How Big is Your Circle of Tolerance?

Shôn Ellerton, June 4, 2023 If the size of a circle reflects one’s tolerance level to others, just how big is your circle? A thought came to me the other day. To what level of tolerance could we, or should we, accept from someone belonging to an outlying group? A…

Shôn Ellerton, March 9, 2023 I remember a time when the passion of space exploration was all the rage. What happened to it? Perhaps we have also lost the secrets from those who architected these great moments in history. I remember so vividly my dreams of becoming an astronaut during…
