Bullies Are Society's Fault
School is starting in a few short weeks, and while many parents are happy to get back into the routine, just as many kids are dreading the coming school year. These kids may like learning, may even get good grades, but still hate going to school. These are the kids who spend as much time... Read more »
The Human Allergy
I have discovered, or rather admitted, I have a potentially life altering allergy. They say the first step in addressing a problem is identifying the fact you have one. This condition is potentially life altering because of the reaction to the allergen. Since I can’t control my exposure to the cause of the reaction, I am at the... Read more »
Insurance Insanity
I have been fortunate that I’ve always had sufficient and even good medical insurance nearly all of my adult life. I do admit part of it is fortune, but part of it is also because of the choices I’ve made, including working for over six years at job I hated, for a company I hated... Read more »

Religion and Abortion
I would like to have an intelligent, dispassionate conversation on religion and abortion. Yeah, I know I’m asking a lot.

Yeah, I know, controversial stuff there. However, my anything list also includes those issues that one would not... Read more »

Denise Williams
Born and bred in Chicago, now living in the wilds of far suburbia. I'm a Gold Star Mom. My views are generally politically and socially conservative, though I am far from a Party line Republican. I believe in this country, our Constitution and above all, in the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I believe our government is supposed to serve the people, not tell them how to live. To me, this is just common sense, but since it seems to be a minority opinion, it has become "Uncommon Sense".
