This time it comes from a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article on the dire straits that family dairy farms continue to suffer here in Wisconsin. I don’t have an answer for that issue and I wish I had. But one thing they shouldn’t have added to their issues…is pulling one of the family off the […]
Kimberly-Clark Didn’t Get The Memo!
Today international paper products manufacturer, Kimberly-Clark, announced that it may close up to 10 plants worldwide and reduce their workforce by 5,500 people.

Apparently because they […]
Today in 1947, the British formally ended their 200-year colonial rule of India. The opinion of the rest of the civilized world forced them to bow to the inevitable due in large part to the work of one man, Mahatma Gandhi. Beginning in 1893, Gandhi spent 21 years in South Africa working against racial discrimination […]
