Pap is the one who makes Huck’s life much more complicated than all the rest people in the world. Although being a father is an important role and a huge...
Prince Caspian - Our Inner Child Finds A New Hero
"Prince Caspian," the sequel to the 2005 Disney hit, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," does not pick up the story where its predecessor left off, in Narnia's exhilarating Golden Age, but in a time of fear and despair. From this deep dip on the cinematic roller-coaster, it offers to lift us to the heavens, with many a rise and fall and a twisty turn between. In its masterful blend of fast pacing, exciting action, dazzling special effects, and thrilling musical score, "Prince Caspian" does not disappoint. Back to the Narnian Beach With the next school term looming ahead, the Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, wait gloomily at a railway station in 1941 England. Suddenly, they feel...
Watch the Pacific
I know a lot of World War II buffs have been looking forward to the new miniseries The Pacific for a long time now. It seems like only yesterday when I saw Band of Brothers and had to pick my jaw up from the floor by the end of that epic series. I'm a long time World War II buff and enthusiast and I've been fascinated by World War II for many years now. Older black and white films from the John Wayne era were interesting and exciting but in recent times some of the luster of those old films has faded; they were more valuable for the patriotism and celebration of American heroism rather than as depictions of history. For some of the real soldiers who lived through some of the most vicious battles...
What Does It Take To Feel Truly Alive
What is stopping you from enthusiastically living your life? Here you are in the middle of this massive adventure called life, with the possibility of having tremendous success and enjoying wealth, health, wonderful relationships, and the fulfillment of your talents, yet somehow you seem to have run out of joy. Looking back, it seems as if you can't really think of ever having lived as if it were an adventure. There may have been pockets of spontaneous outbursts and creative expression, but they seem few and far between. If you're like most people, much of your life has been spent in stress, strain, and struggle. The bad news is that with each passing day, you're running out of time. The only way...
Pros And Cons Of Affirmative Action Plan
A very common and widely accepted definition of affirmative action plan states that "it is a policy or a program designed to promote the representation in various systems of people of a group who has traditionally been discriminated against, with the aim of creating a more egalitarian society". Based on this definition and the application of the action within the United States, there have been praises and criticisms for and against its administration. Let us go on to explore both sides of the coin. Some critics posit that white students have been denied admission to prestigious schools, regardless of their current situation, in the name of affirmative action plan. They claim that blacks, Hispanics...

However, it can be a bit of a struggle to uncover these scholarships if you don't know where to look. You may be frustrated at the seeming lack of opportunities - you may even feel like giving up.

Huckleberry Finn's Shout-Outs to Hamlet and...
While it's nearly impossible to find a literary work that doesn't reference another literary work, it isn't always easy to tell why such references are included. Sometimes they foreshadow important plot points, sometimes they help characterize a person in the narrative, and sometimes, we're convinced, they're just included to make the author sound smart. The really good ones, however, work on multiple levels - the most important of which being to further the story's overarching message. Oh yeah, and to make us laugh. Observe. Two of the most memorable allusions in literature have got to be the Shakespeare shout-outs in Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. After taking up with two swindlers...
All About Wristbands and When They Can Be Used
If you have ever organized an event or been to a big event where there is limited entry, you might know how difficult it is to keep a check on the number of people. Especially at places where entry is chargeable, the proper organization is very important. Disorganized management can mean loss of revenue. It is quite common to use ID bands at such places. They are bands that are placed around the wrist that helps to identify and differentiate people. For example, it can be used for differentiating the people who have made the payment from those who haven't so that they can be given entry in an event. Anyone without the band would not be permitted or for identifying adolescents below 18 years of age...

The Lord God Love says: 1) The slain of all nations will be thrown out. 2) The dead bodies of all nations will send up a stench. 3) The mountains will be soaked with the blood of all nations. 4) The stars of the heavens will be dissolved. 5) The sky rolled up like a scroll. 6) The starry host will fall like withered leaves...
Is Race-Baiting Setting Back Racial and...
If you look at U.S. Political History, there is a common theme. The rich and powerful have to find a way for the poor and middle class to support their cause and economic ideas. To do this, they often use race. One example would be the way poor Southern whites supported the Confederacy during the Civil War, even though the economic system of plantations and slavery was actually limiting their own possibilities. The poor southerners would at least be more powerful and not have to worry about the African-Americans around them if the system continued the way it was. Another famous example was Nixon's Southern Campaign, where he used the Republican's own opposition to the Civil Rights Movement to...
A Cultural Generalization Out of Context
The incident happened during the LeWeb event, which took place December 9-10th in Paris. Loic LeMeur, a Frenchman who moved to Silicone Valley to set up his company, organizes LeWeb. During the "friendly" wrap up session, there were a few comments about whether Silicone Valley entrepreneurs were better than French entrepreneurs were. Loic LeMeur and Michael Arrington, two well-known personalities, voiced differing points of views. This debate sparked a reaction in the European audience at this live event. And the comments continued after the event. - US and European Entrepreneurs - More Than an Ocean Divides Them I initially did not respond to this incident because I did not attend. In addition, I...
Review: Russell Shorto's "The Island At...
Up to now the preponderant view held by many historians is that Dutch contribution to American history and particularly to that of New York has been one of irrelevancy. As we no doubt realize, the winners write history, and unfortunately, whatever the losers may have contributed, it seems to be lost or forgotten in the shuffle. Fortunately, during the past thirty years and thanks to the translation of many Dutch records that have been recently discovered pertaining to the early colony of New Netherlands, a different picture has emerged. It is this new perspective that author Russell Shorto has vividly and brilliantly captured in his latest gem of a book entitled, The Island at the Center of the...
Sechaba Padi: No Turning Back!
From both physical and spiritual perspectives, Sechaba Padi's road to success has been a rough one, fraught with many hurdles and stumbles. Recently crowned the new king of the South African Gospel scene after winning the coveted award for Best Traditional Gospel Album at the MTN South African Music Awards, the street-boy turned gospel-sensation has much to thank God for. His remarkable story, one of both stardom and salvation, serves to remind us that success is not to be measured by our popularity before men but our position before God. Sechaba was a pastor's kid in name but not in nature. "I grew up in a gospel house," he reminisced in an exclusive chat with Read Us, "but I wasn't following what...

Global Human Resourse Management
GLOBAL HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT When dealing with people ,let us remember we are not only dealing with creatures of logic but also with creatures of emotion, prejudices, pride and vanity, said Dale Carnegie,the well known American writer. We must remember that emotion, prejudice and pride are the part of the individuals' culture and if the cultures of employees vary, it would become more complex to manage such people. This becomes even more acute when the economy witnessing expansion and growth, stretching across geographical and political barriers and frontiers. Deep- rooted competition which is existing in every...
Women and Leadership
Women and Leadership Recent years more and more women have appeared on the international arena as successful political leaders. This tendency shows that women have the same leadership abilities as men and can successfully perform as Presidents and Prime Ministers. This trend is a good sign for leadership in the world which can be interpreted as a great step towards equal opportunities and the ability of public to overcome prejudices against women abilities to lead and rule. Women leadership abilities are formed under the influence of individual characteristics, internal and external environment. It is concerned with why they choose a particular course of action in preference to others, and why they...
Prophet Mohammad (SM) And His Life In Mecca
The people at that time in the desert land in the dark Arabia had kept faith upon him in order to lead the youth in a peaceful manner. The object of such promise was to help mankind by way of religion and leading them to control. The social people loved him and got acquaintance of 'Al-Amin' which means trustworthy. That is to say, the people of Mecca at that time had scarcity of faith among themselves, so they had developed faith with Mohammad having seen the activities of Mohammad based on spiritualistic behaviour linked with Allah directly, specifically when they kept their goods preserved to Mohammad, took it under his control and returned it at the response of them. Thus, the people of Mecca...
Diversity, Multi-Cultural & Global...
Diversity, multi-cultural & global awareness is a huge issue on college & university campuses. International students are a large portion of today's college campus student body. Therefore global & multi-cultural awareness should be embraced, but most American students have never traveled abroad and don't understand other cultures or ethnicities. As a world traveling humanitarian worker, minister and professional speaker I serendipitously stumbled upon the need of multi-cultural and global awareness on college campuses while participating in a volunteer international language conversation hour for foreign students desirous of learning English. It was a small way of giving back, not to...
The Music You Like Reflects Your Personality
Most of the people like music, and someone said that good music is the spiritual food for the person who adores it. Music is very important and always be the best choice for any people with a good taste for music. When you are listening to the music with your iPhone, not only the music but also you are listening to some other's story. If you like it, that is because you may have the similar experience, or you want to try your best to understand the singer's heart through the music. The professional researchers from Cambridge show that people can judge the other person only by the musical style he likes. What's more, a survey covering 36,000 individuals worldwide reveals that one's musical taste has...
Why You Should Always Choose Your Friends...
- This article is a chapter from The Hidden Side of Things by C W Leadbeater first published (1913) - Since it is emphatically true that no man can afford to be disliked or feared by his cat or dog, it is clear that the same consideration applies with still greater force to the human beings who surround him. It is not easy to overestimate the importance to a man of winning the kindly regard of those with whom he is in constant association-- to overrate the value to a schoolmaster of the attitude towards him of his pupils, to a merchant of the feeling of his clerks, to an officer of the devotion of his men; and this entirely apart from the obvious effects produced in the physical world. If a...
Child Custody - Try to Keep Strangers Out of...
My clients have hired guardian ad litems who have done a good job of investigating their custody claims. However, they have also been ripped off by people who take sides, and judges who don't think for themselves. The result can be that a child ends up in a situation that is not necessarily in her best interest, and that can be down right damaging. As I said, not all "GALs" are bad. I had one recently who did a good job. His report was not in my client's favor, but I could see that he had done a lot of work before he came to his conclusion. In addition to visiting each of the parent's homes several times, he investigated their medical records, job histories and references. He pointed out the...
Did you have a reality check and it bounced? Okay, the stock market is dropping like a Las Vegas drunk on New Years Eve. Layoffs abound. The US government is nationalizing the banking system with tens of billions of dollars, the top 3 automakers in the US are begging for bailout money . . . Need I say more? It's that time. It's that tough time. All people have it at one or more times in their lives and so do economies. Believing makes it so. For those who've been laid off or who are witnessing their 401 K's tanking, their stocks dragging knuckles like a caveman or just plain fear is welling up in anticipation of the media fear circus, there is GOOD NEWS. The truth is a lie. Oh, it's the truth as far...
