Have you ever heard the expression "I have more month than money", or "I'm so broke I can't pay attention"? These expressions are common to most of us living paycheck to paycheck. We always want better for our children. We would like our children to become adults free from a consumer lifestyle, and have financial FREEDOM. Do your children understand terms like "Consumer Awareness", "Bargain Shopping", "Investing and Retirement", "Depreciation", and "Predatory Lender"? These are terms we want...

As it seems to be a constant bane of contemplations, I once again am persuaded to highlight the ineptness of understanding of communication and transparency from the Roundup Public School district and the administrators and elected board charged directly with keeping the taxpaying members of this community informed.

I’m hearing concerns from hardworking Montana cattle producers who are struggling to compete with the four biggest packers who currently dominate the market. These large packers face ser...
At this point in my life, I've been consistently opposed to war for about twice as long as I spent as a Marine infantryman (with precisely the attitude toward war you would expect). The change was incremental and took a few years, but I consider my decision to march in the streets against the 2003 US invasion of Iraq to have been moral, and my decision to march in formation toward participation in the 1991 Gulf War to have been immoral. Every international conflict tests that conviction: Will THIS be the one war that makes me reconsider and...
