That's a good thing, right? Well, only if you believe that they deserved to get overtaken by the juggernaut of history and we have something special that means we'll survive longer than they did. A thousand years? We've have to have something very special to be that good. Well, how do we compare? Let's see. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/Romans-34641.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 Well, somebody says that GM foods are good for you, but wait a minute, isn't that the same person who sells it to you? Isn't that the same person who is ripping off Third World farmers, stealing fields from Canadian farmers and concealing the amount of GM in everyday purchases like rice and soya? Uh, do they have my best interests at heart? Or is it their own interests that weigh most heavily? Who's the puppet, and who's pulling the strings? http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/Gm-34048.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 If your children, or the children next door, turned to a life of dangerous drugs, you'd be only too keen to look for a reason and try and find an excuse. Is that any help? It might be that it doesn't matter how the habit started, especially after a few years. What matters is giving up the self-destructive habit. Then we can talk about it. If there's a problem, maybe we can fix it. But that comes later, once you're off the road of addiction. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/addiction-33956.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 Everything's out in the open, these days. Or so we are told. Unfortunately, we're not told everything. In doctor's surgeries and clinics, people find it as difficult as ever to have full and frank discussions. That can't be right, surely? We live in modern times. Not at all, says this article, and goes on to raise several important issues. Well, what do you think? http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/men-33608.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 Why do some people walk out of the casino with a fat wallet and some exit with no shirt on their back? What are the factors that decide winning or losing, and, more important, does this have anything at all to do with real life? Are their 'gamblers' at other things too, apart from cards? The answer, surprisingly, is simpler than it sounds, and the rules, if you choose to follow them, can produce worthwhile results. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/gambling-32700.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 So, what's it to be, young man? Why, you could be a famous sports personality, a singer or creative artist, all without work or effort. You could be rich, famous, an expert in your field, and all without practice. Uh, wait a minute: where are we going? You think it's possible to achieve anything without daily effort? Time to think again. Moving forward is easy, but you have to move your feet. One step at a time. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/progress-32207.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 Children love fairy stories, tall tales of short elves and beautiful maidens. Is it fair to shatter their illusions and puncture their dreams? Certainly not! But what if that 'child' is 21, or 41, or 61? Should they still be allowed to believe in fairies? Doesn't someone, anyone, need to tell them the truth about the economy? Why should they be encouraged to live in Fairy Land forever? http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/economy-31655.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 Life is so unpredictable. Just when you were pretty sure that all swans were white, someone goes off and discovers Australia, where swans can be found that are black. No one was expecting that. Likewise, no one is expecting the edifice of Traditional Publishing to crumble, but after 250 years it is finally beginning to shake. Internet Authoring is the way of the future. That's a surprise too. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/writing-31471.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 Every day is an adventure and every road we go down gives us a choice, which way to go next. What would you choose, good or bad, right or wrong, the worst or the best. Let's look at a few examples and see how frail and stupid we can all be, if we're determined and really put our minds to it. The alternative, of course, is always better, but how many of us can choose that route? http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/right-30405.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 Why should we do what's good for us? Well, apparently, we don't. Despite all the good intentions in the world, not everyone is convinced that medicating the water supply is the best way to treat people in the 21st century. Anyway, they've found other things to do. These days it's drinking water out of a very expensive bottle. People don't always do what they're told! Sorry. http://www.submityourarticle.com/articles/Mike-Scantlebury-1959/medicine-29719.php Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100
