Fine Tuning Our Dynamic Democracy  As individuals who are part of families, and in a larger sense, the local and national community, we are taught the value of bettering ourselves, learning from our mistakes, making amends, and improving ourselves. Ideally, we grow wiser, gain greater understanding and insight becoming better individuals over time…ideally at least.  Our interactions with our family, friends, colleagues and the greater community can and do (if we listen intently), give us constructive feedback which can serve to help us fine tune ourselves and our relationships. This process requires executive function machination, and active internal focus on our internal growth and development. Again, ideally, we learn and improve. That which is of most value to us can easily be ‘perceptually downgraded’ for that which is enticing, ‘new,’ and quickly gratifying. This happens an untold number of times a day through the  presence of the technology and th...

Due to the often time hectic schedule family members of different ages have during the 'school/ work' week, a family home may appear like a working village with people coming in and going out. Family life can be reduced to a set of fleeting moments if you over schedule your kids in activities, come home from work late routinely, or are home, but busy.

What causes autism? What causes learning disabilities? What causes neurological disorder? Well, what happens when genetic information is barraged with an on-slaught of toxicity decade after decade? What about the offspring of that DNA? Glitches happen. Neurological glitches. DNA breaks down.  Charles Dickens's opening salvo in his, 'A Tale of Two Cities,' begins with his assertion that these were the best of times, and they were also the worst of times. Never before have people been able to communicate, exchange ideas, travel, or with the ease that exists today. Technological breakthroughs have led to advances in science, and medicine. Innovation has led to growth of business, and industry. Health care is more widely received than ever before.... and yet.... all is not well.... The ocean's are toxified and becoming fish-free, our rivers and water systems are polluted with our run-off from nuclear industry, our gmo and unethical farming practices are chokin...
