It's not the police who need to be retrained, it's the public. We have grown into a mouthy, mobile phone wielding, vulgar, uncivil society with no personal responsibility and the attitude of 'it's the other person's fault', 'you owe me'. A society where children grow up with no boundaries or knowled...

A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then on. As I grew up, I never questioned his place in m...

No amount of new laws can render a solution for the problem, the red cloud of fury prevents these low lifes to consider anything other than their perceive...

Why is it that no one just has everyday experiences in life but has to be on a "journey"? Why can't people enjoy their occupation or at least be satisfied with it without having to be "passionate"? When something good happens why can't we just be happy instead of being "humbled"? Why is everything descr...
