This page was called the Water Cooler since it is where people usually gather to discuss topics of any type. Some of these topics at times may create some heated debates, can be very interesting, controversial or just interesting. Whatever the result of these topics this page was created to be good natured and interesting so we should all remember a difference of opinion is a right for all of us. Most of all just enjoy the content and try not to get to worked up over what you read. Having said that read and react at your own risk.

      As our knowledge about how things work tends to grow so does the tendency to question some of the things that happen in our daily lives. The topics in this section may or may not be considered conspiracy theories but they are very interesting and questionable. There are certain things that happen which we do not know the answers to and there may not even be an answer but it still raises questions about them.

      Today there seems to be a diagnosis for everything that can possibly happen to a Person. There is definitely a lot more sensitivity today than there was years back, while some are justified due to modern technology others seem to be extreme. These days there seems to be a name for every possible mood that exists. While there are definitely times when a diagnosis is needed but do we need to label every simple thing that occurs so it requires treatment. Sometimes I wonder if a diagnosis is not just utilized to prescribe more pills which may lead to other problems. Just notice some of these commercials which describe all the side effects of taking the pills which cannot be good for long turn use.

      One thing which disturbs me when I watch advertisements on television or hear them on the radio is the ads for medicine. It seems we have come to accept the fact that along with almost all pills that are advertised they seem to mention that there are side effects. Now do not get me wrong I realize that there may well become a time in our life we need to take a pill now and then, Sometimes I just wonder if they need to be prescribed so much. If it was natural to take pills so often would there be as many side effects? Are there other methods such as alternative health which could be looked into more than it is, or is it just easier to prescribe a pill and hide the root cause. Have we become a society who cares more about popping a pill rather than actually trying to correct the problem?

      We were all affected by the suddenly large increase in the price of gas which was due to the ever changing oil prices mostly coming out of the Middle East. The one thing that amazes me is how gas prices always go up during a holiday due to all the travel. Why is it that when it comes to most commodities the government steps in and regulates them but gas remains unaffected by regulation? Perhaps there is a hidden agenda going on and they want to use this commodity to control us. Or maybe the ones who need to be involved in the regulation are actually making money from it.

      There have been many other options offered such as vehicles that use different types of fuel and even electric cars. There are even those I am sure we never heard about since large gas companies bought them before they were released since it may hurt their profits.

      Of course now that the oil supply is shrinking other alternatives are starting to be looked at. Will our society be dependent on whatever these other options are or will we learn from past experience and actual make a change to allow various choices this time.
