Investigate electric cars before you decide to purchase one

Tulsa Beacon

I had a young female friend tell me she wasn’t worried about gasoline prices because she owns an electric car. She likes the fact that they don’t have emissions and they are high tech. She figures to save a lot of money and to “save the planet.” Maybe not. Here are some of the problems…

‘The Church of Homer Simpson’ just reinforces ignorance

Tulsa Beacon

I had a thought today.  I know this surprises you as much as it did me. For the most part, we are not a thinking people. Someone says, “Buy this,” and we buy it. Our society as a whole has lost the art of thinking. Since we don’t think much anymore, we now have people…
