World Futures: SOCIETY – Integrity: It’s Now In Transformation, How Do We Maintain It?

World Futures: What Do We Need?

By ANDY ANDREWS
Los Alamos World Futures Institute

Integrity is a property or state of being and can refer to both people and things. In respect to people, it describes a quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. When referring to things it describes a state of wholeness, correctness and unity.

While it is worthwhile to explore the intricacies and subtleties of integrity in detail, a more pointed, though general, consideration should be given to the changing environment of Earth and humanity.

Fr. Glenn: Bon Voyage

By Rev. Glenn Jones
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos

‘Tis the season of spring … of leafing, of flowering, of hatchlings spreading newly-fledged wings to eagerly, yet nervously, fly the nest … under watchful and anxious eyes of parents fluttering above, squawking: “Careful not to fall; it’s a long way down!” “Watch out for predators!” “Be wary of eating things that bite back!”

“Dude … what’s with your parents?”, squeaks the little chick from a neighboring nest. “They’re always that way,” is the response. “They don’t know crickets from crawdads, and always on our case! We’re Read More

Letter To The Editor: A Few Questions For Chandler

By GREG WHITE
Los Alamos
 
I’d like to ask Mr. Chandler a few questions. From the tone of your letters why do you engage in hyperbole instead of facts? You are after all a lawyer and have filed several lawsuits seeking to hold the council and citizens alike to the strict letter of the law. I’d like to know what area of law you specialize in because you seem to ignore constitutional law and charter law. Don’t lawyers usually research or at least have their paralegals research thoroughly before writing arguments? You seem oblivious to any of Los Alamos’ history.

It can be frustrating when you feel as if others don’t understand what you are saying. The truth may simply be that, even though we don’t recognize it as easily, we are not conveying our message in a way that others can receive it.

Communication, real communication, seems to be desperately missing from our world. So, what can we do?

James’ words contain Read More
