Yesterday is a book that each of us needs to write based on who and what we were and have become; the sum total of our education and experiences as we made our way through our allotted years. Any of us can do this at any time but, to me, it seemed that in my younger and middle years there was never time. What Yesterday is then is a general reminiscing, a ruminating if you will, over my life and times. It's not about me per se, but rather focuses on those verities and understandings...

That's why men in general cannot have any realistic spiritual understandings and easily devoured by religion. They are born into this world physically, carrying the corpses of spirits.

Is it possible that our compulsion to agree is an elaborate man-made control mechanism, rooted in fear?<br><br>James Beyor points out...

Some suggested things like “bikinis and beer,” but Seaman found that most were much more thoughtful – so much so that he created a website and now this...
