The “Me Too” Phenomenon

Today I start with the “#MeToo” campaign. It sparked a lot of controversy and outcry in early October 2017 , this year, because of accusations against a certain celebrity. There have been many celebrities that have been accused over the years, and in my lifetime I can name a few at least that I grew up to be household names such as Bill Cosby and Michael Jackson for instance. Some were false allegations, others were fined or locked up. Most celebrities however seem to have gotten away with quite a bit of these allegations and get off with a fine and a small stint in jail or house arrest or not at all because the victim was found to be not trustworthy etc. This being said it seems that this has encouraged the wealthy to encourage and endorse rape culture.

Health care providers , Outrage of treatment of mentally ill patients

I will start this off by some reports, again my own home city. These news reports were over the summer and I randomly encountered them one day while reading online through one of our main tv channel sites, CTV. The reports were of the hospitals and their mistreatment of mental patients. I may have made mention to it before but here I make mention to it again as I got into quite a heated debate about two items, one: how a human being should be treated and two: the concept of “free” health care.

Pill Pushing and Weight Loss Goals

This is an update on my own health. Diabetes wise I'd like to think I'm doing better. However here's where I have a problem. It's with the doctors you see. Medications are necessary and I agree that certain ones are required to cause balance in the brain and body because of certain illnesses and diseases such as mental stability and diabetes or cancer etc. Ok that's fine. My problem? Why push pills that don't need to be had for problems that you can fix other ways that are better for you.
