We have been meeting monthly in Foster City since 09/2007 and would like to increase the number of people at our monthly discussions. We are a Charter Chapter of the American Humanist Association and each month discuss a book, article or other reading related to humanism, skepticism, free thought, etc. We are also looking to take action through the AHA action website or other local related groups. If you are a free thinker, skeptic, humanist, atheist, agnostic, etc. This is the group for you.

Do your clients fail to follow through on your coaching or consulting guidance? Does your staff fail to follow through on what they need to do to get the job done? Do you have clients (or staff) who know what they need to do, and you know what they need to do, but they just don’t do it?  As a trainer, have you ever wasted time and money designing and delivering your training programs only to find it was not appropriate...or even necessary? Wonder why?  We know why and you can, too.   Join …

[FYI: this group is not run by Dr. Michael Brown. In fact, he has nothing to do with it nor indorses it or even knows of its existence as of this writing]   In his book, "A Queer Thing Happened to America" (offered on Amazon), Dr. Michael Brown takes a factual look at the history and impact of the Homosexual Agenda. Could it be that like Feminism today, what might have started out as a good thing, a right not to be abused and to be treated humanly, has gone too far? Is it out of control? Ca …

It is causing a great disturbance that is rooted in the spiritual and that manifests physically as …

This was my tour of duty in the illusory world of hierarchical control, greed, fear and systemic hypnosis. I was living a half-life, and no-one was more aware of this fact than I was. There were, of course, moments of stunning humanity in my time in “the office” working as a financial adviser and all round salesman for the corpor …
