Are You Camera-Ready?
Imagine living in a society in which your next door neighbor, your Uber driver or random citizens reading your social media posts can affect what school you may attend, what career path you may choose or whether you can travel to visit far-off relatives and friends. In China, this is becoming the norm for the entire population.

Yay, Team!
What makes a person become a fan of a professional sports team when that person otherwise appears to be a sensible human being? Why would anyone care which team won in a contest where grown, overpaid adults play children’s games? Why would any sane person purchase an expensive ticket to gain admittance to a stadium built with his tax dollars (and without his permission) to fatten the bank accounts of a handful of individuals who own professional sports teams? Professional sports teams even get free newspaper, radio and television advertising! In direct contrast, if you have a business and want to advertise your products or services, you must pay dearly for it. Not so for the team owners because America’s fake “news media” hands out free advertising to all of them. Why is it “news” when the Dodgers play the Yankees, but the sale at Ma & Pa’s Shoe Store next door to Payless Shoes is not? Why is every move of an athlete shown on the “news,” and commented on in detail by well-known “sportscasters,” but your work as the fastest and most accurate cashier at the supermarket is ignored? Why is socialism given to the rich while the rest of us are deprived of freedom, democracy, and happiness by the failures of capitalism and “free enterprise”? What part of "free enterprise" is free? Your hard-earned tax dollars were stolen to build the stadiums, swimming pools, playing fields, and so forth the wealthy can use to siphon even more loot out of your billfold or purse.

Unasked Questions
After watching shows about the way life used to be in the west (Big Valley and Dr. Quinn if you’re interested), I noticed how care-free most people seemed, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. Obviously, anyone would envy not having to worry about taxes or car insurance yet, but there were so many things that, if they had thought about it, would have been helpful! Depending on the location, culture, and time period, people regularly included or excluded things that hurt their health, social advancement, or access to resources. A commonly-known example is leeches being used to suck infected blood out of a sick patient. I propose that these issues are related to unasked questions.

Manual Scavenging
Overview India is a country of growth, freedom, unity, and tradition. It is our culture that has been binding us since the beginning of time and it still continues to do so. Our independence in 1947 gave us a will to live. To live without fear, in unity, but what has happened to the mindset of the citizens of India? Have we achieved independence from our minds or are we still trapped in the cages of untouchability, caste system and creed? The caste system during the Middle Ages of India was divided into many sects and mainly had the division of upper caste and lower caste. The upper caste was allowed to do everything that a normal human being could do but the lower caste were not allowed to even do the bare minimum and were declared as "untouchable" just because it was decided by the majority.

A Revised History Of Old Junk
I have a secret. For generations, the women in my family have shared a strange and mystical gift; an ancient power so rare and so magical that we scarcely ever speak about it in polite company. Through out the ages this gift has proved to be both a blessing and a burden, and it is often gravely misunderstood by our loved ones.

Can I Sue for a Slip and Fall Accident on Commercial Property?
If you have been injured on someone else’s property, then, in short, yes, you can sue for a slip and fall accident on a commercial property. But in order to win damages for you, your attorney is going to have to prove that the commercial property owner was negligent, and proving negligence in premises liability cases can be quite a challenge. A judge or jury will scrutinize the evidence to determine whether or not you were harmed while on a commercial property due to their failure to behave with the level of care that any other persons of rational prudence would have used under the same circumstances.
