The basic function of our physical bodies is to reproduce so the species continues. All life is defined by its on-going drive to replicate. The biochemical nature of self-replicating DNA drives the existence of life on this planet forward. But what if we are not interested or are not capable of following this imperative? IContinue reading “The Pendulum Swings”

But, no, we get the Ms Male PrincipleContinue reading “Wake Up, Woke”
