    It is hard to disregard the influence of the power elite. They have welcomed a new generation of billionaires, but the old arrogance is still there. They know what is best for the rest of us and manipulate society to conform to their ideas. Right now, those ideas are forming around reducing the...

    Volunteering in Hospice

    I will be visiting with the 16 in-house patients and their families. From your account, it sounds very rewarding. I will shadow an experienced volunteer for a few days, starting this Wednesday. Then I can go on my own.
