We do love to gamble. Let's just admit that. People have been gambling for thousands of years and that is not going to change. But what has changed gambling is the Internet. Gambling online gives you the chance to try dozens of games that you normally would not be able to play in a real casino or at a friend's home.
Bernie Sanders versus Donald Trump: Who Can Save America?
George and I have been reluctant to wade into the politics of the 2016 US Presidential election but it is beginning to look like the two front-runners are Democrat Bernie Sanders and Republican Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush are almost forgotten in the headlines, except where they find themselves immersed in controversies.
The Battle of the Bulge: Can You Lose Weight by Eating?
I am sorry to say there is very challenging news for people who are very much overweight. A new study published in the American Journal of Public Health has concluded that obese people are most likely to remain so, even if they were not born that way. The higher your Body Mass Index (BMI) the less likely you are to lose that weight and keep it off.

How to Fight World Hunger and Global Warming at the Same Time
George and I are very passionate about several causes. We both believe that world hunger and deprivation should be solved and we both believe that global warming can be managed. Neither problem is simple and although we dream about the day when mankind no longer struggles with these issues we know that even if a perfect solution could be found it would take time for everyone to adopt it.
Has ISIS become another Evil Cult in America?
The vast majority of muslims around the world agree that the beliefs and practices of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, known most popularly as ISIS in the west and Daesh among Arabic-speaking peoples, do not represent legitimate Islamic practice and belief.

Where Can You Ask Questions about Saving Money?
I have noticed something disturbing lately. When I have questions about various topics I usually Google them to see who has provided answers. More and more I find that Google shows me really bad articles from blogs and news sites that are just throwing up articles. Some of the worst offenders make you scroll through slideshows to find anything helpful. I almost never read an article that uses a slider any more.
Why are Police Shooting Unarmed Civilians?
The news that Ferguson police chief Tom Jackson has resigned in the wake of a scathing Justice Department review of his performance as leader of the controversial police department has once again ignited the national discussion about how local police departments handle situations with unarmed civilians.
Is Freelance Writing the Only Way to Make Money Online?
George and I have worked hard to establish ourselves as freelance writers. I wish I could say we are getting rich but the truth is that we don't always make so much money. It's hard work but you get a sense of freedom from not having to go into the office or factory every day.
