Don't Die From Running Out of Money

  Most of us do what we can to lead a long, healthy and happy life. If health issues threaten our longevity, we do all we can to obtain the medical treatment intended to extend life. Of course, no matter how diligent we may be, eventually we will die from something. Among other things, it could be from an accident, heart disease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease or chronic lower respiratory disease. But there is another type of death that we do have the power to stave off till something else gets us.

Who Needs Referees Anyway?

  There are valid reasons why referees are a vital part of every NFL football game. Their responsibility is to keep the opposing teams on a “level playing field” by identifying and calling out any players, on either team, who take actions that violate the rules of the game. It is one thing to disagree with and complain about the judgment of an NFL referee, but can you imagine the total chaos that would ensue if the NFL coaches decided to disregard any referee’s ruling they did not like? The games would devolve into total chaos. And very quickly the league would fail. Referees Are Not Just For Sports Sports is not the only place where referees are needed to keep things functioning effectively. Referees are also crucial to good government, making sure it is being run fairly and in compliance with the laws and principals of the country. In 1787 the framers of a new constitution for the United States consciously and deliberately delineated three distinct articles of governmen...
