Hope and Change
Hope and change does not solve problems unless we know that the hope is confidence in principle and the change is based upon that principle.
Making Chiropractic Relevant
In order to make chiropractic relevant we must: 1. Abandon oppositionalism (toward medicine). That mindset, which unfortunately, BJ gave us, has and continues to hurt us. I think BJ actually believed that chiropractic was so reasonable and made so much sense that the practice of medicine would just naturally fall by the wayside when people … Read more
Systematic Chiropractic
A system is greater than any individual who helped develop and is part of that system.The individual must subject himself or herself to that system and abide by its principles in order to make it valuable to them and to those they influence. The system must be acceptable by their method of perception, faith, rationalism … Read more
The Big Idea

I guess his hope is that we will change and become a totally Marxist country and as a result public opinion will then remember him as a great president. (Do most communist countries’ public opinion think of Marx as … Read more
Obama, The U.S. and Chiropractic
Barak Obama does not love or even like the U.S. because of what it is or what it has been but because of what he expects to make it. On the contrary, he loathes what it is and has been. Similarly, some chiropractic leaders do not love or even like chiropractic because of what it … Read more
