Our world has raised too high the prices of things which may not always secure the fundamentals of our life-needs.

Newspapers and magazines are losing out.

OK, here I go again, hunching in front of the computer.

I believe in protectionism.
Free trade and fair trade have sound and strong arguments for them.
This motivates me all the more to stand for protectionism.

China is clobbering our United States with enormous qualities and quantities of consumer goods.

I sold the most Chinese goods in my life in my capacity as a mere clerk for retail pharmacies.

China produces a lot of quality stationery products.
In our Naumkeag/Salem, Massachusetts,the gift bags with fairy and other fantasy designs are produced in China.

Dear Mr. President Barack H. Obama, Vice-President Joseph R. Biden and staff:

My neighbor from the Sudbury Democratic Town Committee handed me his health care notes. I support the SDTC stance, and here are some of the notes, with my own take on things figured in:

I. How well does our Current American Health Care System Work?

The purpose of any health care system is to reduce morbidity and mortality. How does our own United States compare with other countries on these very basic criteria?

Elections have been a thing for me since the 1980's, even before I could vote.

I did not read the books ghost-written in his name.
It was 1998 when I started leafing through Tadhana, which was written by professors from Marcos' and my alma mater, The University of the Philippines.

I want to see more cars parked in the basement garage of Natick Collections.

Not every man who pops pills grows up to be a Joe Gideon.
