How to defend yourself against 21st century travel scams

Europe is a surprisingly creative place when it comes to travel scams. Many of the most successful gambits require a naively trusting tourist, but seasoned travelers can be taken in, too. We should all be wary of the numerous subtle scams — a cabbie pads your fare, a hotel business-center computer records your password, or a waiter offers a special with a "special" increased price. But if you're cautious and not overly trusting, you should have no problem. Here are […]

COMMENTARY: Political New Year’s resolutions for 2020

I wrote a Letter to the Editor which was sent out to roughly a dozen publications over the weekend, but only one took the time to publish it. I feel it was appropriate to share: As we enter a new year, a new decade and yet another election cycle, the ongoing question from fed-up voters keep ringing in my mind: “Why don’t we have other candidates running for office? These candidates on the ballot are awful!”   It’s an easy […]

EDITORIAL: Twitter, Spotify choose to be losers in 2020 election ad race while Facebook, Google cash in

Presidential candidates running for the role of commander-in-chief have spent more than $105 million on digital ads to date. Facebook and Google have received a lion's share of the ad revenue. Twitter chose to opt-out for the 2020 presidential election, and just recently, Spotify decided to opt-out as well. This is despite political organizations like the campaign of Bernie Sanders and the Republican National Committee who previously utilized the platform's paid ad network. With billionaires in the presidential race, such […]

Celebrating a happy Christmas in England

For scenes straight out of a box of old-fashioned Christmas cards, head to England at Yuletide. Many classic Christmas trappings, from caroling to mince pie and wassail, have been part of English tradition for centuries. Other holiday customs have more recent roots in 19th-century Britain. Queen Victoria's German husband, Prince Albert, popularized the decorating of Christmas trees and the sending of Christmas cards. Around the same time, Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol — still performed every December on thousands […]

COMMENTARY: Trump impeachment set to be another waste of taxpayer dollars

I will be the first to admit that I'm no fan of President Donald J. Trump. I was so disgusted with the duopoly's candidate-throat-shoving via the GOP's Trump and the Democrats' Hillary Clinton. I voted for Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson without hesitation because I'm beyond disgusted with both major parties. The current attempts in the House to impeach Trump with a full vote expected before the end of the 2019 session can be somewhat equated to the 1998 impeachment of […]

COMMENTARY: Elections limited to two-party system is unhealthy

Uncontested elections are even worse Petitioning recently ended for the members of the political duopoly for their upcoming primary election in Illinois taking place on March 17, 2020. Only in two counties was a political party that was neither Democrat nor Republican allowed to slate candidates for their own partisan primary. Libertarians in McLean and Kankakee counties recently filed their petitions for their own party primary. It's bad enough when your choices are often limited to Democrat or Republican, but […]

OP-ED: How will universal healthcare change human behavior?

Co-pays are gone, premiums are gone, all out of pocket prices are gone! - Bernie Sanders at the DNC presidential debate on Oct. 15th, concerning his universal health care program. The healthcare industry is very complex. There are numerous jobs that require accreditation; all the producers of hospital equipment and medicine; the construction contractors that have to be hired to build the facilities and there are probably a hundred or more other factors that are involved in providing health care.

COMMENTARY: Consolidation is inevitable, so quit whining

A local news outlet wrote an editorial Tuesday, citing they were not convinced on the issue of consolidation. I guess none of the editorial staff at Hillsboro's The Journal-News understand the whole idea of consolidation, more or less the definition of it. The word gets tossed around a lot, from science and technology to economics, but the definition of consolidation is simply put: the merging or integration of many items into one Consolidations have taken place many times in the business […]
